EPA Announces Proposed Rule Action to Revise ELG's and Support Reliable, Affordable Coal-fired Power Plants

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 Tampa Electric's Solar PV Project

LCG, December 16, 2009--Tampa Electric yesterday announced that the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) approved its 25-year, power purchase agreement (PPA) with Energy 5.0 for the Florida Solar I project. The power generated from the proposed 25-MW, solar photovoltaic (PV) facility is scheduled to commence delivering power to the grid in 2011.

The project will be constructed by Energy 5.0 at a 350-acre site in Polk County and incorporate roughly 100,000 silicon-based, PV panels that transform the sun's energy into power.

In March 2009, Tampa Electric requested approval of the PPA from the FPSC. Project benefits identified include: supporting clean, renewable energy produced in Florida; reduced risks given the PPA's energy-only, fixed pricing, and new investment and job creation in Florida.
