“States in the Southeast continue to have some of the highest electricity bills in the country. An unacceptable combination of low incomes, a general lack of investment in energy efficiency, the prevalence of the need for electricity to provide both heating and cooling, and monopolistic utilities that are insulated from customer pressure have led states in the region to consistently appear among the worst in terms of energy burden (energy costs as a portion of household income).”
Florida positioning itself as the Southeast’s solar leader
“Florida's a bigger state, bigger population, bigger utilities. They were late to the game, but they have been coming on strong lately once the economics shifted to where solar's the least-cost resource, that's what we would attribute Florida overtaking North Carolina to.”

With 18 GW solar, Southeast U.S. nears U.S. average solar generation
“This is where planning is so important. Some utilities are planning to build peaking gas plants and use assumptions around that, or are pursuing small modular reactors. Once early investments are made in such technologies, it's really hard to claw some of those decisions back.”
