Charlie Creek was delivered by Duke Energy. The company just completed construction of the 74.9 MW solar farm in Hardy County, Fla. As a result, the company is delivering on its commitment to provide 700 MW of solar power to its customers in Florida. Charlie Creek is the latest of 10 solar farms the company has built in the state.

Charlie Creek, Duke Energy’s latest solar farm in Florida

The construction of Charlie Creek comes as a result of an agreement between Duke Energy and Florida. The construction of these ten sites is in response to a desire to significantly increase the region’s share of solar energy.

On this subject, president of Duke Energy in Florida, Melissa Seixas, says:

“Today, we are delivering on our promise to provide a cleaner, brighter energy future for our customers. By 2024, we plan to provide 1,500 MW of solar power. Our strategy is to provide cleaner, more efficient energy solutions for Floridians.”

Prioritizing solar energy

Duke Energy’s total investment is $2 billion. The company’s new offering will include a network of 25 photovoltaic plants. The capacity of these plants will amount to some 1,500 MW of clean energy, spread over about 5 million solar panels by 2024.

Over the next decade, Duke Energy will continue to invest in new solar farms and battery energy storage. The company will also develop solar power for public transport. The modernization of the electrical network aims to provide efficient energy solutions to the needs of consumers.

The economic stakes of the project

In addition to reducing carbon and diversifying energy solutions, the development of solar farms in Florida creates jobs. During the construction period, the projects created 2,400 temporary jobs. All of the parks are located in Florida, from South Highland County to North Hamilton County.

Eventually, at peak production, the sites will provide enough energy to replace the energy production of 140 million gallons of gasoline per year.
