#1 in Reliability

For OUC, reliability doesn’t just mean keeping the power on. We’ve been recognized as the most reliable electric utility in Florida* when compared to the state’s investor-owned utilities. Our customers experienced fewer electrical outages and saw their service restored faster when there was an outage.
