Here are the top 10 things to know as you begin the year as an FPL customer.
Gulf Power is now FPL. This means your bills and other important communication will come from FPL, and Gulf Power office buildings, trucks and uniforms are being rebranded with the FPL logo. Please note, there will be a short transition period when you may see employee uniforms and vehicles with either the FPL logo or Gulf Power logo. While the company name has changed, our commitment to Northwest Florida remains as strong as ever. We’re proud to continue to call you neighbors and remain here to serve you.
New rates and tariffs are in effect as part of the new four-year rate plan unanimously approved by the Florida Public Service Commission. After an initial increase in January 2022, the typical 1,000-kWh residential customer bill in Northwest Florida is projected to become increasingly more affordable and, by 2025, be less than it is today. More information about the new rates and tariffs is included with your January bill and is available at FPL.com/rates.
Residential customer bills are now calculated using a tiered rate structure of different rates: one for energy consumption and fuel up to 1,000 kWh, and another for consumption and fuel over 1,000 kWh. This approved rate structure, which is used by other Florida electric utilities, encourages customers to become more energy efficient. We have free online tools to help you monitor your energy use and increase your energy efficiency to help lower your bills. See what you can do to save on your bill.

We’re committed to supporting customers experiencing hardship while also balancing the needs of all customers. As such, customer bills are subject to a late payment charge. The greater of $5 or 1.5% of your past due balance will apply. Your account may also be billed a deposit adjustment. Note, if the bill you received in December has a due date of Jan. 1, 2022, or later, it will be subject to the late fee if not paid by the due date.
