Rates for businesses are calculated differently than residential rates, but FPL said the proposal, in part, would lead to small- and medium-sized businesses seeing bills increase at an average annual rate of 3.9 % to 4.4 %.īase-rate cases are among the most closely watched issues at the Public Service Commission, as they involve large amounts of money and extensive financial and technical details. Such Northwest Florida residential customers, meanwhile, would see their bills go from $132.41 in January 2021 to $133.21 in January 2022, the projections show. Under the plan, FPL residential customers outside of Northwest Florida who use 1,000 kilowatt hours a month would see their bills go from $99.05 in January 2021 to $109.58 in January 2022, according to the utility’s projections. Utilities typically use a benchmark of residential customers who use 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a month, though actual usage varies widely. 1.įPL and Gulf have had substantially different rates in the past, and the proposal would take that into account through what is described as a “transition rider.” That would result in Northwest Florida customers paying more than FPL customers in other areas - but also seeing their bills remain relatively flat, according to the company. The proposal would continue carrying out FPL’s merger with Northwest Florida’s Gulf Power, which formally took effect Jan.
“Due to our consistent and disciplined, long-term investments, we’re able to provide service that is cleaner and more reliable than ever before while our residential, commercial and industrial bills have remained among the lowest bills in the state and the nation for over a decade.” “We recognize there is never a good time to request a rate increase, and we remain steadfastly committed to providing customers unparalleled value while building an energy future they can depend on,” FPL President and CEO Eric Silagy said in a prepared statement. It also calls for a $140 million increase in 2024 and a $140 million increase in 2025 to pay for solar-energy projects. The proposal calls for a $1.1 billion increase in base-rate revenues in 2022 and a $607 million increase in 2023. The filing at the Florida Public Service Commission set the stage for what likely will be a months-long process of review and debate about whether - or by how much - FPL should be able to increase base electric rates. If you need to report a gas leak, please call City Hall at 70. For after hours assistance and emergencies, please call the Eatonton Police Department at 70.Florida Power & Light on Friday filed a four-year rate plan that would lead to most customers seeing gradual increases in their monthly bills, with the utility saying the proposal would allow it to “continue focusing on ways to deliver low-cost electricity.” No set price is established on a per monthly basis for gas service except for a minimum bill charge of $8.00, which will include the first 200 cubic feet of gas used, generally enough to keep a pilot light burning on an efficient gas water heater. New customer accounts may be set up at City Hall. As a commodity, the gas is bought on the open market. Together with dozens of other communities, the City of Eatonton purchases natural gas in such great quantities that the prices remain affordably low while others see skyrocketing natural gas bills. Gas is a commodity that is bought through a cooperative called the Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia.
