What is the fuel and non-fuel?

 

sdf_beanhead-I am glad that you enjoy the rick text editor on our forums, I like them too.

Marcus - I am curious, too of what you are calling fuel and non-fuel.

 

Non Fuel = Rider

Fuel Charge
The charge per kwh to cover the cost of fuel required to produce electricity. This cost is passed on to the customer with no profit to FPL. These costs fluctuate, based on market conditions, and are adjusted annually, or more frequently if prices change by at least 10 percent

Non Fuel Energy Charge
The Non-Fuel Energy Charge includes several elements:

• Base rates, which reflect the costs of producing and delivering electricity to customers, along with general costs of doing business. [/*:m:3l3sszws]
• Environmental activities, to cover FPL’s costs to comply with environmental rulings. [/*:m:3l3sszws]
• Energy conservation, to cover the costs of FPL sponsored conservation programs in which customers participate. [/*:m:3l3sszws]
• Purchased power, to cover the cost of buying electricity from other generating sources. [/*:m:3l3sszws]
• Storm surcharge, allowing FPL to recover 2004 hurricane-related expenses in excess of its storm reserve. [/*:m:3l3sszws]

I thought it was broken out like that on Entergy bills also but i see it is not.
Wow, So I went to Entery's website to try to calculate my bill with thir current rates... the current rate is not posted.

"If there are differences between the electronic copies on this website and the official tariff documents on file with the regulatory agencies, the official documents shall prevail. In addition, Entergy Arkansas makes no warranty or representation that a particular tariff/schedule selected by a customer is available to or suitable for that customer."
