The first electric plant in Opelika was a small, private owned plant built around the year 1890 by Mr. J. W. Persons. The location was the site of Frazier’s Gin, which today is S. Railroad Avenue under the 10th Street Bridge. This plant operated only at nights and furnished power only for lights at that time. It operated on two small steam engines.
In 1910 the citizens of Opelika floated a bond issue of $30,000.00 and built a City Light and Power Plant on First Avenue. In 1917 the Alabama Power Company entered into a franchise with the local company to furnish the necessary power for the city’s needs. This first plant was very small, having only 250 KW.
In 1981, Opelika Light & Power became a member of Alabama Municipal Electric Authority.
Mayor Gary Fuller and the Opelika City Council made a commitment to the citizens of Opelika. The City of Opelika is committed to providing the same reliable power service and will be moving the city forward into the future as the first community in Alabama to offer 100% fiber to the premise.
