Residents of Aurelia receive electricity from Aurelia Municipal Electric. The electric currently has 538 electric meters, which consist of residential, commercial and industrial customers. The utility purchases power from Northwest Iowa Power Cooperative (NIPCO) and Western Area Power Administration (WAPA). Aurelia also belongs to Western Iowa Municipal Electric Cooperative Association (WIMECA) which is a cooperative that includes the cities of Anthon, Aurelia, Hinton, Mapleton, Manning and Onawa.
The electric is governed by a Board of Trustees. The current board members are Roger Redig; Craig Ballantyne; Marvin Krause; Gordon Grohe; Dave Johnson Chairman; and the employees of Aurelia Electric are: Pat Howey, Electric Superintendent; Mitch Langschwager, Lineman; Cindy Kai, Board Secretary and Utility Clerk.
Reliability has always been a main concern of the utility. When the utility was formed in 1974, the decision was made to use all underground lines to supply power to the City of Aurelia. These original lines have all been replaced with new underground lines in recent years.
Aurelia Municipal participates in NIPCO’s rebate programs for electric heat and electric water heaters. There are generous rebates available for home owners to install electric heat sources and electric water heaters. There are also reduced rates available for the kilowatts used for electric heat and electric water heaters.
Aurelia Municipal values its customers and the quality of life in Aurelia and does all it can to help maintain this high quality. Many improvements to the community are a result of monetary and/or man power and materials supplied by the utility. We have assisted in the installation of lights at the newest Little League ball field, lights at the high school football field, the new concession stand at the baseball/softball fields, the remodeling of the football concession stand, and lights and wiring of new computers at the Library. Donations have been made to the Aurelia Fire Department, the Aurelia Day Care, Aurelia Economic Development, Cherokee Area Economic Development, Aurelia High School After Prom, Aurelia High School DECA trips, Aurelia Heritage Society, Friends of Aurelia events, swimming pool improvements and many other worthwhile community projects.
