The story features FPL President and CEO Eric Silagy.

ā€œWith one milestone after another, FPL is following through on its steadfast commitment to make Florida a leader in sustainability and resiliency as we consistently deliver Americaā€™s best energy value ā€“ electricity thatā€™s not just clean and reliable, but also affordable,ā€ said FPL President and CEO Eric Silagy. ā€œIn June, we said goodbye to coal by dismantling FPLā€™s last coal plant in Florida just as we surpassed 40% of the way toward completing our ā€™30-by-30ā€™ plan to install 30 million solar panels by 2030. Soon, the worldā€™s largest solar-powered battery will begin serving customers, and weā€™ll turn our attention to an innovative green hydrogen pilot project ā€“ which could unlock the potential for a 100% carbon-free energy future.ā€
