“We’ve transformed Florida’s clean energy landscape by reducing emissions while keeping customer bills low,” said FPL president and CEO, Eric Silagy.

“Along with our plan to install more than 30m solar panels by 2030, we’re committed to our comprehensive vision for a more sustainable future through the electrification of transportation.

“Our new FPL EVolution programme will help the State significantly expand the amount of EV charging stations, so more Floridians can enjoy the benefits of using electric vehicles.”

FPL EVolution will drive EV education, infrastructure and adoption with a plan to install charging stations in more than 100 locations across Florida.

The programme will see more than 1,000 EV charging points installed, which will increase the amount of charging by nearly 50%.

In addition, the company is promoting the electrification of school buses. In a partnership with the city of West Palm Beach, FPL announced the State’s first electric school buses.

The five buses will support the city’s Parks and Recreation Department and also store clean energy.

When the buses are not running morning pick-ups and afternoon drop-offs, the batteries can provide power to the energy grid, including during peak times of the day when it is needed most.
