The Florida Municipal Power Agency Harmony Solar Energy Center in Osceola County.

JEA will enter into a $400.8 million, 20-year agreement to buy solar power from the Florida Municipal Power Agency and receive it via Florida Power & Light Co. transmission lines.

According to JEA Director of Content and Media Relations Karen McAllister, the power from the agreement will be about 2.6% of JEA’s energy mix. 

The agreement comes two months after JEA released its seven-year renewable energy goal of generating 35% of its electricity using renewable and clean energy sources by 2030.
