About us
Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) is a wholesale power agency owned by 33 municipal electric utilities. FMPA’s mission is to provide power that is low-cost, reliable, and affordable, as well as provide value-added services for its owner-customers. Our members serve more than 3 million Florida residents. Each FMPA member is locally owned and operated, but they work together on common needs. For example, by coordinating the power supply needs of several communities, the utilities can build larger, more efficient power plants and share operating expenses, all of which reduces the cost of electricity. FMPA has six power supply projects. We supply all or some of the power 24 of our 33 members. Some cities do not purchase power from FMPA, but utilize other services from the Agency.

“FMEA is continuing to actively monitor Hurricane Milton, now a Category 5 storm, for anticipated impacts to Florida’s public power communities. Twenty five of our 33 municipal member utilities collectively serving more than 1.3 million customers are currently preparing for potential impacts from Hurricane Milton. Our mutual aid network, comprised of utilities in Florida and across the United States, is mobilizing to support affected areas. We have already secured commitments from more than 50 utilities in 16 states, with more commitments growing our restoration workforce rapidly. Florida utilities are working diligently to bring in as many power resources as possible to support efforts following Milton. However, thousands of utility restoration personnel remain in areas of the Southeast still recovering from Hurricane Helene, which could impact or limit resources typically available to support Florida utilities. While public power utilities work year-round to harden their utility infrastructure against storms and emergencies, the forecasted damages caused by Milton could be extensive. We urge all customers to follow guidance from their local emergency management officials and prepare for possible extended power outages.” To read the full statement, visit our website: bit.ly/4ezMygg. #FLPublicPower #PublicPower #MutualAid #Milton

With the help of City of Mount Dora and Kissimmee Utility Authority, FMPA hosted a field trip last week for 20 applied engineering students from Trinity Catholic High School in Ocala. A representative from Ocala Electric Utility joined the group as they visited the Mount Dora Community Solar Farm and Cane Island Power Park to learn about different types of generation and how municipal utilities operate. Thank you to our #FLPublicPower community for help making this event happen!

Mechanical Engineering Student at UCF | Former Power Generations Engineer Intern at Florida Municipal Power Agency | Co-Founder of Pickleband LLC
I recently finished my internship as a Power Generations Engineering Intern at Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA), and I am beyond grateful and could not have asked for a better experience. I wanted to sincerely thank my mentor Jason Wailgum for all the guidance and advice he gave me along the way and to Chelsea Dixon, David Schumann, and Peter Bunora, P.E. for believing in me and giving me this incredible opportunity. I also wanted to thank the rest of my engineering teammates David Readio and Rad Martinez for all they did for me throughout this amazing internship with this wonderful company. The lessons I’ve learned from each of you will stay with me as I take the next steps in my career. I am excited to apply everything I’ve gained during this time, and can't wait to apply what I have learned to the next chapter in my future!
