About Floridians Against Increased Rates

There is no charge to join FAIR. You’ll never be asked for a donation. We are simply recruiting members so that we can be your voice opposing unfair electric rate increases that FPL and other utilities are asking the PSC to approve, and supporting the lowest possible rates consistent with safe and reliable service.

The current situation…

FPL has once again set a new record for requesting the largest electric rate increases in Florida history: $1.545 Billion per year starting in January 2026 plus an additional $927 million per year starting in January 2027. These rate increases would total more than $8.9 Billion from 2026 through 2029. Additionally, FPL is seeking authority to further increase its rates when it brings new solar and battery projects on-line in 2028 and 2029. These increases could well bring the total additional revenues that FPL is seeking from its customers to more than $10 Billion over the next 4 years.

According to FPL’s filing, its proposed increase in base rates for a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month would be $11.52 per month in 2026, plus an additional $7.05 per month in 2027. As you know, FPL’s bills include several other charges, like the Fuel Charge; as of now, FPL’s storm cost recovery charge for previous storms is slated to terminate at the end of this year, but regardless, whatever increase in base rates the PSC approves will make your bills that much higher. And of course, this assumes that everything else remains as FPL projects and that there are no significant storms anytime soon.

(*) Please note: We respect your privacy. We will not send you hard copy mail. We need your address in case FAIR is required to prove that its members are customers of one of the utilities listed above in proceedings before the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC), including cases before the PSC where your utility is seeking to increase your rates. As unlikely as this may sound, we have to recognize that when FAIR challenges a utility’s proposed rate increases, the utility may try to keep FAIR from intervening to represent the customers’ interests. We also represent that FAIR will not share your information with others unless FAIR is required by law, rule, or order to do so, and if we are required to provide such information in legal proceedings before the PSC, FAIR will seek to protect the confidentiality of your information.

Background

In 2021, FPL asked the PSC to approve a series of rate increases from 2022 through 2025, totaling more than $6 billion over the four years. After many parties, including FAIR, submitted extensive testimony and evidence demonstrating that those increases were excessive, some parties and FPL entered into a “settlement agreement” that still gave FPL nearly $4.9 billion in rate increases over the period. FAIR and other pro-consumer parties appealed that decision, but the higher rates remain in effect.

NOW, in 2025, FPL is asking for even more excessive rate hikes: this time, they’re asking for at least $8.9 billion more of customers’ money over the next four years, and probably more than $10 billion when as-yet-unspecified increases are rolled in. FAIR is gearing up to fight these increases as we fought FPL’s egregious requests in 2021.
