About Us
The objectives of the Southeastern Power Administration (SEPA) are to market the electric power and energy generated by the Federal reservoir projects and to encourage widespread use of the power at the lowest possible cost to consumers. Power rates are formulated based on sound financial principles. Preference in the sale of power is given to public bodies and cooperatives, referred to as preference customers.
Southeastern's responsibilities include negotiating, preparing, executing and administering contracts for the sale of electric power. Southeastern prepares wholesale rates and repayment studies for the regional interconnected reservoir projects, supporting deliveries made to serve contractual loads. Southeastern is responsible for scheduling hydropower generation at the Corps' facilities within the marketing area to ensure and maintain continuity of electric service for our customers. Southeastern does not own transmission lines but contracts with neighboring utilities to provide transmission service for the delivery of Federal power.
Currently, Southeastern's 471 wholesale customers serve more than 12 million residential and industrial consumers!
