Beaches Energy Services
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
In its Form EIA-861 filing for 2024, Beaches Energy Services, a municipal utility, reported 30,358 residential customers in Florida, with a service territory that touches 2 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 12.38¢ per kilowatthour, 12% below the Florida average of 14.14¢ and 25% below the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $150.51 a month on average use of 1,216 kWh a month. Across Florida the average bill was $156.09 on 1,104 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 50.1 minutes per customer with major event days included, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Florida utilities reporting was 723.1 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 93% below that median.
The average price is up 16.4% on 2019, against up 20.9% for Florida as a whole, and down 16.5% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 11.97¢.

Bundled residential service only in the price, bill and use columns. Bill = residential revenue ÷ customers ÷ 12; use = residential sales ÷ customers ÷ 12. EIA describes its early release as not fully edited; it is shown for this utility alone and enters no average, median or rank on this site.
Sales by sector, 2024
| Sector | Customers | Sales | Share of sales | Revenue | ¢ per kWh, bundled |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 30,358 | 442.9 GWh | 60% | $54,832,000 | 12.38¢ |
| Commercial | 5,618 | 289.6 GWh | 40% | $38,357,000 | 13.24¢ |
Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 746.3 GWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 746.3 GWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 169 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 0.66 interruptions per customer with major event days; CAIDI 76.0 minutes per interruption. EIA's Florida total across all reporting utilities was 1,321.5 minutes with major event days and 66.4 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.
