SOLAR STATE

Florida's solar power surge: Why the Sunshine State is investing so much in the sun. 🌞🌻 Florida Power & Light (FPL) had to purchase less fuel which means less cost that is passed on to customers because of growing solar investments. | Florida Today
FPL has 78 solar centers generating a total of about 5,700 megawatts of power in operation in 31 of Florida's 67 counties, including 16 locations that opened in 2023 and 12 that opened in January. That's enough energy to power more than 1.1 million homes.
There are more than 284,000 panels in all, sitting on 486 acres owned by Florida Power & Light Co., the nation's largest electric utility.
Universities and colleges have been part of solar's growing footprint in Florida, through installations of their own. Disney World is now one of the biggest users of solar in the state.
Solar energy is a renewable energy source which remains cheaper and environmentally friendly than any other energy sources such as being generated using oil, gas, and coal.
