Florida's average residential rate of 15.1¢/kWh for June 2026 ranks 15th of 51 (1 = lowest). Over the past year the rate moved −1.6% (Florida) versus +5.0% nationally; over five years, +27.1% versus +32.6% nationally. Average usage of 1293 kWh/month compares with 930 kWh nationally, which is why the bill and rate ranks can differ.

| Utility | Rate (¢/kWh) | Avg bill ($/mo) | Avg usage (kWh/mo) | Residential customers |

| JEA | 14.44 | 174.72 | 1,210 | 483,973 |
Average bill = rate × average usage. Utilities with similar rates can show very different average bills because their customers' average usage differs (housing mix, heating fuel, climate).
Estimate a bill at Florida rates
Worked example: 1,000 kWh at Florida's average rate of 15.10¢/kWh is about $151.00. The state's actual average usage is 1293 kWh/month, which is what produces the $195.15 average bill. These are average effective rates including all charges; your utility's tariff will differ.
