FL · State grid profile

Florida power grid

Florida's generation fleet is strongly led by natural gas, with solar now its second-largest capacity category in this dataset. Nuclear and coal remain meaningful parts of a system serving sustained population and electricity-demand growth.

Methodology

Transparent by design

State totals and fuel mix use finalized EIA-860 2024 generator data. The facility table uses the EIA-860 2025 Early Release and is preliminary. Data-center counts use OpenStreetMap community records and measure mapped coverage, not the full market.
