municipalization
Explanation:
Under pressure from community referenda since 1989, the Toledo City Council is investigating municipalization and other options to escape Toledo Edison's (TE) high electric rates. The city created a $100,000 budget and hired consultants to study the option of establishing a municipal utility to compete with the investor-owned utility. The city signed a short-term five year interim franchise agreement with TE, approved by voters in 1993.

neutral  wdh: Maybe more context is needed. Note that a lot of the sites refer to history, even though the term is easily understandable. As for 's' or 'z', we could debate correctness for years and not agree.
