Municipalities play a vital role in Americans’ lives through the services they provide. As these services increasingly depend on electrical power, the importance of having a dependable source of backup power has never been greater. However, many municipalities have to endure slow procurement processes, delayed power infrastructure projects, and being locked into rigid, proprietary systems. 

Worldwide Power Products (WPP) of Houston is an invaluable partner for city councils, townships, mayors, city managers, and other elected officials seeking to insulate their operations from power outages. We serve as a one-stop-shop, offering everything from sales, rentals, and parts to a wide variety of services, from maintenance and repairs to full installs and custom-built power systems. And as a member of the TIPS cooperative purchasing system, we save cities time and money avoiding the bid process while giving them access to pre-approved, discounted equipment.

WPP power solutions keep 911 call centers, traffic lights, sewage plants,  and other critical operations running seamlessly, even during outages.

Case Studies: Real-World Examples of Municipal Backup Power Solutions

Greater Houston Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs)

Houston’s municipal utility districts typically serve thousands of customers each and often have strict budget oversight. So this MUD was thrilled when WPP was able to save them 40% on electrical upgrades and backup power generation installs at three of their locations around Space City.

With a hurricane on the way, a failing water plant generator needed to be replaced in a hurry. Not only did WPP get a new generator in place that saved thousands of dollars upfront thanks to its enhanced efficiency, we completed the project in less than half the typical time.
