OUC PeakShift Plan Changes Power Bills and Solar Credits

5 November, 2026|

If we want to lower electricity costs for OUC customers and Orlando residents in the long term, the faster we can speed up this transition away from fossil fuels which require fuel costs, towards renewables which don't have a fuel cost, is really important to achieve affordability.

Byron Donalds’ plan to lower electric bills could raise them instead, experts say

16 October, 2026|

"What makes electric bills go up is building expensive new power plants and costly capital expenditures such as transmission lines and undergrounding," said Susan Glickman, a longtime Florida clean energy advocate and vice president of policy and partnership at The CLEO Institute, a nonprofit focused on climate change. When it comes to nuclear, "it's a big red flag when Donalds pushes for the most expensive form of power," she added.
