Florida Power & Light has launched an online Assistance Center to help residents manage monthly energy costs. The platform aggregates various company programs, federal resources, and local nonprofit aid into a single digital location.
Why it matters
The center was created to provide customers with greater bill payment flexibility and support for essential living expenses like rent and mortgage. By centralizing these tools, the utility aims to help residents find energy savings and manage their accounts during periods of financial stress.
The new portal features the FPL Saving Steps program, which provides eligible customers a one-time $200 bill credit. Additionally, the existing FPL On Call program continues to offer over $90 in annual bill credits for participating households.
