Power plant using renewable solar energy from the sun
A Duke Energy Florida plan that would add 10 solar-power plants faces a challenge at the state Supreme Court.
Attorneys for the League of United Latin American Citizens of Florida filed a notice this week that they are challenging a Jan. 5 decision by the state Public Service Commission to approve what Duke has dubbed the “Clean Energy Connection Program.”
While utilities have rushed to build solar-power plants during the past few years, the Duke program has a financial structure that involves some customers volunteering to initially pay more on their electric bills to help finance the projects - and then receiving bill credits in the future.
