"RELIABLE - LOCAL - YOURS"

The Village of New Bremen owns and operates its own electrical distribution system established in 1908. There are over eighty municipally owned electric systems in Ohio, owned by the people that they serve. The Village is a member owner of American Municipal Power - Ohio (AMP-Ohio), a joint action agency. For more Benefits of Public Power, click here.

AMP-Ohio contracts for and dispatches power for the Village from the following primary sources:

  • New York Power Authority (Niagara Falls)
  • AMP-Ohio's own Gorsuch Power Plant in southeast Ohio.
  • AMP-Ohio's own Hydroelectric Plant on the Ohio River.
  • AMP-Ohio's JV-2 Peaking Generators at various locations around Ohio.
  • AMP-Ohio's Gas Turbines at various locations around Ohio.
  • Dayton Power & Light Company
  • Cinergy
  • Meijer Warehouse, Troy, Ohio.

The system consists of two electrical substations and loop-type circuits which provide redundancy in order to increase reliability. Electrical power is delivered to the Village at 69,000 volts by the Dayton Power and Light Company. At the two Village Substations the voltage is reduced to 12,470/7200 volts for distribution around town to individual customer transformers. The peak system load of 12,000 kW usually occurs in July or August around 2:00 pm. Total energy sold per year is about 62,000,000 kWh.

In addition to retail electrical customers, the Electric Department also maintains traffic signals and street lights, and is heavily involved in the Village's extensive Christmas Lighting program. The Village staff includes five full time, year around employees including Matt Krieg, Superintendent.

The Department is based at 307 S. Herman Street.  

Hours:   Monday-Friday;   7:00 am - 3:30 pm.
