Fuel Mix Disclosure

If you get power from a Florida investor-owned utility, you should receive information about the mix of fuels used to generate your electricity every quarter, either as a bill insert or on the bill itself. It is based on the most recent 12 months of data, and there is nothing to apply for. Contact your utility or the Florida Public Service Commission with questions.

Florida's investor-owned utilities must give customers fuel mix information each quarter, so you can point customers to their bill or bill insert to see how their electricity is generated. This can help when discussing efficiency, solar, or other energy upgrades. No standard label is required, so the format varies by utility, and there are no contractor enrollment steps.

A March 1999 Florida Public Service Commission order, effective April 18, 1999 and updated February 1, 2016, requires investor-owned electric utilities, which serve roughly 80% to 85% of the state's customers, to disclose their fuel mix quarterly. Disclosure goes on the bill or in a bill insert, uses data from the most recent 12-month period, and no standard label is required. Florida was the first state to adopt an environmental-disclosure requirement without restructuring its electricity market, and the requirement targets residential and other retail customers of these utilities.
