Here are a few ways the FPL mobile app helps you take control of your energy usage and bill, from the palm of your hand:


    --  Monitor your energy usage - Compare your energy usage across three
        months or a full year, including average temperature data, so you see
        how weather impacts your bill
    --  View your projected bill - Understand what your bill is projected to be,
        so you can take steps to help lower it before it arrives
    --  Check your account summary - View and edit your profile information and
        communication preferences, so you receive information on what matters
        most to you
    --  Track the length of your billing cycle - See where you are in your
        billing cycle: it can range from 28 to 35 days, which can affect your
        bill amount
    --  Pay your bill quickly and securely - Make a payment in a few taps, or
        adjust the date of an upcoming payment if you need to
    --  Report an outage - Check your power status and, if necessary, submit an
        outage report so we can work to get your lights back on safely and as
        quickly as possible
    --  Stay informed with alerts - Receive important information about storms
        and bill pay reminders
