TALLAHASSEE, Florida — A nascent group claiming to represent planned new data centers in the state is objecting to Florida Power & Light’s $2.5 billion rate hike request.
Details: State records show the Florida Energy for Innovation Association was incorporated May 7, just eight days before it asked the Public Service Commission to allow it to intervene in the rate case.
The association said in a motion that the FPL request includes a new rate structure that would charge large customers, including data centers, 65 percent more than existing rates.

The Florida Energy for Innovation Association doesn’t give any details about the new centers it says its members are planning. And FPL objected to allowing the association to intervene.
