Florida Power & Light is using technology, such as drones and robots, to make the energy grid more storm-resilient and improve reliability in good weather and bad.

FPL investments, which include strengthening power lines and poles, trimming trees near power lines, installing smart grid technology, and undergrounding power lines in select areas help make the grid more reliable day-to-day and speed restoration following major storms.
