Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
FIU's electricity is purchased from Florida Power and Light. FPL uses a diverse mix of fuels to generate reliable electricity. Because of their fuel mix, FPL is recognized as a clean energy company, with one of the lowest emissions profiles among U.S. utilities. FPL’s carbon dioxide emissions rate, for example, is 35 percent better than the industry average. FPL currently obtains most of their electricity from clean-burning natural gas. Nuclear power, which produces no greenhouse gas emissions, is responsible for another significant portion of power production. In addition, FPL has begun operation of three commercial-scale, emissions-free solar energy facilities in Florida.
72.49% Natural Gas
14.93% Nuclear
