The board voted 7-0 in favor of the energy efficiency and carbon reduction targets, part of JEA''s yearlong Electric Integrated Resource Plan process, during its April 25
11.5% of global renewable energy comes from solar power. The largest renewable source is currently hydroelectric (57.7%) followed by wind (21.4%), according to the
JEA now gets just 1% to 2% of its electricity from renewable energy, mainly produced by eight small solar farms that provide a total of 39 megawatts of production.
The amount of money you can save with solar depends upon how much electricity you consume, the size of your solar energy system, if you choose to buy or lease your system, and how much
Building upon this clean energy leadership, JEA has recently expanded its solar initiatives, providing a range of solar energy options for residential customers, local businesses and the

Brandy Branch Generating Facility Our Electric Business JEA owns and operates an electric system that includes four generating plants, over 745 circuit miles of transmission lines and more than 7,200 miles of distribution lines. JEA also
Less than 2% of its electricity comes from solar and other renewables, JEA Managing Director and CEO Jay Stowe said recently, conceding that "we have not done a good enough job with our available portfolio."
JEA has been producing solar energy since the 1990s. Currently, JEA receives clean energy from 8 solar facilities across Northeast Florida, with capacities ranging from 1 megawatt (MW) to 12 MW. How Solar Energy Works Light hits
"We are looking at adjusting rates, increasing rates in the coming year and it does play a factor," JEA spokesperson Karen Mcallister said. JEA''s goal is to have 35% clean
JEA also purchases solar energy from several small third-party owned solar resources located across the service territory. In 2024, the mix of resource types used to supply energy to
Non-SolarMax customers'' solar percentage is based on JEA''s energy mix, which currently sits at just 1% from renewable sources. That means the utility is heavily reliant

With a goal of achieving 35% of its energy mix from clean sources by the year 2030, JEA is not just talking the talk; it''s walking the walk. The utility''s approach centers largely
The ground-mounted, fixed photovoltaic system uses 100 percent renewable energy (sunlight) and JEA receives all electricity and renewable energy credits generated by Jacksonville Solar for a 30-year term.
JEA purchases energy from eight solar photovoltaics (PV) facilities, ranging from 1 MW AC to 12 MW AC in size, across the service territory. Jacksonville Solar is a 15 MW DC solar photovoltaic (PV) facility located in west Jacksonville near Baldwin. It began generating energy in 2010.
Stowe said JEA would still need 500 to 600 more megawatts from solar to reach its 2030 clear energy targets. “We just didn’t do what we needed to do along the way to be at 4% (renewable energy) today.
JEA has some small-scale solar farms such as arrays on JEA property at the Brandy Branch Generating Station. An ongoing plan for how to deliver electricity in the future is examining an expansion of such solar farms to add renewable energy to the mix.
JEA officials said Unit 3 of the delayed nuclear Plant Vogtle expansion near Waynesboro, Georgia, which will produce carbon-free electricity, is projected to start providing energy for JEA in May or June. Unit 4 could be in service in the fourth quarter of 2023 or first quarter of 2024.
In addition to the clean energy increase, the plan says by 2030 JEA will: • Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 80% from 2005 levels. • Retire less-efficient power generation. • Power JEA facilities with 100% clean energy. • Offset vehicle and other electrification demand with energy efficiency programs.
