The prices are ridiculous and unsustainable, start charging these companies with all the large warehouses being built around the city more, not your local residents.

Please get your expenses/rates under control. Its getting to be where we need to pick which bill we're paying this month.

a 72% increase in Feb this year from 2025 and a 33% increase from 2024 to 2025 is not sustainable for FL residents.

I shouldn’t have to wonder if I am going to be able to keep the food we struggle to afford safe to eat because of these unnecessary hikes. Rent and electric have reached an alarming rate without a good reason.

An electric bill should not cost half of the mortgage payment.

No matter the justification for the year's price increases, Teco uses their monopolistic position to raise it beyond breaking even, for 18 months of price increase they will make profits off storms and disasters, while we are froced to pay for it. Not fair for the population. We demand affordable rates.

All these increases started when Teco was bought by the present Candian company. My electric bill is ridiculously high.
