Committed to powering your life
Your Tampa Electric bill supports safe, reliable power you can count on—24/7/365—and ongoing investments that strengthen the grid and reduce outages. Because West Central Florida experiences warm weather and high cooling demand most of the year, we’re also focused on operating efficiently and providing tools and programs that help customers manage energy use and costs today.
Strengthening for dependable energy and lower costs
Fewer outages, faster restoration and lower repair costs are critical when severe weather hits. That’s why we strengthen the grid year-round by trimming trees, upgrading poles and power lines, moving select lines underground and protecting equipment from flooding. We’re also using smart technology to reduce outages and resolve them faster with lower overhead costs.
Modernizing for efficiency and long-term savings
We’re making our power plants more efficient to reduce long-term costs. In 2025, we added a new power station and optimized all others. Our 2022 Big Bend Power Plant modernization alone is expected to save customers $700 million in fuel costs over its lifetime.
Our solar energy investments have also saved customers hundreds of millions of dollars by avoiding fuel costs. Using solar energy also delays the need to build additional power plants. To further these savings, we’re generating even more electricity from the sun and storing solar energy to use at night and during periods of high demand.
