Currently, the Hibbing Public Utilities Commission owns and operates a cogeneration power plant that provides both steam and electricity for the distribution to the citizens of Hibbing, Minn. A commission made up of three citizens appointed by the Hibbing City Council, each for one three-year term, is the decision making body of the utility, overseeing all projects and programs, reviewing and approving budget, and determining utility projects. Hibbing Public Utilities celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1995. The utility also furnishes water and natural gas services to the city of Hibbing proper, Kitzville and Kelly Lake, Minn. The Hibbing Light and Water Company was incorporated in 1894, one year after the incorporation of Hibbing under the village form of government, by Hibbing and Trimble of Duluth, prominent mining operators.
