Energy and
Outreach Efforts
Climate Mitigation Commitments
80 % reduction in GHG emissions by 2050
20% renewable energy goal
7% below 1997 by 2015
0% emissions by 2030
Progress
Comprehensive review of solar opportunities
Evaluation of parks, libraries, and facilities
Targeting a total of 8 sites
6 rooftop, 2 parking canopies
Selected base on roof age, condition, and average energy consumption
Estimated 2MW of total production
Offset 54% of energy demand on average
Parking Canopy
Exploring opportunity
to couple with EV
charging.

Great Advancement that…
Provides on-site reduction in energy demand
Provide visible demonstration of county’s commitment to renewable energy
Aids in mainstreaming solar
But…
Overall, limited opportunity for retrofit of existing county facility, based on building usage, ownership, roof condition
Seek to maximize integration with new construction and at time of roof replacement
Alternative models will be required for large scale renewable
FPL Solar Together Program
Announced Nov. 28
FPL Solar Together Program
Proposed subscription cost: $6.76/kW (fixed—will not
increase)
Subscribers receive credit of $0.0308/kWh (credit amount
therefore depends on energy produced); credit rate rises
each year
No upfront cost, no contract
Total program size uncertain, but likely 250-450 MW range
FPL Solar Together Program
Board approved preregistration on 12/11/2018
Detailed analysis of agency billing county-wide
Broward County finalized pre-register for 132 MW subscription
Intended to offset 100% of County operations electricity consumption
General Fund and Enterprise Agencies
Port Everglades, FLL Airport, and Water and Wastewater Services
County is unlikely to receive full subscription request at program
onset
Fiscal Considerations
Subscription cost in 100% scenario is approximately
$362,000
Declines annually with “credit” and by year 5, County is
earning money
By year 7, County recovers initial higher expenditures and
cumulative impact is positive
Clean Fleet and Regional E/V
Internal proposal to expand E/V infrastructure to support clean fleet goal
Coordination involving fleet services, FPL and construction management division
1st phase - Initial investment in upgrading appurtenant infrastructure and vehicles
30 charging station for fleet vehicles (6 sites)
8 charging stations – public and employees (2 sites)
2nd phase – regional program
Build out of E/V network
Partnership with private sector
Incentives program

experience has proven to be a great way to
introduce students to climate science and
getting them interested in future projects,
occupations and solutions.”-FIU
