Ensuring Reliable Service

At FPL, we understand how much you depend on your electric service.

That’s why we’re committed to building a stronger, smarter and more storm-resilient grid to deliver electricity you can count on in good weather and bad.

We’ve made significant investments to strengthen our electric system and make it more resilient to hurricanes and severe weather. We also continue to deploy innovative, industry-leading solutions to improve the grid – investments that are paying off every day for our customers with better service reliability. And, when outages occur, these improvements help us restore your power faster.

Here are some of the ways we strengthen the system:

  • Inspect power poles and replace those that don’t meet our standards for strength.
  • Continue hardening our main power lines that serve critical community services, such as hospitals, police and fire stations and emergency communication systems.
  • Expanding our Storm Secure Underground Program, which follows a data-driven approach to systemically install more resilient underground power lines in neighborhoods throughout our service area.
  • Inspect power lines using infrared camera technology to help us locate otherwise undetectable issues and address them before they cause an outage.
  • Invest in smart grid technology that helps identify and diagnose equipment issues early so we can service them proactively, preventing many outages before they occur.
  • Use artificial-intelligence technology to identify, maintain and limit the impact of trees and debris that make contact with FPL equipment.
