PSC Commissioners to Conduct Rule Hearing on How to Promote Renewable
Generation

TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) will consider
proposals from a variety of interested parties on November 9 on how to
expand Florida's renewable generating industry.

The five Commissioners will hold a public hearing on rules to encourage
the development of additional renewable generation in Florida. Renewable
generators produce power from solid waste, plant matter, solar, and
other replenishing energy sources. Renewable generators were asked
earlier to provide specific rule language for discussion and
consideration by the commissioners at the hearing.

The hearing is part of a continuing PSC effort to promote additional
renewable energy generation in the State. "We want to make alternative
energy sources a more viable part of Florida's power generation
portfolio," said Chairman Lisa Polak Edgar.

The hearing will be held at the following date, time, and location:

Thursday, November 9, 2006
9:30 a.m.
Betty Easley Conference Center, Room 148
4075 Esplanade Way
Tallahassee, Florida
