Florida Power & Light Company is the largest electric utility in Florida and one of the largest rate-regulated utilities in the United States. FPL serves 4.6 million customer accounts in Florida and is a leading employer in the state with approximately 10,000 employees. The company consistently outperforms national averages for service reliability while its typical customer bills are 25 percent below the national average.

In addition, FPL offers an economic development rider for commercial and industrial businesses that provides significant savings above and beyond the company’s very competitive electric rates. Businesses wishing to take advantage of the rider will be required to add a minimum of 350 kilowatt demand of new electric load and create at least 25 new jobs per 350 kilowatt demand of added load. Companies receive declining discounts on their standard base energy and demand charges over four years; the discount increases to five years if the company moves into a vacant, existing building. These savings help offset the costs of starting up, expanding or moving their operations to Sarasota County.

A clean energy leader, FPL has one of the lowest emissions profiles and one of the leading energy efficiency programs among utilities nationwide. FPL is a subsidiary of Juno Beach, Fla.-based NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE). For more information, visit www.FPL.com.
