We are pleased to announce our January rate will be reduced to $165.00 for the first 1,000 kWh. This is a 13% decrease from November and December rates of $190.15, and less than our October rate of $168.15 for the first 1,000 kWh. You may notice this is even better than the projected 10% decrease mentioned by our CEO Jeff Brewington in his <a href=\"https:\/\/flcurrents-gec-fl.newsmemory.com\/?selDate=20230101&amp;goTo=32&amp;artid=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January Florida Currents column<\/a>. We hope to further reduce rates in April if fuel costs remain stable.<\/p>\n<p>Fuel costs do remain elevated, adding about $15.00 to every 1,000 kWh.
