Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC)
Florida Public Service Commission Regulates Florida’s investor-owned utilities to ensure safe, reliable, and fairly priced services. It plays a key role in reviewing and approving energy rates for utilities operating in the state. Florida’s climate means households rely heavily on electricity for cooling, which can increase monthly energy costs and financial stress.
