Power Park Expansion Breaks Ground

The co-owners of the Cane Island Power Park are pleased to announce that ground was broken March 27 on Cane Island Unit 4, an additional natural gas-fueled power generator at the Cane Island Power Park.

Construction of the $479 million project is expected to take approximately two years, creating temporary construction jobs and spending in the local, regional and state economies. When completed, the new generator will provide reliable, affordable, environmentally responsible electricity to 15 communities throughout the state, including the Central Florida communities of Kissimmee, Leesburg, Ocala and Bushnell, as well as Clewiston, Fort Meade, Fort Pierce, Green Cove Springs, Town of Havana, Jacksonville Beach, Key West, Lake Worth, Newberry, Starke and Vero Beach.

Reliable, affordable electricity is the lifeblood of the communities we serve, and the construction of Cane Island Unit 4 is an essential part of our plan to fulfill our power supply mission. We appreciate the community’s support in achieving this mission, and we look forward to continuing to be a good neighbor to the community for many years to come.
