Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO) is the region’s leading electrical power utility provider headquartered in Marquette, Michigan with centers across the U.P. Formed in 1884, UPPCO has been dedicated to “powering” the people of the Upper Peninsula for more than 135 years.

UPPCO has recently been working to transition its energy portfolio to more than 50% clean, reliable and affordable energy by 2025 through the addition of new renewable energy generation facilities in the U.P. Jim Larsen, CEO, is on the InvestUP Board of Directors.

As a part of our commitment to the Upper Peninsula, we collaborate with partners to share some of the most compelling stories about business and job growth across the region. Our goal through these stories is to get at the heart of what makes the U.P. unique — and to ensure these stories travel beyond our peninsula and broadly illustrate why the UP is the place to live and work.
