FL Bill Would Include In Energy Task Force's Duties "Increasing Competition And Consumer Choice"

January 29,2018



SB 1038 has been filed in the Florida Senate which would create an Energy 2040 Task Force that would, among other things, be charged with determining how to best meet the state's electricity needs, "in an efficient, affordable, and reliable manner while increasing competition and consumer choice and ensuring adequate electric reserves."

"The Energy 2040 Task Force, a task force as defined in s. 20.03, Florida Statutes, is created within the Public Service Commission to project Florida’s electric energy needs over the next 20 years and determine how best to meet those needs in an efficient, affordable, and reliable manner while increasing competition and consumer choice and ensuring adequate electric reserves," the bill provides

Under the bill, the task force shall recommend appropriate electric policies for the state, including any necessary statutory changes. In making its need projections and determinations, the task force shall consider, among other things, all relevant topics, including, but not limited to:

Projections of the effects of allowing nonutility retail sales of renewable energy, including determinations and recommendations on what types of fuels and technologies should be included in the definition of the term “renewable energy” and what criteria, including restrictions, should be required of entities considered nonutility retail renewable energy producers.
