The initiative aimed to engage the community by providing practical energy-saving tips and valuable resources to help households lower their electricity bills.

FPL’s team of energy experts led interactive sessions on reducing energy consumption, offering attendees insights on cost-saving strategies. As part of the event, many residents signed up for free in-home installations of energy-efficient items, including LED lighting, advanced power strips, and energy-efficient showerheads.

Beyond energy savings, the event also underscored FPL’s commitment to community support through its partnership with Farm Share, a nonprofit organization focused on combating hunger. Volunteers from FPL and Farm Share distributed fresh groceries and nutritional resources to attendees, ensuring that families in need received essential food supplies.

“We’re committed to powering strong communities and making Florida an even better place to live and raise a family,” said Chelsea Lunn, FPL External Affairs Manager. “Bringing the Power to Save program to Miami Gardens allowed us to help customers find ways to keep their energy bills as low as possible.”
