FLORIDA POWE AND LIGHT LOGGER HEAD GENERATOR
Florida’s largest generator of solar power, FPL has approximately 1,250 megawatts of universal solar capacity, including: Each of the ten new solar plants FPL is building this year is expected to create approximately 200 jobs during peak construction.įlorida’s largest generator of solar energyįPL currently operates 18 solar power plants, two that feature innovative energy storage, and hundreds of smaller solar installations*. Florida ranked second in the nation in 2018 in solar employment, behind California, according to The Solar Foundation. Of the new FPL solar power plants, six will support FPL SolarTogether SM, the company’s new community solar program that will be the largest in the country if approved by the Florida Public Service Commission.įPL’s ongoing investments in solar play a significant role in the positive impact Florida’s solar expansion is having on job creation in the state. These new solar plants are expected to save customers millions of dollars in avoided fuel and other costs over the long term. Purchasing solar panels in bulk and capturing other economies of scale helps FPL build its solar plants cost effectively. The new solar plants are another example of FPL’s strategy of advancing affordable clean energy that has resulted in customer bills that are 30% below the national average. When the new solar power plants begin serving customers early next year, FPL’s total solar capacity will reach nearly 2,000 megawatts – enough to power approximately 400,000 homes. Each of the new solar plants will have a capacity of 74.5 megawatts. Today, the company operates approximately 1,250 megawatts of solar capacity across 18 existing solar plants and other smaller installations. With 18 solar plants in operation and 10 more on the way, we’re adding even more emissions-free power to one of the cleanest systems in the nation while consistently keeping our customers’ bills among the lowest in the nation.” “This year alone we’re building enough solar to increase our solar capacity by 60% and we are just getting started as we count down to the installation of 30 million panels by 2030. “FPL is well on its way to making Florida a world leader in solar energy,” said Eric Silagy, president and CEO of FPL.
