Shop for electricity? Florida voters could decide in 2020.

QuoteA petition for a ballot measure that could potentially reinvent Florida's electric utility industry is headed to the Florida Supreme Court.

The proposal, put forward by the political committee, calls for the customer's "right to choose" and would loosen the grip of private utility monopolies like Florida Power & Light, Gulf Power, Duke Energy and Tampa Electric Company. It would allow customers to pick their electricity providers from a competitive market or give them more options to produce solar energy themselves.

This amendment doesn't look too bad at first glance, but I'm not sure whether or not I might be missing something here.
