Florida Power and Light (FPL) is upgrading neighborhoods in Coral Gables. In 2025, FPL plans to make the following upgrades in Coral Gables as part of its ongoing commitment to reduce outages and restore power faster following major storms:
• Eight main power lines will be strengthened, including those that serve critical facilities such as hospitals, 911 call centers, police and fire stations, water treatment facilities, and county emergency operation centers. Stronger poles can help speed restoration times following a storm.
• 98 miles of power lines will undergo inspection or vegetation trimming – addressing one of the leading causes of power outages.
• 6,880 power poles in Coral Gables will be inspected, strengthening or replacing those that no longer meet FPL’s industry-leading standards.
• Three intelligent devices will be installed as part of smart grid technology upgrades on main, neighborhood and underground power lines. These automated smart switches help identify outages and reroute power to prevent more widespread interruptions.
“Our dedicated team is committed to providing customers in Coral Gables… with safe and reliable electric service while keeping bills as low as possible,” said Addys Kuryla, local external affairs manager for FPL. “Although no energy grid is storm proof, these upgrades have improved service reliability by more than 40 percent in the past two decades enhancing reliability day-to-day and during hurricanes and severe weather for our customers.”
