TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2014 Duke Energy Florida<\/a> customers will see lower electric bills this summer after regulators approved refunds tied to storm recovery charges.<\/p>\n

The Florida Public Service Commission authorized a $90.5 million refund after the utility collected more than it needed to cover hurricane-related costs.<\/p>\n

According to the commission, Duke Energy collected about $1 billion for storm restoration but actual costs came in lower, creating an overcharge.<\/p>\n

The refund will be issued through reduced fuel charges on customer bills from June through September.<\/p>\n

For residential customers, that means a small decrease in monthly electric rates during that period.<\/p>\n

Duke Energy Florida serves more than 2 million customers across the state.<\/p>\n
