Based upon other utility filings and actions subsequent to the filing <strong>of</strong> the <strong>2008</strong> <strong>Ten</strong>-<strong>Year</strong> <strong>Site</strong><br />
<strong>Plans</strong>, approximately 5,000 MW <strong>of</strong> planned capacity may be delayed beyond 2017. TECO has<br />
withdrawn its RFP for a 555 MW combined cycle generator planned for 2013. Similarly, GULF has<br />
withdrawn its RFP for a 840 MW combined cycle generator planned for 2013. FPL’s repowering <strong>of</strong><br />
existing units has led to the deferral <strong>of</strong> a 1,219 MW combined cycle unit which was planned for 2014.<br />
Recent information filed in FPL testimony indicated that both 1,219 MW combined cycle units<br />
planned for 2016 are no longer part <strong>of</strong> FPL’s plans. Utilities have cited declining peak demand and<br />
energy projections as one reason for the recent changes. Table 12 below summarizes the utilities’<br />
proposed capacity additions as listed in the <strong>2008</strong> <strong>Ten</strong>-<strong>Year</strong> <strong>Site</strong> <strong>Plans</strong> which will require a<br />
determination <strong>of</strong> need. Units which may be deferred are shown in BOLD ITALIC CAPS.<br />
