State Intelligence
Updated Aug 3, 2026Utility Landscape
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL)
IOUEastern and southern Florida, including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and portions of the Atlantic Coast — approximately 5.8 million customer accounts
FPL's 2021 rate settlement authorized a substantial capital investment program through 2025; the company has been aggressively expanding solar and battery storage under its 30-by-30 plan. A new base rate case is anticipated as the settlement's rate-freeze period expires, making FPL a focal point of FPSC dockets in 2026-2027.
Duke Energy Florida (DEF)
IOUWest-central Florida, primarily Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties, serving approximately 1.9 million customers
DEF completed its Crystal River nuclear decommissioning cost recovery proceedings and continues to pursue grid hardening and solar expansion investments. The company filed for rate relief reflecting capital additions and storm recovery costs, with FPSC proceedings ongoing through 2026.
Tampa Electric Company (TECO)
IOUHillsborough County and portions of Polk and Pasco counties, serving approximately 825,000 customers
TECO's most recent rate case settlement approved recovery for solar generation investments and transmission infrastructure. Storm hardening cost recovery and the transition away from coal generation at Polk Power Station are active regulatory matters before the FPSC.
Gulf Power (now integrated into FPL/NextEra)
IOUNorthwest Florida panhandle region, including Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Bay counties — fully integrated into FPL operations following FPSC approval
Post-merger integration with FPL was completed under FPSC oversight; panhandle customers are now served under FPL tariffs. Ongoing scrutiny of integration cost allocation and service quality benchmarking remains a residual regulatory concern.
Florida Keys Electric Cooperative (FKEC)
coopMonroe County, including the Florida Keys from Key Largo to Key West, approximately 35,000 accounts
FKEC is subject to FPSC jurisdiction as a cooperative serving a geographically isolated and hurricane-vulnerable territory. Grid resilience investments, storm hardening cost recovery, and undersea transmission cable maintenance are persistent regulatory and financial challenges.
JEA (Jacksonville Electric Authority)
muniCity of Jacksonville and portions of Clay, Nassau, and St. Johns counties, serving approximately 500,000 electric customers
JEA is not subject to FPSC rate jurisdiction as a municipal utility but remains relevant to state energy policy due to its scale and its ongoing integrated resource planning process targeting significant coal retirement and renewable buildout by 2030. Legislative scrutiny of governance and potential privatization resurfaced in 2025.
Key Issues
- —
FPL base rate case filing anticipated in late 2026 or early 2027 following expiration of 2021 settlement rate freeze, expected to be among the largest rate proceedings in FPSC history given the scale of FPL's solar, storage, and transmission capital investment since 2022
- —
Expanded storm cost recovery proceedings across multiple IOUs following the 2024-2025 hurricane seasons, with Duke Energy Florida and TECO seeking FPSC approval for significant storm reserve replenishment and infrastructure hardening amortization schedules
- —
Integrated resource planning compliance and renewable portfolio acceleration — FPSC review of utility IRP filings for consistency with Florida's 2035 solar and battery storage buildout targets, including evaluation of proposed offshore wind feasibility studies
- —
Rate design modernization and net metering transition — ongoing FPSC proceedings to implement revised successor tariff structures for distributed solar customers following Florida's 2022 net metering law changes, with avoided-cost compensation phase-in schedules under active stakeholder dispute
- —
Grid modernization and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) investment recovery — FPSC consideration of cost-benefit frameworks for next-generation smart meter deployments and distribution automation programs proposed by FPL and DEF, with intervenors challenging projected customer savings assumptions
Upcoming
Estimated deadline for intervenor testimony in Duke Energy Florida storm cost recovery docket (Docket No. estimated); FPSC administrative law judge evidentiary hearing expected to follow in Q4 2026 to address DEF's post-hurricane infrastructure amortization request
Estimated FPSC agenda conference to address net metering successor tariff compliance filings submitted by FPL, DEF, and TECO; commission expected to address avoided-cost calculation methodology and phase-in timeline disputes raised by solar industry intervenors
Estimated FPSC workshop on grid modernization cost recovery standards, including AMI deployment benefit-cost methodology; workshop intended to set evidentiary framework ahead of anticipated IOU filings in Q1 2027
Estimated filing deadline for FPL base rate case with FPSC, anticipated to include recovery of solar generation facilities, battery storage, transmission upgrades, and storm hardening capital expenditures accumulated during the 2022-2026 settlement period; proceeding expected to draw significant intervenor participation from OPC, industrial customers, and solar advocates
