Construction starts on Florida solar plant

 




A BlueChip solar facility

Lake Mary-based BlueChip Energy is building what is purported to be Florida's largest solar panel plant, with the power to build approximately 3,200 homes. The $120 million plant in Sorrento Farms is larger than the state's existing DeSoto plant, which is a Florida Power & Light project. The facility is smaller, however, than other announced facilities in Florida -- one in Gadsden County and a second in Walton County. There is room for further expansion of production, according to BlueChip, potentially as much as 80 more megawatts. The planned capacity is for 40 megawatts. [Sun Sentinel]
