KMPA, headquartered in Paducah, Kentucky, was created in 2005 by a group of forward thinking municipally-owned electric systems in Kentucky to deliver affordable and reliable electric power to customers while keeping in mind a responsibility to the environment. We are a “Joint Public Agency”. This means that KMPA is a not-for-profit organization owned and governed by its members, who are all representatives of Public Power. These members work together to maximize the benefit to the communities which they serve, communities which own the electric utility. KMPA helps its members in the coordination of planning, construction and operation of new energy facilities, and joint purchases, sales, and exchanges of electric power.
