Duke Energy proposes large scale solar power plants over next 10 years
Duke Energy Florida announced plans Thursday to launch a major solar power effort that will produce electricity equivalent to that of a small power plant.
The plan is a surprising move for Duke, which has held steadfast to the idea that solar won’t work in Florida without storage because the Sunshine State has too many clouds.
Duke’s new position on solar comes as pressure mounts on Florida’s investor-owned utilities from homeowners and business owners who want more solar on their rooftops.
