FPL is helping business owners and operators lower their energy costs by educating them on their current energy use and providing them with tips and tricks to cut back. The two programs now accessible online include the Business Energy Evaluation and the Online Business Energy Dashboard.

Two easy options from FPL for lowering energy operating costs

Business owners and operators understand better than anyone that energy costs can be a significant part of a business’ operating budget. Yet many mistakenly treat these as fixed expenses. Cost control can be achieved by managing energy use, and fortunately, there are simple steps that businesses can take to reduce energy use and improve the bottom line.

FPL recognizes that reducing operating costs and managing energy usage is crucial for businesses trying to stay competitive and run successfully. That is why the company provides businesses with custom solutions to help manage electricity expenses and identify ways to save through FPL’s free Business Energy Evaluation (BEE) and Online Business Energy Dashboard.

Businesses can keep track of their usage by logging into their Online Business Energy Dashboard at FPL.com. This smart technology dashboard provides a breakdown of energy use by the month, day and hour. In addition, customers can get a projection of their next month’s bill, historic weather information and more. 

Businesses can then dive even deeper into understanding and managing their usage with the free BEE. There are two simple options to choose from:

1.   Online evaluation: This free online evaluation is designed for small business owners. To qualify, businesses must be on a rate called "General Service Non-Demand." Visit FPL.com/OBEE to participate.

2.   On-site evaluation: FPL energy experts visit the business to audit its energy use and provide a free customized report with energy saving solutions tailored to the unique energy needs of the business. Appointments can be scheduled online at FPL.com/BEE.

With these two options, businesses receive personalized analysis of their usage as well as recommendations for ways to improve energy efficiency. Some of the low- or no-cost measures may be implemented immediately, while others may require more planning.


A good energy plan is a good business plan. Visit FPL.com to view your Online Business Energy Dashboard and schedule a free BEE.
