Tampa commits to 100% clean energy

Tampa just became the largest city in Florida to adopt goals for a clean future.

In early August, the Tampa City Council voted 6-1 to adopt a resolution committing the city to be powered by 100 percent renewable sources of energy by 2035. The resolution pledges support for 100 percent clean electrification, electric vehicle infrastructure, energy efficiency and other citywide measures.

“Tampa is increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Rising sea levels, stronger and more frequent hurricanes, and hotter days put everything from our white sand beaches to our beloved wildlife at risk,” said Environment Florida’s State Director Jenna Stevens. “By setting a goal to repower our city with clean renewable energy, our local leaders are helping to protect everything that makes our city so special.”

In making this commitment, Tampa joins 11 other cities in Florida and 180 cities across the country that have made similarly bold commitments to renewable energy.
