My electric company in AZ at the river is a coop, and is member owned, has been from the beginning. Cheapest Electricity in the Nation, 8 cents a KW. and since the city of Needles, Ca is next door and they have their very own power plant, there about 45 New Buildings setup just for Growing Pot!!!
My California city owns its electric utility. We pay much lower rates than the surrounding cities that are serviced by Edison and we haven’t had any brownouts.
