There really is strength in numbers. By pooling resources, AMEA’s 11 public power utilities gain the economies of scale needed to be efficient in today’s marketplace. Together, they can purchase low‑cost, reliable electricity for their communities and take advantage of the latest technologies to better serve customer needs. This collaborative approach results in substantial savings for their communities. AMEA strives for economic opportunity through innovation.
