We had an amazing turnout with over 1,000 attendees at this year’s Perry Planes and Cars event! It was a fantastic day filled with fun for all ages. A huge thank you to our employees who helped make the event run smoothly and to our sponsors whose support made it all possible. Special thanks to Airport Manager Terence Hulet for his hard work and dedication to this event — improvements and additions for next year’s event are already in the works!

Calling All Perry Residents! OMPA is conducting a Residential Survey for City of Perry electric customers. If you live in Perry and the City of Perry provides your electricity, we want your input! OMPA 2025 Residential Satisfaction Survey.
What is Public Power? Every time a City of Perry customer pays their utility bill, flips a switch, or shops locally, they are doing more than just powering their home - they are powering their community.
In a public power community like Perry, utility revenue is reinvested back into the community. That means support for services we rely on and enjoy - like our local parks and cemetery, fire and ambulance, police, municipal airport, library, streets, and more. Public power is local people working together to meet local needs.
Having crews nearby means faster response times and reliable service. When the power goes out or issues arise, our team is right here and ready to respond. Visit OurLocalPower.org to learn more
