A planned city in Florida, Babcock Ranch, will receive a 75-megawatt solar plant from the Florida Power & Light with the aims of becoming completely solar power self-sufficient.

The massive photovoltaic project will be one of the largest, if not the largest, solar power projects in the world and will cost upwards of $350 million with construction beginning late this year.

The developers, Kitson & Partners, are hoping to see Babcock Ranch become the world’s first city to be 100 percent solar energy reliant.

“Electric vehicles, able to plug in for recharge at convenient community-wide recharging stations, will glide along avenues beneath the glow of solar-powered street lamps. Ingenious, revolutionary Smart Grid technologies will monitor and manage energy use while Smart Home technology will allow residents to operate their homes at maximum efficiency, thereby reducing energy costs,” states Kitson & Partners.
