Not quite.

FPL is certainly a state franchised utility. As such it will have it's
own powers of condemnation, and the local government's involvement would
not normally be involved. FPL can either work out a deal with the
directly affected property owner (if FPL doesn't want your property,
you're not involved), or failing to come to an easement agreement, FPL
can begin condemnation proceedings for either an easement or title to
the strip of land needed. This would require payment for the
easement/land at a fair price. If you don't think the price is fair, 
you would have to go to court.
