There is great news being announced regarding solar power in the state of Florida. Net 0 Energy is happy to announce as per FPL, that three solar energy centers are going to be installed in Nassau, St. Johns, and Union counties. Two other solar energy centers in Baker and Okeechobee counties will become the second center in each county. The five new centers bring FPL closer to fulfilling its “30-by-30” commitment to installing more than 30 million solar panels by the year 2030.

 

“Nobody in America is building more affordable solar than FPL…” said Eric Silagy, president, and CEO of FPL. “Our FPL SolarTogether program is an innovative piece of the company’s rapid solar expansion, which helps us consistently deliver America’s best energy value – electricity that’s not just clean and reliable, but also affordable.”

“Our goal is to make Florida a leader in clean, solar energy that keeps costs down for our customers, helps to keep the Sunshine State beautiful, and, in the process, creates local construction jobs,” Silagy continued. “These five new solar energy centers are helping us take a powerful step forward as we execute our ‘30-by-30’ commitment.”

 

The new solar energy centers are:

  • FPL Egret Solar Energy Center, Baker County
  • FPL Lakeside Solar Energy Center, Okeechobee County
  • FPL Nassau Solar Energy Center, Nassau County (First in County)
  • FPL Trailside Solar Energy Center, St. Johns County (First in County)
  • FPL Union Springs Solar Energy Center, Union County (First in County)

 

These specific centers were part of the company’s broad construction effort across the state, when FPL recently made history by constructing an unprecedented 14 solar energy centers at one time.

As part of the FPL SolarTogether program, the five new solar energy centers give all customers – both residential and business – an opportunity to enjoy the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy, and the chance to cost-effectively support the growth of solar in Florida.

 

Here are the numbers:

  • Each new solar energy center is capable of generating 74.5 megawatts of power from the sun.
  • In combination, the five centers will generate enough solar energy to power about 75,000 homes.
  • More than 1,100 construction jobs benefited local economies during the installation of the five solar energy centers.
  • With these new centers online, FPL will operate a total of 33 universal-scale solar energy centers by the end of 2020.
  • Nine more solar energy centers are under construction, with expected completion dates in 2021.

By building universal-scale solar energy centers across Florida, FPL is taking advantage of the extended sunshine across the state’s vast peninsula, which spans two time zones. The company’s transmission system allows energy produced from the solar energy centers all over the state to benefit customers throughout its entire service territory.
