Developers plan first solar city at Babcock
UNDATED (AP) – Developers say they’re planning the world’s first completely solar-powered city in southwest Florida.
Syd Kitson, of the West Palm Beach-based Kitson & Partners, said Thursday that the new city will be powered by a $300 million 75-megawatt solar plant that Florida Power & Light plans to build in Charlotte County. He says the company plans to begin building homes on the large tract of land called Babcock Ranch by 2011.
