Governmental Affairs
Electric Cities of Alabama (ECA) is a coalition of the state’s municipally- owned electric utilities. Alabama’s electric cities span the state from the Tennessee Valley region in the north to the Gulf and Wiregrass regions of the south. They serve approximately one million customers in 36 cities.
For the purpose of statewide unity of Alabama’s electric cities, ECA makes every effort to achieve consensus among its member utilities and become the voice of Alabama’s electric cities. Activities are facilitated by ECA staff to bring representatives of member cities together with their elected officials throughout the year. These activities develop a better working relationship between electric cities and their respective legislators, as well as other elected officials.
ECA works with the American Public Power Association’s (APPA) legislative staff to support any legislative efforts that effect ECA’s membership. This activity includes communications and contacts with the Alabama congressional delegation, urging their support of the Electric Cities legislative agenda within Alabama and the nation.
ECA coordinates the Alabama electric cities’ activities in conjunction with the APPA Legislative Rally. ECA makes appointments with the Alabama congressional delegation and coordinates with other groups to prevent duplication of activities.
