Duke Energy Florida, along with consumer representatives, has filed a proposed settlement that aims to increase base electric rates, but not as significantly as initially proposed. This settlement is still awaiting approval from the state Public Service Commission but marks a promising development in the ongoing rate case.
Proposed Increases:
Base rates to increase by $203 million in 2025 and $59 million in 2026.
Additional increases over three years to support solar-energy projects.
Consumer Agreement:
The settlement was reached with the state Office of Public Counsel and other significant parties like the Florida Retail Federation and the Florida Industrial Power Users Group.
Benefits to Customers:
The settlement promises lower increases in customer bills compared to the original proposal.
Residential customers consuming 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity monthly will see a decrease in their bills from $165.76 in December to $157.50 in January 2025.
Support for Solar Energy:
New solar facilities will be supported with increases totaling $12 million in 2025, $71 million in 2026, and $58 million in 2027.
