NextEra Energy aims to install solar energy project in Cape Girardeau County

In Florida, KFVS reported that NextEra wants to bring a huge solar energy project to Cape Girardeau County. NextEra Energy hopes to bring the Lutesville solar project to the Delta area in the next few years, according to the report. County Commissioners held a meeting on December 28 to learn how resident near the site felt about it. Cape County residents went to show their support for the Lutesville solar project, the report added. NextEra’s solar project will spread across 1,200 acres of land and the company is already renting that space. Cape County leaders also voted to approve a special tax agreement for NextEra. “A company comes to the county and this agreement allows us to negotiate a lower tax rate than normally they would pay but it incentivizes them to bring that business to the county, create jobs and create opportunities,” said presiding commissioner Clint Tracy.
