JUNO BEACH, Fla., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), a subsidiary of NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE), announced it is doubling funding for FPL Saving Steps from $15 million to $30 million. The program combines energy-saving education with a $200 bill credit for eligible customers.

"We understand that every dollar matters," said Dawn Nichols, vice president of customer service at FPL. "That's why we're expanding Saving Steps to help more customers today and give them practical tools that can help them use less energy over time."

FPL is focused on managing the costs it can control while giving customers more ways to manage their own energy use. By operating more efficiently, FPL helps keep the typical 1,000-kwh residential bill about 37% lower than an average utility. Saving Steps builds on that work by providing eligible customers with help today and practical energy-saving guidance they can continue using to save in the long-term.

"We meet families every day who are doing everything they can to keep up with expenses, and a program like this can mean so much," said Capt. Andrea Israel, acting Florida divisional secretary for program at The Salvation Army. "Many may not realize they qualify for Saving Steps. The bill credit can provide relief, while the energy-saving guidance can help families feel more confident and in control in the months ahead."

FPL has already provided automatic Saving Steps credits to eligible seniors who received assistance through the Emergency Home Energy Assistance for the Elderly Program (EHEAP), as well as qualifying customers following Hurricane Isaias. With expanded funding, FPL can now provide relief to even more eligible households.

Saving Steps is available to eligible customers at or below their county's United Way ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) threshold which includes many seniors and working families such as teachers and first responders who may not typically qualify for assistance.
