Kissimmee Utility Authority

Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) is a U.S. local government entity and municipality located in Kissimmee, Florida, registered in SAM.gov through March 2026. As a municipal utility, KUA is responsible for providing essential infrastructure and utility services to the Kissimmee metropolitan area. The organization is focused on energy infrastructure, transmission, and utility management, with a particular emphasis on electrical power systems and grid resilience.

KUA has been the recipient of multiple federal grants, primarily through the Economic Development Administration and the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management. These grants have supported critical infrastructure projects, including a significant $9 million investment for designing and constructing two new 69/230kV hybrid underground transmission circuits to replace existing overhead transmission lines in the Neocity area, with a project completion date of January 2029. Additionally, KUA has received several sub-awards related to utilities restoration and management costs, specifically tied to Hurricane Ian recovery efforts. These grants, totaling multiple awards in 2024 and 2025, demonstrate KUA's role in critical infrastructure restoration, power system resilience, and emergency response. The sub-awards, ranging from power restoration to management costs, indicate the organization's comprehensive approach to utility infrastructure maintenance, repair, and strategic planning in response to natural disasters and infrastructure challenges.
