Well, according to ... http://www.fpl.com/rates/pdf/electric_tariff_section8.pdf, Residential TOU section
The additional charges chart has me a bit confused. I think it means that when you have residential TOU (RS-1 w/ RTR-1) you'll pay the same additional fees per kWh 2.947c|3.947c+0.337c + 0.786c + 0.224c = 4.294c|5.294c <=1000|>1000 and then on top of that +1.410c or -0.602c for on-peak and off-peak respectively.
The challenge is knowing your overall pattern of use. It's easy if they've installed a smart meter and you have it online. Up here in the cold corner, a CMP customer rep suggested to me that the TOU delivery wouldn't be worth it, but it is as our Volt just tips our use as the extra off-peak kWh just outweigh the additional ~$5 monthly fee, and save us $1 to $2/mo. If I also commuted in a PEV it'd be a total no-brainer.

...
Customer Charge: $11.90
...
If the Customer elects to make a lump sum payment to the Company for time of use metering costs of $259.68, then the Customer Charge and Minimum Charge shall be $7.57. (Ed: that's the same as the basic charge, so TOU is an extra $4.33 per month. If you pay the lump sum you'll get your money back in 5 years, so would be worth it over the long term.)
RATING PERIODS:
