FPL's 2026 all-in rate is 14.5¢/kWh — a typical 1,000 kWh bill is $145. See base rate, fuel charge, RTR-1 off-peak hours, and 6 ways to lower your FPL bill.
FPL's all-in residential rate in 2026 is approximately 14.5¢/kWh, which includes the base rate (~7.5¢/kWh), fuel charge (~3.5–41¢/kWh), capacity charge, environmental cost recovery, and storm protection charges. The exact rate varies slightly by month based on fuel cost adjustments.
A typical 1,000 kWh FPL residential bill in 2026 costs approximately $145, including all charges and the base customer charge. Bills above this often reflect either higher usage during summer cooling months or being charged the higher tier for usage above 1,000 kWh.
FPL offers a voluntary Residential Time-of-Use (RTR-1) rate. On-peak hours are typically weekday afternoons — noon to 9 PM in summer (April–October) and 6–10 AM plus 6–10 PM in winter (November–March). Off-peak rates are significantly cheaper, but on-peak rates are roughly double the standard rate, so TOU only saves money if you can shift major loads (laundry, dishwasher, EV charging, pool pump) outside on-peak hours.
FPL bill increases in 2026 are typically driven by: (1) fuel cost adjustments tied to natural gas prices, (2) approved storm protection cost recovery surcharges, (3) the tiered rate structure (rates rise above 1,000 kWh of monthly usage), and (4) seasonal usage spikes from summer cooling. FPL filed a multi-year base rate increase that takes effect incrementally through 2027.
To lower your FPL bill: (1) keep monthly usage under 1,000 kWh to stay in the lower tier, (2) enroll in FPL's free On Call program for AC cycling credits, (3) request a free FPL Home Energy Survey, (4) set AC to 78°F and use ceiling fans, (5) seal duct leaks (Florida homes lose 20–30% of cooled air through ducts), and (6) audit your bill for errors using a tool like Utility Check.
FPL's fuel charge is a pass-through cost that recovers the actual fuel FPL burns to generate electricity (mostly natural gas). The Florida Public Service Commission approves fuel charges annually, but they can be adjusted mid-year if natural gas prices spike. The fuel charge is not profit — FPL recovers exactly what it spends on fuel, no markup.
FPL's residential base customer charge is approximately $9.95/month in 2026. This is a fixed monthly fee charged regardless of how much electricity you use — it covers metering, billing, and customer service costs. You cannot reduce this charge without disconnecting service.
