Funny how he’s stepping down after south Florida papers reported that under his tenure FPL has been tied to surveillance of journalists critical of FPL and to using dark money to fund campaigns of politicians and media companies who publicly state FPL is wonderful. Even FPL’s parent company, NextEra, is investigating. Of course, FPL says his retirement is just coincidence.

There needs to be an in depth investigation by the Public Service Commission into the thievery you and your cronies are doing at fpl. It is a crime against humanity for the uncalled rates you are dishing out to the Florida citizens, especially the senior citizens on fixed incomes. We don’t get pay raises like you do….so “MAKE IT AFFORDABLE” for those on fixed incomes!!!!!

So what? Hopefully the request for rate increase is denied- it’s already unaffordable and it’s rediculous!!!

he finally ripped off enough of us that he can retire with a huge bonus…Now we will have another guy come in and rip us off even worse to pad his bank account…No honor among thieves…

“Over the last decade, we have transformed FPL’s generation fleet into one of the cleanest, most reliable and lowest-cost portfolios in the country…”

I disagree sir. What you have done is transform a fleet to one that is 70% reliant on Natural Gas. If it wasn’t for the 4 nuclear units, the last of which came on line in 1983, that number would be over 90%. 50 year old Turkey Point has to be nearing retirement and St Lucie will be a decade behind it with no plans for replacements on the table. All coal fired plants are either being refired with NG or closed down, which will raise the generation with NG to 75%.

What all this means is, every time the price of NG rises, all of our rates are going to rise as well because fuel cost are passed along to the customer. But hey, enjoy the retirement.

Poor Mr. Silagy.
Hopefully fpl can get another rate increase to make his retirement affordable.

He’s getting out before the public comes for his head. FPL has ripped off the residents of Florida for years and it’s only getting worse. Their latest request for a rate increase needs to be denied. Power is already so expensive that a lot of people can’t afford it. It’s nothing more than legal theft.
