  6. Tampa Electric CompanyLatest Solar Project • Tampa Electric has announced that it is investigating the addition of a 25 MWDC PV project to its generation portfolio. The project will be constructed turnkey with an EPC firm. • The PV system will be sited near the Big Bend Station and the Manatee Viewing Center. • This generation resource will provide energy diversity and reduce fuel costs and will use existing Company land. • The site was selected due to its proximity to a 69kV transmission line and its visibility from US Highway 41 and the Company’s future Energy Technology Demonstration Center. • Tampa Electric is in the process of receiving bids from the marketplace and will soon determine the project’s next steps.
