Why not offset the demand with conservation efforts?
Energy conservation does play an important role in addressing growing demand. In fact, FPL customers have helped defer the need for 12 power plants during the past two decades and our nationally recognized energy-efficiency programs will offset about 26 percent of expected demand growth through 2015. Even so, energy conservation alone will not be enough to meet Florida’s rapidly growing energy appetite.
