Administrative and legal costs don’t disappear when the city runs it, so why does it matter? When the city runs a utility, nearly all of the costs associated with running a utility still exist.
If your mental model of a city-owned utility is that they’re going to generate power and sell it at cost with no administrative overhead, you’re really just assuming that administrative overhead will be covered by taxpayers.
Electricity rates down, tax rates up.

Texas produces the most crude oil, natural gas, and also wind generated electricity. A quarter of the entire country’s wind energy generation happens in Texas.
Comparing electricity prices across regions is meaningless. Everything is too different.
