Taking Initiative in the Solar Energy Landscape

JEA purchases energy from eight solar photovoltaics (PV) facilities, ranging from 1 MW AC to 12 MW AC in size, across the service territory.

Solar Facilities

Jacksonville Solar

Jacksonville Solar is a 15 MW DC solar photovoltaic (PV) facility located in west Jacksonville near Baldwin. It began generating energy in 2010. The facility is owned by PSEG Solar Source LLC and consists of approximately 200,000 photovoltaic panels on a 100 acre site. Juwi Solar, Inc., a Colorado-based developer and turn-key installer of solar power plants, provided the engineering, procurement and construction services. The solar project avoids approximately 22,430 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually while generating about 22,430 megawatt-hours of electricity a year, an amount equal to about what 1,450 households consume. The ground-mounted, fixed photovoltaic system uses 100 percent renewable energy (sunlight) and JEA receives all electricity and renewable energy credits generated by Jacksonville Solar for a 30-year term. JEA makes all of the environmental attributes (Renewable Energy Certificates or RECs) from this facility available to sell in order to lower rates for our customers. This large project establishes JEA as a leader in solar electricity generation and offers an educational opportunity for Jacksonville residents to learn about solar energy.

Northwest Jacksonville Solar Partners LLC

The Northwest Jacksonville Solar Partners LLC facility, previously referred to as Montgomery Solar, commissioned in May of 2017 and is near the Jacksonville International Airport on the City’s northside. This 7 MW site produced over 13,000 MWh in its first year. AlsoEnergy™ is providing a way to view live generation data.

Starratt Road Solar Facility

Commissioned in December 2017, the Starratt Road Solar facility is a 5 MW site located on the City’s northside. This site generated approximately 9,000 MWh in its first year of operation. 

Simmons Road Solar Facility

TThe 2 MW Simmons Road Solar facility commissioned in January of 2018 and is located on the City’s northside. The site generated about 3,500 MWh of electricity in the first year.

Blair Road Solar Facility 

The 4 MW Blair Road Solar facility is located on the City's westside. The site was commissioned in January 2018 and generated over 6,700 MWh in its first year. 

Old Kings Road Solar Facility 

The 1 MW Old Kings Road Solar facility commissioned in October 2018. This northside facility generated approximately 1,900 MWh in its first year.

Imeson (SunPort) Solar Facility 

The Imeson Solar facility, also known as SunPort, commissioned December 2019 and is located on the City’s northside. The site is comprised of a 5 MW solar PV array paired with a 2 MW, 4 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) that levels the solar generation. This BESS is the first utility scale battery system on the JEA grid. The facility is expected to generate approximately 15,000 MWh in its first year of operation.
