Dive Summary:
- The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) voted Monday to defer the rate hearing scheduled this week to decide if Duke Energy Florida can recover the cost of repairs at the Crystal River nuclear plant Duke closed several years ago.
- For now, the PSC has approved a rate hike to recover costs for upgrades on the abandoned Tampa plant. Starting in January, Duke will charge customers an extra 89 cents a month.
- The PSC will take the matter up again in October.
