# List of power stations in Florida

* Natural gas: 203,687 (76.7%)
* Nuclear: 29,054 (10.9%)
* Solar: 18,680 (7.04%)
* Coal: 7,846 (2.96%)
* Biomass: 2,975 (1.12%)
* Petroleum: 832 (0.31%)
* Hydroelectric: 223 (0.08%)
* Other: 2,109 (0.79%)
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in Florida, sorted by type and name. In 2023, Florida had a total summer capacity of 68,723 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 259,798 GWh.
As of 2024, Florida is the second largest generator of electricity in the nation behind Texas. Major producers include Florida Power & Light, Duke Energy, JEA, and TECO Energy.
In 2020, the average price of electricity in Florida was 10.06 cents per kWh, ranking 21st-highest in the United States. The carbon dioxide produced was 848 lbs per MWh, ranking 24th in the United States. The average price of electricity for residential use was 13.70 cents/kWh in February 2022, compared to 11.92 cents/kWh in February 2021.
The use of coal-fired generation has steadily declined as older equipment has been replaced with cleaner, more efficient natural gas production. The same is true for petroleum. Oil-fired generation fell from 17% in 2002 to 1% in 2022.
The cost of electricity in Florida has been historically lower compared to other states, which made solar investment less attractive, but the number of Photovoltaic power stations have been increasing in recent years as the cost has decreased. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory ranks Florida ninth nationally by strength of resource. The Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center is the only Concentrated solar power plant in Florida.
Waste-to-energy (WtE) is the process of converting waste material into usable energy, specifically electricity. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection stated that there were eleven WtE facilities in the state as of 2022, all in central or south Florida. Covanta operates a majority of the plants.
The flat terrain in Florida limits the potential use of Hydropower. In fact, the highest point in the state is only 345 feet above sea level.
As of 2017, there were only two hydroelectric facilities in Florida, and the C. H. Corn Hydroelectric Generating Station was taken out of service in 2022.
Florida had no utility-scale wind generating facilities in 2024 and lawmakers passed legislation to ban offshore turbines. The state has lower wind speeds making it less ideal and the yearly Atlantic hurricane season poses a high risk to wind turbine equipment.
