Large energy users \u2013 including manufacturing facilities, industrial operations, or emerging sectors like data centers \u2013 can play\u00a0an important role\u00a0in a growing economy. The key is making sure that growth happens responsibly and does not shift costs or risks onto families and small businesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Florida has developed a straightforward solution to move the state\u2019s economy forward:\u00a0Require growth to pay its own way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed legislation requiring all of Florida\u2019s regulated utilities to develop rate structures ensuring large-scale data centers bear their electric service costs and that risks are not passed on to other customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is another\u00a0great example\u00a0of Florida getting things right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Florida Power & Light Company, we\u00a0already\u00a0put this principle into action with a large-load rate structure approved by the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC). Under this framework, companies connecting significant new demand to the grid\u00a0are responsible for\u00a0paying the costs associated with serving their projects, including 100% of any new power generation\u00a0required\u00a0to serve their needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This structure also includes strong protections \u2013 engineering reviews, financial collateral, minimum monthly payments, long-term commitments, and protections if a project shuts down early.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The goal is simple: make sure the cost stays with the company driving the demand, not with Florida families.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as important, this framework\u00a0delivers\u00a0real benefits to customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our grid is built to reliably serve customers during peak demand and extreme weather, while also planning for continued growth. When a large customer connects to the system and uses power steadily, it will pay its costs and add significant revenue that helps cover fixed system costs. Over time, that creates downward pressure on rates while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0reliability and resilience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By planning ahead and putting the right policies in place, Florida and the PSC have created a model that both protects customers and supports responsible economic growth.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0how you build a stronger economy\u2014while keeping energy reliable and affordable for the people who call Florida home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
