Electric service in Coral Gables comes from Florida Power & Light (FPL). The city does not run a power company, so outages, downed lines and restoration times are FPL’s to handle. The city’s hurricane guide lists FPL’s outage line among its important numbers.

Power lines going underground

FPL’s Storm Secure Underground Program is moving neighborhood lines underground in phases chosen by FPL by feeder line, based on reliability. The city’s March 17, 2026, update gives the share of the city’s urban area served underground:

Bar chart of the cumulative share of Coral Gables with underground power lines: 23.5% before the program, 25.9% after 2022-2024 work, 34.15% when 2024-2026 construction ends, 38.25% after the design phase is built and 40.5% after the outreach phase

Phase Share of city Cumulative
Underground before the program 23.5% 23.5%
Converted 2022 to 2024 2.4% 25.9%
Under construction, 2024 to 2026 8.25% 34.15%
In design, construction 2026 to 2027 4.1% 38.25%
In public outreach, construction 2027 to 2028 2.25% 40.5%
Future phases after 2028 59.5%

FPL writes to owners in each area before design and construction, and each customer gets an FPL contact for the project. The city’s phase map (PDF) shows which neighborhoods are in which phase.

Before a storm

  • Sign up for city emergency alerts: text CoralGables to 888-777.
  • If someone in your home depends on power for medical equipment, register with Miami-Dade County’s Emergency and Evacuation Assistance Program; call 311.
  • Portable generators up to 10,000 running watts are now exempt from Florida sales tax all year.

After a storm

Keep tree debris in separate piles, off the road and away from power lines, as the city’s hurricane guide asks, so crews can reach damaged lines. Storm debris pickup is covered in trash and recycling.
