Officials from The Reliable One (OUC) were joined by city and county officials to celebrate the completion of what is described as the first solar farm in Orange County, Florida. The 5.9MW Stanton Solar farm, located at OUC’s Curtis H. Stanton Energy Center is owned and operated by Duke Energy Renewables. The project was built by Regenesis Power with OUC purchasing the power produced from the array for the next 20 years.
"This agreement is a cost effective way for OUC to incorporate more alternative energy sources into our portfolio and to study the impact large-scale solar projects have on our electric distribution system," OUC Commission President Maylen Dominguez said.
The solar array at OUC uses 25,172 solar modules on a single-axis tracking system. OUC claims that it is now the only utility in Florida with solar, landfill gas, natural gas and coal generation on the same site.

This is especially true since the per watt prices have come down significantly. What’s the deal?
