JEA Community Advisory Council

At a glance

  • What: a request from the Sierra Club's national Beyond Coal Campaign and the Duval Affordable Clean Energy Coalition (faith, neighborhood, environmental, consumer, labor and public health groups, small businesses and ratepayers) for a JEA Community Advisory Council, so residents have a regular way to review JEA's plans, ask questions and raise concerns.
  • Where it stands: raised in public comment on 2026-10-13, the coalition's first appearance before the council. No bill or council response yet.
  • Their asks: compare the cost, risks and benefits of all available energy options publicly before JEA commits to expensive new infrastructure; explain cost assumptions, alternatives and long-term financial risks in plain language; create the advisory council with a broad cross-section of residents; and seriously evaluate cleaner, affordable energy.
