The “subsidies” the power companies were talking about is the grant money and incentives to install solar panels from the state of Florida.
The power companies are forced to fund those programs.
The power companies are also forced to pay for access electricity generated by it’s customers via solar.
But only at a wholesale rate, not the retail rate you pay them.

The statements made are very true if you follow the money. The downside to this is that the power companies will all go to the PSC to change how they buy excess power from people and many other measures. They stand to win since they have so much political money set in lobbyist who do nothing but make sure the State political leaders do as they need done. The PSC is all political so money drives it. It is a great win but now we sit back and see what the cost of the win will be.

Glad all of these posters could see through the power monopoly lies! Now about the murder of Jake Horton and several other retired power executives, too bad we can’t see the great articles the Atlanta Constitution ran about how the Southern Mafia has used their power to manipulate politics and commit crimes.

The power companies used a lot of word play. Subsidy, in their terms. is buying power back from those who have solar to spare at the same price they sell it for cutting in to their profit.

And now the power companies will ask the PSC to let them collect the $26 million they spent on this scam from their customers.

I completely agree with Kate which is why I voted NO on this amendment. It read nice but all of the action behind the scenes were troublesome.

Thank God some had reason in their minds this election cycle. When power companies are spending that much of the money we pay them for power, you know something is fishy and very costly to your pocket.
