Florida: official power outage sources
Four investor-owned utilities serve much of Florida: Florida Power & Light, Duke Energy Florida, Tampa Electric and Florida Public Utilities. Florida also has 32 city-owned systems and 16 electric cooperatives, one of them based in Georgia. The Florida Public Service Commission oversees the investor-owned utilities and publishes storm reports during major events.

If your power is out
- Stay away from downed lines and anything touching them. Call 911.
- Report it to your own utility. The name and outage phone number are on your electric bill. Do not assume a neighbor has reported it.
- Check your utility's outage page for the area affected and any restoration estimate. Only your utility can give that estimate.
