SECTION 8 - OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 9 through September 11, 2017, Hurricane Irma passed through, and caused damage to, much of Florida Power & Light Company’s (FPL) service territory, resulting in approximately 4.4 million of FPL's 5 million customers losing electrical service. Damage to FPL's property was primarily to its distribution facilities. As of mid-day September 15, 2017, electrical service has been restored to approximately 3.4 million customers. FPL estimates it will restore power to essentially all customers in its service territory along Florida's east coast by the end of the day on September 17, 2017, and by the end of the day on September 22, 2017 to essentially all customers in its service territory along Florida's west coast, with the possible exception of areas impacted by tornadoes, severe flooding and other areas of severe damage. FPL has not yet determined the costs of repairing the damage to its facilities and restoring service to affected customers. Pursuant to FPL's 2016 rate agreement, FPL is authorized, subject to Florida Public Service Commission approval, to recover from customers prudently incurred storm restoration costs in excess of its storm and property insurance reserve (storm reserve) amount, as well as the amount required to replenish the storm reserve to approximately $112 million.
