Sunlit Success: How FPL is Embracing Solar Energy and Empowering Customers with Voluntary Subscription Programs

Business News in Jacksonville This Week

As a journalist, I would rewrite the article as follows:

Florida Power and Light (FPL) is promoting solar energy as a cost-effective and less cluttered option for its customers, according to Marshall Hastings. In an interview with This Week in Jacksonville: Business Edition, Hastings discussed the latest technical advances in the industry and a new trend being explored by utility companies: offering customers the opportunity to participate in solar energy programs without having to install solar panels.

This voluntary subscription program, known as Solar Together, allows customers to choose a plan based on their energy needs and receive credits from Florida solar farms. Customers participating in the program pay a fixed monthly fee based on the amount of energy they choose to subscribe to, ranging from one kilowatt to 100% of their energy usage. These credits are awarded for the energy generated from solar farms that grow based on both generation and the duration of enrollment in the program. By year four, customers start to see credits exceeding their costs, with a full buyback or payback into the program by year seven.

FPL is actively investing in solar farms throughout Florida and is committed to their resiliency. According to Hastings, the company factors in the resiliency of solar farms in all power decisions. Environmental concerns are being addressed by FPL through its investment in renewable energy sources like solar power. The latest episode of This Week in Jacksonville: Business Edition also discusses these concerns and how FPL is working towards sustainability. Copyright 2024 by WJXT News4JAX – All rights reserved.
