Florida Power & Light Co

What This Utility Data Tells You

Florida Power & Light Co is an investor-owned utility operating in Florida under EIA identifier 6452. It reports service to approximately 5,811,951 customer accounts and generated about $17.00 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 500 ZIP codes. Because it is investor-owned, the state public utility commission oversees its rate cases and reliability performance rather than a local board.

In 2023, the average Florida Power & Light Co customer experienced 78.3 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.64, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 49.7 minutes; the difference from the headline 78.3 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Florida Power & Light Co, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 69.7 to 78.3 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
