Closed Title:Electric Rates Definitions
Open Text:

Ever wonder what those charges on your bill mean? Here's a glossary of terms which are references on your bill for you to better understand the charges. 

  • Rate Class - Group of customers that have similar usage characteristics.
  • Residential - Single family homes and individually metered apartments and some common areas in apartment and home owner association common areas. 
  • General Service - Small commercial customers with demand less than 75 kW per billing period
  • General Service Demand - Large commercial customers with demand greater than 75 kW but less than 1,000 kW per billing period
  • General Service Large Demand - Very large commercial and Industrial customers with demands greater than 1,000 kW per billing period
  • Time of Day (TOD) - The rate reflects the different costs of providing electric service at different times of the day, different days of the week, and different seasons.
  • Billing Period - Time period of a utility bill generally 1 month. Period can be longer or shorter. This is generally caused by either stopping or starting service.
  • kilo-Watt (kW) - Measurement of Demand which represents the highest amount of energy used within a single 15-minute intervals during a billing period.
  • kilo-Watt hour (kWh) - Measurement of the flow of electric charge through a conductor or demand integrated over time
  • Load Factor - Ratio of all energy used in a billing period to the peak demand measured in that same billing period...Formula (kWh / (kW X 730 hours) {730 hours is the average number of hours in a month}
  • Excess Reactive Demand (kVar) - Reactive power, measured in kilovolt-amperes (kVar), results from equipment that draws more current from the electrical system than usual.
  • Customer Charge - Even if you use no energy during the month this charge is for each electric service and pays some of the costs associated with meters, meter reading, billing, and customer service.
  • Demand Charge - Through the demand charge, each business pays its share of the utility's investment in generation, transmission and distribution equipment standing by to serve.
  • Energy Charge - The energy charge recovers variable costs related to electric service, utility operation and maintenance expenses, debt service, city contribution, and other costs.
  • Fuel Charge - The fuel charge recovers variable costs related to purchasing fuel burned in JEA's power plants or purchased through power markets.
  • Environmental Charge - The environmental charge recovers costs related to current and future environmental projects.
    Franchise Fee - Fee levied on JEA by a municipality to provide service to the residents of that municipality (Levied by and remitted to the municipality levying the fee).
  • Gross Receipts Tax - Tax levied on JEA by the State of Florida for providing electrical service to residents and businesses of the State (Levied by and remitted to the State of Florida).
  • Public Service Tax - Tax charged by a municipality on the customers of JEA (A portion of the fuel charge is exempt from the Public Service Tax).
  • Florida State Sales Tax - Sales tax charged by the State of Florida on the commercial electric customers of JEA. The State tax rate for electric service is 7% but may be increased by any local option sales tax on the first $5,000 of the taxable charges on an electric bill. Customers on residential rates are exempt from sales tax.

Closed Title:Q&A: Increases in Fuel Costs
Open Text:

 

Why are there fluctuations in the fuel costs?

The price of fuel changes frequently due to market supply and demand fundamentals. There are also many other factors that can influence the price of fuel. JEA actively monitors each fuel type that it uses and has a policy established to manage fuel prices. To choose which fuel types to use, JEA compares the total costs of each fuel and selects the lowest cost fuel blend to generate electricity.

 

Where can I find fuel cost rates in advance of the next month’s adjustment?

JEA fuel cost rates are published on jea.com/rates (this page) under Monthly Fuel Rates Table. 

 

Why do fuel costs sometimes seem to move differently than prices at the gas pump?

Most of the fuel used to produce electricity is different than what is sold at the gas pump. This is because diesel and gasoline are more expensive compared to JEA's other available fuel types. Less than 0.1% of JEA's total annual electric generation is generated by diesel and JEA doesn't use any gasoline to generate electricity. Although, the price of fuel used to produce electricity does fluctuate like gas at the pump, each fuel price typically moves independently based on market forces.

 

Why does JEA’s fuel charge fluctuate each month?

In December 2021, JEA started updating its fuel charge monthly instead of annually, which results in customer bills rising or falling with fuel prices. The monthly changes help us keep up with real-time energy costs. This process provides more transparency for customers and flexibility for JEA to adjust as fuel prices continue to fluctuate.

 

Why doesn’t JEA keep rates stable, as they were before Dec. 2021?

The current process provides more transparency for customers and flexibility for JEA to adjust as fuel prices continue to fluctuate. 

 

What does JEA do to manage fuel costs?

We proactively hedge our natural gas, a strategy to reduce or eliminate exposure to volatile and potentially rising fuel costs. JEA also procures other fuels and purchase power months in advance to minimize major fluctuations in pricing. Also, JEA limits the month-over-month increase in the fuel charge to no more than 20 percent.

When talking with commercial customers about their utility bill, the conversation inevitably leads to a discussion about rates. Although the rates are important, the bill is predominantly tied to the facility’s consumption, rather than the rate.
