About us
The Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) represents the unified interests of Florida’s 33 public power communities. FMEA was established in 1942 in response to WWII fuel shortages and is now the statewide trade association and voice for Florida’s municipal electric utilities. FMEA provides its members with government relations, mutual aid coordination, communications, education, and networking opportunities. The association is at the forefront of energy industry news and trends and supports its member utilities by promoting public power and delivering superior services through advocacy, mutual aid, education, and collaboration. In addition to municipal electric utility members, FMEA offers an associate membership to vendor companies who want to connect and do business with Florida’s public power utilities. Public power utilities play an important role in Florida’s electric industry: - 33 public power utilities, geographically dispersed across the state - Serve 14 percent of the state’s population – 1.5 million homes and businesses or 3+ million Floridians - Employ more than 5,700 Floridians - Provide low-cost, reliable electric service, and have been doing so for over a century - Provide safe, efficient operations and superior service - Promote energy efficiency and conservation to lower consumer power costs - 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.

Florida Public Power Community Highlight: Tallahassee The City of Tallahassee is not only a Florida public power community, but it has also been the state capital since before 1845, when Florida gained statehood. The new Florida State Capitol was built in 1977 and the original building was converted into the Florida Historic Capitol Museum for locals and visitors to enjoy. Annually, lawmakers convene at the Capitol in downtown Tallahassee for the legislative session to create and amend state laws for the benefit of all Floridians. #FLPublicPower #PublicPower #DYK
