Glades & Hendry Community Solar Field Nears Completion, Promising 10% Electricity Savings for Residents

A new 2.2-megawatt (MW) community solar field, located on a former landfill site, is nearing completion and promises significant energy benefits for Glades & Hendry residents. This project is expected to generate enough electricity to power over 300 homes annually, marking a step forward in the region's renewable energy goals.

This initiative directly impacts local electricity customers by offering a tangible way to reduce monthly expenses. Subscribers to the program can expect to save 10% on their electricity bills. The project utilizes 5,700 solar panels, transforming previously unused land into a source of clean energy for the community.

Enrollment for the community solar program is open to all electricity customers in the area, not just property owners. This inclusive approach ensures a wider segment of the population can participate in and benefit from the local energy generation. The project aligns with the community's broader objective of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2035.

The solar field is expected to become operational by late fall. Residents interested in learning more about enrollment or participating in the program should look for further announcements regarding the official launch and sign-up procedures.
