Since the year 2000, Tampa Electric has reduced coal usage by more than 90 percent. Over that same period, Tampa Electric has cut carbon dioxide emissions in half – even while the demand for power has increased 25 percent. The company has also kept bills well under the national average while it increased reliability. The next milestone is a 60 percent carbon reduction by 2025, and then an 80 percent reduction by 2040.
Tampa Electric has become the leading producer of solar energy per customer in the state. So far, the company has installed nearly 900 megawatts (MW) of solar. Tampa Electric is now generating enough solar energy to power 200,000 homes and has the highest percentage of solar power of any utility in Florida, with more to come.
