The city of Gainesville has selected 50 projects totaling approximately 2.4 megawatts of additional capacity for the solar feed-in tariff this year. . .
Florida FIT
The intent of the Solar Feed-in-tariff (FIT) Program, also known as a solar energy purchase, is to provide a standard offer (non-negotiated) contract to those wishing to install solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and sell the energy to Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU). . .
Customers selected for the Solar Feed-in-tariff Program invest in their own solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to generate electricity and sell that energy directly to GRU under a 20-year, fixed-price contract. . .
Through September, arrays generating 14 megawatts of electricity have been installed through the program. . .
On Thursday, city commissioners gave initial approval to rates for next year that represent price decreases of approximately 44 percent and 42 percent since 2009 for the two categories of solar installations that have been part of the program from its inception. . .
