FPL Reaches Potential Rate Settlement

FLORIDA, AUG 9 – The Florida Public Service Commission will review FPL's largest rate hike request citing rising costs and infrastructure needs, with an average $8 monthly increase projected in 2026.

  • On August 11, 2025, the Florida Public Service Commission will hold a hearing in Tallahassee to review Florida Power & Light Company’s requested $9.8 billion rate increase.
  • Florida Power & Light Company submitted its rate petition, requesting a hike for 2026–2029, on Feb. 28, as its four-year settlement concludes.
  • Evidence reveals widespread payment challenges among Floridians, with many struggling to pay utilities and FPL shut off numerous residential customers for non-payment.
  • Projections indicate gradual bill increases, with the average customer facing about an $8 monthly rise starting Jan. 1, 2026, and about $17 by 2029.
  • After the hearing, the Public Service Commission expects a decision in November or December, and will schedule a new hearing if needed to review the finalized agreement.
