New Smyrna Beach Utilities
For over 50 years, New Smyrna Beach Utilities (NSBU) has proudly provided the greater New Smyrna Beach area with quality utility services. Today, NSBU offers electric, water, wastewater, and reclaimed water services to approximately 31,000 residential and commercial customers.
Most municipalities in Florida provide their own water and wastewater service, but our community is special because NSBU is just one of the 34 municipal electric utilities in the state - exclusively committed to serving our customers, not investors. NSBU is funded solely through utility revenues and is not a taxing authority. Municipal utilities are consumer-owned and not-for-profit, so providing affordable, safe, and reliable power is our first priority.
Together, NSBU and the other community-owned utilities serve 3 million Floridians and are collectively the third largest source of power in the state. Because we are community-owned and locally managed, we focus on serving local needs, through low rates, good paying jobs, and contributions to the city budget. Revenue is not distributed to stockholders; instead, it is reinvested back into the community to fulfill our Vision: "To be a community partner with safety as the priority while providing reliable essential utility services dedicated to sustainable resources and community stewardship."
Our Mission
Our mission, as a vital community partner to greater New Smyrna Beach, is to operate and maintain infrastructure that provides essential, reliable utility services. We strive to maintain and build upon the confidence that we earn as a trusted water resources and energy advisor by providing sustainable, conservation focused utilities. We are characterized by community stewardship including volunteering and charitable giving and will operate with a strong focus on pride in our community.
