November 3, 2025 – A new Department of Energy report warns that without swift action, the U.S. faces growing risks to grid reliability as power plant retirements outpace new firm capacity.
Florida ranks as the third-largest energy consumer in the U.S., while relying heavily on natural gas for electricity generation. In 2024, natural gas fueled about 75 % of its net electricity, with renewables—especially solar—gaining ground.
The City of Lake Worth Beach Electric Utility—your Citizen Owned Energy—supports renewable energy by providing clear requirements for customers who wish to interconnect their systems. Through our Net Metering Program, residents can offset energy use with solar or other renewable sources, while ensuring compliance with Florida state rules. In alignment with national standards, we also publish our Facility Interconnection Requirements (FAC-001) and Interconnection Studies (FAC-002), which outline the technical specifications, safety protocols, and reliability assessments needed for grid interconnection. By maintaining these transparent requirements, we make the process straightforward for customers and uphold our commitment to reliability, safety, and sustainability.
