Duke Energy Florida files for new base rates
April 2, 2024 - St. Petersburg-based Duke Energy Florida filed for new base rates Tuesday that, if approved by the state's Public Services Commission, will increase the average annual bill by 4%. That represents a $16.48 increase in 2025 for the average residential customer. However, Duke officials still expect an overall bill decrease in January 2025 compared to January 2024 due to fuel under-recovery and storm restoration costs expiring by the end of the year.
