Panhandle of Florida pede here.. we are getting absolutely railed by a company based out of Juno Beach, FL. They took over what used to be Gulf Power and now everyone’s power bills have gone up 100-200%. I am in a couple of Facebook groups where locals are taking action. I’d love to get some help figuring out if this is some deep state operation trying to sabotage our great state or if this is just horrible policy. Our local state reps are silent on the issue and we haven’t heard a peep from Gaetz or DeSantis. My bill went from $90 in November, $136 in December, now $233 in January. Projected bill for next period is $389 Make it make sense! Fuck FP&L, fuck all of the cuckservatives around us that allowed this to happen. They’re messing with the state and specifically the wrong region of the state.

The Florida PSC (Public Service Commission) regulates telecommunications, electrical, gas, water and transport companies. The rates are in large books called "tariffs" that are supposed to be open to the public. When a company raises their rates, or changes anything in the tariff, they have to present the changes to the PSC for approval. The telephone tariffs I worked with were at least 1 ft thick for each state, then we had the federal (FCC) ones.
I once got into it with Ala Power, and asked for a copy of their tariff. The lady didn't want to send it to me, it was SO BIG and SO COMPLICATED. I assured her I knew how to read tariffs. When it finally came, it was about 1/2 inch thick and no where near as complicated as the file room full of ones I worked with every day. I laughed.
Tell them you want a copy of the tariff, even if you have to pick it up in person. Then compare the rates to your bill.
