Solar-produced electric energy is expected to account for 30 percent of FSU’s consumption in the next year. That’s a five-fold leap from 2018 when solar accounted for about 6 percent. FSU will draw that power from one of the city’s two solar farms. (Photo courtesy of the City of Tallahassee)
An updated agreement between Florida State University and the City of Tallahassee will double the amount of solar-generated electricity the university can draw from the city for the next 15 years.

It also fits squarely within the university’s strategic plan to make solar-generated electricity account for 20% of its overall consumption.
