I live in a small town on the ocean in S Florida. Our little town (30,000)has its its own utilty which has been run into the ground by idiots and deferred maintenance. Currently the system has 3 segments, 1 is 26kv, another is 13.5 kv and the remainder is 4 kv. A consultant brought in by the city wants to upgrade all to 26 kv. From my research I have found out that only 2 other cities in Florida (Key West and Jacksonville) exclusively use this voltage. I have no knowledge of high voltage distribution but it stands to reason that it is not the standard in Florida. Basically I would like some opinions on whether this is a good idea or will the 35 million in taxpayer (bond) money bring us a problem (oddball) system. Thanks in advance for your time.
