Impact analysis
Municipalizing the power grid could require massive upfront investments and debt, but proponents argue it will lower utility bills and save tax dollars over the long haul.
Local residents and businesses looking for cheaper, more reliable, and greener energy stand to gain the most from this shift.
The current investor-owned utility provider faces the loss of a major municipal customer base and revenue stream.
