FPL helps eligible seniors access bill credits and ways to save

Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) is providing a one-time $200 bill credit to eligible seniors who previously received assistance through the Emergency Home Energy Assistance for the Elderly Program (EHEAP) within the past 24 months. The initiative, delivered through FPL Saving Steps, also includes practical energy-saving education to help reduce future energy costs. Dawn Nichols, FPL’s vice president of customer service, emphasized the program’s dual focus on immediate relief and long-term savings strategies.

The bill credits and education are part of FPL’s broader FPL Assistance Center, a centralized resource offering bill assistance, energy-saving programs, and local community support. The center aims to simplify access to help by consolidating multiple support options into a single platform. Customers can visit FPL.com/Assistance to explore available programs and resources tailored to their needs.

FPL Saving Steps is designed to assist a wide range of households, including seniors, working families, and others who may not qualify for government assistance. The program combines a one-time $200 credit with energy-saving education to help customers manage monthly expenses more effectively. Eligibility is not limited to seniors, encouraging broader participation in energy-saving initiatives.

FPL operates as America’s largest electric utility, serving over 6 million customer accounts across Florida with a diverse energy mix including solar and battery storage. The company has earned multiple reliability awards while maintaining residential bills below the national average.
