A Florida Renewable Energy Amendment did not make the November 6, 2012 ballot in the state of Florida as an initiated constitutional amendment. If enacted this measure would have mandated that 20% of energy sold by an electric utility shall be derived from renewable sources by December 31, 2020. The proposal was introduced by the group, Florida Green Energy Initiative.[1]

See Energy policy in Florida for a full explanation of energy policy across the state.
