About electricity rates in Florida
Florida has a regulated market with no retail choice, and most households are served by one of three investor-owned utilities whose rates are set by the Florida Public Service Commission: Florida Power and Light, which covers much of the peninsula and the panhandle, Duke Energy Florida in the central and western parts of the state, and Tampa Electric. Municipal utilities such as JEA in Jacksonville and the Orlando Utilities Commission, along with rural cooperatives, serve the rest.
Generation is dominated by natural gas, supplemented by nuclear plants at Turkey Point and St. Lucie and rapidly expanding utility-scale solar. Air-conditioning runs for most of the year, and because few homes have gas service, winter heating is also mostly electric. Hurricane restoration costs are recovered through separate storm charges on bills. Net metering remains in place for rooftop solar.
