Paying your monthly electricity bill can feel like a hassle sometimes. You likely have numerous payments to make each month, so remembering when your FPL bill is due can be difficult. Plus, sitting down to pay bills isn’t exactly fun. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get your Fpl payment done quickly and easily while running errands? The good news is, you can! FPL has partnered with stores like Publix to allow customers to pay their electric bill in person. Read on to learn more about paying your FPL bill at Publix.
What is FPL?
FPL stands for Florida Power & Light. They are an electric utility company that provides service to over 12 million people across Florida. As the largest electric utility in the state, FPL powers homes and businesses in 35 counties.
FPL is invested in providing reliable, clean energy to their customers. They utilize solar energy and have plans to install 30 million solar panels by 2030. FPL also focuses on storm preparedness to limit power outages during hurricanes.

Avoid Late Fees
When you receive your FPL bill, you typically have 20-25 days to make a payment before late fees apply. By paying at Publix, you don’t have to worry about your payment getting lost in the mail or taking days to process. Your payment will apply to your account right away.
