Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center
The Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center will be the second largest solar facility in the world and the largest solar plant of any kind outside of California. The facility will also be the first hybrid facility in the world to connect a solar facility to an existing combined-cycle power plant, providing 75 megawatts of solar thermal capacity in an innovative way that directly displaces fossil fuel usage. The project will consist of up to about 200,000 mirrors over about 500 acres at the existing FPL Martin Plant site. Construction of the plant is planned to begin during the fourth quarter of 2008 with an in-service date during the second quarter of 2010.
