FPL previews 6% rate rise, Cloud Lake presses for undergrounding and faster streetlight repairs
Summary
FPL Customer Advisor Rudy Toledo reported a projected 6% increase for 2025 and an annual account total of about $2,215; Cloud Lake officials reiterated goals to underground utilities, pursue septic‑to‑sewer conversion, and expressed dissatisfaction with a 40‑day streetlight repair timeframe.
FPL Customer Advisor Rudy Toledo met with Mayor Russ Nidy and the town clerk and provided Cloud Lake's 2023–24 account history and a projected 6% increase for 2025; the minutes record a current annual total of roughly $2,215. Toledo told council that FPL will ask the Florida Public Service Commission for a rate increase in mid‑2025.
Council members listed priorities for FPL including converting overhead utilities to underground, pursuing septic‑to‑sewer conversions, and addressing delays in streetlight outage repairs (a 40‑day repair timeframe was noted as unsatisfactory). Toledo indicated uncertainty about when AT&T and Comcast lines or old poles would be removed to allow full undergrounding of lateral and feeder lines.
