Meet Our Heroes of Energy Generation: The People Behind the Power

Behind every megawatt of power is a person who makes it possible.

From advanced control systems to innovative water treatment to solar generation, our teams work across technologies – and across West Central Florida – to keep the energy flowing. But what really powers it all is the people.

That’s why we’re spotlighting a few of our Heroes of Energy Generation – team members who bring experience, curiosity and pride to their work every day.

Meet the four people behind the power we’re spotlighting this year.

 

Decades of experience. Zero loss of enthusiasm.

Meet Frank Long, an instrument and controls technician at our Big Bend Power Station.

 

Where water flows, and innovation follows.

Meet Kevin Kleist, an environmental coordinator at our Polk Power Station.

 

Two F-16 engines, one essential role.

Meet Scott Cermak, a controls analyst at our Big Bend Power Station.

 

From Sunshine State roots to solar power overseer.

Meet David Hodges, a solar power plant supervisor in Polk County.

 

Different roles and different paths, but one shared purpose.

Frank, Kevin, Scott and David each play a unique part in keeping energy flowing and powering the communities we serve. It’s their expertise, pride and dedication – and that of many others like them – that make the difference every day.
