JEA customers have faced higher costs for electricity since late 2021 when natural gas prices began driving up the fuel charge portion of bills, a cost that utilities across the state have faced. The typical monthly bill before taxes and fees for a JEA residential customer using 1,000-kilowatt hours of electricity was $123.35 in October 2021. The fuel charge part of that bill was $30.50.
The fuel charge portion since then has gone as high as $83.46 in September. It has fallen since then and is $49.78 this month and will go up to $59.73 in January. JEA projects the fuel charge will be $44.57 in April when a proposed change in the base rate portion of residential bills could take effect.
