Distributed Generation Bill Breakdown

We know understanding your distributed generation bill and the calculations on that bill is important to you. Unlike the JEA bill you might have received previously, a distributed generation bill shows the amount of energy JEA delivered to you and the amount of energy that JEA received from you.

IMPORTANT: The below sample bill includes elements based on new rate adjustments approved by the JEA board of directors on March 25, 2025, and effective April 1, 2025. Learn more at jea.com/value.
