City Electric System provides an essential service at reasonable rates, designed to meet the special needs of our community. Public power systems like City Electric System are non-profit. Our only mission is to provide you with reliable electric service at reasonable rates. All the benefits of our locally-controlled electric utility remain here in the community. A Utility Board elected by the people of Key West decides how to operate City Electric System.
Local control gives everyone a say in how our utility can best meet community needs.
Community ownership of electric service is local people working together to meet local needs, such as energy conservation, environmental concerns, economic development and other services of local government.
