Project Overview
Florida has emerged as one of the nation's most important solar markets, ranking among the top states for installed solar capacity and continuing to invest heavily in clean energy infrastructure. This project contributes to that momentum.
The 108.03-megawatt solar facility will add new renewable generation capacity to Florida's electric grid while expanding clean energy resources throughout the state. As the customer's Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) partner, Mortenson is delivering the project from initial planning through commissioning, helping bring critical energy infrastructure online safely and efficiently. Once operational, the project will generate enough renewable electricity to meet the annual energy needs of nearly 13,000 Florida homes, further strengthening the state's clean energy portfolio.

Innovation in Action
The project utilizes First Solar Series 6 and Series 7 modules. This technology increases energy production potential and helps maximize site performance throughout the life of the facility.
Combined with proven construction practices and Mortenson's extensive renewable energy expertise, the project is designed to deliver reliable, long-term value for Florida customers.
Powered by People
Every successful project begins with the people who build it.
At this site, Mortenson's team of engineers, project managers, safety professionals, craft workers and trade partners are working together to deliver a vital energy project while maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality and performance.
Their expertise and commitment help ensure the project is completed efficiently while creating infrastructure that will serve Florida communities for decades.
Building Our Energy Future
Florida is now home to more than 20 gigawatts of installed solar capacity and ranks among the nation's leading solar states, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. As economic development and electrification continue to increase energy demand, investments in utility-scale solar will play an increasingly important role in supporting the state's energy future.
This project demonstrates how strategic partnerships and proven project delivery can help meet those needs. Through the collaboration between Mortenson and the customer, the project will contribute to a stronger, more resilient and increasingly diversified energy system for Florida.
The Fort Pierce solar project is expected to be completed by mid-2027.
