TECO’s New Bill Means Rising Electric Prices. Save Money Now With Solar

Posted on

Here’s a frustrating reality check for Tampa Bay residents: Tampa Electric (TECO) wants to raise your rates…again. We’re talking about a potential increase of up to $19.21 per month starting in 2025, and that’s just the beginning. The proposed hike includes a significant bump in the fixed customer charge, plus additional costs for fuel, nuclear recovery, and more.

If you’re like most people, your budget is already feeling the pinch of inflation. The last thing you need is another bill going up. But before you resign yourself to higher electricity costs, consider this: there’s a way to fight back. The answer is solar energy.

Solar Energy Is Your Shield Against Rising Rates

Solar energy isn’t just about being eco-friendly; it’s about taking control of your energy costs. By installing solar panels on your home, you can generate your own electricity and significantly reduce your reliance on TECO. That means when their rates go up, yours stay the same. There are so many other benefits of going solar, too.

  • Predictable Energy Costs.Say goodbye to the uncertainty of fluctuating energy prices. With solar, you lock in a fixed rate for your electricity, protecting you from future TECO hikes.
  • Long-Term Savings.While there’s an upfront investment in solar panels, the long-term savings are substantial. You’ll save money on your monthly bills, and your system will likely pay for itself over time.
  • Increased Home Value.Studies show that homes with solar panels sell faster and for more money than those without. It’s an investment that benefits you now and in the future.
  • Environmental Impact.Solar energy is clean and renewable, reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to a healthier planet.
