The Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) (United States) has approved Florida Power & Light Company's (FPL) plans to launch its community solar program SolarTogether. As part of the plan, FPL will add 20 new solar power plants, totalling 1,490 MW, by mid-2021 for a construction cost of US$1,752m (US$1,176/kW). The 20 parks will be divided into 5 groups with an individual project capacity of 74.5 MW. Around 75% of the capacity (1,117 MW) will be earmarked to industrial, commercial and state customers, while the remaining 25% will be allocated to small business and residential customers (of which 10% will be reserved for low-income customers). Customers can participate in the community program in contributing to a portion of new solar capacity. In exchange, they will receive a reduction in their monthly bills over time.
FPL, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy, is one of the largest energy companies in the United States, with more than 5 million customer accounts.
