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.

Yes, you have Duke Energy in your home, not SECO.
But we are not talking about the power in your home. We are talking about the light poles in the streets and parking lots.
I don't know if SECO owns the poles throughout the Villages, or if some other entity owns in some sections. Since all the CDD's seem to be involved, it suggests that SECO has the contract for all the light poles.
I know that SECO replaces any burned out lights on the poles. I think they also maintain any damaged poles as part of the rental contract.
