Florida Power & Light · Most of FL except Panhandle
Full retail 1:1 net metering (Rule 25-6.065), protected — nothing filed to change it; annual true-up read in December at avoided cost. $30 minimum-bill floor (Docket 20250011-EI). No battery rebate (FPL On Call is load-control DR, not batteries). Rate settlement approved 11/20/2025 is SETTLED, multi-year through 2029: +~$945M (2026) + ~$705M (2027) — the $6.9B figure was the original ask, cut ~$2.9B in settlement (never quote the ask as approved).

Central FL · Volusia, Lake, Orange, Seminole, Brevard portions
Full retail 1:1 net metering (Rule 25-6.065), protected — nothing filed in FL; annual true-up read in December at avoided cost. $30 minimum-bill floor (Docket 20240025-EI, eff. Jan 1, 2025; income-qualified relief EXCLUDES net-metering customers). Rates: customer charge $13.83/mo; non-fuel 7.412¢ (Mar–Nov) / 8.442¢ (Dec–Feb) first 1,000 kWh + a SEPARATE fuel factor (all-in ~18–19¢ indicative — confirm the fuel sheet). Same parent as Duke NC, which moved existing solar off retail NM (Oct 2023 → bridge → Rider RSC) — the NC precedent is the honest hedge rationale ('nothing like it is filed in FL'). EnergyWise Home Battery Control is enrollable (~$141/yr) — the only enrollable battery program in the FL book.

Tampa Electric Company · Hillsborough + parts of Polk, Pasco, Pinellas · West-central FL (Tampa Bay) · ~830K accounts · PSC-bound IOU.
Full retail 1:1 net metering (Schedule NM-1, Rule 25-6.065), protected — nothing filed in FL; annual true-up read in December at the COG-1 avoided-cost rate. NO $30 minimum-bill floor — a fixed $32.10/mo CUSTOMER CHARGE applies (Schedule RS). All-in ~15.9¢/kWh; typical 1,000-kWh bill ~$148–152. Bill progression ~$148 (2025) → ~$162 (2026) → ~$167 (2027). A TEMPORARY storm-restoration surcharge ends ~Aug 2026, dropping the typical bill ~$20 (a rider rolling off, not a base cut — the honest volatility note). Rate case 20240026-EI settled Feb 2025 with no NEM change. No battery program (Prime Time Plus is a load-control DR that excludes batteries).

New Smyrna Beach Utilities · Parts of Volusia County
EXPOSED net billing (Net Billing Rider Sheet 26.0, eff. 2/1/2026): ALL exports credited at 2.800¢/kWh avoided cost AS EXPORTED — no monthly retail netting — while retail runs ~11–12¢ (10.522¢/12.336¢ + COPCA fuel; customer charge $9.50). NSBU's own materials call it a '66% reduction in reimbursement.' Battery captures the ~9¢ spread. $3,000 battery rebate ($150/kWh, ≥8 kWh) through Sept 30, 2026 or while funds last — NO export-rate forfeiture (unlike OUC). Municipal — not PSC-bound, can change rules anytime.

Orlando Utilities Commission · Orlando, St. Cloud area
$150/kWh up to $2,000 rebate, BUT taking it forfeits the TruNet full-retail credit (~10.7¢/kWh) and moves the customer to the Community Solar Energy Rate (~5.47¢/kWh, stepping to ~4.77¢ levelized fuel on 7/1/2030). Grandfather status matters: pre-July-2025 customers keep TruNet full retail (10.7¢) through June 30, 2045.

Schedule NM-1 is net billing (avoided cost), NOT 1:1 net metering — exports credited at ~$0.02–$0.03/kWh against retail ~13.2¢/kWh effective, leaving roughly a $0.09/kWh spread the battery captures via self-consumption (~$270/yr).

EXPOSED-MILD co-op: monthly kWh-for-kWh netting WITH a rolling kWh bank; only the December surplus is cashed at avoided cost (¢ UNPUBLISHED — confirm current figure).
