Duke Energy Florida announced Monday that it installed its one-millionth solar panel in the state at its Columbia Solar Power Plant in Fort White, Fla.
The 74.9-megawatt (MW) Columbia Solar Power Plant includes approximately 300,000 solar panels and is expected to enter operation in March 2020.
“This is an exciting announcement as we increasingly deliver cleaner, more reliable energy to our customers,” Catherine Stempien, Duke Energy Florida state president, said. “By mid-year, our solar plants are expected to eliminate nearly 1.5 billion pounds of carbon dioxide emissions each year. That’s the equivalent of taking 130,000 passenger cars off Florida roads.”
By mid-2020, Duke Energy Florida expects to have nearly 515 megawatts (MW) of solar under construction or operating.
From 2018 through 2022, the company is investing an estimated $1 billion to construct or acquire 700 MW of solar power facilities in the state.
Duke Energy Florida is projecting that it will more than double its solar investments and expects to potentially install more than 1,500 MW of solar generation by 2028.
