Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), a subsidiary of NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE), announced plans to file a new rate request for 2026-2029 after its current base rate agreement ends in 2025. The proposal estimates a 2.5% average annual increase in typical residential customer bills from January 2025 through 2029. Despite the increase, FPL bills would remain below the national average.

The plan aims to support infrastructure investments, with FPL's distribution service reliability being 59% better than the national average. The company has added 275,000 customer accounts since 2021 and expects 330,000 more through 2029. FPL's smart-grid technology helped avoid 1.8 million customer outages in 2023 and 1.4 million outages during storms in the last three hurricane seasons.

Phillips 66 has partnered with NextEra Energy Resources to build a 30.2 MW solar facility that will power the Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex. The facility will reduce grid power demand by 50% and avoid approximately 33,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually starting Q1 2025.

The solar installation, spanning 88 acres and featuring over 70,000 solar modules, will generate about 60,000 MWh/year of electricity, equivalent to powering 23,000 electric vehicles annually. The project has created 130 local union construction jobs.

The Rodeo Complex, which produces renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from lower-carbon feedstocks, reached full processing capacity of 50,000 BPD in June after transitioning to renewable feedstocks in March.

The request covers costs from Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton in 2024, plus $150 million to replenish storm reserves depleted by Hurricane Idalia in 2023. The storms caused over 3 million combined outages, though FPL's grid investments prevented nearly 900,000 additional outages. Despite the surcharge, FPL bills will remain below the national average, with typical residential bills increasing to $133.99 for FPL customers and $143.45 for FPL Northwest customers.
