News Releases

This weekend, Duke Energy lineworkers from across Florida advanced from the regional lineman’s rodeo to represent the company at the International Lineman’s Rodeo in Bonner Springs, Kansas, this fall, where they will compete against some of the best lineworkers in the world.

In 2025, Duke Energy Florida achieved the lowest average outage duration per customer in more than two decades. At approximately 64 minutes, this record metric – which excludes outage time caused by significant events like named storms – can be attributed, largely, to year-round grid hardening efforts across the state.

Floridians will likely see higher power bills after last week’s cold snap, but Duke Energy is here to help its customers with bill-payment resources and important fraud prevention information.

Duke Energy Florida has launched an energy-saving pilot project in the Hunter’s Creek neighborhood of Orlando. As part of the initiative, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have been installed in more than 75 participating single-family homes to help manage energy use and support the electric grid during high-demand periods.

Out of 2 million customers, more than 1.7 million Duke Energy Florida customers now benefit from self-healing technology. That’s 82% of our customers and more than double the number of customers who were served with the technology in 2020.

Customers’ actions helped lessen strain on the electric grid and supported reliable service during one of the coldest mornings of the season.

Las acciones de los clientes ayudaron a reducir la carga sobre la red eléctrica y contribuyeron a garantizar un servicio confiable durante una de las mañanas más frías de la temporada.

As Florida continues to experience the coldest air in the state since 2018, Duke Energy is asking all customers to voluntarily reduce their energy use from 5 to 9 a.m. EST on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026.

Como en Florida sigue haciendo un frío que no se había sentido en el estado desde 2018, Duke Energy solicita a todos los clientes que reduzcan voluntariamente su consumo de energía entre las 5:00 y las 9:00 de la mañana, hora del este, del lunes 2 de febrero de 2026.

Floridians can expect the arrival of the coldest air in the state in just under a decade this weekend – potentially 20-25 degrees below the average temperature for this time of year. As energy use rises, Duke Energy encourages customers to take advantage of easy-to-join programs and simple solutions to maximize savings on their bills.
