Posted on 01/10/25 by AARP Florida

In December 2024, Florida Power & Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.

 What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:

• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.

 Why Your Voice Matters?

As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases. The rate case process is an opportunity for you to voice your concerns at public hearings, through online petitions, or by submitting public comments to the PSC directly. Details on how to get involved will be coming soon!<br><br><b><u>In The News</u></b><br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://weartv.com/news/local/fpl-general-manager-explains-breaks-down-new-rate-increase-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FPL general manager explains reasoning for new rate increase proposal</a></span></span>, WEAR News Pensacola, Sarah Gail, Jan. 2, 2025<br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/columns/2025/01/04/florida-fpl-electric-utilities-price-consumer-advocate-gentry/77400720007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">He helped Florida Power & Light hike rates.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases. The rate case process is an opportunity for you to voice your concerns at public hearings, through online petitions, or by submitting public comments to the PSC directly. Details on how to get involved will be coming soon!<br><br><b><u>In The News</u></b><br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://weartv.com/news/local/fpl-general-manager-explains-breaks-down-new-rate-increase-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FPL general manager explains reasoning for new rate increase proposal</a></span></span>, WEAR News Pensacola, Sarah Gail, Jan. 2, 2025<br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/columns/2025/01/04/florida-fpl-electric-utilities-price-consumer-advocate-gentry/77400720007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">He helped Florida Power & Light hike rates.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases. The rate case process is an opportunity for you to voice your concerns at public hearings, through online petitions, or by submitting public comments to the PSC directly. Details on how to get involved will be coming soon!<br><br><b><u>In The News</u></b><br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://weartv.com/news/local/fpl-general-manager-explains-breaks-down-new-rate-increase-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FPL general manager explains reasoning for new rate increase proposal</a></span></span>, WEAR News Pensacola, Sarah Gail, Jan. 2, 2025<br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/columns/2025/01/04/florida-fpl-electric-utilities-price-consumer-advocate-gentry/77400720007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">He helped Florida Power & Light hike rates.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases. The rate case process is an opportunity for you to voice your concerns at public hearings, through online petitions, or by submitting public comments to the PSC directly. Details on how to get involved will be coming soon!<br><br><b><u>In The News</u></b><br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://weartv.com/news/local/fpl-general-manager-explains-breaks-down-new-rate-increase-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FPL general manager explains reasoning for new rate increase proposal</a></span></span>, WEAR News Pensacola, Sarah Gail, Jan. 2, 2025<br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/columns/2025/01/04/florida-fpl-electric-utilities-price-consumer-advocate-gentry/77400720007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">He helped Florida Power & Light hike rates.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases. The rate case process is an opportunity for you to voice your concerns at public hearings, through online petitions, or by submitting public comments to the PSC directly. Details on how to get involved will be coming soon!<br><br><b><u>In The News</u></b><br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://weartv.com/news/local/fpl-general-manager-explains-breaks-down-new-rate-increase-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FPL general manager explains reasoning for new rate increase proposal</a></span></span>, WEAR News Pensacola, Sarah Gail, Jan. 2, 2025<br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/columns/2025/01/04/florida-fpl-electric-utilities-price-consumer-advocate-gentry/77400720007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">He helped Florida Power & Light hike rates.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases. The rate case process is an opportunity for you to voice your concerns at public hearings, through online petitions, or by submitting public comments to the PSC directly.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases. The rate case process is an opportunity for you to voice your concerns at public hearings, through online petitions, or by submitting public comments to the PSC directly.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases. The rate case process is an opportunity for you to voice your concerns at public hearings, through online petitions, or by submitting public comments to the PSC directly. Details on how to get involved will be coming soon!<br><br><b><u>In The News</u></b><br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://weartv.com/news/local/fpl-general-manager-explains-breaks-down-new-rate-increase-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FPL general manager explains reasoning for new rate increase proposal</a></span></span>, WEAR News Pensacola, Sarah Gail, Jan. 2, 2025<br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/columns/2025/01/04/florida-fpl-electric-utilities-price-consumer-advocate-gentry/77400720007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">He helped Florida Power & Light hike rates.

        </div><p>In December 2024, Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) of its plan to file a formal request to set new rates once its current base rate agreement concludes at the end of 2025. The formal request is expected to be filed on or around February 28, 2025. As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers, with a particular focus on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. We will keep consumers updated throughout this process.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>What’s Coming Next? 2025 Rate Case:</b><br><br>• FPL will request a rate increase that would take effect January 2026. More details will be available once FPL files its proposal with the PSC. This will be an additional change to monthly bills.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Why Your Voice Matters?</b><br><br>As your advocate, AARP Florida is committed to ensuring fair and reasonable rates for FPL customers. During this process, AARP Florida focuses on protecting older adults on fixed incomes from excessive financial strain. It is critical for customers like you to stay engaged and informed.<br><br>&nbsp;<b>Here’s how you can help:</b><br><br>• Stay Informed: Monitor updates about upcoming changes to your bill.<br><br>• Spread the Word: Encourage your friends and family to stay informed and get involved.<br><br>• Join AARP’s Advocacy Efforts: AARP Florida is working to protect customers from excessive rate increases. The rate case process is an opportunity for you to voice your concerns at public hearings, through online petitions, or by submitting public comments to the PSC directly. Details on how to get involved will be coming soon!<br><br><b><u>In The News</u></b><br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://weartv.com/news/local/fpl-general-manager-explains-breaks-down-new-rate-increase-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FPL general manager explains reasoning for new rate increase proposal</a></span></span>, WEAR News Pensacola, Sarah Gail, Jan. 2, 2025<br><br><span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/columns/2025/01/04/florida-fpl-electric-utilities-price-consumer-advocate-gentry/77400720007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">He helped Florida Power & Light hike rates.
