You know how important it is to have the resources you need in your business to get the job done. For us, this means preparing year-round for storm season and always ensuring we’re armed with the most advanced technology to detect and prevent problems, reduce outages and respond faster when you need us.

We’re building a stronger and smarter system that will help us get power back on faster after severe weather. It’s why we’ve invested more than $2 billion since Hurricane Wilma to strengthen the electric grid and work every day to make the system even stronger.

Preparation also means ensuring thousands of our employees are ready to serve when you need us most. See how we train and prepare for storm season: FPL.com/ready

Energy Answers

Q At my business, our air conditioning seems to run for quite a while, particularly in the morning. Is this normal? Kathy C., Stuart

A In hotter months, your HVAC system can run up to twice

as long as it does in cooler months. That’s because, as the days get longer and hotter, the cooling system in your business needs to run longer to keep employees and customers comfortable. Your A/C may also run longer in the morning if the thermostat was raised to a higher temperature or turned off overnight. Learn how you can cool your office efficiently this summer:

Storm charge adjustment A routine adjustment to the storm charge portion of your bill takes effect this month. Adjusted up and down periodically during the year with Florida Public Service Commission approval, this charge helps pay for previous hurricane restoration costs and replenish the reserve for future storms. Effective June 1, the storm charge rate will increase slightly from $1.88 to $2.01 per 1,500 kWh for small, non-demand business customers. View information about your rates: FPL.com/rates
