The NextEra Energy subsidiary, created 28 December 1925, serves about 12 million people and projects about 12,293 megawatts of new solar statewide from 2026 through 2035 in its Ten Year Site Plan [FPLP][TYSP]. The module's owner table carries FPL at 30,115 acres inside the region [MOD]. FPL's agricultural acres are resolved parcel roll holdings within the six county 2025 agricultural base; they are not installed solar acreage and should not be read as the footprint of operating solar facilities [MOD].
