Does anyone know what the percentages are for SECO and Duke?

SECO is a local cooperative distributor and buys power in Florida from Florida Generators. The mix from their suppliers is :
36 % Coal
63% Natural Gas
1% Solar
Duke is national so here is their national mix with some notes about Florida:
24.2 % Purchased and net exchange
34.2 % NG and Oil
26.6 % Nuclear (None in Florida, Crystal River unit has been decommissioned)
13.5% Coal ( two units in Crystal River)
1.5 % Solar and hydro
So Duke Florida is mostly fossil fuels as far as I could determine quickly. Florida Nuclear is mainly FL Power and Light.
