Wholesale Power Supply

ElectriCities manages the wholesale power supply for the two Power Agencies, North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency (NCEMPA) and North Carolina Municipal Power Agency Number 1 (NCMPA1). Wholesale rates are reviewed annually to meet the Power Agencies contractual obligations. Catawba Nuclear Station tour information can be found under the Member Login.

Power Supply and Load Management

ElectriCities staffs a 7x24 Operations Center with two NCMPA1 Power Marketers and a four person on-call team that performs power supply scheduling, monitors telemetry, and forecasts and dispatches load management and distributed energy resources. Load graph information for your Power Agency can be found under the Member Login.

Distributed Energy Resources

ElectriCities operates and maintains Agency, City and/or Customer owned distributed generation and renewable resources for the Power Agencies during periods of high energy demand and high market prices. These resources are managed through Generation Policies and comply with contractual obligations. ElectriCities Recommended Interconnection Standards can be found through the Member Login.

Transmission and Distribution Delivery Interconnection

ElectriCities manages the delivery interconnections with Duke Energy coordinating when new Power Agency Member facilities come on-line, or existing facilities need an increase in capacity. Contact information and procedures can be found through the Member Login.

Hurricane Preparedness

Hurricanes can be deadly. Here are some things you can do to prepare before a storm:

  • Gather emergency supplies (flashlights, battery-operated radios, batteries, etc.)
  • If you have small children, help them remember important information by creating a family plan and emergency kit
  • Move yard items and furniture inside
  • Monitor official weather bulletins

For more tips, watch the video.

All the hard work from the NCMPA1 staff to notice opportunities to lower rates responsibly is appreciated.
