Floridians Seek To Let the Sunshine In Via Solar Power PPAs
Florida, the Sunshine State, is infamously unfriendly to the solar market. Despite the abundance of prime sunshine, which ranks the state third in the nation for solar potential, less that 1/10th of 1 percent of Florida’s energy comes from solar photovoltaics. Floridians for Solar Choice is a grassroots ballot initiative that is trying to move beyond the status quo by removing the barrier that currently makes 3rd party power purchasing agreements (PPAs) illegal in Florida.
The Floridians for Solar Choice initiative is a movement by Florida’s citizens and businesses who are fed up with the monopoly utilities’ influence at the Florida Legislature that has prevented the development of solar in the Sunshine State.
