Overview

RULE:

Electric Utility Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program - General Provisions

PURPOSE:

The department is initiating rulemaking to cap greenhouse gas emissions from the electric utility sector such that by 2017, statewide utility sector emissions not exceed year 2000 levels; by 2025, emissions not exceed 1990 levels; and by 2050, emissions not exceed 20 percent of 1990 levels. The department proposes to create new rule Chapter 62-285, F.A.C., Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction, and develop new Rule 62-285.300, F.A.C., Electric Utility Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program, to accomplish this purpose. The effect of the rule would be to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from electric generating units. The department will not be offering any rule proposals at the August 22 workshop. The purpose of this first workshop is to provide an opportunity for interested persons to provide comments and recommendations to the department at the outset of the proposed rule development project. Written comments may be submitted to the contact person listed below.
