STORMS totally the ONLY business that can charge WHATEVER without you having any control when we had Alabama power the rates seemed to be appropriate – AND they offered programs where you have a set rate thru the season-so those of us on social security were able to budget for it – the 1ST month with Florida power my bill went significantly higher – and NOT my problem that it costs you for an electric car-(which I do not have) and the thought I am charged for for some of their usage—-AND they still haven’t buried the power lines and I live in Fl.

In 2022, GP/FPL sent a letter saying if we don’t purchase at least $25.00 of electricity a month, they will charge $25.00 anyway. There have been more underhanded moves in this process that I won’t get into at this time. They’ll get their money by hook or crook. We purchased solar panels back in 2019.

Another greedy company. Armando Pimentel, CEO of FPL received $11,351,157 in total compensation for 2024, of which $1,000,000.00 in salary. however, the rest is in stock options & other equity & bonuses. I gather the increase in rates FPL gets is from our pockets to theirs. I believe they have the PSC in their pockets too. FPL is owned by NextEra Inc. Another greedy company.

Southern Company(Gulf Power) screwed us by selling to this Monopoly. Federal Government is going to have to step in, which shouldn’t have to happen.

FPL cannot tell us what else to do to help the issue as they said we have done everything.. but yet bills are still high.. we shouldn't be paying for the new solar fields.. the replacement of all the poles being put in.. and whatever else.. we shouldn't be making up the difference in lack of funds which is hard to believe is happening to the shareholders since more people are moving here and all these new homes are being built.. go after the developers.. not the consumers Rates were supposed to go down or stabilize after the first 4 years of the increases.. guess they lied then.. we had this company down south and they were awful.. our bills never drop below 300 now since they took over here in NW Florida… we even got new windows, new hvac, changed out to LED lights, new garage door….timers on pool and on water heaters.. the bill went down the first month of the new hvac.. then we tripled when FPL took over.. it sucks..

With energy paybacks of 1 to 4 years and assumed life expectancies of 30 years, 87% to 97% of the energy that PV systems generate won’t be plagued by pollution, green- house gases, and depletion of resources."
