利率是如何设定的
To ensure fair and reasonable rates for customers, 投资者所有公用事业, 比如十大国际老虎机平台, are regulated by the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC). An electric utility company uses a rate case to formally request an adjustment to the base rate component of customer bills. The PSC holds public hearings on proposed rate changes, allowing customers to voice their concerns and objections to the proposed rates. 最终, the PSC has the final say on the amount 坦帕电 can charge customers, and it is based on their examination of the company’s carefully considered costs to provide safe and reliable electric service, including an opportunity to earn a reasonable return on capital investments. Additional information about how the PSC regulates utilities is available at FloridaPSC.com.

典型帐单收费
Whether you're going through your household bills or planning the annual budget for your business, 你想知道你花钱买的是什么. To help you better understand what you’re being charged, we’ve compiled a list of terms and definitions for charges included on typical residential and business bills:
The monthly 基本服务费 is a base rate charge that covers the cost of maintaining your electric meter and the wires that bring electrical service to your home or business. It also covers the cost of reading the meter, maintaining customer records and accounting for bill payments, 信贷和其他交易. Every customer incurs this charge – even if electricity isn't used during the month.
The monthly 电费 includes most of the other costs of producing the electricity you purchase, 除了燃料. This includes the base rate energy charge and conservation, environmental and capacity cost recovery charges. 基准利率 make up the 电费 for large commercial and industrial customers, and all other charges are listed separately on the billing statement.
The monthly 燃料费用 on your bill reflects the cost of the natural gas we use to generate your electricity. We pass these costs directly to you without any markup or profit to 坦帕电. The cost of natural gas changes based on what is happening in the energy market, 就像你汽车的汽油价格一样. When natural gas prices go up or down, your bill will go up or down.
The 防风费 supports work to strengthen our electrical systems that deliver power to your home or business. These investments will help minimize power outages and reduce power restoration time.
This is a temporary charge to recover storm restoration costs that we already incurred.
A charge to recover costs associated with electric meter upgrades and the closing of certain coal-fueled plants to support 坦帕电’s transition to a cleaner energy future.
