FL Electeds Urge DeSantis to Reject FPL Rate Hike
A bipartisan letter was submitted to Governor DeSantis and the Public Service Commission (PSC) by 28 elected officials, including Minority Leader Senator Lori Berman, opposing Florida Power & Light's (FPL) rate hike request of nearly $10 billion.
The request, if approved, would increase electricity bills for 12 million people. Technical hearings for FPL's rate hike request began last Monday in Tallahassee.
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, facilitated by Food & Water Watch, will be submitted as evidence to the PSC's official docket. The elected officials urge DeSantis and the PSC to reject the rate hike request.
