With natural gas costing more than expected, Florida Power & Light customers will see increases in their monthly bills starting in May.
The state Public Service Commission on Thursday approved a request by FPL to collect $302.5 million from customers to cover additional costs of fuel for power plants.
Also Thursday, the commission approved a pilot program that will involve Tampa Electric Co. installing about 200 charging ports for electric vehicles.
Fuel costs make up a major part of customers’ monthly bills, and utilities are supposed to pass through those costs without profiting.
