Florida PSC Approves Agreement for New Biomass Plant in Florida

LCG, August 17, 2006--The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) approved on Tuesday a petition for Progress Energy Florida (Progress) to buy energy produced by the Florida Biomass Energy Group, LLC (Florida Biomass) at a proposed 116-MW biomass plant located near Lake Okeechobee. The plant is scheduled to commence operations no later than December 2009.

The Florida PSC recently certified Florida Biomass as a qualifying facility (QF) based on the exclusive use of renewable energy, after start-up, for the proposed electric generation.

The renewable fuel for the proposed plant is a bamboo-like grass known as E-grass. The energy crop would be harvested at the 15,000 acre site and processed into a liquid fuel using a pyrolysis process. The plant will use combustion turbine-combined cycle technology, and the thermal fuel input will include combustible exhaust gases from the pyrolysis process.

When the negotiated contract was compared to a gas-fired, combined cycle alternative, Progress estimated the capacity and energy payments over the 25-year term of the negotiated contract would produce a savings of $39 million net present value to Progress's ratepayers. The majority of such savings are based on fuel costs.
