Communities
By joining together, our communities are stronger and closer than you might think! For over 40 years, Utah Municipal Power Agency (UMPA) has provided reliable and economical power supply needs to six (6) member cities including Provo, Spanish Fork, Salem, Manti, Nephi, & Levan. UMPA is a public entity and is governed by the elected Mayors from the member cities. The six electric utility managers form a technical advisory committee and work closely with the governing board and UMPA staff. UMPA supports and offers a full range of services to the member communities as follows:
• Energy services and power supply including renewables products
• Transmission scheduling services
• Generation development and financing
• Legislative action and regulatory compliance for Public Power
• Energy efficiency and renewable programs
By working together through UMPA, the member cities can provide their communities with many benefits such as:
Shared costs in working together to for training, energy efficiency programs, resource acquisitions, equipment, supplies and mutual aid. • Economies of scale over individual efforts by aggregating supply requirements for the cities in power market purchases and self-supply of generation. • Single focus on power supply to members while city resources and staff are spread thinly in managing system reliability, excellent customer services and effective utility operations. UMPA and each city are members of American Public Power Association where the combined vision and goals of over 2,000 Public Power utilities are the same: to deliver superior services through joint advocacy, education, and collaboration.
Our cities and towns may be separated by miles, but together as UMPA, we can do (and have done) great things!
