Left unchallenged, Florida Power & Light will continue their expansion into home services using their established branding and recognition, customer lists, infrastructure and market power to decimate our businesses and dominate our markets.
They are unfairly and unlawfully using ratepayer funded resources from their regulated utility to force their way into new revenue streams and higher profits. Their goal is to leverage their market power, aggressively recruit our employees, use predatory pricing to steal our customers and put us out of business.
FPL has vast resources including lawyers, lobbyists and decades of donations to dependent political pals. To fight them and to get the word out about the impacts on small family owned businesses, local jobs and costs to consumers, we have got to stand together.
As you know FPL is “is engaged in aggressive, predatory and unlawful practices that use ratepayer funds from their regulated utility to protect, grow and enhance their monopoly at the expense of Florida’s consumers and citizens. These practices, if allowed to continue, will be adopted by other Florida utilities and will expand across the state.”
Take a moment and sign this important petition, before it is too late.

Together we will win but we cannot do it without you. We are right but without the funds to tell our story, we will fail. Make an investment in the future of your business and our industry.
Help us fight unfair competition by a ratepayer-funded monopoly.
