Florida's generating fleet in context

Florida's generating fleet holds 81.1 GW of nameplate capacity across 346 plants, ranking third largest by capacity among the fifty states and the District of Columbia as of May 2026. This capacity represents what the equipment could produce running flat out, not what it actually generated.

Natural gas dominates the fleet at 62.6% of capacity across 65 plants, followed by solar at 17.3% across 225 installations. Coal accounts for 8.2% with 3 plants, and nuclear for 6.3% with 2 plants. The remaining 4.9% comes from other sources and 0.7% from battery storage, with hydro contributing 0.1%. The five largest plants are the West County Energy Center, a natural gas facility with 4,263 MW; Crystal River, a coal plant with 3,449 MW; Turkey Point, a nuclear station with 2,978 MW; Manatee, a natural gas plant with 2,951 MW; and Fort Myers, a natural gas facility with 2,681 MW. The oldest plant in the fleet came online in September 1950, while the newest, Jumper Creek Solar Plant, entered service in April 2026.

Frequently asked questions

How many power plants are there in Florida?
Florida has 346 operable power plants with a combined nameplate capacity of 81.1 GW, the 3rd largest generating fleet of the 51 states and DC. 344 of them are currently in service.
What is the largest power plant in Florida?
West County Energy Center in Palm Beach County, a natural gas plant with 4,263 MW of capacity across 12 generating units, first online in August 2009.
What fuel do Florida's power plants use?
Natural gas accounts for the largest share of Florida's generating capacity — 50,730 MW, or 62.6% of the total, across 65 plants. Solar follows at 17.3%, Coal follows at 8.2%, Nuclear follows at 6.3%. Note this is capacity, not generation — what the fleet could produce, not what it did.
What is the oldest power plant in Florida?
Fernandina Plant is the oldest still operable, with its earliest unit entering service in September 1950. The most recent addition is Jumper Creek Solar Plant, online since April 2026.
