Welcome to NIMECA
North Iowa Municipal Electric Cooperative Association (NIMECA), with headquarters in Humboldt, Iowa, is a municipal joint action agency serving 13 municipal electric utilities located in the State of Iowa. NIMECA was organized in 1965 to provide the most efficient and economical power available to its consumer-owned members.

The key benefit of belonging to NIMECA is to be a member of a Joint Action Agency. This means that NIMECA members cooperate together to achieve success in the operation of the organization and their own electric systems. Other benefits include: Joint financing, consumer-owned, purchase and sale of capacity and energy among members, long-term planning, monthly billings, efficient use of energy, contract negotiations, advisory services, strength through numbers, group studies, legislative influence and MAPP membership.
