The Future of Renewable Power Resources in Florida: Needs and Challenges

This report by Sun Energy Engineering, LLC explores Florida's renewable energy landscape, addressing the urgent need for in-state production versus import limitations for renewable resources. With a cap of approximately 4,600 MW for imports from Georgia, the challenges of expanding transmission infrastructure, alongside administrative efforts such as the Governor's Executive Order to cut fossil fuel consumption, paint a complex picture. The proposed Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) aims for 20% of the state's electric energy to come from renewables, highlighting the importance of the transition for utilities like Gainesville Regional Utilities.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Renewable Power Resources within Florida What are the needs, and why Prepared by Sun Energy Engineering, LLC

  2. Why “Within” Florida • Renewables either have to be imported or be produced within the State • Import limits into peninsular Florida from Georgia are limited at approx. 4,600 MW and are fully subscribed • Building new EHV transmission is problematic as well as expensive

  3. Impetus for RenewablesBoth Administrative and perceived • Governor’s Executive Order to reduce fossil fuel consumption to Year 2000 level • Governor’s request that Public Utility Commission impose a Renewable Portfolio Standard that 20% of ALL electric energy to be provided by renewables • Recognition by citizenry of need to limit greenhouse gas emissions • Economic effects of importing all fuels

  4. What Does a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Mean for Florida Utilities

  5. What Does a Renewable Portfolio Standard Mean for Gainesville Regional Utilities
