Seminole Electric Coop Files to Construct New Coal Plant
LCG, March 15, 2006--Seminole Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Seminole) filed last week with the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) for a Certificate of Need to construct a 750-MW, coal-fired electric generating unit in Putnam County, Florida. Seminole also filed with Florida's Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) a Site Certification Application for the unit on March 9.
Seminole's proposal is to add a third, coal-fired unit at its existing 1,300 MW Seminole Generating Station. The current schedule calls for commercial operations to commence on May 1, 2012. The project is estimated to cost $1.4 billion and includes investments of over $250 million to improve emission controls at the existing coal units.
Seminole states that the new capacity is needed to provide reliable, economical energy supplies to its ten member systems in Florida
