Florida Municipal Electric Association

Florida Municipal Electric Association Promoting a positive image and enhancing public confidence in municipal electric utilities.

The Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) represents the unified interests of 33 public power communities across Florida. FMEA was established in 1942 in response to WWII fuel shortages and is now the official meeting place for Florida’s public power community. Municipal electric utilities provide low-cost, reliable electric service, and have been doing so for over a century. In addition to municipal electric utility members, FMEA has three other membership categories: associate member companies, public agencies, and affiliates. Together, FMEA staff and utility members work to protect public power’s legislative, regulatory and operational interests, and to strengthen our common bonds for the benefit of Florida’s communities. Public power utilities play an important role in Florida’s electric industry:

- Serve 15 percent of the state’s population – 3.0 million Floridians;
- Provide an industry-wide yardstick for efficient operation and superior service;
- Promote increased wholesale competition to lower consumer power costs, and have been at the forefront of efforts to improve wholesale transmission access;
- Are community-owned and locally managed; and
- Support local government with transfer payments, which help communities pay for fire and police protection and other important local services. FMEA provides its members with government relations, communications and education services. The association is at the forefront of energy industry trends, and advances public power utilities toward enhancing services and continually innovating in all aspects of utility operations.

Florida Public Power Community Highlight: City of Starke - Government

The City of Starke's electric utility company is the oldest public power organization in Florida, having been founded in 1890. This small-town public power community of 5,796 residents is large enough to have most of the chain businesses and restaurants that Floridians have come to expect, along with several popular local eateries. However, surprisingly, there is no Publix supermarket in Starke!
