FPL Daily Load Shape and Duck Curve by Hour, 29 September to 27 October 2026

In the 29 complete local days from 29 September to 27 October 2026, electricity demand in FPL averaged 17,423 MW and typically peaked at 15:00 local time (21,625 MW) and bottomed out at 04:00 (13,154 MW). With solar taken off, the remaining load fell to 13,154 MW at 04:00 and then rose 2,389 MW between 14:00 to 17:00. Hours are local clock time (America/New_York).

Key Facts

  • Over 29 complete local days from 29 September to 27 October 2026, average demand in FPL was 17,423 MW. The hour of the day with the highest average demand was 15:00 local time (21,625 MW) and the lowest was 04:00 (13,154 MW).
  • The single highest hour of demand in the 30 day window was 25,854 MW, in the hour starting 15 Oct 2026, 16:00 EDT (UTC-04:00).

Average Day by Local Hour

29 days to 2026-10-27, America/New_York time
FPL average demand and net generation by local hour Average electricity demand in FPL by local clock hour over 29 complete local days from 29 September to 27 October 2026. It was lowest at 04:00 (13,154 MW) and highest at 15:00 (21,625 MW). Net generation is the power produced inside the grid, so it differs from demand by net imports. 0 6,250 12,500 18,750 25,000 00:0003:0006:0009:0012:0015:0018:0021:00

Each value is the mean over 29 complete local days from 29 September to 27 October 2026, weekdays and weekends together, for the hour starting at that local clock time. Net load is demand minus solar generation. The single highest hour of demand in the whole 30 day window was 25,854 MW; it is a published reading, not an average, and is not part of the profile above.

Assumptions

  • Hours are local clock time in America/New_York. A local day is used only if it is whole inside the 30 day window and at least 22 of its hours are complete; the profile uses the 29 most recent such days. Daylight saving follows the local clock: on a clock change day the missing hour is absent and the repeated hour is averaged over both readings.
  • The average mixes weekdays and weekends and covers only 29 days, so it describes recent conditions, not a seasonal norm.
  • The evening ramp is the largest rise over three hours in the average profile, starting between 14:00 and 20:00 local time.
