Duke Energy proposes $1 billion solar expansion to double its capacity
In this mention
Duke Energy Florida announced a $1 billion solar expansion plan to double its current solar capacity through its Clean Energy Connection Program, proposing 750 megawatts of new installations. Stephen Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, praised the utility's openness to cost-effective solar power that reduces fossil fuel dependency. The program allows customers to purchase solar power blocks at $8.35 per kilowatt, with credits growing annually, and includes 26 megawatts reserved for low-income customers.
We appreciate Duke Energy's openness to allowing more cost-effective solar power to reduce the need for additional fossil fuel assets and provide a cleaner energy mix to Florida customers
