Duke Energy Florida has filed a request with the Florida Public Service Commission to lower customer rates beginning in January 2027, with typical residential customers using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month seeing a $0.71 decrease on their bills from December 2026, and commercial and industrial customers experiencing reductions ranging from 0.8% to 3.6%. The company attributes the decrease to lower fuel costs and an innovative tax strategy that accelerates $50 million in customer savings, offsetting a planned 2% increase in the base rate. Duke Energy Florida state president Melissa Seixas emphasized the company's commitment to smart investments and reliable service. The utility, a subsidiary of Duke Energy, serves 2 million customers across Florida and owns 12,500 megawatts of capacity.
