We prepare your round for storm season and do everything we can to be ready before, during and after a storm hits. As part of our ongoing efforts, we're investing more than $200 million in 2009 alone to make our infrastructure stronger and more reliable, in good weather and bad. Since no electrical system can ever be 100 percent storm proof, it's also important for you to take the time to prepare now. Please visit the FPL Storm Center online for a comprehensive guide to preparing for storm season.

FPL uses a diverse mix of fuels at its power plants to generate reliable electricity. Because of its fuel mix, FPL is recognized as a clean-energy company, with one of the lowest emissions profiles among U.S. utilities. In fact, coal – the highest carbon-emitting fuel – makes up almost 50 percent of the national fuel mix. By comparison, FPL currently obtains most of its electricity (52 percent) from clean-burning natural gas. Nuclear power, which produces no greenhouse gas emissions, is responsible for another significant portion (19 percent) of power production. As Florida continues to grow, it is FPL’s responsibility to plan new power plants to ensure that electricity needs are met while preserving Florida’s environment. FPL is working with state regulators to find a balanced approach by considering the benefits of each type of fuel source to continue to supply reliable, clean energy at a stable price.
