How Trees Affect Your Electricity
At FPL, we realize how important trees and landscaping are to you and your neighborhood. We also understand the need for uninterrupted power. When trees grow into or near power lines, they can cause power interruptions. In order to provide safe and reliable electric service, FPL has developed a comprehensive program to trim trees and keep them from interfering with our electrical lines and equipment.
