Partnering for Our Economic FutureRecently the Florida Economic Development Council held their inaugural Florida Economic Development Week campaign on February 11th – 15th. The campaign was conducted to highlight the different ways that economic development programs and professionals aid Florida communities and families in job growth, investment, and workforce development.

“The partnerships Florida’s 28 colleges build with local industries help shape the talent pipeline and serve to ensure that the skills and programs taught at our institutions are the exact skills and talents needed to help our regional businesses thrive,” said Ava Parker, President of Palm Beach State College. “With more than 112,000 certificates and degrees awarded annually, our college system stands ready to continue providing the training necessary for in-demand, middle-skill, and high skill jobs across the ever-growing number of industries currently in Florida and the businesses that we want to attract to our great state.”

As a rural provider of utility services to more than 100,000 people in a four-county area, Talquin understands the importance of collaborating and working jointly with education to develop a skilled and trained workforce to meet the needs of Talquin and the communities that we serve. Talquin believes that in order for businesses to thrive in rural communities and across the state of Florida, as evidenced by Talquin’s partnership with Tallahassee Community College (TCC), businesses and education must partner in the creation of talent pipelines that meet their current and future workforce needs. TCC has served as Talquin’s education partner for nearly twenty years, providing workforce solutions that include training, job profiling, and assessment. Talquin’s workforce could not have developed and grown to serve our Members properly without our partnership with TCC.

Talquin is active in the chamber of commerce and economic development organizations for each of the four counties we serve. When businesses and local leaders band together, they can make a stand on issues that affect the community as a whole.

Rate ChangesTalquin continuously evaluates its cost of service to ensure rates reflect the true cost to serve all of its Members. Effective April 1, 2019, electric rates will be adjusted as shown in the tables below. The primary reason for rate changes at this time is to support operating margins that have been impacted from lower usage (energy efficiency appliances, milder weather, sluggish load growth, etc.) and increased operating costs (right-of-way maintenance costs, interest expense, etc.).

In fact, a significant portion of this rate change is due to interest expense (totaling about $1.5 million annually) associated with expenses from four significant storms that have impacted our system over the last three years (Hermine, January 2017 storm, Irma, and Michael).

Expenses from these storms have totaled approximately $41 million, of which only about $2.2 million has been reimbursed by FEMA. This rate change does not include the recovery of Hurricane Michael restoration expenses not covered by FEMA, as those total costs are still being evaluated.

Also, effective April 1, 2019, Talquin will reduce the Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment from a credit of ($0.0015) to a credit of ($0.0035), resulting in an overall decrease on bills of 2 mills, or $2 per 1,000 kWh.

The overall impact of these changes to Members who use 1,000 kWh per month will be an increase of $2.80 (or 2.19%) in their monthly bill.

Additionally, starting on April 1st, Talquin will extend billing due dates from 14 days to 18 days.

At this time, water and wastewater rates will remain unchanged.

In April, many people plant trees in honor of National Arbor Day and/or Earth Day.

What you may not know is that April is also National Safe Digging Month. So before

you start digging, be sure to call 8-1-1 and schedule a utility locate for underground

lines. Digging without knowing the approximate location of underground utilities can result in damages to water, wastewater,

gas, electric, and communications lines. Calling 8-1-1 first can save you from service

disruptions, property damage, serious injuries, and costly repairs. Whether you are planning to do the job yourself or are hiring a professional, smart digging means calling

8-1-1 or visiting www.sunshine811.com before each job.

April is National Safe Digging Month

Congratulations to Dan Hancock on retiring after 33 ½ years (he said that ½ year totally counts) of service in Talquin’s accounting department. After 33 ½ years, you can imagine the stories we have to tell. Dan was always up for a game of

backgammon during lunch or a good meal. We even have an annual chili cook-off that we named after him! Now Dan gets to play tennis as much as he wants

and travel with his family. Dan, it is way too quiet around here without you. You are truly missed!
