FLORIDA — Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) announced their plan to add a temporary surcharge to customer bills in 2025 to cover restoration costs following hurricanes in Florida.
FPL asked the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) to approve their petition. The company wants to recover restoration expenses from Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton and to replenish their storm reserve.
If PSC approves the plan, the temporary surcharge would likely add about $12.02 a month to a typical 1,000-kWh residential customer bill from January through December 2025.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
