Florida Power & Light (FPL), the state's biggest electric utility, has taken a step away from its reliance on fossil fuels with the launch of its 30-by-30 initiative. The company is also working to reduce carbon emissions by using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. The utility said its plan also calls for "making unprecedented investments" in battery storage technology to enable greater integration of solar energy. Analysts have estimated the project would require an "unprecedented" total solar capacity of between 8 GW to more than 10 GW. FPL is set to shutter its sole remaining coal plant, but retains nuclear and gas-fired facilities.
