Section 37-14-30 Declaration of findings and policy; relationship to 1984 act. The Legislature of the State of Alabama has investigated the economic, financial and environmental impact associated with the potential for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for the furnishing of retail electric service. It has been determined that with respect to retail electric sales, the benefit normally associated with competition between two or more entities for customers is outweighed by the tremendous cost burden which must be borne by such customers associated with the maintenance of two or more duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further finding of the legislature that the existence of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of electricity at retail is not in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such duplication has on environmental and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared that the policy of the State of Alabama is to ensure effective,...

Section 11-50A-2 Legislative intent. The municipalities are now empowered to own and operate electric distribution systems to serve their citizens, inhabitants, and customers by providing them electricity for all purposes.

The Legislature finds and declares that the provision of alternative sources of bulk electric power and energy to the municipalities through joint action in the fields of generation,...
