~ In a recent decision, the Florida Public Service Commission has approved Duke Energy Florida's request to lower rates and decrease customer bills in January 2025. This annual adjustment is for the cost of fuel used to generate electricity at the company's power plants, as well as other clause adjustments.
According to the commission's approval, typical residential customers using 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) will see a decrease of $9.77 on their January 2025 bill compared to December 2024. Commercial and industrial customers will also see a decrease in their bills ranging from 5.1% to 11.1%, although the exact impact will vary depending on several factors.
Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to offer customers this much-needed break after recent hurricanes devastated many homes, businesses, and communities. She also emphasized that while the company is still assessing the cost of its response to these storms, they remain committed to prioritizing affordability for their customers while working towards developing a smarter and stronger electric grid.

The approved rates also include costs for fuel, capacity, energy conservation, and environmental compliance clauses. This decision allows Duke Energy Florida to continue making improvements to its electric grid consistent with its storm protection plan in order to enhance security, reliability, and resiliency beyond 2025.
However, it should be noted that the company anticipates filing for storm cost recovery for hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton in December 2024. This could potentially impact rates as early as March 2025.
Duke Energy Florida also offers financial assistance programs such as flexible billing options and the Share the Light Fund for customers in need. Customers can learn more about these programs by contacting the Customer Care phone number listed on their bills or by visiting duke-energy.com/HereToHelp.
