The Temporary Storm Surcharge Ends in September, Lowering Your Electric Costs.
In September, the temporary storm surcharge will be removed from bills. For residential customers, this means a decrease of $19.95 per 1,000 kWh. Many customers use more than 1,000 kWh each month, so they'll see even greater savings. Most businesses can expect electric costs to decrease by approximately 1 to 12%, depending on usage. The surcharge helps cover approximately $464 million in restoration costs after the historic 2024 hurricane season.
