Florida Elected Officials Oppose FPL Rate Hike
A bipartisan letter signed by 28 elected officials, including Minority Leader Senator Lori Berman, was sent to Governor DeSantis and the Public Service Commission (PSC), urging them to reject Florida Power & Light's (FPL) rate hike request of nearly $10 billion.
The request, which is the largest in the US, would increase electricity bills for 12 million people if approved. Technical hearings for the rate hike began last Monday in Tallahassee, and 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. The officials are calling on DeSantis and the PSC to reject the rate hike, citing the burden it would place on Florida residents.
