Alabama Municipal Electric Authority
Power That Works for You!
Energy Efficiency
The Alabama Municipal Electric Authority (AMEA) and its 11 Member cities continue to provide customers with tools and resources to help you manage your energy costs all year long. We encourage customers to be wise-energy users. We know it’s important to you and your family to maximize your energy dollars, whether it’s during the “dog days” of summer or the bitter cold of “Old Man Winter.” Some of the resources in this section include information on the Alabama Weatherization Assistance Program, ENERGY STAR® and Energy Depot® as well as energy-efficiency tips.
Economic Development
AMEA’s Economic Development Program works with and supports the efforts of our Members by enhancing existing industries and bringing in new industry. AMEA provides no interest loans through the Capital Fund Program and grants are available to assist with special economic development projects and events. AMEA also plays a vital role in supporting statewide recruiting events and continues to build relationships with other utilities and groups to provide opportunities for AMEA Members and the state.
Scholarship Program
Thanks to AMEA and its Members, 33 high school seniors will enroll in a four-year university or two-year college this year through the AMEA Scholarship Program. Scholarships, totaling approximately $82,500, have been awarded in the 2013 program. Each year, AMEA and its 11 Member cities make available 33, $2,500 scholarships, which include regular and technical school scholarships. To be eligible for either of AMEA’s scholarships, a student’s family must receive electric service from a Member’s electric utility and the student must attend an Alabama college or university.
