USA, Florida: Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) is actively restoring power to impacted customers as Hurricane Helene affects the state. It has mobilized a restoration workforce of thousands, with crews actively restoring power if it’s safe to do so. Customers still need to be prepared for potential widespread, extended power outages and continue to keep safety first.
The hurricane brought devastating winds, heavy rainfall, flooding and dangerous storm surge throughout much of the state. Downed trees, flooding and other damage could delay restoration efforts.
“We have crews positioned throughout the state. They are actively responding and restoring power and will continue to do so as the weather allows. We will not stop until every customer is restored,” FPL President and CEO Armando Pimentel commented.
The utility is restoring power between bands of severe weather when it is safe to do so, pre-positioning damage assessment teams, including dozens of drone teams, to get the right crews in the right place for a quick restoration and also coordinating with local emergency management officials to clear roads for lineworkers.
