A Solar Farm In The Shape Of Mickey Mouse Is Coming To Florida, Seriously
Coal plants are being retired as natural gas and solar farms are getting built.
Power company Duke Energy plans to build a solar panel farm across 20 acres in Orlando, Florida, near Walt Disney World’s Epcot theme park in the shape of Mickey Mouse. The solar farm will be in the form of three circles that symbolize the famous mouse and will help power Disney’s sprawling resort complex.
Duke Energy will build and operate the five-megawatt, 48,000-panel solar farm. It will sell the power to the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which manages the land at Walt Disney World Resort. The Board of Supervisors for Reedy Creek Improvement District approved the deal, which is in the form of a 15-year power purchase agreement.
