Project Information
If approved by the St. Lucie County Board of
Commissioners, the St. Lucie wind energy project would be the first wind project in
Florida.
The project would consist of up to six wind turbines built entirely on FPL property.
The project represents the addition of emissions-free, clean
energy today and for future generations in the state
of Florida.

Environmental Benefits
Will prevent more than 17,000 tons of carbon
dioxide (CO2) from entering the air each year.
This is equivalent to avoiding the emissions from
nearly 2,600 cars per year on Florida roads.
Uses no water and produces no waste. |

"…the WindLogics meteorological data show that
the wind power potential on the east side of Hutchinson Island
is significant and appears to be worth harnessing."
