The solar cell installation will be comprised of 250,000 photovolatic solar panels providing 74 megawatts of power and cover 500 acres of land west of Everhigh Acres Road on the south side of SR80.
There may be extra traffic in the area during the construction phase.
It is expected to be complete by the spring of 2024 and FPL says upon completion it will not require staff for daily operations.
A similar project is in Charlotte County, powering the new town of Babcock Ranch.
FPL says the Hendry county project would create enough energy to power about 15,000 homes.
FPL claims the project would "increase the County's tax base by millions over the expected life of the project."
