JEA CEO explains raises & bonuses while customers get high bills & disconnections.
After he paid he learned that JEA just approved bonuses and pay increases for employees
The jump in our JEA bills is coming from the fuel charge – it’s what JEA passes on to you in order to pay for natural gas and other fuels to produce electricity. Those costs have skyrocketed this year. It wasn’t only bonuses approved, JEA also okayed a 3 year salary increase for its unionized employees – as much as 9% in the first year.
“There are lots of places that are having trouble keeping employees so we want to make sure we can keep and retain really qualified employees that can support the reliability and resilience of the system so we are having to balance all of the different items,” Stowe said.
