Leesburg Electric Solar & Net Metering Guide
Last updated: July 13, 2026 by Goldin Solar
Leesburg Electric is the municipal electric utility for the City of Leesburg in Lake County. It is one of several small Lake County munis — administratively distinct from Duke Energy (which serves most of Lake County), SECO, and Mount Dora Electric. Leesburg Electric’s service is concentrated within Leesburg city limits and immediately adjacent areas.
Who Leesburg Electric serves
Leesburg Electric’s service territory covers:
– City of Leesburg — most/all addresses within city limits
– Adjacent unincorporated — limited; confirm current boundary with Leesburg Electric
Leesburg is NOT on Duke and NOT on SECO. Lake County hosts multiple utilities — verify from your power bill.
If you’re a Leesburg Electric customer, your net metering tariff is set by the Leesburg city commission, not the FL Public Service Commission.
Leesburg Electric net metering: the basics
- Eligibility: Customer-sited residential PV at premises within Leesburg Electric territory
- System size cap: Per Leesburg Electric net metering tariff; confirm current cap at application
- Bill credit structure: Per current tariff
- Annual true-up: Excess generation credited at FMPA wholesale rate (below retail); not retail-rate rollover. Leesburg is an FMPA member purchasing power wholesale — excess solar exported beyond monthly offset is purchased at the FMPA avoided/wholesale rate.
- Interconnection application: Required before installation
- PTO process: Leesburg Electric-managed meter swap and PTO
