TAMPA ELECTRIC RATE CUT APPROVED: Tampa Electric Co. said the Florida Public Service Commission approved its plan to cut electricity rates effective Jan. 1. A household using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity will see its monthly bill fall from $93.94 to $89.68, a penny higher than originally proposed. The cut reflects lower-than-expected fuel costs and lower rates for wholesale power. Utilities are required to pass on such savings to consumers.
