Tennessee lags in Southern Alliance for Clean Energy’s solar report
Florida is a leader in the report, and Southern Alliance director Stephen Smith said Florida Power & Light’s commitment to 90,000 megawatts of solar by 2045 “completely discounts what utilities say about clean energy not being profitable.” (Jim Weber/The Daily Memphian file)
The Southeast had substantial growth, according to the report, but Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi fell behind other states in the region in both installed solar capacity and watts per customer.
