For decades, Tampa Electric has been committed to preserving and protecting West Central Florida’s natural resources. Our commitment to the environment is backed by our support for activities, initiatives and organizations that enhance the quality of our area’s natural resources. We are also proud sponsors of many community organizations and programs.
In west central Florida, Tampa Electric has initiated an Osprey program in its service area to make sure that these special neighbors choose nesting sites in safer environments.
Piney Point Bird Colony is home to a diverse collection of birds that nest on several small islands located within Tampa Electric’s Cockroach Bay property.
Newman Branch Creek, near Apollo Beach, Florida, is the site of a groundbreaking project to restore a once-thriving estuary and create nursery grounds for fish and other marine life.
The following organizations play an important role in reaching out to the community to further environmental aims:
Tampa Bay Parrot Heads in Paradise Club
Suncoast Earth Force
The Pinellas County Environmental Foundation and the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation
The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission/Florida Marine Research Institute
