Summary[edit]

Description

English: As part of a ribbon-cutting ceremony held on June 11, 2021, Janet Petro, acting director of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, signs a solar panel which will be put on display at the Visitor Complex to commemorate the Florida Power and Light’s (FPL) Discovery Solar Energy Center becoming operational at the center. Discovery Solar Energy Center is a 74.5-megawatt solar site, spanning 491 acres at the spaceport. The site contains about 250,000 solar panels in total, producing enough energy to power approximately 15,000 homes. Harnessing energy from the Sun, the panels do not directly power anything at Kennedy, but rather, send energy directly to FPL's electricity grid for distribution to existing customers. Construction began in spring 2020, and the energy center became fully operational on May 30, 2021.
