The Energy Authority Solution

We understand that public power utilities are confronted with the challenge of managing energy supplies and related risks on top of all the responsibilities that come with serving retail customers. While public power professionals often handle this balancing act very well, their opportunities to manage costs and risks are usually limited due to the realities of the market.

The Energy Authority has solved these challenges and created unprecedented value for its members through economies of scale.

With TEA, public power utilities now have access to the dedicated resources and sophisticated systems necessary to maximize the value of supply contracts and generation assets. In addition, TEA's broad market reach gives its members the advantage of national trading and price discovery from an organization they control.

The Energy Authority can help you provide lower rates, reduce your risk and remain competitive in a changing market. And in today's world, that can make all the difference to you and your customers.
