The Florida Public Service Commission has cut rates for three power companies due to such factors as declining fuel prices.
The commission Tuesday also ordered Florida Power & Light Co. to refund $364 million because its current fuel rate is too high.
Customers will get a one-time credit in January of $44.46
for customers using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month.
FPL's monthly rate also will drop by $15.29 for that level of
usage.
Most of the reduction would be offset if the commission
approves a requested base rate increase that could add back up to $13.
The commission approved decreases of 5 cents for Progress Energy and $1.46 for Tampa Electric Co. customers using 1,000 kilowatt hours.
Progress is seeking a base rate increase of $9.66.
