On August, 11, 2008, Tampa Electric formally filed its request for a base rate increase with the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC), the first such request made by the company in 16 years. The proposed new rates will reflect the cost of investments the company has made to add environmentally responsible power generation and meet new reliability standards, as well as increased costs of commodities essential to the production and delivery of electricity. If approved by the FPSC, the bill for a Tampa Electric residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month would increase by about 7.5 percent, starting in May 2009.
