Our History of Service and Success
In 1998, the American Public Power Association created Hometown Connections to negotiate group purchasing programs with leading vendors while providing management consulting to prepare community-owned utilities for the challenges ahead. During more than 20 years of service, Hometown has provided products and services to more than 900 organizations and saved our market more than $18 million collectively through group discount programs.
Our organization has evolved with the industry. Today, Hometown Connections, Inc. is owned by the Alabama Municipal Electric Authority, American Municipal Power, Inc., Great Lakes Utilities of Wisconsin, Missouri Public Utility Alliance, Northern California Power Agency, and Vermont Public Power Supply Authority.
The Hometown Connections of today maintains its original purpose—to help community-owned utilities obtain the products/services they need to survive and thrive in an ever-changing marketplace. We work to preserve the benefits of living and working in communities where local citizens control the pricing and operation of their electric, gas, water, and wastewater services.
