OUC: questions

Does OUC have peak hours?

Not on the plans modeled here: RS charges the same price per kWh at every hour, so when you use power does not change the bill.

How OUC’s plans work

RS (Residential Electric Service (Orlando area)). In July the first 1,000 kWh a month cost 11.6¢ each; then 14.1¢ above 1,000 kWh a month. An average Florida home (1,477 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher. Fixed charge: $18.50 a month.

Prices on this page are all-in per kWh, before taxes: base rates, supply and every per-kWh rider in the utility’s current tariff sheets. Your bill shows them as separate lines, and riders can change between tariff revisions.

As a cross-check, OUC billed its residential customers an average of 15.24¢ per kWh in 2024 (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-861). A plan taken from URDB is shown only if its all-in price is consistent with that figure, adjusted for Florida’s price change since.

Sources for each plan

Plans marked “Checked” were transcribed from the utility’s current tariff and rider sheets, all charges included, and are re-checked on the date shown in each file. Other plans come from the OpenEI U.S. Utility Rate Database (CC BY 4.0) and have not yet been checked line by line against the utility’s tariff. Always confirm the current rates on your utility’s website before switching plans.
