Florida Public Service Commission to hold
workshop on energy efficiency goal-setting rule
The Florida Public Service Commission will hold a rulemaking workshop on Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. to hear from stakeholders, the public, and the state’s biggest power companies on its draft energy efficiency goal-setting rule. The existing 30-year-old rule has led to underinvestment from utilities in ways to use energy smarter through efficiency, resulting in higher utility bills for Floridians.
“Thousands of comments have been filed by customers demanding that the commission reform its outdated practices,” said George Cavros, Florida Director and Energy Policy Attorney for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. “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.”
WHAT: Florida Public Service Commission workshop on revising its energy efficiency goal-setting rule.
WHEN: Wednesday, November 30, 2022, at 1:00 p.m.
WHERE: Florida Public Service Commission, 4075 Esplanade Way, Rm. 148, Tallahassee, FL, and can also be viewed online at: http://www.psc.state.fl.us/Conferences/AudioVideoEventCoverage
WHO: Customers who will provide personal experiences with high power bills; business, clean energy, faith, and low-income advocates who will voice support for modernizing the state’s energy efficiency goal-setting practices in order to lower customer bills; representatives from the state’s biggest power companies.
