UTILITIES
FPL Group, Iberdrola, Scottish & Southern Energy
In just a few years, FPL Group, the parent of Florida Power & Light, has emerged from its home market to develop solar and wind energy projects that span 24 states -- more than any other big energy player in the U.S. The Jupiter (Fla.) utility is also regarded as a leader in communicating such efforts to its shareholders. Across the Atlantic, Scottish & Southern Energy, based in Britain, sets a high standard for clean energy, as well: Renewable assets represent 17% of its total capacity. At Spain's Iberdrola, one of Europe's fastest-growing diversified utilities, renewable energy is a top growth goal too. Already one of the Continent's largest wind developers, the Bilbao-based utility is pursuing wave power and is developing some of the world's largest offshore wind farms.
