Local Jobs. Strong Economic Impact. Clean, American-Made Energy.

About the Project

The FPL Three Creeks Solar Energy Center is a solar project proposed in Manatee County, Florida. This solar energy center will harvest the sun’s rays to generate power, and the region will benefit from quiet, clean, environmentally friendly energy, the creation of hundreds of construction jobs, and hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in local tax revenues for Manatee County.

Preserving the Community’s Rural Way of Life

Solar energy centers make an ideal neighbor for agricultural and rural communities for a variety of reasons:

  • Protecting against urban sprawl: Unlike commercial developments, a solar energy center can easily transition back to agricultural use at the end of its lifecycle.
  • Increasing biodiversity: The perennial ground cover planted throughout solar energy centers reduces potential for erosion, stabilizes soil, and facilitates biodiversity.
  • Providing habitats for native wildlife: FPL’s solar energy centers are environmentally enhanced to provide habitats for native wildlife and to coexist with the flora and fauna across our great state.
