How Do I Report a Power Outage to Florida Power & Light?

1. Find the circuit breakers for your area and turn each circuit breaker off one after the other
2. Reset your main circuit breaker or main line switch by turning the breaker off and then on twice. Leave the breaker in the on position. Your main circuit breaker may not be inside your circuit breaker panel and may be located outside or near your electric meter. If it is, don't tamper with your meter and instead open the panel beside the meter to access the main breaker.
3. Turn each individual circuit breaker on inside the panel one by one. Your power should be restored. You should not use any tools to adjust the circuit breakers as they can be easily accessed by hand or stand in water when turning the breakers on or off.
