Review of 2008 Ten-Year Site Plans - Public Service Commission

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withdrawn its RFP for a 555 MW combined cycle generator planned for 2013.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withdrawn its RFP for a 840 MW combined cycle generator planned for 2013.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