Florida Elected Officials Oppose FPL Rate Hike
A bipartisan group of 28 elected officials, including Minority Leader Senator Lori Berman, have sent an open letter to Governor DeSantis and the Public Service Commission (PSC) urging them to reject Florida Power & Light's (FPL) rate hike request.
The proposed rate hike of nearly $10 billion would increase electricity bills for 12 million people, making it the largest in the US.
- Technical hearings for FPL's rate hike request began last Monday in Tallahassee.
- The letter will be submitted as evidence to the PSC's official docket.
While already dealing with rising grocery bills, property insurance and auto insurance rates, Floridians can’t afford another large hike to their electricity bill.
The letter was facilitated by the national environmental nonprofit Food & Water Watch.
