This is something that our present commission has touched upon. We need to look into renewable energy alternatives. Commissioner Jennings is a big advocate for this. Although solar is costly, there are some incentive programs through the State and Federal governments. It is feasible that you could get anywhere from 60 to 90% of your initial costs reimbursed.
Lake Worth Utilities is too expensive. We have our own power plant and charge more than a public company. Why? I hate to keep harping on management but that is what I look at first when costs are much higher than they should be.
The Commission took the first step by making the correct decision to exit FMPA but that will take five years. In the meantime, FMPA is trying to commit us into paying for two nuclear plants in Levy County and their general counsel threated us with high electric costs. I guess he didn't realize that they are too high already.
Let's start talking and learning more about solar.
