What businesses in West Palm Beach pay
Across Florida, businesses paid an average 11.74¢ per kWh over the 12 months to August 2026, 15.4% below the U.S. average of 13.87¢, and up 4.1% on the 12 months before. That ranks Florida 30 of 51, where 1 is the highest price. In 2025 the average commercial account in the state used 6,334 kWh a month, about $730 a month at the state price; that is a mean pulled up by a few very large users, so most small businesses use less.
A city has no price of its own: two businesses on the same street can pay very different amounts per kWh, because the rate schedule, the size of the peak and, where it is allowed, the supply contract matter more than the location. The Florida page has the state’s price history since 2010 and every utility with at least 500 commercial customers.
Choosing a supplier in West Palm Beach
Florida commercial accounts buy supply from their regulated utility. With no supply market to shop, the controllable costs are demand charges, rate schedule fit, load profile and resilience planning.

Common questions
- Who provides electricity to businesses in West Palm Beach?
- EIA lists Florida Power & Light and City of Lake Worth Beach as electric utilities in Palm Beach County. Which one serves a given address depends on the street; the utility on an existing bill is the definitive answer, and a utility can confirm service for a new site.

EIA publishes prices by state and by utility: Florida Power & Light averaged 10.94¢ per kWh for its commercial customers in 2025, and Florida averaged 11.74¢ over the 12 months to August 2026. A business’s own price depends on its rate schedule, its demand and, where it can choose, its supply contract.
- Can a business in West Palm Beach choose its electricity supplier?
- Florida commercial accounts buy supply from their regulated utility. With no supply market to shop, the controllable costs are demand charges, rate schedule fit, load profile and resilience planning. The state page for Florida explains how it works and who regulates it.
