Delivering Power to Central Florida

Generation

A diverse network of generation plants and solar energy facilities spread across Central Florida generates safe, clean, reliable and affordable energy for customers.

Transmission

After the electricity is generated, it enters nearly 400 circuit miles of high-voltage transmission lines.

Distribution

The electricity voltage is stepped down to safe levels and travels through more than 2,600 circuit miles of distribution lines—above and underground—to reach homes and businesses.

Evolving Fuel Diversity

A winning combination of coal, natural gas, landfill gas and solar energy provides affordable rates and a reliable, clean and well-diversified power supply.
