TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) invites customers of Florida Public Utilities Company (FPUC) to participate in customer service hearings on Tuesday, September 20, and Wednesday, September 21. The PSC recognizes the Florida Division of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation, Florida Public Utilities Company – Fort Meade, and Florida Public Utilities Company – Indiantown as corporate identities operating under Florida Public Utilities Company (FPUC). 

In May, FPUC filed a petition with the PSC to increase its base rates and consolidate the four natural gas utilities listed above into one utility under the FPUC name. FPUC is a gas and electric utility that provides service to approximately 91,000 Florida customers in the following counties: Nassau, Palm Beach, Broward, Escambia, Martin, Polk, Okeechobee, Marion, Hillsborough, Highlands, Gilchrist, Alachua, and Holmes. 

Service hearings allow the utility's customers to provide public comments on its rate request and its quality of service. The Commission will consider customer input when reviewing the utility's request. 

FPUC customers wanting to speak before the Commission may register by: using the online registration form, which will be available on the PSC's website under the Hot Topics section on the home page; calling the PSC at 1-850-413-7080; emailing the PSC at speaker-signup@psc.state.fl.us; or signing up when you arrive at the venue.
