List of power stations in Florida

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sources of Florida utility-scale electricity generation: full-year 2023[1]

  Natural Gas (75.8%)
  Nuclear (11.5%)
  Solar (5.4%)
  Coal (4.5%)
  Biomass (1.4%)
  Petroleum (0.5%)
  Hydroelectric (0.1%)
  Other (0.9%)

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in Florida, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Florida had a total summer capacity of 66,883 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 258,910 GWh.[2]

Florida is the third largest generator of electricity in the nation behind Texas and Pennsylvania.[3] Major producers include Florida Power & Light, Duke Energy, JEA, and TECO Energy.

In 2020, the average price of electricity in Florida was 10.06 cents per kWh, ranking 21st-highest in the United States. The carbon dioxide produced was 848 lbs per MWh, ranking 24th in the United States.[2] The average price of electricity for residential use was 13.70 cents/kWh in February 2022, compared to 11.92 cents/kWh in February 2021.[4]
