About JEA
JEA is located in Jacksonville, Florida, where we proudly serve an estimated 524,378 electric, 399,007 water, 318,860 sewer and 28,240 reuse water customers.
Northeast Florida’s Community Utility
JEA is not owned by investors. It was created by the City of Jacksonville as a municipal utility to serve those who live here and in the surrounding communities. The sole purpose of our business is to ensure the electric, water and sewer demands of our customers are met, both today and for generations to come. Our goal is to provide reliable services at the best value to our customers while ensuring our area's precious natural resources are protected.
Approximately half of JEA’s electric revenues come from its residential customers, the other half from our 50,000 commercial and industrial customers. The commercial and industrial market segments also account for about one-third of the water and wastewater
revenue.
Further details can be found by reading: Jacksonville City Charter, Article 21.
As a community-based municipal utility, we’re not subject to the same state regulations as investor-owned utilities. We are, however, regulated in certain areas of environmental and health matters, power plant location, electric safety and electric rate structure matters.
JEA Board and Senior Management
Our governing body is made up of a seven-member board of directors appointed by Jacksonville's mayor and City Council. Our board appoints a managing director and CEO, who then selects our leadership team.
Electric System
JEA owns and operates an Electric System with four generating plants, and all transmission and distribution facilities, including 744 circuit miles of transmission lines and 7,408 miles of distribution lines.
We maintain a District Energy System comprising three chilled water plants that support a total capacity of 19,900 tons.
JEA also purchases energy from eight solar photovoltaic sites located across our service territory. We will continue to increase our investment in renewable energy sources as part of our electric Integrated Resource Plan, a long-term plan to ensure the sustainability of our grid and to support our community's continued growth for years to come.
Water and Sewer Systems
JEA’s Water System consists of 139 artesian wells that tap into the Floridan aquifer. Water is distributed through 39 water treatment plants and 5,154 miles of water lines.
Our Sewer System comprises a four-county network of 4,425 miles of collection lines and 1,636 pump stations and includes 11 wastewater treatment facilities.
JEA is committed to improving the water quality of the St. Johns River. Our Reclaimed Water System supplies highly-treated water for irrigation. It reduces the amount of nitrogen released to the river because the treatment-enhanced wastewater isn’t put back into the river. Using reclaimed water for irrigation also reduces the demand on the potable water supply taken from the Floridan aquifer. JEA uses 603 miles of reclaimed water lines to distribute reclaimed water to some 28,240 reclaimed water customers.
