Seminole Electric Cooperative, inc Planning For The Future

Because of the tight economy, the growth in member energy demand slowed from 2008 to 2009. As Florida and the rest of the country emerge from the current recession, it is expected that demand for energy will grow, fueled by our increasing use of electricity for modern conveniences. There also is the potential for additional demand caused by the use of plug-in vehicles that would reduce pollution from gasoline-fueled vehicle engines. Seminole is working to slow load growth through an energy efficiency and conservation program.

Because transmission constraints and Florida’s relative geographic isolation limit the amount of energy that can be imported from other states, Seminole must plan ahead to construct new generating facilities to ensure it has adequate energy to meet future demand.

We are actively seeking to partner with other utilities in the development of nuclear projects in Florida to add capacity while further diversifying our resource portfolio.

Seminole currently owns a 520 acre site in Gilchrist County that meets the basic requirements for a natural gas fueled generating station, and also has additional space for a supplemental solar facility.
