How often is line-clearing completed?
We’ve examined our processes and developed a line-clearing schedule that enhances our system’s reliability while focusing our resources efficiently and wisely. On average, the main power lines (feeders) are cleared every three years and the neighborhood power lines (laterals) are cleared every six years. FPL completes the majority of scheduled line clearing before the height of storm season to help minimize the amount of debris that can fly into poles and wires during the windy weather.
