Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) has installed more than half of the 2.5 million solar panels that will comprise an eight-project, 596MW PV pipeline that will power Florida customers by early 2018.
Washington-based environmental organisation the Sierra Club is taking Florida Power & Light to court over a US$811 million rate hike over the next four years that “bilks millions of customers and further locks the Sunshine State into an over reliance on financially risky, climate-disrupting gas,” the group said.
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) has become the state’s largest generator of solar power by bringing online three new universal solar energy plants, with plans to connect four more this year.
