Florida Power and Light

According to Florida Power & Light, a power outage related to the Corkscrew substation is affecting more than 3,000 users, including FGCU’s campus buildings and residential halls.

State regulators Tuesday approved a plan that will trim Florida Power & Light customers’ monthly bills because of lower-than-expected natural gas costs, while Duke Energy Florida and Tampa Electric Co. said they will seek similar reductions.Meanwhile, Duke and Tampa Electric separately filed proposals that would increase base electric rates from 2025 to 2027. The proposals will kickstart complicated months-long processes that will include the Florida Public Service Commission and representatives of consumers and business customers examining the details.

The secret to a quicker hurricane recovery is hidden in the ground — at least if you ask FPL. The power company is promoting a new program to convince homeowners in older neighborhoods to do away with their overhead powerlines and agree to have them buried in the ground. The company said its research on power outages is clear.

State regulators Tuesday approved a settlement that will lead to Florida Power & Light providing a $5 million credit to customers in a case involving what are known as “replacement” power costs because of outages at nuclear plants.

Pointing to lower-than-expected costs of natural gas, Florida Power & Light on Wednesday asked state regulators to approve a proposal that would reduce customer bills in May.If approved by the Florida Public Service Commission, the reduction would come after FPL customers also will see bills trimmed in April because of the end of charges stemming from storm-related costs.

Florida Power & Light Company volunteers will participate in FPL’s annual Power to Care Week. Marking the week-long initiative’s sixteenth year, hundreds of volunteers will come together as part of its commitment to power strong communities by making Florida an even better place to live, work and raise a family.

FPL's plan, which the state Public Service Commission unanimously supported without discussion, will reduce customers’ monthly bills starting in May — and partially offset increases that took effect in April.

An FPL proposal filed with the Florida Public Service Commission would reduce the fuel charge on the typical 1,000-kWh residential customer bill by $4.43 a month, including taxes and fees, from May through December – reflecting a second downward revision in projected natural gas costs for 2023 after last year's high levels.

On Monday a group of about 30 Florida Power & Light employees, friends and neighbors donated their time of decorate the Port Charlotte home of Leah and Justin Hessinger and their children, Faith, 14, and Carter, 5.

Florida Power & Light Company plans to refund nearly $400 million to its 5.8 million customers, money to be given back as a result of savings from the new federal tax law.
