Tampa Electric bills remain 12% below the national average. Like all regulated utilities in the state, Tampa Electric's rates and charges are approved by the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC).In September 2013, the PSC approved an increase to Tampa Electric's base rates and service charges.The new rates went into effect in November 2013 and are being phased in over three years, including increases of $7.5 million and $5 million in November 2014 and 2015, respectively.It also includes a $110 million increase when the expansion of the Polk Power Station is complete, expected in January 2017.he new rates went into effect in November 2013 and are being phased in over three years, including increases of $7.5 million and $5 million in November 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Why is the atomic mass of a element not a whole number like its atomic number and mass number? An element's atomic mass is not an integer (a whole number) because it is the average mass of all of the element's isotopes (elements that have different amounts of neutrons e â¦ ffecting the mass number of an element). For example, oxygen has 16.01 as its atomic mass.
Every atom is composed of a nucleus and one or more electrons bound to the nucleus. The nucleus is made of one or more protons and typically a similar number of neutrons (none in hydrogen-1).Protons and neutrons are called nucleons. Over 99.94% of the atom's mass is in the nucleus.ne mole of atoms of any element always has the same number of atoms (about 7023602200000000000â 6.022Ã1023). This number was chosen so that if an element has an atomic mass of 1 u, a mole of atoms of that element has a mass close to one gram.
