First off, there aren't 240,000 homes in The Villages. So either that number is off, or the entire customer base in AND outside The Villages are all sharing the cost.
Second, it's not all residents of The Villages. People living on my side of the pond have Duke Energy, and our costs are unaffected. Seco doesn't service this side at all.
Third, yes investor-owned utilities are regulated. But SECO is a co-op. The FPSC does not fully regulate co-ops or municipal energy companies.
