        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



EMPLOYEE BENEFITS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF FPL GROUP, INC.:

We have audited the statements of financial condition of the Employee
Thrift and Retirement Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees of
Florida Power & Light Company (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1994
and 1993, and the related statement of income and changes in net
assets for the year ended December 31, 1994.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial condition of the Plan at
December 31, 1994 and 1993 and its income and changes in net assets
for the year ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules of (1) assets held for investment as of December 31, 1994,
and (2) transactions in excess of five percent of the current value
of plan assets for the year ended December 31, 1994, are presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  These schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Such schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1994 financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

    EMPLOYEE THRIFT AND RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN FOR
BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES OF FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
       For the year ended December 31, 1994


1.  Description of the Plan and Significant Accounting Policies

The Plan

The following description of the Employee Thrift and Retirement Savings
Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees of Florida Power & Light Company
(Plan) provides only general information.  Participating employees
(Members) should refer to the Summary Plan Description in their
employee handbook for a more complete description of the Plan. 
Effective January 1, 1994, Fidelity Management Trust Company
(Trustee) replaced Mellon Bank, N.A. as administrator of the trust
established under the Plan (Trust).

Participation in the Plan, which is voluntary, is open to any employee of
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL or Company) whose compensation
is established under a collective bargaining agreement between the
Company and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers AFL-
CIO through its System Council U-4 (Bargaining Unit).  The Plan
includes a cash or deferred compensation arrangement (Tax Saver
Option) permitted by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (Code).  The Tax Saver Option permits a Member to
elect to defer federal income taxes on all or a portion of his contributions
(Tax Saver Contributions) until they are distributed from the Plan.  Tax
Saver Contributions were limited in 1994 to a maximum of $9,240 per
Member and may be increased or decreased in future years for cost-of-
living adjustments.

The Plan also includes leveraged employee stock ownership plan
(Leveraged ESOP) provisions.  The Leveraged ESOP is a stock bonus
plan within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401-1(b)(1)(iii)
that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and is designed to
invest primarily in common stock of FPL Group, Inc. (Common Stock).
The Trust purchased Common Stock from FPL Group, Inc. (FPL Group)
using the proceeds of a loan (Acquisition Indebtedness) from FPL Group
Capital Inc (FPL Group Capital), a subsidiary of FPL Group (see Note 3). 
The Common Stock acquired by the Trust is initially held in a separate
account (ESOP Account).  As the Acquisition Indebtedness (including
interest) is repaid, each Member's account is allocated its share of
Common Stock released from the ESOP Account.

Contributions, Loans, Withdrawals and Transfers to (from) the Plan

The Plan provides for basic contributions by eligible employees in whole
percentages from 1% to 6% of their base compensation (Earnings). 
Such contributions are matched 50% by the Company with shares of
Common Stock equal in value to 50% of a Member's basic after-tax and
basic Tax Saver Contributions plus an additional 50% on the first three
percent of a Member's Earnings contributed as a basic Tax Saver
Contribution.  The Plan also provides for supplemental contributions by
Members to be made in whole percentages from 1% to 10% of their
Earnings, which are not matched by the Company.

The value of a Member's contributions (including all income, gains and
losses) is at all times 100% vested.  Company contributions vest at a
rate of 20% each year and are fully vested upon a Member attaining five
years of service as a Member of the Plan.  An employee may also
receive vesting credit for prior years of service as a member of the FPL
Group Employee Thrift Plan (Group Plan).

The Plan's investment options during the year were expanded to include
eleven investment choices: eight core investment options and three
investment strategy options.  The core investment options include
various mutual funds, a separately managed portfolio of short- and
long-term investment contracts and Common Stock.  The strategy
options combine portions of the individual core investment options
available through the Plan providing various combinations of stocks and
fixed income investments.

The Plan allows Members, at any time, to change their contribution
percentage, to change their investment option allocation for future
contributions or to transfer their account balance attributable to Member
contributions from one investment option to another.  At year end, the
number of Members contributing to the Plan was 3,808.  Company
contributions are primarily made from Common Stock shares released
from the ESOP Account. Forfeitures of non-vested Company
contributions due to termination of Plan participation are used to reduce
the amount of future Company contributions to the Plan.  A Member who
has attained at least the age of fifty-five and completed five years of
service while a Member will be permitted a one time election to transfer
the total Company contributions made to his or her account and any
earnings thereon to one or more of the other investment options.  Any
future Company contributions will continue to be invested in Common
Stock.  Company contributions made on behalf of business managers
and others employed by the Bargaining Unit and serving on Company
property while on a leave of absence from the Company will be
reimbursed by the Bargaining Unit.

A Member may borrow from his or her Plan accounts during their
employment under certain conditions.  At December 31, 1994, the loan
interest rate was 7.5%.

Withdrawals by Members from certain of their accounts during their
employment are permitted with certain penalties and restrictions.  The
penalties limit a Member's participation in the Plan for varying periods
following a withdrawal.

Transfers to (from) the Plan generally represent net transfers between
the Plan and the Group Plan.  The transfers arise as a result of
members relocating between affiliated entities participating in the plans.

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
basis of accounting.  Investment income and interest income on loans to
Members is recognized when earned.  Contributions by Members and
Company contributions are accrued on the basis of amounts withheld
through payroll deductions.  Distributions to Members are recorded when
paid.  Assets of the Plan are stated at market value, except loans to
Members which are stated at cost and insurance and financial institution
contracts which are stated at contract value, all of which approximates
market value.  Market value is determined using the closing market price
or the last recorded bid price.

Investments

Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded on the trade
date.  Gains or losses on sales of investment securities are determined
using the carrying amount of the securities.  The carrying amounts of
securities held in Member accounts are adjusted daily; securities held in
the ESOP Account (see Note 2) are adjusted annually.  Unrealized
appreciation or depreciation is recorded to recognize changes in market
value.

2.  Employee Stock Ownership Plan Account Allocation

The assets, liabilities and net income of the ESOP Account are not
considered plan assets but are for the joint benefit of the Plan and the
Group Plan.  The ESOP Account is allocated for financial reporting
purposes based on each plan's relative net assets.  The Plan's allocation
of Common Stock held in the ESOP Account (employer securities),
Acquisition Indebtedness and interest payable have been reflected in the
Statements of Financial Condition, but are not available for, or the
obligation of, Plan Members.  The employer securities will be released
from the ESOP Account and distributed to Members' accounts in
satisfaction of part or all of the Company's matching contribution
obligation under the Plan as the Acquisition Indebtedness is repaid
(estimated to occur over the next fifteen years).  ESOP shares allocated
to date are classified as employer securities held by the Plan on the
Statements of Financial Condition.  The Acquisition Indebtedness will be
repaid from dividends on the shares acquired by the ESOP Account, as
well as from cash contributions from FPL Group.  The net effect of a
change in the allocation percentage from year to year is reported as a
transfer to or from the Plan.  The value of the shares distributed to
Member accounts is not affected by these allocations.

Condensed financial statements of the ESOP Account are presented
below, indicating the allocations made to each plan.  The effect of
current year Leveraged ESOP activity on net assets is included in
transfers to the plan in the financial statements of each plan. 
Distributions of shares to the plans are presented as noncash
contributions in the financial statements of each plan.

</TABLE>

3.  Acquisition Indebtedness

In December 1990, the Trust borrowed $360 million from FPL Group
Capital to purchase approximately 12.4 million shares of Common
Stock.  The unallocated shares of Common Stock acquired with the
proceeds of the Acquisition Indebtedness are collateral for the
Acquisition Indebtedness.  As principal payments are made, a
percentage of Common Stock is allocated to each Member's account and
released as collateral.  During 1994, 544,385 shares were released as
collateral for the Acquisition Indebtedness.  The scheduled principal
repayments of the Acquisition Indebtedness for the next five years
and thereafter are as follows:  1995 - $4,190,000; 1996 - $5,532,000;
1997 - $7,032,000; 1998 - $8,705,000; 1999 - $10,568,000 and
thereafter - $317,200,000.  The Acquisition Indebtedness matures in
2010, bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.69% per year and is to be
repaid using dividends received on Common Stock held by the ESOP
Account and ESOP shares distributed to Member's accounts, along with
cash contributions from FPL Group.  In 1994, such dividends received
totaled approximately $22,978,000 and cash contributions from FPL
Group totaled approximately $15,743,000.  See Note 2 for information
on the Plan's allocation percentage of the Acquisition Indebtedness.

4.  Parties-In-Interest Transactions

Company contributions are primarily made in Common Stock released
from the ESOP Account or in cash, which is used to purchase Common
Stock by the Trustee.  Such amounts are reported as noncash
contributions (from employer)  and contributions received from
employer, respectively.

All dividends received by the Plan were earned on Common Stock. 
Dividends on shares held in the ESOP Account were used to repay the
Acquisition Indebtedness (see Note 3).  Certain dividends on shares
held in Members' accounts are reinvested in Common Stock for the
benefit of its Members pursuant to FPL Group's Dividend Reinvestment
and Common Share Purchase Plan in which the Trustee participates.

7.  Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

Generally accepted accounting principles for employee benefit plans
require benefit payments to be recorded when paid.  Benefit payments
as reported on Form 5500 are recorded when processed and approved
for payment.

The following is a reconciliation of benefits paid to participants per the
financial statements to the Form 5500:

8.  Income Taxes

In January 1989, FPL received from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
a favorable determination that the Plan, as amended and restated
effective January 1, 1988, met the requirements of Section 401 of the
Code.  The IRS, in Revenue Procedure 93-6, has opened the
determination process for plans which combine 401(k) or 401(m) and
ESOP features, such as this Plan.  The Company has submitted
applications in 1995 for favorable determinations from the IRS that the
Plan, both as amended and restated effective July 16, 1990, including
amendments effective January 1, 1991, and as further amended through
January 1, 1994, remains qualified under Section 401(a).  If the Plan
remains qualified, the Trust established thereunder will generally be
exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code;
Company contributions paid to the Trust under the Plan will be allowable
federal income tax deductions of the Company subject to the conditions
and limitations of Section 404 of the Code; and the Plan will meet the
requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code allowing Tax Saver
Contributions to be exempt from federal income tax at the time such
contributions are made, provided that in operation the Plan and Trust
meet the applicable provisions of the Code.  In addition, FPL Group will
be able to claim an income tax deduction for dividends used to repay the
Acquisition Indebtedness.

Company contributions to the Plan on a Member's behalf, the Member's
Tax Saver Contributions, and the earnings thereon generally are not
taxable to the Member until such Company contributions, Tax Saver
Contributions, and earnings from investments are distributed or
withdrawn.  A loan from a Member's account generally will not represent
a taxable distribution if the loan is repaid in a timely manner and does
not exceed certain limitations.

9.  Expenses

Certain fees such as annual account maintenance and investment
management fees are primarily paid by Plan participants.  FPL Group
shares a portion of the annual account maintenance fees.  Trustee's
fees and expenses are paid by FPL Group (which may charge each
company under the Plan its allocated share) and, therefore, are not
reflected in the financial statements.<PAGE>
10.  Master Trusts

Master Trusts follow.
