Tampa Electric Reducing Customer Bills Again in January 2027

Tampa Electric is passing lower fuel costs directly to customers, reducing bills for everyone beginning in January.
 
The Florida Public Service Commission this week approved Tampa Electric’s request to decrease rates by another 1.4%.
 
The reduction follows the meaningful savings our team worked to deliver in August, when we removed the storm recovery charge earlier than scheduled, lowering residential bills by roughly 11% to 12%.
 
Tampa Electric does not earn a profit on fuel costs, which account for approximately 20% of a typical residential bill. When natural gas prices are lower than anticipated, we seek to pass the savings directly to customers. We also work to control fuel costs by improving power plant efficiency, strategically managing fuel purchases and using the lowest-cost power sources available.
 
While we’re doing everything we can to bring customers’ utility bills down, we know some families continue to face financial challenges. Tampa Electric offers flexible payment arrangements, financial assistance and free programs to help customers manage their energy use and costs. Programs include Prime Time Plus, which provides automatic monthly bill credits and a free smart thermostat for eligible participants, and Budget Billing, which helps make monthly payments more predictable. The company’s Customer Assistance team also connects customers with available community and government resources.
