History
American Municipal Power was founded with the purpose of providing the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power and energy to its members at lower costs. This purpose is served by:
- Joint ownership of electric facilities.
- Pooled buying power in the energy markets.
- Pursuing additional means of generating, transmitting and distributing electric power and energy.
The original members were all located in Ohio, giving American Municipal Power-Ohio, or AMP-Ohio its name. By 2009, AMP-Ohio had grown to serve member communities in six states, thus the Board of Trustees dropped Ohio from the name to better reflect the growing geographic footprint.
