Below are explanations of the items related to your monthly electric bill. The Florida Public Service Commission regulates each of these items.

Fuel charge: The cost for fuel required to provide each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity. FPL makes no profit on fuel costs, which are adjusted at least once a year.

Non-fuel charge:

Base energy charge: The costs other than fuel to produce and deliver electricity, including the cost of operating power plants, and maintaining the grid.

Energy Conservation Cost Recovery Charge (ECCR): Cost of programs designed to reduce electric demand and consumption through efficiency measures.

Capacity payment recovery clause (CPRC): Cost for purchasing electricity from non-FPL owned resources as well as certain nuclear-related expenses.

Environmental Cost Recovery Clause (ECRC): ECRC recovers costs not already included in the base rates that are incurred by FPL in order to meet environmental laws or regulations.
