Which utility serves this customer?
Each Florida utility has different net metering rules, rebate programs, and pitch angles. Selecting here loads the right calculator math and proposal template.
FPL
Florida Power & Light · Most of FL except Panhandle
Full retail net metering currently. No battery rebate. November 2025 rate hike was largest in U.S. history ($6.9B over 4 years). FPL's profit margin (27.44%) is the highest of any U.S. utility.
Lead with: rate hike + NBT future-proof (NC playbook)
Duke FL
Central FL · Volusia, Lake, Orange, Seminole, Brevard portions
Full retail net metering currently. $30/mo minimum bill. Same parent as Duke NC, which removed retail net metering in October 2023 — strongest single argument for hedging here.
Lead with: "Duke already did this in NC"
NSBU
New Smyrna Beach Utilities · Parts of Volusia County
$3,000 max battery rebate (launched 5/1/2026, hard deadline Sept 30, 2026; confirmed with NSBU). Full retail net metering. Municipal utility — NOT bound by FL IOU law, can change rules anytime.
Lead with: $3K rebate + deadline urgency
OUC
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-farm rate (~4.6¢/kWh). Grandfather status matters: pre-July 2025 customers locked in 20 yrs.
Lead with: Two-path math: take rebate OR keep grandfather
KUA
Kissimmee Utility Authority · Osceola County (Kissimmee, parts of St. Cloud)
Schedule NM-1 is net billing (avoided cost), NOT 1:1 net metering — exports credited at ~$0.02–$0.03/kWh against retail ~$0.11/kWh, leaving roughly a $0.09/kWh spread the battery captures via self-consumption (~$270/yr). Customers interconnected on/before 5/31/2023 are grandfathered with stronger demand-credit terms through 10/31/2028. 2.5% aggregate program cap.
Lead with: Self-consumption captures KUA's retail-vs-avoided spread (~$0.09/kWh)
