ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Some people in Central Florida will soon see their energy bills go down.<\/p>\n

Duke Energy is removing storm recovery charges from energy bills for Central Florida customers, resulting in an estimated decrease of about $33 per month, followed by an additional $11 drop.<\/p>\n

The removal of these charges comes as the utility company seeks to alleviate the financial burden on consumers. <\/p>\n

The revenue from the storm recovery charges was over one billion dollars, specifically allocated for repairs to areas affected by hurricanes Debbie, Helene and Milton.<\/p>\n

Duke Energy officials have stated that these changes in billing are aimed at providing relief to customers during times of rising living costs. <\/p>\n
