electric utilities

Florida solar installers are scrambling for panels amid a nationwide market slowdown, and some are turning to older, less efficient models to get the job done.

Environmental groups that fought for the 2015 coal ash regulations were pleased to see the Biden administration begin to enforce them and expected to get involved in the lawsuit.

Sen. Jennifer Bradley of Fleming Island sponsored the bill, which she said provides more fairness than making all utility customers pay for solar users.

Bill sponsor Sen. Jennifer Bradley, R-Orange Park, says it doesn’t make sense that utilities are required to purchase the extra energy at the full retail rate.

A recent analysis indicated it’s no coincidence the Southeast has among the highest electricity bills in the country, and the lowest investment in energy efficiency.

Florida has a lot of electric cars — the second-highest number in the nation — and for drivers on long trips or a stressful hurricane evacuation there is always one big question: Where is the next charging station?

Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the state's top medical officer, upset legislators from both parties after refusing to wear a mask when speaking to a state senator with breast cancer and state regulators approve FPL rate increase.

It's an effort to boost solar energy and continue shifting away from using coal to fuel power plants.

Environmentalists say a new law stops local governments from fully transitioning to clean energy. It voids local rules that limit what fuels utilities can use.

It calls for a $1.1 billion increase in base-rate revenues in 2022 and a $607 million increase in 2023

FPL said it will provide bill credits of up to $200 to some residential and small-business customers.

With lights out in many offices and millions of people plugging in at home, residential power bills are soaring, even as overall electricity consumption slumps during the recession.
