The Florida municipal utility company OUC recently celebrated the grand opening of its largest solar center in history. The project is located east of Saint Cloud, covering an area of over 600 acres with a total installed capacity of 149 megawatts, which will more than double OUC's existing solar installed capacity.

The addition of Harmony II and Storey Bend solar centers brings the total capacity of the OUC solar energy combination to 271.5 megawatts - generating enough solar energy to power 50000 typical OUC households.

On April 10th, leaders from OUC, AdventHealth, and Comcast NBCUniversal gathered in Osiola County to unveil Harmony II and Storey Bend Solar Center. These two companies have signed contracts as major tenants, leasing a significant portion of the electricity from each solar center through OUC's SunChoice community solar project. The SunChoice project enables commercial and residential customers to support solar energy while offsetting all or part of their electricity consumption. Customers do not need to install or maintain infrastructure themselves to achieve their sustainable development goals.

At OUC, we believe that renewable energy is not only a pathway to clean energy, but also a part of the future business development of Central Florida, "said Clint Bullock, OUC General Manager and CEO. With the official launch of these two solar centers, OUC's solar power generation capacity will more than double and help our customers achieve their clean energy goals, while realizing our vision of becoming an innovative solution provider and preferred partner in Central Florida

AdventHealth will offset 50% of its energy consumption within the OUC service area by subscribing to Harmony II solar centers. The parent company of Universal Studios destination and experience, Comcast NBCUniversal, will purchase and compensate 45% of the current operating energy consumption of Universal Studios Resort in Orlando by ordering the Storey Bend Solar Center.

AdventHealth Orlando CEO Rob Deininger said, "By providing clean, renewable energy, we are committed to creating a healthier environment and improving the well-being of our service recipients through our commitment to holistic healthcare services. AdventHealth is committed to reducing its impact on the environment, which will help Central Florida residents feel healthy for generations to come
