How many miles of community power lines (distribution) does FPL have in its system?
FPL has approximately 65,000 miles of distribution lines serving its 4.2 million customers in all or parts of 35 counties in Florida. (We also have about 6,500 miles of transmission.) More than one-third of FPL’s system — or in excess of 24,000 miles — is underground. Often it’s as a result of municipalities having set underground requirements, the costs of which are borne by builders and developers and ultimately by customers in the price they pay for real estate. However, it’s important to remember that lines eventually come above ground, so no system is totally underground.
