Future Potentials

• Ocean Current Energy– Potentially huge resource for Florida– At least a decade from commercial viability– FAU established as a center of excellence– FPL monitoring and participating

• Closed Loop Biomass– E-grass facility recently approved– 15,000 to 18,000 acres required for 116 MW

plant

Summary

• Renewable generation critically depends upon the availability of the resource;

• Of the resources identified (WTE, LFB, Biomass), Florida is currently using 42.5% of the identified potential;

• Interest in new renewable development is high, and developers are actively bringing potentially viable projects to the utilities; and

• Innovative technologies to expand renewable opportunities in Florida are in development.
