JEA - Green Power Program

JEA, your municipal utility, has committed to generating at least 7.5% of its electric capacity from clean energy sources like solar, wind, biomass, and landfill gas by 2015, and has already achieved 95 megawatts of clean power capacity. As a JEA customer, you benefit from this environmental commitment through cleaner power generation, though this is a utility-driven program rather than a direct customer incentive program.

JEA's Green Power Program is a utility-managed renewable energy and efficiency initiative, not a contractor-facing incentive program; eligible technologies include solar photovoltaic, wind, biomass, biogas from landfills and treatment plants, and on-site efficiency projects that increase output without additional fuel input. Contractors interested in JEA projects should engage directly with the utility's procurement processes, as this program focuses on utility-owned and operated installations.

JEA operates this voluntary Green Power Program under a 1999 Memorandum of Understanding with the Sierra Club and American Lung Association of Florida, targeting 7.5% clean energy capacity by 2015. The program encompasses utility-scale solar photovoltaic and thermal, wind, landfill gas, digester biogas, biomass, and efficiency retrofits (such as fogging systems on combustion turbines); as of the program description, JEA had achieved 95 megawatts of clean capacity across these technologies and is focused on portfolio diversification and emissions reductions at its own generating facilities.
