UWF STUDENT STUDIES BRAIN SIGNALS IN INDIVIDUALS WITH
ADHD AND AUTISM
A UWF Usha Kundu, MD College of Health student is taking a look at how people with autism or ADHD process sensory information compared to neurotypical people, or individuals without ADHD or autism, to get a better understanding of their sensitivities to stimuli.
“Some people with ADHD or Autism tend to experience sensory issues where they might be very overwhelmed or sensitive to things like lights, sounds, or tactile feelings,” said Elizabeth Black, a psychology major in her senior year. “They have low thresholds for sensory information and only need a little bit for it to make them feel anxious. Other people in these groups may be under-responsive to sensory information. This might be a person where you feel like you need to call their name five times before they register it. They have a high threshold for sensory information and need a little bit extra input for it to reach their awareness.”
Working with Dr. Vanessa Rainey, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology, Black is using an electroenceph -

NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION AWARDS OVER $30,000 TO NONPROFITS ACROSS NORTHWEST FLORIDA
It’s the season of giving, and Navy Federal Credit Union is celebrating its 17th year of the Dollars for Doers Program, which awards 100 grants at $1,000 each to qualified nonprofit organizations where employees volunteer their time. The program has surpassed over $1.7 million in total impact since its inception. This year, 33 nonprofits across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties received grants through the program, providing $33,000 in philanthropic impact to Northwest Florida.
“Our team members are extremely committed to living our core value of championing community,” said Kim Aderholdt, VP, Greater Pensacola Operations at Navy Federal. “More than two dozen nonprofits in our area benefited from the Dollars for Doers program this year, which speaks to how devoted our employees are to fostering community connections and prospering important causes.”
Community Service Champion Elizabeth Haymans was selected for a grant this year in honor of her volunteer work with the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation for Excellence. As a longtime leader for Navy Federal’s School Partnerships Program, Haymans manages the credit union’s Take Stock in Children partnership, which pairs students with Navy Federal mentors who help them develop soft skills for early careers.
“Dollars for Doers allows us to lean into the credit union’s philosophy of people helping people,” said Haymans, Project Manager at Navy Federal. “We’re putting an investment back into our children, schools and communities through these programs and donations of time, treasure and talent.”
In addition to the Dollars for Doers program, Navy Federal empowers its employees to serve their communities through 8 hours of paid volunteer leave annually. In 2023, more than 4,500 team members serving at the credit union’s Pensacola Campus donated nearly 30,000 volunteer hours to their community through this employer benefit.
Tune in to our latest episode on Navy Federal’s MakingCents Podcast to hear more grant recipients share the impact Dollars for Doers has on their communities.
Here is a full list of nonprofits that were awarded in both Escambia & Santa Rosa counties:
• Pensacola Beach Songwriter’s Festival
• ReadyKids!
alogram, or EEG, which records the brain’s signals. In the study, participants wear an EEG cap, watch a screen with shapes and press a button when a triangle pops up on the screen and try to resist the urge to press the button when a different shape pops up on the screen. This elicits a brain response. Black analyzes the results and studies the peak of the brain signal wave called the amplitude. A higher peak on the wave usually means that the brain has a stronger reaction and vice-versa.
Black says it is currently not clear from the literature if differences are very early on in cognitive processing where we are just receiving sensory information or at a later point in time when we start to interpret and act on sensory information.
“If we understand this better, maybe future research can target interventions,” Black said.

"KEEP THE WREATH GREEN" KICKS OFF IN ESCAMBIA
The Pensacola Fire Department, in collaboration with Escambia County Fire Rescue, has launched its annual “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign which began Sunday, Dec. 1. While a joyous time of year, cold weather, holiday decorations and festivities can create serious fire dangers. Firefighters hope to reduce the number of fires by promoting simple, life-saving holiday safety tips each day in December.
During the month-long campaign, fivefoot wreaths will be on display at five city fire stations and 21 county fire stations, as well as Escambia County's Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building downtown, the Escambia County Public Safety Building and Pensacola City Hall. Each time firefighters respond to a residential or commercial structure fire with damage, a green light bulb will be replaced with a red one to remind citizens of the dangers posed by fires in residential homes. In 2022, 16 bulbs were changed to red on county wreaths, while one bulb was changed in the city.
“Keep the Wreath Green is a great initiative that literally brings to light the importance of fire safety at home," said Escambia County Fire Chief Adam Harrison. "Any time there is a fire where someone is displaced, you will notice a red bulb on that wreath. I want to encourage every resident to do their part in making sure that we keep our wreaths green this holiday season.”
COUNTY
According to the National Fire Protection Association, electrical distribution or lighting equipment was involved in more than two of every five (44%) of home Christmas tree fires. Two of every five (39%) home Christmas tree fires started in the living room. One of every five (21%) decoration fires were started in the kitchen.
Almost three of every five (57%) December home decoration fires were started by candles, compared to one of every three (32%) from January to November. The top three days for home candle fires are Christmas, New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve.
According to the United States Fire Administration, fires occurring during the winter claim the lives of over 900 people and cause over $2.1 billion in damage. Nationally, cooking is the leading cause of home winter fires, with 5-8 p.m. being the most common time for a fire to occur. Additionally, practice space heater safety and know the potential risks associated with home heating equipment.
For information about obtaining a home smoke detector, call Pensacola Fire Department at 850-436-5200 or Escambia County Fire Rescue at 850-595-HERO (4376) for Escambia County residents.

FILL THE MAYFLOWER
2024
FOOD DRIVE RAISES MORE THAN 40,000
HEALTHY MEALS FOR NEIGHBORS IN NEED!
The 17th Annual Fill the Mayflower food and funds drive – presented by Coastal Moving and Storage and benefitting Manna Food Bank – was a success, raising the equivalent of more than 40,000 healthy meals for neighbors in need in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties! Food collected during Fill the Mayflower at Cordova Mall will be distributed through Manna’s pantry and 17 food security programs in the two-county area.
“Fill the Mayflower 2024 raised the food and funds we need to feed the hungry in the coming months, when we expect requests for food assistance to increase,” said DeDe Flounlacker, Executive Director of Manna. “We are so grateful to the Northwest Florida community for generously supporting this event and continuing to show an amazing capacity to help those in need.”
In the past 12 months, Manna distributed more than 660,000 pounds of food to more than 67,000 people, and 60% of them were children. Food and funds collected at Fill the Mayflower will assist Manna in meeting the needs of our community.
“Seventeen years ago, Jay and Jennifer Bradshaw, owners of Coastal Moving and Storage, created this event and since, they have made millions of meals possible for children, senior citizens, veterans, families, and individuals in need,” said Flounlacker.
“Their generous support, along with our media sponsors at Cat Country, NewsRadio, and WEAR, make this event possible, and we simply can’t thank them enough!”
For more information about Manna, please visit mannahelps.org.
About Manna Manna’s mission is to offer emergency food assistance, service the food-related needs of vulnerable populations, and engage the entire community in the fight against hunger.

AS HURRICANE SEASON ENDS,
COUNTY URGES
As the 2024 hurricane season comes to a close, Escambia County continues to urge residents to remain weather-prepared during the colder months.
Escambia County encourages residents to observe the five Ps of cold weather safety:
• Protect People: Remember to dress in layers and wear a hat and gloves. It is important to try to stay out of the wind and to stay dry. Also, remember to check on young children, elderly family members and neighbors who are the most sensitive to cold weather. If the temperature cannot be maintained at home, make temporary arrangements to stay elsewhere, including with friends and family.
• Protect Pets: If cold weather is in the forecast, be sure to bring outdoor pets inside or give them a warm shelter to stay in.
• Protect Plants: Cover cold-sensitive plants to protect them from dangerous temperatures.
• Protect Pipes: Cover pipes and allow outdoor faucets to slowly drip to prevent them from freezing and breaking.
• Practice Fire Safety: Use safe heating sources indoors. Do not use fuel-burning devices such as grills; they release carbon monoxide, which is a deadly gas. Also, make sure to use space heaters according to their instructions and be attentive to open flames.
Practice Space Heater Safety
Escambia County Fire Rescue encourages residents to practice space heater safety and know the potential risks associated with home heating equipment.
Home fires occur more in the winter months than any other time of year. According to the National Fire Protection Association, heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths and space heaters account for 4 out of 5 home heating fire deaths.
Keep the Wreath Green
While a joyous time of year, cold weather, holiday decorations and festivities can
create serious fire dangers. Escambia County Fire Rescue, in collaboration with the Pensacola Fire Department, has launched its annual “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign, which began on Sunday, Dec 1. Firefighters hope to reduce the number of fires by promoting simple, life-saving holiday safety tips each day in December.
Waterfront Rescue Mission Cold Weather Sheltering
Escambia County has partnered with Waterfront Rescue Mission to establish a consistent cold weather sheltering plan for the community, providing free shelter options for men, women and children to stay during cold weather events.
Through the partnership, Waterfront Rescue Mission will be the central receiving point for anyone in need of emergency shelter when the temperature drops to 40 degrees or less. Waterfront will coordinate with other partner agencies including ReEntry Alliance Pensacola to ensure anyone needing cold weather shelter can be accommodated.
During declared cold weather events, men can stay at Waterfront Rescue Mission at no charge, and Waterfront will work with REAP to house women and children overnight. If no accommodation can be made, Waterfront will still shelter anyone during cold weather emergencies.
Waterfront Rescue Mission also operates as a Day Resource Center MondayFriday under normal circumstances, but it will be open 24 hours a day during cold weather events to serve as a warming center for anyone who needs to get out of the cold.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY CORRECTIONS GED PROGRAM HELPS INMATES GET A FRESH START
For 33-year-old Catherine Dawson, her dream of being an author and a business owner once seemed completely out of reach.
Now, Dawson is hopeful again after achieving another significant goal of hers: Earning a GED diploma while incarcerated at the Escambia County Jail.
Having spent time in and out of jail since 2016, Dawson decided she was ready to focus on earning her GED and working to build a better life for herself and her children.
The Escambia County Corrections Department offers a GED program to inmates in the Escambia County Jail, which can open up more opportunities after incarceration and help reduce recidivism rates.
Dawson was recently recognized as a Jail GED Program graduate and received her diploma during a ceremony at the Escambia County Jail, celebrating her dedication to achieving educational goals.
"It's the most miraculous feeling when now every door that was closed to you, everything that you thought you couldn't achieve, is now possible," Dawson said. "Now I can be I can be a writer, I can be a business owner, I can be whatever – all the dreams that I had as a child are now possible. And even though I'm 33, I can still I can make my children proud."
The Escambia County Corrections Department has offered a GED program for many years and is a certified testing center through the Florida Department of Education.
Last fiscal year, 29 students graduated from the GED program, with 324 students enrolled in the program and 179 tests administered. Escambia County Corrections Captain Shawn Hankins commended Dawson for working hard to earn her GED diploma, also emphasizing the importance of the GED program overall.
"One of our goals is to provide programs like this that help individuals find a successful path forward after incarceration, which can help reduce the number of inmates who return to our jail," Capt. Hankins said. "I'm proud of Ms. Dawson and the many others in our GED program who have put in the hard work it takes to earn their diplomas and build a better life for themselves after incarceration."
Dawson emphasized the positive impact that Escambia County Corrections staff have made on her life, just by believing in her and encouraging her to continue pursuing her GED after she struggled to pass the math portion of the exam. She hopes to be released from jail after a court date in December, with plans to continue working toward her goal of being an author and a business owner in Escambia County.
"Now I can actually work for a living," Dawson said. "I could still work for a living without my GED, but it would have been harder – and now I can have a career. I can be somebody. And that's the most phenomenal feeling in the world."

SENATOR PITCHES HOMEHARDENING TAX BREAK
JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
A key senator on Wednesday suggested that lawmakers should consider a property tax break, which could be spread over a number of years, for people who try to make older homes more storm resilient.
The proposal floated by Florida Senate Banking and Insurance Chairman Blaise Ingoglia comes as lawmakers in recent years have passed a series of measures aimed at trying to stabilize the state’s property insurance market.
Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, encouraged his colleagues to consider additional ways to save homeowners money while also protecting governments from costs related to disaster restoration.
“If we can get those older homes to be more resilient, it will save local governments a lot of money,” Ingoglia said during an appearance at the 2024 Florida Chamber of Commerce's annual insurance summit in Orlando. “And the most important thing, from the homeowners’ perspective, they will have a home that is now resilient, that they don't have to pay a ton of money for insurance premiums.”
Ingoglia’s plan, targeted at homes built in the 1980s or earlier, would freeze local property taxes for 15 to 20 years in exchange for upgrading the residences to comply with current building standards.
Ingoglia said he thought of the proposal after surveying damages along the Gulf Coast following Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
“Everything that is built to today's building codes, in today's elevations, was pretty much fine. It had some damage, but it wasn't catastrophic damage,” Ingoglia said.
Helene came ashore in Taylor County on Sept. 26 with 140 mph sustained winds, making it the third hurricane to hit the Big Bend region in 13 months. Thirteen days later, Milton made landfall near Siesta Key in Sarasota County and caused widespread damage throughout the state.
Most of the damage along the Gulf Coast affected older homes that were constructed at sea-level elevation, Ingoglia said. Newer building codes require homes that could be susceptible to storm surges to be elevated.
“It was very apparent to me that that's where all the losses were. That's where the insurance losses were. That's where the losses for the homeowners were. That's where money was put up by local government, state government and federal government,” he added.
Ingoglia, a former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, hasn’t filed legislation for the proposal and conceded that his “out of the box” idea doesn’t have the backing of Gov. Ron DeSantis or Senate leadership.
Florida Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie also appeared at the Chamber’s insurance event Wednesday.
According to Guthrie, the state is on the “cusp” of finalizing a new program with the U.S. Small Business Administration aimed at assisting homeowners who are trying to rebuild from recent hurricanes and strengthen their homes.
“We are working with our federal counterparts, along with the folks here in the state of Florida, to do some new things that are going to directly impact homeowners and are going to directly impact their insurance rates and their National Flood Insurance Program. So, more to come,” Guthrie said.
Lawmakers have taken a number of steps over the past few years to address the insurance issue, as insurance companies left the state and homeowners’ premiums soared.
As an example, the Legislature in 2022 provided $2 billion to help insurers with reinsurance, which is critical backup coverage for insurance companies. Lawmakers provided another $1 billion for reinsurance in 2023.
Lawmakers also have passed measures aimed at shifting policies from the statebacked Citizens Property Insurance Corp. into the private market.
The Republican-controlled Legislature also approved proposals seeking to limit lawsuits over property insurance. Such efforts included eliminating what are known as “one-way attorney fees” in an effort to reduce litigation costs and doing away with the long-controversial practice of assignment of benefits for property-insurance claims. Assignment of benefits involves policyholders signing over claims to contractors, who then pursue payment from insurers. Insurers contend the practice led to increased lawsuits.
Senate President Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula, highlighted the insurance issue during his opening address to senators last month. Albritton said lawmakers need to hold the insurance industry accountable as homeowners struggle with affordability and the state recovers from a series of hurricanes over the past several years.
“Be assured, together, we are going to recover, and we are going to rebuild. However, we know that when a family loses everything, the first place they’re going to look for help is not the government — it’s their insurance company,” the Wauchula Republican said. “Floridians have been faithfully paying insurance premiums for years, sometimes decades, and now they expect their insurance company to keep up its end of the bargain.”
Albritton also sent a direct signal to insurers during his Nov. 19 remarks.
“I want to make sure that impacted Floridians and insurance companies hear me loudly and clearly — we are watching. We’ve made changes insurance companies said they needed to improve competition and stabilize rates. And, we’ve enacted pro-consumer transparency to protect homeowners. The proof will be in the results. I’m not going to sit idly by if legitimate claims get denied while rates continue to rise,” he said.
TECO RATE INCREASE APPROVED
JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
State utility regulators on Tuesday approved a new three-year base rate for Tampa Electric Co. that is set to increase residential customer bills starting in January.
Changes to the base rate initially sought by the company would have amounted to roughly a $5 monthly increase for residential customers who consume 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a month, a benchmark used in the utility industry.
However, a spokeswoman for Tampa Electric said after the meeting that the company was “still calculating the impact” of changes adopted by the Public Service Commission Tuesday.
Brooke Ward, senior Florida organizer of Food & Water Watch, called the increase “a gut punch to struggling community members, still reeling from the unexpected costs of back to back hurricanes and record inflation.”
“One in five Tampa households — almost 250,000 — are energy burdened, meaning they spend more than six percent of their income on energy bills, cutting into costs for other necessities,” Ward said after Tuesday’s meeting.
Tampa Electric, also known as TECO, serves about 844,000 customers in Hillsborough County and portions of Polk, Pasco, and Pinellas counties.
TECO in April initially requested an increase of approximately $296.6 million for 2025, with an increase of approximately $100 million in 2026 and $72 million in 2027.
In August, TECO revised its proposal, seeking a 2025 base rate increase of $287.9 million, followed by incremental increases
INSURANCE MARKET REBOUNDS 'FROM BRINK OF COLLAPSE'
DARA KAM NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Changes to Florida laws — including a provision making it harder for policyholders to sue insurance companies — are working as intended to help bring the state’s property-insurance market “back from the brink of collapse,” the head of Citizens Property Insurance Corp. said Wednesday.
Despite three catastrophic hurricanes hitting the state this year, Florida’s propertyinsurance market “continues to recover,” Citizens President and CEO Tim Cerio told the statebacked insurer’s board of directors Wednesday.
“The reforms passed by the legislature, it’s not an understatement to say they really brought the insurance market back from the brink of collapse. They are continuing to work, which is great news for all Floridians,” Cerio said.
Lawmakers in 2022 and 2023 passed a series of measures aimed at stabilizing the state’s insurance market as insurance companies fled the state and policyholders saw premiums skyrocket. Among the changes was a measure that made it more difficult for homeowners to sue insurers over claim disputes, an effort lawmakers said was necessary to curb litigation by bad actors.
According to a report Cerio provided to the board of directors Wednesday, 15 insurance companies have made a total of 22 filings for rate decreases and 29 companies have made 42 filings for a zero percent increase this year. Most companies also paid less for reinsurance this year than they did in 2023.
“After years of consecutive underwriting losses, the insurers saw overall stability with many companies reporting a net profit in 2023,” Cerio’s report said.
Cerio also said efforts to “depopulate” Citizens by shifting polices to private insurers are exceeding expectations. The depopulation program is a key strategy as state leaders try to shrink Citizens, which in recent years became Florida’s largest property insurer because of financial problems in the private market.
“We think we are going to end the year at only 369,000 new policies, which is 30 percent below what we forecast. So, because the market is getting healthier, we are seeing less new business come in,” Cerio said. “We’re certainly moving in the right direction.”
The number of Floridians insured by Citizens fell below 1 million last month and is expected to drop to 907,000 by the end of the year, according to the state-backed insurer’s website.
Citizens, which was created as an insurer of last resort, reached as many as 1.412 million policies last year before seeing the number reduced because of earlier depopulation rounds. State leaders want to minimize the number of policies in Citizens, at least in part because of financial risks if the state gets hit by a major hurricane or multiple hurricanes. If Citizens wouldn’t have enough money to pay claims, policyholders throughout the state — including possibly non-Citizens policyholders — could have to pay what are known as “assessments” to cover the costs.
Cerio said Wednesday that the majority of policies being moved to private insurers were in Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
“These are areas that were typically avoided by takeout companies because of high litigation rates, so the companies continue to have an appetite because of the positive results they’re seeing from the reforms,” he added.
Depopulation “has been a tremendous focus for me and my team and for this board, for a good reason,” Cerio said.
“We should not be competing with the private market. And frankly, a smaller Citizens means less exposure, the chances that non-Citizens policyholders get hit with an assessment,” Cerio said, giving credit to Gov. Ron DeSantis and Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis for the legislative changes. “I was not overstating things when I said the reforms championed by the governor and the CFO brought us back from the brink.”
Citizens thus far has paid more than $516 million to settle combined property claims after Hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton, with Milton payments exceeding $435 million. Citizens also paid more than $52.6 million in expenses to policyholders impacted by the storms, according to Cerio’s report.
Some claims can be closed without payment for a variety of reasons. As an example, Citizens covers damages caused by wind — not storm surge. Also, Citizens policyholders who submitted claims but did not meet their deductible might not receive a payment, Cerio said.
“It’s critical to just point out that we are the state-created, not for profit, insurer of last resort. We have no financial incentive to not pay claims. Zero. In fact, I would argue that … we have every incentive to pay valid claims to our policyholders as promptly as possible,” he said.
REGULATORS APPROVE FPL STORM COSTS
JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Customers of Florida’s largest power company will see a bump of about $12 in monthly bills next year to cover restoration costs from the 2024 hurricane season.
of $92.4 million in 2026 and $65.5 million in 2027.
Commission staff called for an incremental revenue increase of $153.4 million in 2025, with an incremental increase in 2026 of $74.7 million and no increase in 2027.
“Evidence in the record shows that since 2022, interest rates have increased and that TECO has been able to provide reliable service and make all necessary investments with an authorized ROE (return on equity) of 10.2 percent,” a Nov. 22 commission memo on the proposal said. “On balance, staff is recommending that an ROE of 10.3 percent would continue to enable TECO to generate the cash flow to meet its near term financial obligations, make the capital investments needed to maintain and expand its system, and maintain sufficient levels of liquidity to fund unexpected events.”
The rate approved Tuesday gives the company an expected return on equity of 10.5 percent, up from a current 10.2 percent return on equity under a base rate last changed in 2021. The company requested an 11.5 percent return on equity.
TECO’s rate-increase proposal sought money for a series of projects, including upgrading existing power plants and adding solar-energy facilities. But the state Office of Public Counsel, which represents consumers, and other parties argued that the proposal should be scaled back.
Tampa Electric also is expected to seek to recover $45 million to $55 million related to power-restoration costs from Hurricane Helene and $320 million to $370 million related to Hurricane Milton, according to a quarterly financial report filed last month at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The state Public Service Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved a $1.2 billion interim recovery package for Juno Beach-based Florida Power & Light, aimed at covering power restoration costs for Hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton. The money also will help replenish a $150 million storm reserve fund.
Jordan Luebkemann, an attorney who represents Florida Rising and the League of United Latin American Citizens, told the commission during Tuesday’s meeting that the power company’s recovery package will cause residential customers’ costs to increase “while large commercial and industrial customers got a break.”
“Utilities which have participated in the carbon emissions that drive these stronger storms should have more skin in the game in terms of the cost recovery following those storms,” Luebkemann added.
But Joel Baker, an attorney representing Florida Power & Light, told the panel that the storm-cost recovery process has been used on “multiple prior occasions.”
The Miami Beach City Commission was among those that questioned the recovery plan. The commission last month approved a resolution, signed by Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner, that urged state utility regulators “to explore alternative approaches for addressing storm restoration costs and reserve replenishment that do not place an additional burden on FPL's customers.”
FPL wants to recover the costs from customers over a 12-month period starting in January.
The commission in the past has regularly approved such costs, which are essentially a temporary add-on to customer bills.
Utilities typically use as a benchmark residential customers who consume 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a month — though actual electricity use varies widely. FPL also has differing rates based on whether customers are in the utility’s traditional service area or a Northwest Florida area that was part of a purchase of the former Gulf Power.
Under FPL’s proposal approved Tuesday, customers in the traditional service area who use 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity would see their monthly bills go from the current $121.19 a month to $133.99 in January. Customers in the Northwest Florida area would see their bills go from the current $135.38 to $143.45, according to the utility.
Much of the costs — about $811.1 million — stemmed from restoring power after Hurricane Milton, which made landfall Oct. 9 as a Category 3 storm in Sarasota County before crossing the state.
FPL put its costs for Hurricane Debby, a Category 1 storm that hit the Big Bend region in early August, at $113.5 million. Hurricane Helene, a Category 3 storm that ran up the west coast before landfall Sept. 26 in Taylor County, came in at $157.8 million.
The approved package is deemed “interim,” as the commission noted in a release that the charges are subject to a refund, with interest, pending further review once the total actual recovery costs are known.
Duke Energy Florida and Tampa Electric Co. also have indicated they intend to seek recovery costs for the storm season.
Duke has signaled it will seek $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion for hurricane-related costs. Tampa Electric Co. is seeking to recover $365 million to $425 million for costs related to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
