Latest Update: Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) has restored power to more than 1.9 million customers and is concentrating resources on the most severely affected areas by Hurricane Milton. The remaining outages are largely concentrated in areas with significant storm damage. FPL remains fully committed to restoring electricity to the approximately 69,000 customers still without power, deploying teams methodically neighborhood by neighborhood until all customers have their power back.

Important Note: Some homes and businesses may require repairs from licensed electricians before FPL can safely restore power. These customers should contact a certified electrician to address any necessary repairs. However, if your neighbors have power and you do not, or if you live in an area that has been "essentially restored," please call us at 1-800-4-OUTAGE (1-800-468-8243).

Numbers as of the 5 p.m. report:

  • More than 1.9 million customers now have their power restored, which is over 95% of those affected by Milton.
  • Nearly 69,000 customers remain without power.
  • About 554,000 outages were avoided thanks to smart technology.
  • A workforce of 20,000 men and women from 41 states and Canada continues to work around the clock.
  • 25 temporary operation and staging sites.
  • 22 customer assistance locations across the state.

Statement from FPL President and CEO Armando Pimentel: “Our crews have worked tirelessly to restore power to more than 1.9 million customers. There is still work to be done in some of the hardest-hit areas. I want to assure everyone that our crews will not stop until every customer has electricity.”

Support Available: Some FPL customers may qualify for financial assistance to help cover costs associated with making their homes safe for electricity through FPL’s Care to Share® program. This program is for customers who need repairs to damaged meter boxes and weather heads. Customers can apply for assistance at FPL.com/help. Those wishing to support hurricane victims can also contribute to the Care to Share program there.

What Customers Should Do After the Storm:

  • Safety is FPL's top priority for its crews and customers. Continue following local emergency officials' advisories.
  • Drive cautiously. Power outages can cause traffic signals to stop functioning unexpectedly. If you approach an intersection with a non-functioning signal, treat it as a four-way stop under Florida law.
  • If using a portable generator, follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use. Never operate a generator inside your home or garage.
  • Stay far away from downed power lines, flooding, and debris. Assume all power lines are energized.
  • In case of an emergency, call 911.
  • Customers can report downed power lines or sparking electrical equipment by calling 1-800-4-OUTAGE (1-800-468-8243).
