Duke Energy Florida has completed two new solar energy sites: Half Moon Renewable Energy Center in Sumter County and Rattler Renewable Energy Center in Hernando County.

The two solar sites each produce 74.9 MW of clean energy that have been added to the electric grid. These sites are part of the first phase of an agreement with the Florida Public Service Commission to build 12 new solar sites between 2025 and 2027. Together, these 12 sites will create 900 MW of energy and save customers a total of approximately $3 billion throughout their service lifetimes.
“Our customers are the motivation for our ongoing solar energy expansion — as they are for everything we do, every day,” said Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president. “Each new solar site creates considerable savings for them, while diversifying and strengthening our generation fleet, ensuring we’re delivering on our commitment to providing safe, reliable energy at the lowest price possible.”
