Informational Fact Sheet Regarding Your Utilities Commission and Commercial Utility Rates
Due to the current economy, any spending has become a concern in everyone’s budget. This
informational sheet was developed to provide you with a further understanding of Utilities Commission
(UC) rates as your local, low-cost utility provider.
Attached is the Florida Municipal Electric Association’s (FMEA) October 2009 electric rate comparison
which includes comparisons of Florida’s listed 33 municipal power systems and four investor-owned
electric companies and 15 cooperatives. Rates are complex and very hard to compare fairly, “apples to
apples.” For example, each system has varying non-inclusive rate charges such as franchise fees,
payments to their city general funds, acquisition surcharges, and outside city surcharges. For the Utilities
Commission (UC), the required 6% payment to the City of New Smyrna Beach is “embedded” in our
rates. In order to make a relative comparison with the closest investor-owned utility (IOU), Florida Power
& Light (FPL), an average of 6% was added in the residential rates by FMEA for comparison purposes
(the 6% needs to be added for commercial rate comparisons and for cooperative comparisons). There are
also varying customer rate classes and varying rates within the consumption blocks of those classes. To
assist in understanding the comparisons, brief statements follow:
[1] As previously provided in a UC bill insert in October, the Utilities Commission’s electric costs are
in the lowest third of residential electric providers when compared to the listed 33 municipal
electric providers and to the 57 total providers within the State of Florida. In the attached
comparison, when compared to FPL (IOU), the UC rate is higher for customers in the 1,000 kWh
consumption block. According to FPL’s rate structure, the UC block rates are lower than FPL’s block
rates from 1,000 kWh to 2,500 kWh. As shown in the attached comparison the UC residential rates are
lower than FPL for customers at 2,500 kWh of total consumption.
[2] Regarding non-demand and small demand commercial customers (“small businesses”), the
UC’s electric costs are below the 5 lowest cost municipal systems and the UC’s rates are lower than
FPL’s for customers below the 40 KW – 10,000 kWh consumption level. Approximately 90% of New
Smyrna Beach’s small businesses are included in the 40 KW – 10,000 kWh consumption level and
pay less than FPL.
[3] Regarding the Utilities Commission’s rates for large demand and/or industrial customers, above
the 300 KW – 60,000 kWh consumption level, the UC’s electric costs are again in the lowest third of
commercial electric providers in the State. The UC rates in this customer class are higher than FPL’s.
This 10% of the UC’s commercial customers, which includes the electric usage at the UC’s water and
wastewater plants, fall within the large demand rate class.
Some other utilities and some investor-owned utilities provide rate subsidies, usually for large
commercial and industrial customers; the UC has no rate subsidies. FPL’s President & CEO, Armando
J. Olivera, recently stated in a letter to its customers, dated September 9, 2009, regarding its current rate
proposal to the Florida Public Service Commission, “Our proposal would eliminate an historic
imbalance in rates that has resulted in residential customers and small businesses effectively
subsidizing our largest customers”.
[4] The UC has carried and recovered an approximate $4.5 million balance in fuel and purchased power
costs for over a year to maintain lower electric rates and to assist our customers. The UC is currently
reviewing fuel and purchased power costs for possible rate reductions in 2010.
Informational Fact Sheet Regarding Your Utilities Commission and Commercial Utility Rates
(cont.)
[5] The UC is a non-taxing, legislatively-created municipal utility service provider. Due to our
existing regulations and bond covenants for cost-based services, no customer class does or is allowed to
subsidize another. These requirements extend to all UC services, i.e., no free services are allowed and
UC customers do not subsidize new developments and/or businesses nor do UC customers incur the
financial risks for private projects. These requirements also protect the UC ratepayers, the rate revenues,
and enables dedicated, continued reinvestment in and maintenance of our utility systems and
facilities while providing a steady cash flow to the City of New Smyrna Beach.
[6] The UC is also a low cost water, wastewater, and reuse water service provider. Currently, many
municipal water/wastewater providers are often subsidized by taxes and are now facing insufficient
revenues with deficiently maintained systems. As reported in local newspapers, many of those municipal
systems are now requesting or implementing large rate increases.
Thank you for allowing us to provide you with this information and for taking your
time to learn more about your local utility provider.
