Uh, I'm sorry but power companies were just granted permission to raise rates in Florida over the next 4 years. It's been described by at least one news organization as the largest increase in US history. Prompted me to go solar. I could have sworn the article said part of it was for infrastructure build out.
Yeah, here is one:

Seems like a "win-win" for the power companies to me. Not sure what your problem is.
Were you required to get an insurance policy for your solar system or was it not big enough
Mandatory solar panel insurance on homes in uninsurable hurricane magnet land? Sure why not.
