Starkville Utilities General Manager Edward Kemp was appointed to the board of directors for Seven States Power Corporation during its quarterly meeting in early February.
Seven States Power is an energy solutions cooperative, owned and operated by the 153 local power companies across seven states of the Tennessee Valley, that provides essential services to build the economy and enhance life in the communities it serves.
The cooperative is governed by a 17-member board of members elected by each of the 10 divisions and seven districts in the Tennessee Valley. Kemp is the Division 10 representative.
Kemp served as city engineer for 14 years before becoming Starkville Utilities’ general manager in 2022. As general manager, Kemp has overseen the company as it has completed several capital improvement projects to modernize and enhance Starkville’s electric, water and wastewater infrastructure.
“As we look to the future, it’s critical that utility providers have the resources to effectively evaluate new technologies and environmentally conscious energy solutions,” Kemp said in a press release from Starkville Utilities.“Serving on Seven States’ board is an honor and a unique opportunity to ensure that Starkville Utilities is on the leading edge of innovative energy strategies that can benefit our customers.”
