Gainesville City Commission approves large-scale solar farm project

In Florida, BIC Magazine reported that the Gainesville City Commission unanimously approved a contract amendment to the FL Solar 6 project, a 75-megawatt solar plant about 15 miles west of downtown Gainesville. The report noted that the amendment allows for an expansion of the plant. FL Solar 6 is the result of negotiations between Gainesville Regional Utilities and Origis Energy, a Miami-based solar power development company. The project aims to construct a facility with the goal of producing 75 megawatts of solar energy a day and 24 megawatts for energy storage. The report also noted that the new solar plant is expected to enter into commercial operations by the end of next year.
