Lights. Caring. Action!
Delivering safe and reliable electricity to West Central Florida is our number one job. And we’re thrilled to do it! We’ve been an integral part of this area for a remarkable 125 years and counting. Electricity is a lifeline we’re proud to provide. But beyond the “lights” we also care and advocate for the communities we serve. In fact, our team members and our company are geared up for action – for our customers, our community and the environment.

Help for our Customers
Customers sometimes need help, and we’re here for them. We have programs and partnerships that provide utility bill payment support for those in need, and we offer flexible payment extensions to qualifying customers, allowing them more time to pay their bills.
Our Share program helps pay the energy bills of customers facing hardships. The program is powered by our customers, team members and community partners. TECO matches every contribution dollar-for-dollar, up to $500,000 each year.
We also offer dozens of energy- and money-saving programs, from energy audits to rebates, and a Neighborhood Weatherization program for qualifying communities.

Help for our Community
At Tampa Electric, community investment, workforce development and volunteerism are more than just initiatives—they are core values that guide everything we do.
We’re proud to help “light the way” for the people and communities we serve.
Through strategic partnerships, educational initiatives and targeted support, we strive to help others so that together, we all thrive. From providing scholarships to future line workers to funding STEAM initiatives for kids and volunteering for numerous community support initiatives, we’re committed to making a positive impact.
We know it’s not just good business—it’s the right thing to do.

Help for our Environment
We all enjoy Florida’s natural beauty. At Tampa Electric, we’re committed to preserving our environment in every decision and action as we serve the community’s energy needs. From our award-winning wastewater treatment plant at our Polk Power Station to our wildly popular Manatee Viewing Center, we’re helping to protect Florida's ecosystem.
We’re investing in solar electric generation, equipment upgrades and technology advancements that optimize our power plants’ efficiency. As a result, we’ve cut coal to less than one percent of our fuel mix, reduced fuel costs for customers and dramatically lowered our emissions, all while generating more electricity to power our growing region.
