St. Pete Eyes Power Independence
Description
St. Petersburg’s City Council has approved a $590,000 study to explore ditching Duke Energy and running its own power system — a bold move fueled by rising bills, hurricane aftermath, and community demand for better service. Residents are pushing for change, while experts from NewGen Strategies will analyze costs and public input, though concerns linger about infrastructure readiness and potential short-term rate hikes. Supporters believe long-term savings and control are worth the risk — this could be the start of a new energy era for the city.
