ORLANDO, Fla. – OUC—The Reliable One’s Board of Commissioners voted to decrease pass-through fuel charges by 18% and lower electric rates for all OUC customers.

Mid to large commercial customers will see a decrease between nearly 9% to 11%. The base energy portion of an electric bill, which includes non-fuel OUC expenses, will remain the same.
