Duke Energy Florida, One Tree Planted collaboration encourages customers to support the firm’s community solar program
In Florida, Duke Energy Florida said that through a collaboration with One Tree Planted, customers who subscribe to the company’s community solar program, Clean Energy Connection, will have the opportunity to support clean energy and contribute to restoration efforts at a state forest in Florida.
Through the program, Duke Energy Florida customers can subscribe to solar power and earn credits toward their electricity bills without the commitment of installing or maintaining rooftop panels. And, for every kilowatt a residential customer subscribes to the program before November15, the company will work with One Tree Planted to plant a tree in the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest in Polk County.
“At Duke Energy Florida, we are committed to delivering a cleaner, brighter energy future for our customers, communities and the environment,” said Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president. “By working with agencies like One Tree Planted, we are able to deliver on that commitment and provide customers with an opportunity to support renewable energy and protect Florida’s environment.”
The firm explained that customers subscribe to a portion of solar energy from the company’s Clean Energy Connection solar portfolio. The monthly subscription fee will help pay for the cost of construction and operation of the renewable energy centers and is conveniently added to a customer’s regular electric bill.
