EMP1 Celebrates 10 Years
Energy Management Project No. 1 (EMP1) is celebrating 10 years of existence. It was officially created in 2006, by a set of agreements between KMEA and five member cities: Baldwin City, Gardner, Garnett, Osawatomie and Ottawa.
Under the EMP1 agreement, project cities operationally combined their municipal electric systems to purchase electric power and transmission as a centrally dispatched group, and to manage power supplied from their resources in the GRDA, SPA and WAPA projects. KMEA began delivering electricity under the EMP No. 1 on June 1, 2006.
The City Pomona became the newest member of EMP1 in 2015. The City started to receive power from KMEA on July 1, 2015.
On June 28th, the EMP 1 monthly meeting was held at KMEA’s Office. EMP1 members and staff celebrated the anniversary with a delicious cake.
