Florida Power & Light Company has started construction of 10 solar farms with a combined capacity of 745MW.
The projects, each with individual capacity of 74.5MW, are expected online in the early part of next year, the company said.
They are the Babcock Preserve, Blue Heron, Cattle Ranch, Echo River, Hibiscus, Northern Preserve, Okeechobee, Southfork, Sweetbay and Twin Lakes plants.
Each project is expected to create approximately 200 jobs during peak construction.
FPL currently has about 1.25GW of solar capacity operational across 18 projects.
Six of the new projects will support FPL’s SolarTogetherSM community solar programme that will be the largest in the US, if approved by the Florida Public Service Commission, the company said.
FPL president and chief executive Eric Silagy said: “FPL is well on its way to making Florida a world leader in solar energy.
“This year alone we’re building enough solar to increase our solar capacity by 60% and we are just getting started as we count down to the installation of 30 million panels by 2030.
“With 18 solar plants in operation and 10 more on the way, we’re adding even more emissions-free power to one of the cleanest systems in the nation while consistently keeping our customers’ bills among the lowest in the nation.”
