The Electric
Utility Department began serving retail electric customers on
June 1 of 2005 as the City of Winter Park established its own municipal
electric utility.
In a referendum election of September 9, 2003,
the citizens of Winter Park voted overwhelmingly to exercise the
buy-out option in the city’s franchise agreement with Progress
Energy Florida and to have the city own and operate its own utility.
To facilitate this transition, the city is built
two electric substations and purchased Progress Energy Florida’s
electric distribution facilities within the city. A utility services
contractor has been hired to perform the operations and maintenance
of the electric system. The City has established the customer service,
meter reading, billing, vegetation management and all the policies
and procedures necessary to operate a utility.
The city has committed to its future customers
that it will undertake a strong program to improve the reliability
of electric service. This will include, but not be limited, to putting
significant portion of the power lines underground.
