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.
The Atomic Mass is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. So S-32 has an Atomic number of 16 therefore 16 protons and 16 electrons -The positive protons are balanced by an equal number of negative electrons. Mass number is 32 = protons+neutrons; take away the 16 protons and you are left with 32-16 = 16 neutrons. Now S-34 Is still sulphur so its number of protons is STILL 16 and so the number of electrons is STILL 16. The number of neutrons is 34-16=18. I think that the 88% fooled you - it is an unnecessary fact in this question.
