What drives Florida utility bills
Cooling is Florida's larger weather load: a normal July-to-June brings 3,421 cooling against 694 heating degree days. Cooling peaked in Jul 2025, heating in Jan 2026.
Electricity supplied 86.1% of Florida home energy in 2024, small-scale solar 7.5%. With gas at 3.8%, many homes have no gas bill; subtract the gas line if yours has no gas service. The kWh above are grid purchases, so a home with panels buys less.
Florida Power & Light Co sold 51.3% of Florida's 2024 residential electricity, Duke Energy Florida, LLC 15.9%.
