FPL just received approval from the Florida Public Service Commission to begin construction on 3 solar energy centers that will put Florida on the map as the largest supplier of utility generated solar power in the nation. 

"Today’s decision by the PSC represents a major step forward in making Florida a leader in solar power generation. At a time of record-setting fossil fuel prices and concern over global climate change, solar power helps to meet the goals of protecting the environment and enhancing Florida’s energy security. Governor Crist and the state legislature set a goal of increasing renewable energy in Florida, and as a clean energy company we are committed to playing a meaningful role in this endeavor," said FPL President Armando J. Olivera.
