Florida Municipal Power Agency

FMPA was created largely in response to the Arab oil embargo that hit the U.S. economy hard in the 1970s.

At that time, many of Florida's municipal electric utilities were trying to determine how to survive, and small cities needed the economies of scale that a larger organization could provide.

With a $2 million seed money loan, the original members of FMPA created an organization to serve and support them, and to ensure the survival and vitality of Florida's municipal electric utilities in the future.

CI4 achieved commercial operation on July 11, 2011, and is the most efficient and cleanest power station in the State of Florida at this time.

CI4 is owned entirely by FMPA and located at the Cane Island Generating Facility which it co-owns and operates with the Kissimmee Utility Authority near Intercession City, Florida.

The executive committee governs the business and affairs of the ARP and approves the FMPA general (non-projects) budget.
