Citizens of the State of Florida v. Florida Public Service Commission, Appellees

Summary

The Court affirmed the Commission’s approval of a non-unanimous settlement resolving FPL’s rate-increase proceeding over Citizens’ objection. It held that the Commission had statutory authority to approve the settlement, provided Citizens with reasonable notice and a fair opportunity to participate, and supported its decision with competent, substantial evidence. The Court also upheld the settlement provisions concerning generation-base revenue adjustments and related rate mechanisms. Justice Quince concurred in the result only.
