Electricity
Wapakoneta's Public Power - Moderate Rates with Maximum Service
Wapakoneta is one of Ohio's 81 public power communities. In other words, our local customers - residential and businesses - own the electric company. As a community, we determine our electric strategy. How's that for an innovative approach? No big corporation a thousand miles away is setting price and policy. We decide where we buy our power and how it's generated - coal, gas, hydro, wind. We establish the rates, fees, and distribution systems. Our service is exceptional. Our industrial leaders meet regularly with the electric department managers. If there is a problem, you know exactly who to call and where their office is. Our system takes the risk out of electric supply.
We are planning for the future. For example, the City of Wapakoneta provides electricity to its West Central Ohio Industrial Center at I-75 and US 33. The City currently provides two delivery voltages to the site: 1) 6.5MW capacity 69,000V/12.470 substation and 2) 10MW capacity 69,000V transmission line.
