Project Summary: | Florida Power & Light Company, located in Miami, Florida, has been awarded $200 million in funding to develop a smarter, more efficient energy grid. The U.S. Department of Energy selected Florida Power & Light as one of 100 companies to receive federal stimulus funds as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Energy Smart Florida is a comprehensive project beginning in 2010, to advance implementation of the Smart Grid, including installing over 2.6 million smart meters, 9,000 intelligent distribution devices, 45 phasors, and advanced monitoring equipment in over 270 substations. By incorporating intelligence into the transmission, distribution and customer systems, the utility will be able to anticipate and respond to grid disturbances, empower customers through alternative rate programs, and enable the integration of renewable and on-site energy sources.
