We’re building a more resilient grid.
We work year-round to strengthen our grid for fewer outages, faster restoration and lower repair costs from severe weather. To deliver reliable power in blue skies and gray, we’re:
- Trimming trees that can cause outages
- Undergrounding select power lines
- Upgrading and modernizing equipment and power poles
- Protecting critical infrastructure from flooding
We restore power safely and efficiently.
After a power outage, we follow a proven process that prioritizes safety, essential services and restoring power to the greatest number of customers as quickly and safely as possible.

We’re committed to protecting the natural resources and wildlife that make our region unique. We invite you to explore the Florida Conservation and Technology Center, home to our award-winning Manatee Viewing Center and our Tom Hernandez Clean Energy Center. You’ll find research, habitat restoration, help for endangered species, education and fun from Tampa Electric, the Florida Aquarium and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

We understand that life can be challenging at times, and we can help. We offer a variety of payment options, including flexible payment plans and our Share program to help customers facing a crisis, and we’ve partnered with organizations that offer further support and services.
