“Thousands of comments have been filed by customers demanding that the commission reform its outdated practices. Despite mounting public criticism, the commission's most recent draft rule would cement the status quo and further burden hard-working Floridians with higher power bills. This workshop is the perfect arena for Florida families to make their voices heard.”
“MLGW's decision on its future power supply is one of the most consequential single decisions that any community has made in the history of SACE's work throughout the Southeast region over the past three decades”
“Utility investment in energy efficiency can help get customers off of the high bill treadmill in two ways. First, energy efficiency helps reduce customer power demand, which leads to less fossil gas burned to generate electricity — lowering bills for all customers. Secondly, energy efficiency programs help customers reduce energy use and save money on bills — this is particularly critical to energy-burdened customers.”
“Georgia Power's spending plan fails to increase renewable energy options like rooftop solar”
Duke Energy's carbon plan for North Carolina is under regulatory scrutiny for allegedly underestimating solar and battery storage potential while proposing 2 gigawatts of new gas plants. Critics including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, NCSEA,…
Pinellas County residents are invited to join the Pinellas 2022 Solar Co-op, a free program hosted by Solar United Neighbors to help residents and small businesses install solar panels at competitive prices. The co-op is partnered…

Electric vehicle market share in the Southeast (Florida, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee) doubled from 2.5% in July 2021 to 5% in July 2022, according to the Transportation Electrification in the Southeast report.…
“These funds are a game changer. Florida has spent $27 million of public funds on charging stations. The NEVI (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) program will provide 198 million to the state over five years. That's a [sevenfold] increase”
The Pinellas 2022 Solar Co-op, hosted by Solar United Neighbors, has launched to help Pinellas County residents and small businesses access solar energy at competitive prices. The co-op is free to join and will host monthly…
“Florida has, since the beginning really, been a leader in electric transportation adoption in the Southeast. We're actually No. 2 in the nation if you look at the raw numbers of electric vehicles, which some people are surprised by. But if you look at the number of electric vehicles per capita, Florida is below the national average. So I think we have a lot of room to continue growing.”
“MLGW's decision on its future power supply is one of the most consequential single decisions that any community has made in the history of SACE's (Southern Alliance for Clean Energy) work throughout the Southeast region over the past three decades. Billions of dollars, millions of tons of pollution, and most importantly hundreds of thousands of individuals' quality of life are on the line with this decision”
“The Commission's disappointing business-as-usual approach allows power companies to ignore lowest-cost resources like energy efficiency to meet demand. It does little to nothing to help hard-working families, and perpetuates Florida's history of unaffordable and escalating power bills.”
“MLGW's decision on its future power supply is one of the most consequential single decisions that any community has made in the history of SACE's work throughout the Southeast region over the past three decades. Billions of dollars, millions of tons of pollution, and most importantly hundreds of thousands of individuals' quality of life are on the line with this decision”
