RPS REDs Amendment Integrate into RPS legislation 20% by 2020 German / Gainesville model; similar to CA Energy
Comm recommendation A RED for all < 20MW renewable producers Pricing determined cost of power + profit Pricing differentiated by size, technology Cheapest $/MWhr of RE for ratepayers Drive green jobs

What’s Required?
Adequate insolation/wind/bio (incoming solar radiation) – Sunshine State very high; 85% of max.
Long-term fixed pricing/same as utilities X
– Payment/Recovery mechanism
– Renewables priority grid access Available/affordable land near demand
– ~10,000 acres per 1000MW Simple siting and permitting process X
– Statewide Leadership for Renewables Entrepreneurs/Developers
– State must allow new entrants

Renewables – Why Bother?
Energy Security - Pickens/Woolsey Reduce dependency Russia/Ukraine, Gazprom, Chavez, Iran Grid security
Wealth Creation - Jobs – Friedman Higher local ownership; beneficial impact on local economy Germany employs 250,000 – forecasting 500,000; “Export
Machine” Germany – 2006 - Net benefit to country $9BN per annum
Environmental Benefits Biomass, wind, solar minimal CO2

Business Perspective – The Opportunity
VC investment in clean energy - $117 BN + 35% 2007 (NEF) Solar is a $ 30 billion industry – $120BN sales by 2011 - 50% CAGR
~$100BN stock market valuation for solar US solar producers largely for export; overseas cannot get enough US / Florida solar initiatives deeply flawed; deterring investment Florida is missing massive solar investment opportunity:
$5BN sales - export industry
Employing 25-50,000 people; Construction/Manufacturing, High tech R&D
Florida has ~ 2MW of solar. Germany installed over 2000MW in 2008 - $12BN Private Investment
23
Downward Spiral Global financial meltdown Less tax capacity & capital available by institutional investors
Federal Tax credits become “worthless”
Equity supply dries up; returns increase Fewer renewable energy projects
~3,000 MW less wind farms installed in US in ‘09 vs. ’08 Loss of ~38,000* “green collar” jobs

Regulatory Regimes – High Risk ROCs (UK)
RPS / RECs / SRECs (US)
Price risk for electricity
Price risk for the ROCs / RECs (usually)
Lending restricted to duration of RPS obligation and stability of regime
Price & volume risk reduces maturities; reduces leverage and increases price

Regulatory Regimes – Low Risk
Feed-in Tariffs
No price risk
No volume risk
Limited or no regulatory risk once project is built
Counterparty risk is utility/sovereign
Attracts more capital on better terms

Renewable Energy Dividendsor Feed in tariffs Simple, transparent – available to all
Priority access to the grid for all renewable producers
Long term standard offer contracts; fixed price guaranteed
– 20 years
Cost + reasonable profit (tba by PSC)
– Price Differentiation by size, technology
Price degression
– Germany 9-10% fall
– Spain 30%

Renewables - Issues ► Solution Utilities finance fossil fuel under 20 yr rate base
Guaranteed – cost pass through Renewables require same treatment; private sector will finance Solution:
Covers all renewables; solar likely to be most productive
RE priority access to grid, 20 yr contracts, differentiated pricing,
We need every school, church, farmer, household and real estate developer to become entrepreneurs & sell back power & so drive us to a more secure clean electricity future
FACT – happening now throughout Europe; growing in US

NREL Research Findings Countries with REDs:
Have highest RE deployment
Have highest job creation; highest economist benefits tied to industry, manufacturing & services
Have counter-intuitively delivered lower-cost RE generation than countries employing “competitive” policies like the RPS & RO in the UK

GRU Achieves First Year Target for Solar Program equaling $35MM of private investment
4MW completed applications; doubles FL capacity
“We are extremely excited about the popularity of the program - our efforts to stimulate the market have been successful,” said Bob Hunzinger, GRU GM
Guarantees purchase of all electricity produced by the PV system at a fixed rate for 20 years at $0.32 kwhr for customers for first 2 yrs
The rate of $0.32 per kilowatt hour will remain in effect for 2010, falls 5% per annum thereafter
