Episode Details

St. Petersburg is eyeing a bold move to ditch Duke Energy and launch its own power company, after voting to spend nearly $600,000 on a feasibility study fueled by resident frustration over skyrocketing electricity bills. While the current contract with Duke Energy holds until August, the city is gathering intel on infrastructure needs, potential savings, and long-term viability — with reports due in 8-9 months. Inspired by other Florida cities running their own utilities, locals want more control — especially during storms — even as Duke pitches renewed reliability. This study could be the first step toward cheaper, city-run energy.
