Dear Mayor Deegan,

Message Body

I am an AARP member and Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) customer, and I’m writing you to ask that you work with the Jacksonville City Council to revisit the decision allowing JEA to move forward with the development of a 675-MW combined cycle gas plant. This project represents a significant and growing cost burden on ratepayers like me.

JEA’s own numbers estimate the plant will cost $2.3 billion over its lifetime. With rising fuel prices and updated construction costs, that number could climb to $4.8 billion, costs that will be passed directly to customers, including many who are on fixed incomes.

There are smarter, more affordable options. We are asking JEA to be accountable and to update their outdated projected numbers and seriously consider more affordable options.

Please use your leadership to urge the City Council to demand that JEA reconsider this project and pursue a path that is more affordable and in the best interest of JEA customers.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
