Florida Power & Light Summer Bill Spike

What to Know

Summer bills from Florida Power & Light are typically 30–50% higher than spring/fall due to air conditioning demand. With rates ranging from 9¢–26¢/kWh, increased usage during hot months can add $50–$150 to your monthly bill. If you're on the Time-of-Use (RTR-1) plan, running AC during peak hours at 26¢/kWh significantly increases costs. Consider pre-cooling before peak hours when rates drop to 9¢/kWh. Setting your thermostat to 78°F and using ceiling fans can reduce summer cooling costs by 10–20%.
