We recognize electricity is vital to the quality of life for people.  For some, it’s the cost of power that impact their disposable income.  For others, it’s the reliability of power that impacts their everyday life.  Maybe it’s their increasing desire for clean energy.  It’s all important.

That’s why we are focused on providing affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions.  When we execute on these priorities, we make life better for the Good Life Community.

We prioritize supporting our customers by offering low-cost, affordable power.  We are proud to announce that a residential bill comparison from February 2023 to January 2024 shows that the City of Alachua provides the lower-cost power.  A rate study conducted by Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) confirmed this achievement.

Having reliable electricity is essential, just like having affordable power.  We understand how much you depend on your electric service.  Customers want their house to be cool when it’s hot outside, and they need electricity to power essentials of their everyday life.  When you flip the switch, you expect the light to come on.  We agree.

That’s why we are committed to building a stronger, smarter grid to deliver electricity you can count on in good weather and bad.  Our team works year-round to enhance your service and deploy innovative solutions that benefit you every day.  When outages do occur, these improvements help us restore your power faster.

Here are some of the ways we are strengthen the system:

• Power Pole Inspections
  Continuously inspect all power poles and replace those that don’t meet our standards for strength.
• Vegetation Management
  Proactively review and trim vegetation near power to prevent outages caused by tree limbs.
• Strengthening main power lines
  Actively convert wood poles to concrete and transitioning main power line from over overhead to underground.

These investments are paying off for our customers, and we remain dedicated to providing you with the best service possible.

Many customers today want clean energy, as long as electricity stays affordable and reliable.  The City looks for clean energy opportunities.

Our Florida sun is what makes Alachua such a beautiful place to live, work, and play.  We are committed to keeping it that way by advancing the use of solar energy in our community.  We are making the most of Florida’s sunshine, turning it into clean energy and using it to power your home or business.  The City is looking into and evaluating solar opportunities for a stable fuel source that results with more stable bills and future savings that benefit everyone.
