TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) is conducting a hearing today on Progress Energy Florida’s (Progress) request for a rate increase.
The hearing allows Progress and the intervenors to present sworn testimony and exhibits in support of their positions.
In July, the PSC conducted nine customer service hearings in Progress’ service area. An additional customer service hearing will be held at the beginning of the rate hearing in Tallahassee.
In March, Progress filed a petition with the PSC for a permanent base rate increase. Progress provides electric service to more than 1.6 million customers in 35 Florida counties. The utility was last granted a general base rate increase in 1993.
The hearing could last up to 10 days.
