• 2004 was unprecedented– 3 back-to-back storms
within 36 days– Nearly 47,000 workers from
39 states and Canada
• 2005 is most active and destructive season on record – 4 hurricanes affected customers– Nearly 45,500 workers from
36 states and Canada
• Wilma alone had the largest impact to our infrastructure– Largest workforce ever
assembled– Quickest deployment to the
field after a major hurricane– Significant impact on electrical
infrastructure
Florida Power & Light2004 - 2005 Record Breaking Storm Seasons
Florida Power & Light2005 Storm Season Review - Lessons Learned
• Infrastructure “hardening” is needed in the design, construction and operation of electric systems– Evidence of more active multi-decade hurricane cycle– Growing customer base within territory– Customer expectations higher
• Storm Secure Plan developed to strengthen electrical grid for future hurricanes

Florida Power & LightPreparing for Storm Season 2006 and Beyond
• Strengthen system infrastructure to improve resiliency to future storms and complete repairs from 2005 storm season
• Prepare storm organization with the appropriate training and skills to respond to storms
• Test and refine the restoration plan
• Build upon current communication processes with customers and communities
