Ten-Year Site Plans Show Need for Fuel Diversity and Transmission Planning. Florida Public Service Commission News Release, 12/19/06. "The Review of 2006 Ten-Year Site Plans for Florida's Electric Utilities (Review) approved by the Public Service Commission (PSC) identifies the need for greater fuel diversity and additional coordinated transmission planning. The Ten-Year Site Plans, submitted annually by eleven utilities and reviewed by PSC staff, indicate that the state's utilities plan to construct about twice as much new gas-fired capacity as solid fuel capacity by 2015. In the Review, staff recommended steps toward wider fuel diversity including encouraging renewable generation and increased demand-side management. Construction of additional solid fuel plants like clean coal and nuclear are also encouraged to achieve a more balanced fuel supply." http://www.psc.state.fl.us/home/news/index.aspx?id=205 -- ********************************************************************** Dr. Ann C.
