The City of Tallahassee’s Clean Energy Resolution (19-R-04) set a target of achieving 100% net, clean renewable energy no later than 2050 or sooner as technology advances and the rate at which the price of clean renewable energy production and storage decline.
The City operates two large solar facilities located at the property of the Tallahassee International Airport (TLH). Solar Farm 1, which is 20 megawatts, sits on 120 acres and Solar Farm 2, which is twice as big at 40 megawatts, sits on 240 acres. Since February 2020, a portion of the solar energy output from the solar farm has been allocated to cover the energy needs of all City-owned buildings, the first city in Florida to be powered by clean energy. The balance of solar energy generated has been fully-subscribed to the 1,600+ residential and commercial participants in the Tallahassee Solar program.
