The district board of supervisors approved power agreement extensions with two major power firms through the end of 2024, during a July 27 meeting.

The two firms, Duke Energy and Florida Municipal Power Agency, represent 90% of the power -- the remaining 10% is generated through solar power -- provided to Reedy Creek Improvement District and all of its customers including Walt Disney World properties, third-party hotel and retailers and residents in the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista.
