What Florida power is made of

In plain words. Natural gas is the biggest source in Florida (73%), and the power made there is about as clean as the U.S. average per kWh. Plants with 211 MW are planned to retire by 2030. New plants with 3,192 MW are under construction.

In 2025 Florida plants of 1 MW or more made 268.3 TWh. The biggest sources: natural gas 73.0%, nuclear 11.4%, utility-scale solar 9.3%. For comparison, natural gas makes 40.9% of U.S. generation. Wind, solar and hydro together: 9.4% (22.6% for the U.S.). Florida plants only; imports and rooftop solar are not counted.
