The Little Valley Municipal Electric System was formed in 1896. The Village Board are the officers of the System. The Village of Little Valley Municipal Electric System supplies power to its customers through a contract with the New York Power Authority (NYPA) for an allotment of low-cost hydro power generated by the Niagara Project in Lewiston NY through the year 2040. However, in months when customer power use exceeds the Village's hydro allotment, additional supplemental power is purchased by the Village from the New York Municipal Power Agency (NYMPA). NYMPA purchases additional power needed from the open market for its 34 member systems including the Village and the cost fluctuates based on current market conditions. The power supplied travels to the Village through transmission lines. These transmission lines are owned by National Grid. The Village pays transmission wheeling charges to National Grid to get the power into the Village. The electric system is regulated by the New York State Public Service Commission.
