LCG, December 18, 2025--RWE and Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M), an American Electric Power (AEP) company, today announced their partnering to provide new wind power generation capacity online to meet Indiana’s growing electricity demand. The companies signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the total output from RWE’s 200 MW Prairie Creek wind project in Blackford County, Indiana. I&M will purchase electricity from the wind project, which will further diversify its portfolio and be consistent with its all-of-the-above strategy to secure generation for its rapidly growing electricity demand.

Florida Committee Grapples with Electric Dereg
LCG, Jan. 19, 2001Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's Florida Energy 2020 Study Commission, due to place its recommendations before the governor next month, yesterday debated a proposal to allow out-of-state companies sell power to the state's utilities, the Miami Herald reported this morning.The paper said that state lawmaker are likely to take up the issue when the state legislature convenes in March, but Florida is unlikely to see retail electric competition soon. Groundwork could be laid for competition at the wholesale level, though.Some panel members questioned the urgency of even wholesale competition. "What's the rush?" asked Sandra Morthan, a former Florida secretary of state.In a meeting with the Herald's editorial board on Thursday, Bush said California's experience underscores the importance of proceeding speedily but carefully with deregulation in Florida. "It will require an act unknown in Tallahassee, which is to think and plan ahead of the crisis point," Bush said, adding later "The California thing should speed us up rather than slow us down."Bush said Florida's growing demand for energy will likely outstrip supply in less than 10 years, and perhaps as soon as in 8 years. It takes about five years for a new plant to come on line, he said, adding that deregulation of the state's wholesale market should come only after steps are taken to increase capacity.In Florida, large industrial and commercial electricity users are clamoring for the right to purchase power in a competitive market, but the state's big utilities, Florida Power & Light Co., Tampa Electric Co. and Florida Power Corp. are staunchly defending their turf against out-of-staters.Duke Energy Corp. was rebuffed in its plans to build a merchant power plant in New Smyrna Beach, but that hasn't stopped Calpine Corp. and others from planning such generators in Florida. The utilities don't want to see that happen.Florida's investor-owned utilities say merchant plants aren't necessary, the Herald said. FPL, for one, says the combination of existing plants and new construction will serve the needs of its customers for years to come."There is no need for hasty changes," FPL President Paul Evanson said last month. "Indeed, if you were to change nothing about the way the system presently operates today, the system would continue to work well and Floridians would continue to benefit from abundant, low-cost, reliable electric power."
