Florida Power & Light Company's solar power plants achieved a new milestone – generating more than 1,000 megawatts of energy from the sun.
FPL has 14 solar plants in commercial operation today and four more solar plants that are just days away from completion. During the early afternoon of Friday, Jan. 25, with sunshine across much of Florida, the combined energy generation from FPL's universal solar portfolio reached its highest-ever total.
"FPL is in the midst of one of largest solar expansions in the history of the U.S. We generated 10 times more solar energy last year than we did in 2016, and we're investing billions of dollars to advance solar affordably for our customers,” said Eric Silagy, president, and CEO of FPL.
Earlier this month, the company announced that it would expand its long-standing clean energy commitment with a groundbreaking "30-by-30" plan to install 30 million more solar panels across Florida by 2030. The plan will result in approximately 11,000 MW of installed solar capacity by 2030.
