Portsmouth Power and Light

The Portsmouth Power and Light Company, commonly abbreviated as PPL is a publicly-owned company of J Andres. It was established by an act of the Commune in 2098 after being supported by Premier Mateo Bourbon. It follows a string of other public utility companies founded in the early years of King Phillippe's reign such as WASL and National Rail. The mission statement of PPL was to construct and operate power plants in or near all of the major cities to provide electricity to the most citizens. This urban strategy was condemned by the Libertarian party who had many constituents in rural areas. President Pierre Bourbon recommended those still living in rural areas to move closer to the major cities as the government could not adequately provide all services away from population centers.
