Want to understand the charges on your bill?
See the Florida City Gas Rate Schedules & Tariff Guide →Interval Data & Smart Meters
Interval data (15- or 30-minute) is not available through the FCG portal or any third-party channel. Meters are FCG property, read electronically (AMR) on a monthly cycle for billing; consumption visibility is limited to monthly readings on bills. Commercial transportation customers enrolled in the Gas Tracking System get daily/monthly consumption for nomination and balancing purposes.
Interval data is essential for rate comparison and TOU analysis.
