Duke Energy plans to develop three solar PV projects in Florida
Duke Energy Florida has announced the locations of its newest universal solar power plants, which will provide cleaner, smarter energy solutions to benefit Florida customers.
The Lake Placid Solar Power Plant will be built on 380 acres in Highlands County. The 45 MW plant will consist of approximately 180,000 tracking solar panels. The solar power plant is expected to be in service in December 2019. DEF acquired the development rights to the project from EDF Renewables.
The Trenton Solar Power Plant will occupy about 580 acres in Gilchrist County. The 74.9-MW plant will consist of approximately 280,000 tracking solar panels, which will produce enough carbon-free energy to power over 23,000 average homes at peak production. It is expected to be in service in December 2019. DEF acquired the development rights to the project from Southeast Solar & Power LLC.
The DeBary Solar Power Plant will be built on about 445 acres in Volusia County. The 74.5-MW plant will consist of approximately 300,000 fixed-tilt solar panels, which will produce enough carbon-free energy to power over 20,000 average homes at peak production. It is expected to be in service in March 2020.
DEF is responsible for all remaining development activities, including construction of the projects.
