The Stanton Energy Center, also known as the Curtis H. Stanton Energy Center, is a solar, gas and coal-fired power plant located in Orlando, Florida.

Unit 1, originally scheduled for decommissioning on May 31, 2026, was forced by an order from the U.S. Department of Energy to continue operating through September 1, 2026. The center is named after Curtis Stanton, who served as the former general manager of the Orlando Utilities Commission for 35 years.
