Yes public owned electrical utilities seem to be cheapest.
For example advagrid bought Maines public regulatory commission. They doubled, tripled residential power bills then cut the maintenance budget so outages are more frequent and last longer.
New mexico has one of the cheapest electricity rates in the country and the lowest consumer bills in the nation.
That appears to be at story virtually everywhere that goes from public utility to private dance.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
