How will FPL address our concerns related to transmission line aesthetics?
As homeowners and residents of communities served by FPL as well, we share the desire for an aesthetically pleasing community. Electric lines, however, must go somewhere. Typically, FPL’s engineers will find routes that follow busy roadways. They will also look for opportunities to rebuild existing lines or build alongside existing lines. When constructing new lines, they may incorporate smaller distribution lines on the same poles to reduce the clutter of multiple lines in an area. Once the route is sited, careful placement of individual poles-such as around neighborhood entrances and adjacent to property lines-may also sometimes be used to minimize the transmission line’s effect on the appearance of an area. FPL crews will clean up and restore the area where improvements have been made. Further, we are asking the community to help us by sharing their concerns and giving us an opportunity to address these as we serve you.
