All-Requirements Project December Load Statistics

The All-Requirements Project’s non-Contract Rate of Delivery peak for the month of December was 893 MW, which occurred Dec. 11 between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. The project’s load factor for December was 64%. Load factor is a ratio of actual energy (MWh) used during the period versus what would have been consumed if demand was at peak for the entire period. A higher load factor indicates more effective system utilization and results in lower average costs. The monthly peak was 112% of the budgeted peak, and energy was 98% of the budget. A graph showing the All-Requirements Project monthly load for December is available on the Portal. Contact: Jim Atz

 

 

THIS WEEK

 

Bartow Contract

The power supply contract between FMPA and the City of Bartow went into effect Monday. Under the contract, Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) will supply Bartow with up to 40 MW of electricity. When demand exceeds that amount, FMPA will supply 20 MW, and potentially more, to fulfill the city’s power needs. In 2021 and 2022, Bartow will purchase all of its power from FMPA.

INDUSTRY NEWS

 

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/252368-state-reopens-search-fill-public-service-commission-spot> style=color: windowtext;>PSC Search Reopened

The search process was started again last week to fill an open spot on the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC). Ritch Workman, who was originally appointed in September by Gov. Rick Scott, withdrew following sexual misconduct allegations. The PSC Nominating Council has set Jan. 12 as the application deadline. Prior to Workman’s withdrawal, his term was scheduled to begin Tuesday following the expiration of Ronald Brise’s term.

 

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/252467-regulators-look-need-two-power-plants> style=color: windowtext;>PSC to Hear Seminole Power Plant Requests

Seminole Electric Cooperative filed last week for a determination of need from the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) for two new natural-gas fueled power plants. Seminole wants to build a 1,050 MW unit on an existing plant site in Putnam County and a 573 MW unit in Pasco County that would be owned by a subsidiary of General Electric. The cooperative has filed a site certification application with the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings for the Putnam County project. In the petitions filed with the PSC, Seminole said it has a “significant need for additional power in 2021 and 2022 that stems, in part, from the expiration of agreements to purchase electricity from other sources. The new Pasco County plant, which would be adjacent to the existing Shady Hills power plant, would start operating Dec. 1, 2021, according to the filings. Seminole would have a 30-year contract to buy power produced at the plant. The Putnam County plant, if approved, is projected to begin commercial operation on Dec. 1, 2022.
