Project Overview
The Madison solar project reflects Mortenson's continued focus on building clean energy solutions in Florida and across the United States.
Through its integrated delivery model, Mortenson serves as the customer's Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor and manages commissioning, helping streamline project execution while maintaining a strong focus on safety and quality.
Once complete, the 104.3-megawatt solar facility will add renewable generation capacity to Florida's electric grid, supporting the customer's commitment to building a stronger, smarter and more resilient energy system. The project will generate enough clean electricity to meet the annual energy needs of approximately 12,000 Florida homes, helping strengthen the state's energy portfolio while supporting its growing population and economy.

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.
Building Resilience Through Infrastructure Investment
Florida's energy infrastructure faces the challenge of meeting rapid electricity demand growth while preparing for some of the nation's most severe weather conditions.
Communities across the state depend on a reliable electric system that can withstand disruptions from hurricanes and tropical storms — and recover quickly when severe weather strikes. As Florida continues investing in grid modernization and resiliency, utility-scale renewable energy projects are a critical part of that strategy.
Powered by People
Reliable energy infrastructure takes shape long before a project generates its first megawatt. It starts with the people responsible for planning, building and delivering systems that Florida communities depend on every day.
In Madison, Mortenson's team is focused on more than completing a construction project. They are creating infrastructure designed to support Florida's evolving energy needs and contribute to a stronger, more resilient electric system that delivers lasting value for the communities it will serve.
Building Our Energy Future
As electricity demand rises and weather-related risks continue to shape energy planning across the country, resilience has become a defining priority for utility companies, developers and infrastructure partners alike.
This project demonstrates how strategic investment and strong partnerships can help support a more resilient energy future. Through the collaboration between Mortenson and the customer, the project will contribute to a stronger grid, a more diverse energy portfolio and greater energy security for Florida communities.
Construction is expected to be completed by early 2027.
