FPL, Peace River Electric, or both
Florida Power & Light serves most of Manatee County. Peace River Electric Cooperative serves parts of the east county, including some Lakewood Ranch neighborhoods, and has been laying new underground cable in neighborhoods like River Club and Braden Woods.
FPL's guidelines cover home batteries. A battery paired with solar goes through an interconnection application that FPL approves before installation. A backup battery on its own needs no interconnection agreement, but it has to be set up so it can't send power back onto the grid.
