There’s a minimum “service fee” of $60 from FPL even if you only used $10 of energy.

I don't see how this is a problem: the maintenance of the electricity grid must be paid somehow, and this is more or less a flat, predictable cost. If you're coming from a situation where the maintenance was previously factored into the price of energy consumption (not a bad way), you're going to have to redesign your billing.

Are you arguing against a maintenance fee in general or just how much it costs?
