US utility Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) installed the first of nearly one million new solar panels to build three solar energy centers in the Treasure Coast area – two in Indian River County and one in St. Lucie County – that will begin generating solar power early next year. According to the company, the Treasure Coast facilities are part of one of the largest solar expansion plans ever in the eastern US, as FPL constructs and places into service a total of eight new solar power plants by early 2018. Combined, the new solar power plants are comprised of more than 2.5 million solar panels with nearly 600 MW of solar capacity.
Through a partnership with Veterans Florida, Indian River State College and others, FPL is connecting US military veterans with careers in solar. FPL is also partnering with Audubon Florida. Audubon and its local chapters are recommending bird and pollinator-friendly vegetation for the solar plants to help make these facilities home to wildlife and nature.
