NCEMPA Board Meeting in Wilson

NCEMPA Board of Commissioners will be meeting on Wednesday, February 24, @ 10:00 am at the Wilson Operations Center located on Herring Ave. Councilman Donald Evans represents Wilson.


The NCEMPA (North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency) consists of 32 cities and towns located in the eastern part of the state including Wilson, Rocky Mount and Greenville. These cities own and operate their electric systems. NCEMPA provides wholesale power to its participants. NCEMPA is the middle man recently mentioned at the city council meeting. The question was raised why not eliminate the middle man and buy directly from Progress Energy. The answer from local officials remain the same. Wilson has an obligated debt to ElectriCities and there is nothing that can be done. So they say.
