The state framework sets the default. Where FPUC (Florida Public Utilities) pays something different, the utility tariff governs and is what the card above reports.
| Compensation mechanism | Retail-rate monthly net metering for FPSC-regulated investor-owned utilities: exported kWh offset consumption in the next billing cycle; remaining year-end credits are paid at the utility's average annual COG-1 as-available/avoided-energy rate. Municipal utilities and rural electric cooperatives set their own programs. |
|---|---|
| Export rate | No single statewide dollar-per-kWh export rate. Monthly net exports are credited as kWh against the next month's usage; unused credits at the calendar-year reconciliation are paid at each IOU's average annual COG-1 as-available energy rate (utility-specific). |
| Rate effective | Current rule and IOU tariffs read 2026-09-16; Rule 25-6.065's current adopted version is effective April 7, 2008, with the utility tariffs implementing its continuing requirements. |
| Credit rollover | Yes. Excess generation in a billing cycle is credited to the next month's energy consumption and may accumulate for up to 12 months; the credit is not a retail-rate cash payment during the rollover period. |
| Credit expiration | Credits may be used for no more than 12 months. At the end of the calendar year, unused credits are paid at the utility's average annual COG-1 rate; unused credits are also settled at that rate when the customer leaves the system. |
| Annual true-up | The last billing cycle of each calendar year (the rule states the end of each calendar year; utility tariffs may place the payment or credit on a subsequent bill). |
| Aggregate program cap | No statewide aggregate program cap; Rule 25-6.065 and the IOU tariffs set per-system limits, including a 2 MW maximum for customer-owned renewable generation, rather than a statewide enrollment limit. |
| Program status | No statewide aggregate program cap or reached-cap status appears in current Rule 25-6.065; the rule instead sets a per-system ceiling of 2 MW and a service-rating limit. |
| Grandfathering | No grandfathering provision. Rule 25-6.065 contains no grandfather or legacy-customer clause, and the Florida Administrative Code records its history as only "New 2-11-02, Amended 4-7-08" with no date-based transition for customers who interconnected under earlier terms. |
| Regulator | Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) |
| Governing rule | Florida Administrative Code Rule 25-6.065, Interconnection and Metering of Customer-Owned Renewable Generation; Florida Statutes section 366.91(5)-(6). |
| Pending change | No verified 2023-to-2026 statutory step-down or open FPSC rulemaking docket changing export compensation was found. The 2026 version of section 366.91 retains the net-metering program requirement and lists its latest amendment as chapter 2021-178; the current FPSC rule page still shows Rule 25-6.065 effective April 7, 2008. The principal current change risk is utility-specific tariff action, not a statewide scheduled transition. |
