HES celebrating Public Power Week

It’s Public Power Week across the country and Hopkinsville Electric System is offering ways for its customers to help celebrate.

General Manager Jeff Hurd says HES customers can log onto their website and register for one of four $50 gift cards that will be given away later this week.

HES serves about 13,000 electric customers and 5,000 fiber internet customers and they recently celebrated 80 years of powering the city.

HES will be giving away free ice cream cones from Heather’s Homemade Ice Cream Wednesday from 2 until 4:30 p.m. at its facility on East Ninth Street.
