State Center Municipal Electricity

State Center Municipal Electricity is a city owned electric utility that serves the electric customers in State Center and approximately 45 miles of the surrounding rural area.

The power plant and electric utility was established in 1899. The utility is under the direction of the State Ceneter city council, with four employees to carry out the daily operations.

Until 1975, all electricity was generated at the local power plant. In 1975, the power plant was interconnected with the regional transmission grid and we began purchasing power from other generation facilities.  Presently, we purchase power from the Ameron Company. The generation system is still maintained and operated as a standby facility with the ability to serve our customers at times of high demand and in emergency situation when the transmission system may be interrupted.

Business hours at the power plant are 7:30 am – 4 pm
Billing information may be obtained at City Hall, between the hours of 7-12 1-5
