Florida is the second-largest producer of electricity in the nation, after Texas.21 In 2020, natural gas fueled three-fourths of Florida's in-state net generation, and 8 of the state's 10 largest power plants by capacity and by generation are natural gas-fired.22,23 Natural gas has fueled the largest share of Florida's electricity generation since 2003, when it surpassed coal's contribution for the first time.24 Florida also leads the nation in generators that can switch between natural gas and fuel oil.25 Although petroleum-fired power plants provided less than 0.1% of Florida's generation in 2020, petroleum liquids remain an important backup fuel source at many of the state's natural gas-fired power plants.26 In 2020, almost two-thirds of the state's natural gas-fired power plants could switch to petroleum fuels in the event of disruptions in the natural gas supply.27,28, The second-largest source of in-state generation in Florida is nuclear power.

Indiana West Virginia It is the only concentrating solar thermal generating facility east of the Rocky Mountains.51,52, Florida accounts for about 7% of the nation's biomass-fueled electricity generation, more than all but two other states, Georgia and California, and biomass fuels almost all of the non-solar renewable generation in Florida.53,54 The largest share of the state's almost 1,200 megawatts of biomass-fueled generating capacity is at plants that process municipal solid waste, followed by those fueled by wood and wood waste.

In an era when climate change threatens potentially catastrophic consequences for the planet, sustainability confronts corporate America with a simple question: What are you doing to reduce your carbon dioxide emissions? Washington If every utility in the nation were as clean as FPL Group, total U.S. CO2 emissions would be cut by 20 percent, equivalent to removing eight of every 10 vehicles from the road.

Florida is the second-largest producer of electricity in the nation, after Texas.21 In 2020, natural gas fueled three-fourths of Florida's in-state net generation, and 8 of the state's 10 largest power plants by capacity and by generation are natural gas-fired.22,23 Natural gas has fueled the largest share of Florida's electricity generation since 2003, when it surpassed coal's contribution for the first time.24 Florida also leads the nation in generators that can switch between natural gas and fuel oil.25 Although petroleum-fired power plants provided less than 0.1% of Florida's generation in 2020, petroleum liquids remain an important backup fuel source at many of the state's natural gas-fired power plants.26 In 2020, almost two-thirds of the state's natural gas-fired power plants could switch to petroleum fuels in the event of disruptions in the natural gas supply.27,28, The second-largest source of in-state generation in Florida is nuclear power.

Renewable resources, mainly solar energy and biomass, plus petroleum coke and generation at industrial plants that use multiple fuels, accounted for almost all the remaining net generation in Florida.33 Almost all the state's recent and planned additions of generating capacity are natural gas-fueled or solar powered.34, Florida is the third-largest electricity consumer in the nation, after Texas and California.35 However, the state does not produce enough electricity to meet its power needs, and electricity demand is expected to increase as the state's population continues to grow.36,37,38 The residential sector, where more than 9 in 10 Florida households use electricity as their primary energy source for home heating and air conditioning, consumes more than half of the electricity used in Florida, the largest share of any state.39,40 The commercial sector accounts for about two-fifths of state consumption, and the industrial sector uses most of the rest. 112 U.S. EIA, Annual Coal Report 2020 (October 4, 2021), Table 1, Coal Production and Number of Mines by State and Mine Type, 2020 and 2019. 118 U.S. EIA, "Natural gas-fired power generation has grown in Florida, displacing coal," Today in Energy (September 9, 2019).
