Where does municipal utiility power come from?
<br /> Many of our municipal electric utilities rely on municipal joint action agencies for their power supply.A recent study
<br /> by the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association(MMUA)shows that 58 percent of the power sold by municipal
<br /> electric utilities in Minnesota came from municipal joint action agencies. Sixteen percent of the power sold by mu-
<br /> nicipals was purchased from investor-owned utilities, 13 percent from electric cooperatives and 13 percent from the
<br /> federal Western Area Power Administration.These joint action agencies serve Minnesota municipal utilities:
