As we head into fall, AARP Florida remains deeply engaged in protecting the interests of older Floridians, especially when it comes to the rising cost of utilities. Over the past year, our team has been at the forefront of the Florida Power & Light (FPL) rate case, advocating for transparency, fairness, and affordability in the face of unprecedented proposed rate hikes. This builds on our longstanding efforts to oppose similar rate increase proposals from Duke Energy and TECO, the other electric utility companies regulated by the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC), where we fought to protect consumers from unjustified utility costs.
AARP Florida is expressing strong concerns about Florida Power & Light’s (FPL) newly filed settlement agreement, noting that it prioritizes corporate and business interests over the needs of residential customers.
