Floridians know how to weather a storm, but no one could have forecast the challenges 2020 would bring.
FPL has a long history of stepping in and stepping up to serve customers and the larger community. From championing education and the arts to creating programming to assist customers in need, FPL is making a difference in Broward County and beyond.
Early on during the COVID-19 pandemic, FPL fast-tracked savings for customers and suspended disconnects for non-payment. The company continues to work with individuals and small businesses experiencing hardship by offering payment extensions, waiving late fees and helping
connect customers to financial assistance resources. Overall, FPL and its parent company NextEra Energy, Inc., have introduced initiatives and programs valued at more than $75 million for its communities.
At Florida Power & Light Company, we’re continuing to do everything we can to support our customers and communities during these unprecedented times,” says Pam Rauch, FPL vice president of External Affairs and Economic Development. “We have a duty to serve and know how fundamental electric service is to our customers.”
