FPL to begin charging extra fees in May to customers who... | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

I wonder how this fee affects the relationship between FPL and City of Lake Worth rates? Is the city still rolling out its smart meter program. I remember some talk about it a few years ago, but it seemed like a "pilot" project. This arrangement with FPL is a compromise with the Public Service Commission - an organization that the city doesn't have to report to. From the article:

Florida Power & Light Co. customers who decline a smart meter will be charged a one-time $95 enrollment fee and a $13 monthly surcharge beginning in May, regulators said Tuesday.
The Florida Public Service Commission unanimously approved its staff’s recommendation to reduce Juno Beach-based FPL’s original request for a $105 up-front fee and $16 a month. Approximately 33,800 residential and small business FPL customers — including 2,193 in Palm Beach County — have refused a smart meter or failed to allow installers access, but FPL officials have said they expect that to dwindle to 12,000 once the extra fees take effect.
