  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (19)Oyster Assassin (@OysterAssassin) reported

    @insideFPL No need. I called and actually reached a live person who informed me "this is FPL policy". Piss-poor policy. Can't wait to get our local power co-op so FPL won't be able to rip us off anymore.

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (20)Martha lisa king jr (@EbonDROPyADDie) reported

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (21)Jen Perelman (@JENFL23) reported

    @tomaskenn @insideFPL 3 Dem Senators voted YES to help pass this anti-solar bill when 3 GOP Senators voted NO.Would not have passed otherwise, we must keep it 💯 @tomaskenn. FPL owns both sides, even if they own more of the GOP.

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (23)Wininsky (@Hako_Late) reported

    As the @insideFPL technician informed me, the AC is 95% of the electrical flow costs. Nothing is expensive about your Tesla bulbs (not @Tesla but the wattage types). Cooking is nominal as is refrigeration. The AC totals at numbers equal to 95% of the power surcharge. @FBIMiamiFL

    @insideFPL Sitting in the dark in #BoyntonBeach.Just found out that 20,000 home effected. Fairly amazing how an outage of this size doesn't show up on the #FLP outage map, but one house out in Delray does. Good job guys!

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (26)EW (@emwinfl) reported

    @insideFPL tried to cancel service for my mother who just passed. But you won’t do it without her last 2 bills. Like I have that? So fine, just keep billing a dead person. #CorporateGreed

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (33)🦚Dustin feels like a SEC Champ (@DMichaud28) reported

    @insideFPL Yall are the biggest joke of a company I have ever dealt with. No customer service phone line, takes 30 minutes to pay the bill. Even then sometimes it hangs up or kicks you off the website. Oh and ur stealing money from struggling people with your monopoly. 🖕

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (34)Kim Winburn (@winburn_kim) reported

    @Pmfjfla @GovRonDeSantis @insideFPL Really? Wow! And they don’t encourage solar power in the “Sunshine State”! So ridiculous!

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (35)Paula Green (@PaulaGreen200) reported

    @insideFPL must say I’m extremely disappointed in the response to the outside power cable issue coming from the pole at my residence today. Was told it would be done at 2:00 and now no one will answer my calls for an update. Will fpl pay for a hotel for the night?

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (36)Dale Johnson ✝️🇺🇸🦅⚜️ (@DaleJ_1031) reported

    @MagicThomson12 @PeterZeihan @insideFPL As FPL sucks economic resources out of NWFL.

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (37)Tauno.Wickman (@TaunoWickman) reported

    @NathanMackBrown Not in Florida (of all places!) @insideFPL Florida Power & Light pay lobbyists to write bills killing off any incentives to use solar. Worse yet, FP&L pays people with the same last name as Dem candidates to dilute the votes. Money is the bottomline since their CEO makes $7M/yr.

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (38)17 don (@Caseeme17) reported

    @insideFPL @SunSentinel @orlandosentinel Y’all have the rudest most unmotivated group of individuals worst customer service in the world lol please invest in computers/reboots

    @insideFPL Sucks! My power has gone off & on 25 times on the last hour! @insideFPL is trying to fry all the appliances in my house! #FPLSucks

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (41)Brian Crisher (@BCrisher) reported

    Seriously @insideFPL, our power has flashed over 15 times since 1:30am. Just leave it off for an hour and fix things properly. This is ridiculous.

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (42)Oyster Assassin (@OysterAssassin) reported

    @insideFPL Hey FPL - why am I being charged another deposit just to move my service to a new address?

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (43)Edward Mauri (@emauri0228) reported

    @insideFPL This is getting out of hand and needs to be fixed immediately. For the last 2 hrs we’ve been on and off every 5 to 10 min.

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (44)Bless your heart (@lisamom) reported

    @insideFPL ya’ll need to get with the program and have a contractor line like @DukeEnergy it would be easier to call the Pope to get a temp disconnect reconnected

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (45)jon saavedra (@jonsaavedra3) reported

    @insideFPL You sure make it tough to be of help

  • Florida Power & Light Outage: Current Problems and Outages (46)Julz (@Cr3ative_Juls) reported

    @insideFPL I love how quickly that bill comes but, there is a power outage and it's "sorry you're going to have to wait 5-6 hours to get it back" Who's going to return the hours of sleep I just lost. Excellent service.
