The rate on the record
Investor-owned base rates are usually set in a state docket. Riders can change outside a full rate case. Average revenue per kilowatt-hour is total residential revenue divided by residential sales. It is not a tariff schedule.

Audit the full service average
Revenue 10,399,719 thousand dollars. Sales 71,155,041 MWh. Customers 5,337,118. Cents per kWh = revenue ÷ megawatt-hours × 100. Monthly bill = revenue × 1,000 ÷ customers ÷ 12.
Why a FPL bill moved
Usage and price pulled in opposite directions
Hold a FPL household to the filing average and the monthly full service bill changed +5.0% between those two EIA years. Holding the 2024 price fixed, the usage change of −1.6% is worth −$2.44 a month. The price change of +6.6%, from 13.71¢ to 14.62¢, is worth $10.06 on 2025 usage.
Below the Florida average
14.62¢ per kWh is below Florida's 2025 residential average of 15.21¢. July 2026 in the state was 15.03¢, versus 15.11¢ a year earlier (−0.5%). The utility figure is a full year of average revenue. The state figure is one later month. A household that uses more than 1,111 kWh will not land on $162.38.
One full-service average
5,337,118 residential customers were on FPL full service in 2025, at 14.62¢ per kWh. That average folds in the customer charge and whatever riders the utility booked as residential revenue. It is not the last block on a tiered tariff.
Four-year settlement approved, with appeals still open
Florida Public Service Commission, Docket 20250011-EI. On November 20, 2025 the Florida PSC approved a settlement for a four-year rate plan from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2029. Additional annual revenue is $945 million on January 1, 2026, about 39 percent and roughly $600 million below the original request, and $705 million on January 1, 2027, about 24 percent… The rate-case section has the full citation.
Season
FPL customers in Florida average 1,111 kWh a month across the whole year, against a statewide residential average of 1,103 kWh. Summer afternoons do not look like that average. An air conditioner, a pool pump, or a hotter month can move the bill before any rider does.
Data-center load is not a line on this bill
National electricity demand is rising, and EIA points to large computing facilities. No retrieved order isolates a data-center dollar on a FPL residential account. That pass-through needs verification.

How to lower the bill
- Read the kilowatt-hours against this filing's average of 1,111 kWh a month. If your use is the thing that moved, the dollar total can rise on an unchanged rate.
- On the statement, separate the base energy charge from fuel or rider lines. A rider can move the total in a month when no new base-rate order exists.
- In Florida, the expensive hours are late afternoon and early evening in summer. Raise the cooling setpoint when you are out, and run the dryer, the dishwasher, and any pool pump outside those hours if your tariff charges more then.
- Ask about FPL bill help before a payment arrangement. Income rules are on the linked page.
- If the read is marked estimated, the next actual read can true the account up or down. The tariff rule for that true-up needs verification.

Florida Public Service Commission Docket 20250011-EI (decided): Four-year settlement approved, with appeals still open. Separately, the EIA average price moved +6.6% from 2024 to 2025. The annual average and the docket are not the same document.
What bill assistance can FPL customers ask about?
FPL bill help. FPL's assistance page points residential customers to county LIHEAP, the state's Emergency Home Energy Assistance for the Elderly, and Care To Share. Apply through the page rather than a third-party listing. LIHEAP is still available (https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/programs/liheap).
Are data centers why this bill went up?
Large computing load is raising U.S. electricity demand, and regulators can later recover new generation and wires costs from customers. EIA has not published a dollar line that isolates data centers on this utility's residential bill. That pass-through needs verification.
