2020 - COVID-19 HAL Cruise - Ft. Lauderdale - Port Everglades Energy Center
Rotterdam is docked at Port Everglades and we are waiting for what will happen to the passengers next so click, click, click.
Near the port terminal is a Florida Power & Light (FPL) electricity generating plant.
The Port Everglades power plant is #1 of 3 Power Plants in Fort Lauderdale, #2 of 6 Power Plants in Broward County, #62 of 276 Power Plants in Florida.
The first of the plant's four units went into operation at this location in 1960. That plant was demolished in 2013. The current facility was commissioned 01 April 2016 with a generating capacity of 1,250 MW.
The original plant was constructed before the Clean Air Act was adopted in 1970. It burned oil to make electricity.
The new plant relies primarily on natural gas emitting 90 percent less air pollution.
The new facility also runs on 35 percent less fuel per megawatt-hour.
FPL is the principal subsidiary of NextEra Energy Inc. (formerly FPL Group, Inc.), a Juno Beach, Florida-based power utility company serving roughly 4.9 million accounts and 10 million people in Florida.
