At Tampa Electric, we're committed to delivering 99.98% service reliability in blue skies and gray. That’s why we’re investing $150 million a year for the next 10 years in our Storm Protection Plan (SPP). Our plan strengthens power poles, modernizes infrastructure, undergrounds powerlines and trims trees to reduce:

  • Momentary flickers by more than 50%.
  • Tree-related outages by 40%.
  • Power restoration times.
  • Storm-related restoration expenses.
