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.

 

Do fuel charges cover any JEA expenses unrelated to fuel, such as salaries or the new headquarters?

No. Fuel charges are a pass-through cost, and when JEA’s cost of fuel goes down, we will be able to pass those savings along to customers on a monthly basis.

 

What is JEA doing to help customers struggling to pay higher utility bills?

We continue to manage our business the best way we can so we can maintain affordable rates for our customers. We also:

• Provide flexible, interest-free payment options, including payment arrangements and payment extensions that give customers more time to pay. Customers can apply for these options online and find out instantly if they're eligible.
• Allow customers who establish good payment histories to get their deposits refunded after 12 months instead of 24 months, giving money back to them faster.
• Offer innovative billing and payment options, including JEA MyBudget, our levelized payment program that takes a rolling average of your last 12 bills, taking the sting out of seasonal spikes in your utility bill. Customers can also take advantage of JEA Guest Pay, a tool that allows family, friends and other loved ones to help cover some or all of a customer's utility bill
• Help customers connect to community resources that offer utility bill payment assistance and programs to help with other critical needs.
