Renewable Portfolio StandardIntroductionA Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS) requires electricutilities and other retail electric providers to supply a specifiedminimum amount of customer load with electricity from eligiblerenewable energy sources. RPS requirements can be used in bothregulated and unregulated state electricity markets and can helpstates achieve their renewable policy objectives.As of March 2009, RPS requirements or goals have been establishedin 33 states plus the District of Columbia (Figure 1). However, noRPS currently exists in Florida. Since 2006, lawmakers in Floridahave tried to establish an RPS for the State but failed. In 2006,the Florida Legislature added Section 366.92, F.S., authorizing theFlorida Public Services Commission (FPSC) to establish appropriate“goals” for renewable energy generation in the state. In 2009,the FPSC sent a draft RPS plan to be considered by the FloridaLegislature. The RPS was considered but never ratified in the twolegislative sessions after the draft was submitted. In 2012, Floridapassed on the opportunity to grow a renewable energy industry byeliminating any reference to a Florida Renewable Energy PortfolioStandard (RPS) from the Florida Statutes.Figure 16: States With RPS Requirements, 2009States with RPSStates with RPS GoalsSource: Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE), March 2Source: Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE),March 2009, www.dsireusa.orgCurrent Status of Renewable Energy in Electricity Generation in the State of FloridaFlorida Statues Section 366.91(2)(d) defines “Renewable energy” as “electrical energy produced from a method that uses one ormore of the following fuels or energy sources: hydrogen produced from sources other than fossil fuels, biomass, solar energy,geothermal energy, wind energy, ocean energy, and hydroelectric power. The term includes the alternative energy resource,waste heat, from sulfuric acid manufacturing operations and electrical energy produced using pipeline-quality synthetic gasproduced from waste petroleum coke with carbon capture and sequestration.”Florida utilities purchase 384.3 megawatts (MW) of firm renewable energy and 732 MW of non-firm (sporadically available)renewable energy (2011 FRCC cite). Florida utilities currently own 83.5 MW of renewable energy.• Only 1% in Net Energy for Load (GWh) is generated from renewable energy in 2011 and planned for 2020.• Existing Renewables Capacity is 1,282 MW (2.4% of total summer capacity).• Planned Renewables Capacity increases to 2,047 MW in 2020 (3.5% of total summer capacity).Scenarios ModeledFlorida RPS AssumptionsFigure 17: Fuel Mix (Summer Capacity (MW)), 2011 and 2020Figure 18: Fuel Mix (Net Energy for Load (GWh)), 2011 and 2020Source: Florida Reliability Coordinating CouncilSource: Florida Reliability Coordinating Council28 | ENERGY ASSURANCE STUDY
