I don’t think the power is that expensive down here compared to up north. I think 13 cents a KW hour is kind of a bargain. I guess the rates must be higher in different parts of Florida. I built a 3000 watt off grid solar system that powers a good part of my dethatched workshop. It feels real good to go in there and leave all the lights on and work with out running up the bill. I guess everyone has a different story but I myself have been looking to make my house more efficient over time. Over the last two years I installed a few ductless mini splits in the house that cool just one room. Runs for 80% less than the main AC unit. I can actually leave my bedroom door open and the cold air runs around half the house and saves the big 4000 watt central AC from firing up. All my lights are LED and the biggest thing that happened is the kids grew up and left. lol. That is about the best energy saving thing you can do.

Why should we wait until April for a letter to be drafted on the rates that FPL are charging. It should be drafted now. They need to explain why we should pay for their purchase of Gulf Power. There was no reason that they couldn’t adopt the same rate per kilowatt hour that Gulf power was using. Instead they gaslighted us and said we are paying the highest rates in Florida. We certainly are now!!! DISGUSTING is all I can say.

… except FPL essentially owns DeSantis (check the campaign contributions), so good luck getting anything out of him or them– its always about the money!

If the county would pay my legal fees I could afford my bill to double.

FPL is going to do what it wants, and it really doesn’t matter what any country or city government says.
They’ve been planning this for years.

Pretty good monopoly FPL has going on. Where else can you go to for power? NO WHERE!! And they know it.

The frig running in a vacant house ran the bill up to $300 since FPL took over.

My electric bill went up from $300’s to over $600 a month, we’re not even into hot weather yet!! It’s only myself and one child on a fixed income and I called FPL to check it out, they promised to start an investigation within three business days! Still waiting for that! Obviously there’s something majorly wrong going on! I hope it gets resolved…!
