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.
OUC CCR Rule Compliance
OUC has a dry storage area at the Curtis H. Stanton Energy Center, the Combustion Waste Storage Area, which stores fixated combustion waste materials and is in accordance with the Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Rule requirements.
Service You Can Rely On
Reliability doesn’t just mean keeping the power on but also constantly improving our technology and services.
Hardening the Grid
OUC maintains and upgrades poles, transformers and other components of electric infrastructure to withstand extreme weather conditions like hurricanes.
Tree & Vegetation Management
Year-round pruning and maintenance of trees and vegetation near power lines is crucial to prevent branches from causing outages.
Smart Technologies
Smart meters, aerial drones and emerging technologies are powerful tools for improving the reliability of OUC’s electric system.
Proactive Customer Communication
Automated systems, such as OUC Alerts, keep customers informed about outage status, estimated restoration times and any actions they need to take should they experience a service disruption.
