I’m lucky enough to be in such an area. Note the city takes a bit of the above as profit too. Not that that’s a bad thing but it just goes to show how beneficial it is and how much more you’re paying by not doing it. Every city should do it asap.

Yeah it might be easy for municipal electricity to win on price when the bar is set at $0.42/kWh. Out here our evil private company is charging $0.11/kWh. I have serious doubts any municipality anywhere could deliver power for half that.

  Cleveland Public Power rates online are <$0.10/kWh in the summer and <$0.05/kWh in the winter.

  I’m not sure where “out here” is, but $0.11/kWh is not the national low for municipal power costs.
