LCG, May 14, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today that it is proposing a rule to revise wastewater limits, known as effluent limitations guidelines (ELG), for steam electric power plants that will help improve grid reliability and lower electricity prices while continuing to support clean and safe water resources. If finalized, the EPA's proposal is estimated to reduce electricity generation costs by as much as $1.1 billion annually, which could provide cost-savings to American consumers.

Florida PSC Approves Energy Contract for Biomass Power Plant
LCG, February 13, 2008--The Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) yesterday approved a second, 20-year, power purchase agreement (PPA) between Progress Energy Florida (Progress) and BG&E Florida (BG&E) for firm capacity and energy from a planned power plant that will be fueled by biomass. BG&E will operate the power plant as a Qualifying Facility ("QF") pursuant to regulations of the FPSC.
The plant electric generating capacity will be 75 MW, and the fuel will include waste wood products such as yard trimmings, tree bark and wood knots from paper mills. The project is scheduled to commence operations by June 1, 2011. BG&E will build, own and operate the facility.
The FPSC approved a PPA between Progress and BG&E for a similar biomass power plant in November of last year. Operations for this plant are scheduled to commence by January 1, 2011. The initial facility will also have a maximum generating capability 75 MW and use a gasified biomass product as its primary fuel.
