Welcome to

Florida Power and Light customers will see their bills increase by about 71 cents per month for the next year. The company got the go ahead from a unanimous Public Service Commission today to purchase power from an expanded Waste to Energy plant in�Palm Beach�County. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County will construct and operate the waste-to-energy (WTE) facility that will add electrical generating capacity to power about 21,000 homes through the combustion of municipal solid waste. �No one appeared to oppose the plant and FP&L declined comment after the vote, but PSC Commissioners praised the deal.

�This project will increase, by 38%, FPL�s renewable portfolio and provide, what�s listed in the information, about 575 thousand megawatt hours or renewable energy” says PSC Commissioner Eduardo Balbis.

FP&L customers will see the first renewable energy from the plant in 2015.
