New
Bremen Electric Department
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.

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.
