Florida Power & Light, the state’s largest utility, is seeking a nearly $9 billion hike to customers’ base rates over four years, a sum that affordability advocates said represents the largest rate hike request in U.

FPL customers who use 1,000 kilowatt hours a month currently pay $134.14. Under the proposal, that is estimated to go to $142.37 in 2026; $148.29 in 2027; $149.93 in 2028; and $151.99 in 2029. FPL would pass along costs to customers in 2028 and 2029 for solar-energy and battery-storage projects.

A proposal for new rates submitted by Florida Power & Light Company reflects a nearly $20 rise in bills for most of the state over the plan's tenure.
