Duke Energy Florida has completed two new solar energy sites, the Half Moon Renewable Energy Center in Sumter County and the Rattler Renewable Energy Center in Hernando County. Each site generates 74.9 megawatts of clean energy, contributing to the company's growing solar portfolio. The addition of these facilities is estimated to save customers about $500 million over their operational lifetimes by reducing reliance on more expensive fuel sources. These projects are part of a broader plan to build 12 new solar sites between 2025 and 2027, which will add 900 megawatts of capacity and deliver approximately $3 billion in customer savings over time. Currently, Duke Energy Florida operates more than 30 solar sites, providing around 1,700 megawatts of solar energy across the state, with plans to exceed 6,100 megawatts of utility-scale solar generation by 2033.
