“Florida Power & Light Co. is pursuing a plan to build a $116 million solar energy center on the site of a former orange grove just south of Barefoot Bay.
Representatives of the utility have been meeting in recent weeks with community groups in South Brevard County about the plan. On Thursday evening, FPL plans to make a presentation to Brevard County commissioners as part of the utility’s request for zoning changes that would clear the way for construction of the facility later this year.
In a presentation last week to the advisory Brevard County Local Planning Agency, representatives of the project said the proposed Barefoot Bay Solar Energy Center would be built on a 462-acre site, and would generate 74.5 megawatts of power, which is enough energy to power about 15,000 homes.”
