The Space Coast Next Generation Solar Energy Center is a 10 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) facility at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Commissioned in April 2010, the center is the result of a partnership between NASA and Florida Power & Light. The facility has approximately 35,000 solar photovoltaic panels from SunPower covering an area of 60 acres. The facility provides slightly less than one percent of the power needed to keep Kennedy Space Center up and running.
Read more on WikipediaSpace Coast Next Gen Solar Energy is a 10 MW solar photovoltaic power plant located in Brevard County, Florida. The plant, which began operating in 2010, has one generator and utilizes fixed-tilt solar tracking. It is owned by NextEra Energy and operated by Florida Power & Light Co. The plant's primary fuel source is the sun.
In the most recent year of data, Space Coast Next Gen Solar Energy generated 8,582 MWh, achieving a capacity factor of 9.8%. The plant operates within the Florida Power & Light Company balancing authority and the SERC NERC region. According to available data, the installed cost of the plant was $6,197.94 per kW. Space Coast Next Gen Solar Energy ranks 193rd out of 227 power plants in Florida and 1891st out of 7108 plants nationally.

This plant is in a bilateral market territory without organized wholesale pricing. Nodal pricing data is not available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
