More Solar Coming Soon
We’re adding millions of solar panels at sites across Florida in the years ahead, including four new solar power plants that will enter service in 2019.
Today, FPL is the largest generator of solar energy in Florida with 14 major solar power plants and numerous other solar installations, totaling approximately 930 megawatts of solar generation with more than 4 million solar panels installed.
Our eight newest solar plants that entered service in 2018 are projected to generate more than $100 million in total system savings for FPL customers during their operating lifetime.
Solar energy centers are virtually silent, operate autonomously and without water. The panels sit low to the ground, and the layout of each site is unique to minimize impacts to wetlands and surrounding areas.
Below, learn more about each of our solar energy centers generating zero-emissions solar power in Florida.
