Officials with Atlantic Municipal Utilities say a report from the American Public Power Association on electric rates states AMU ranks as the 6th lowest Iowa cost provider in the State, out of 182 utilities operating in Iowa. AMU General Manager Steve Tjepkes says the report shows there are only three electric utilities in Iowa with lower Residential Rates than AMU, only two with lower Commercial Rates, and only one utility in Iowa with lower Industrial Rates, than AMU.

Tjepkes said in a statement, “We were very pleased to see the results of the latest rate comparisons among electric utilities. While keeping rates low is important to everyone in our community,” Tjepkes said “we believe it is the customer service our employees provide every day that we are most proud of and strive to maintain at AMU.”

AMU provides electrical service to nearly 4-thousand residential and commercial customers within the City of Atlantic, and another 675 residential and commercial customers in the surrounding rural area.
