US-based clean energy firm NextEra Energy and parent of utility, Florida Power & Light has officially acknowledge a massive solar module supply deal with leading ‘Silicon Module Super League’ (SMSL) member, JinkoSolar.

NextEra Energy said in a joint statement that it had amended a previously unannounced supply deal with JinkoSolar that increases it to a total of 2,750MW over a four year period. The SMSL had previously announced in January that it had secured a 1,700MW supply deal in US over three year period, without identifying the purchaser. The SMSL had also recently announced that it would build its first module assembly plant in the US in Jacksonville, Florida with very few details made public.

However, the joint statement noted that JinkoSolar would operate a state-of-the-art factory in Jacksonville with a nameplate capacity of 400MW. The supply deal with NextEra Energy assumes an annual demand of 687MW per annum over the four year agreement.
