The city shall have the power and authority to contract with any person, including other municipalities, to sell electric current for light, heat, power or other purposes beyond the corporate limits of the city when it is beneficial to the city to do so. For furnishing the electric service outside the corporate limits to other municipalities, other public service companies or government authorities for purposes of resale, the rates shall be set by the city; provided that, the contract rate made in such cases shall be uniform insofar as it affects the users of equal amounts of current under the contracts under similar circumstances.
