(FL) Duke Energy strikes deal to lower customer bills
TALLAHASSEE — Duke Energy Florida customers will finally stop paying for a nuclear power plant that's not being built.
Under a proposed settlement filed with regulators Tuesday, Duke's 1.8 million customers will not have to pay off the remaining $150 million for the Levy County nuclear project. That could trim $2.50 off the average monthly bill.
But there will be no reimbursement for the roughly $800 million that ratepayers have already paid toward the project that was abandoned four years ago — before it even got off the ground.
