To begin your outdoor lighting project with FPL, apply online. FPL will install outdoor lights at existing properties with an active FPL account and at locations where an existing FPL utility pole exists and is accessible to trucks. The FPL Lighting Department will review your application and coordinate your request.
FPL can provide you with this lighting if your home or property is currently being served from a utility pole on or adjacent to your property. The light’s illumination pattern must be oriented toward the structure or property and not toward the street. Please secure your neighbors approval for the installation of the light. Download and upload your Outdoor Lighting form to the FPL Project Portal. The FPL Lighting Department will review and contact you regarding your request.
To ensure a success project, please consider the following items:
• Review lighting offerings to determine what best meets your needs
• Understand FPL and customer responsibilities
• Verify proposed light location has an existing accessible utility pole
Once the project is created, the outdoor lighting request moves into the pre-construction phase. At this stage, a baseline scope and an estimated timeline should be established. Any changes to the scope or schedule may jeopardize the mutually agreed upon in-service date.
To begin your street lighting/area lighting project with FPL, apply online. FPL provides lighting options for public and private streets, as well as accessible common areas and parking lots to increase visibility from dusk to dawn. FPL will install light fixtures on existing FPL poles, customer owned poles, or install new poles in areas designated by you. After the lights are installed, we will own and maintain the lighting system and simply charge you a monthly fee, including maintenance and electric use.
Your application should be submitted in the early stages of your lighting project. The FPL Lighting Department will review your application and coordinate your request.
If your streetlight/area light request is part of a new construction project (i.e. subdivision, new building, etc.) or road widening request, the streetlights/area lights are requested during the development/planning stage of that project to ensure lighting locations have power sources. You would not need to make a separate streetlight/area light request through the FPL project portal.
Once your application has been submitted, the following information for your streetlight/area light request must be gathered and provided to the FPL Lighting Department:
FPL accepts two types of easements recorded in the public records department of the county. A formal easement accurately describes the area within a specific parcel of property. A platted easement is an agreed upon area in the parcel of property that is reserved for the installation of public utilities. The platted easement is completed before the plat process is finished.
The FPL Lighting Department will also review and discuss any construction fees related to your project. For a list of available streetlight/area light options, view the LED Catalogue.
It’s important that you and FPL are fully aligned for successful completion of the project. During this step, FPL will define the project scope, cost and schedule. FPL will also prepare engineering and construction prints, determine construction fees, execute project agreements, and complete an inventory of required materials.
The following items may be considered:
Once the project plan is created, the project moves into the pre-construction phase. At this stage, a baseline project scope and an estimated timeline should be established. Any changes to the scope or schedule may jeopardize the mutually agreed upon in-service date.
Prior to construction, the FPL Lighting Department will review the final steps needed for FPL to begin your project. The following items will be considered:
Prior to beginning work, FPL Lighting Department may schedule a pre-construction on-site meeting to discuss the site conditions, job site access and special requirements. A final review of the construction schedule will be performed. Once the new installation is approved and the job site is ready, work can begin.

When connecting new equipment and new customers to the electrical grid, FPL conducts a grid system check to ensure the installation of safe, reliable power. Once the new installation is approved and the job site is ready, work can begin. FPL typically installs and energizes the main power lines and transformers first. This is also known as “feeder and backbone installation.” The secondary and service wires and cables are installed after the feeder and backbone installation.
Your project will have many metered installations. For every metered location (i.e. homes, recreation center, lift station, guard house, etc.) FPL will need a unique address. The service and meter to each metered location will only be installed or connected once the transformer serving the meter is energized, typically 7-10 business days from the date FPL is notified that the meter can is ready to receive service.
You are responsible for arranging inspections of the electric panel for each residential and non-residential service by the governing authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Once inspections have been completed and approved, contact FPL to schedule the service connection and meter installation.
FPL will use the U.S. postal address provided for each metered location to establish a billing account. To open a new FPL customer billing account, visit FPL.com or contact Customer Service at 1-800-226-3545. A security deposit will be required. The new billing account will become active after FPL receives the electrical inspection from the governing authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) and after we install the energized service and meter.
Your overhead service is the wire that comes from the power line or pole near your house or building to your meter. This type of conversion changes your equipment from a wall/roof mounted weatherhead to a wall mounted downpipe.
To begin your project with FPL, apply online. You will need the FPL metered account address served by an overhead service wire to apply for a service conversion.
To convert service to underground, you will need to:
FPL will confirm your appointment date and time and plan the FPL conversion work with sufficient time for you to install the conduit and for FPL to inspect installation. Typical appointments are available two to three weeks from the site-ready date. Your appointment date and time will only be assigned once payment has been received and the conduit has been installed to FPL specifications. Your FPL project manager will contact you to discuss specifics, including payment, material pickup and scheduling.
These additional items will be considered:
Once the project plan is created, the project moves into the pre-construction phase. At this stage in the project a baseline project scope and an estimated timeline should be established. Any changes to the scope or schedule may jeopardize the mutually agreed upon appointment date.
Prior to construction, your project manager will review with you and your team the final steps needed for FPL to begin. This includes collecting the required tariff fee and the completion of the customer installation work. You should also arrange for the governing authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) to inspect the electric panel on the day of the appointment. Once all of the pre-construction requirements have been met, FPL will assign the appointment to a crew. Appointments will usually occur within two to three weeks of your request.
The following items will be considered:
On the appointment day and time, the crew will arrive to disconnect and remove the overhead facilities, install the underground cable in the conduit you installed, connect the underground service and set a meter once an electrical inspection is received from the governing authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
FPL will only convert FPL facilities. If you wish to convert facilities belonging to other utilities, you will need to work with the other utilities to complete that work.
