NEWS IN BRIEF...
PROJECT SHARE HAS HELPED MORE THAN 3,530
FAMILIES... The co-op’s Project Share program continues to
receive considerable support, thanks to the generosity of Clay
Electric members. Since the program’s inception in July 1997,
Project Share has helped 3,530 members (through first quarter
2015) with a total of $520,686 in disbursements. Just this year,
the program has assisted 33 member families. Project Share
has enabled members to help other members pay their electric bills during a period of financial difficulty. Clay Electric
collects the Project Share donations made by members and the
Salvation Army distributes the funds based on their financial
criteria. By designating a tax-deductible amount to be added
to the electric bill each month — or by sending a one-time donation — members can help others keep their lights on when
times are tough. To sign up for Project Share, please call your
district office at the number listed on your bill statement, or
you can find out more about the program at www.clayelectric.

The General Manager’s Report
Ricky Davis
Seminole CEO explains how EPA plan
will negatively impact electric co-ops
A
s many of you know,
we spend a considerable
amount of time on your behalf
meeting with legislators and
regulators to discuss issues
that could impact your cost of
power.
As I’ve said before, what happens in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C. can have a major
influence on how much you pay
for electricity.
Electric utilities across the nation are very concerned about a
proposal by the EPA in Washington, D.C. called the Clean
Power Plan. This plan is aimed
at reducing greenhouse gas
emissions from existing fossilfueled power plants, including coal- and natural gas-fired
facilities.
Specifically, the EPA proposed to reduce power sector
carbon emissions 30 percent
below 2005 levels by 2030.
However, for Florida, the EPA is
proposing that the state reduce
its carbon emissions by 38 percent, which is greater than the
national goal.
Based on the EPA’s methodology for carbon reduction,
Florida will have to close more
than 90 percent of its coal-fired
power generation by 2020 to
meet the EPA’s goal.
Our wholesale power provider, Seminole Electric Cooperative, is very concerned about the
EPA plan, since approximately
50 percent of its power is generated using coal.
Seminole’s CEO Lisa Johnson had an opportunity to
speak to members of the House
Subcommittee on Energy and
MAY 2015
Power last month regarding her
concerns about the Clean Power
Plan. It’s very clear, according to Johnson, that the Clean
Power Plan would seriously
hinder Seminole’s ability to
meet the power demands of its
nine member systems (including Clay Electric).
I’d like to share portions of
Johnson’s testimony, because it
illustrates the serious situation
we’re facing.
“While everyone can agree on
the importance of responsible
environmental stewardship,
regulations that would eliminate whole industries, drastically raise electric rates, and call
into question the reliability of
our nation’s transmission grid
are excessive and unnecessary,”
Johnson said.
Johnson explained to the
subcommittee that Seminole’s
decision to build two coal-fired
generating units in the early
1980s was due to a demand by
Congress to restrict new power
plants from using oil or natural
gas for power generation. Congress enacted the Powerplant
and Industrial Fuel Use Act in
1978, which encouraged the use
of coal. Seminole’s coal-fired facilities came online in 1984. The
Act was not repealed until 1987.
“Seminole built coal because it
did not have another economic
option,” Johnson said. “As such,
Seminole and its not-for-profit
member electric cooperatives
should not be penalized.”
Johnson explained that
Seminole has spent more than
$530 million in environmental
control technology and recycling practices. As a result,
Seminole’s coal-fired generating facility is one of the cleanest
power plants in the country.
“The EPA should consider
these expensive and extensive
environmental controls installed
in order to comply with other
regulations implemented by
the EPA,” Johnson said. “Otherwise, should the EPA’s rule
be finalized, these costly investments will become stranded
assets. Additionally, Seminole
would have to build or purchase new power generation to
replace the electricity produced
from its coal-fired facilities.
Such a drastic and sudden shift
in Seminole’s power portfolio
will not only drive up the cost
of electricity for our membersystems and the many thousands of consumers they serve,
but it could have sweeping
unintended consequences to a
fragile, but recovering workforce and economy in Florida.”
Rep. Ed Whitfield of Kentucky is sponsoring the Ratepayer Protection Act, which
would delay the Clean Power
Plan to ensure that it survives
legal challenge before taking effect, and provide states
like Florida with an important
safety valve for consumers and
for the reliability of the grid.
Johnson urged support for
the Ratepayer Protection Act,
and co-op leaders around the
country are asking members of
Congress to support it as well.

Shining a light on solar energy
From Seminole Electric Cooperative
s renewable energy technology continues
to develop, electric utilities, including Clay
Electric, are keeping a close eye on the most innovative methods to create energy from captured
sunlight. Members’ curiosity with solar energy
has piqued in part due to environmental awareness and a desire for sound stewardship.
Proposed regulations that could require increased energy production from renewable
sources make this an emerging issue for electric
cooperatives, which are exploring opportunities
to invest in robust renewable energy portfolios.
A few solar options:
• Resident/Business-owned
solar - Installed and owned
solely by the residential
member or business owner,
this system is often smaller in
scale. The resident or business owner bears responsibility and liability for the system
and usually must pay the
upfront capital costs, which
can be significant.
• Cooperative-owned solar
– This type of system is a larger-scale solar installation, built on a central property or public area.
The system is owned by the electric cooperative,
which sells entitlements to members who want to
receive electricity from the panels. Cooperativeowned solar projects are optimal for consumers
who want solar power but do not have a suitable
installation site, who live in a multi-family dwelling, or who do not have the finances to fund the
upfront capital costs.
The cost of solar
Solar pricing has become more competitive
in recent years. Production costs are decreasing,
and materials and technology are becoming more
readily available. The cost to install solar varies
widely based on a variety of factors, including
your energy consumption, budget, and required
size, space, and condition of your roof (if installing a rooftop mount).
What are the challenges?
Renewable resources have many positives, but
there is one major limitation: They are not reliable
to meet members’ demand for energy 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year. Solar power is considered
an intermittent source of energy that needs to be
backed up by a traditional source. The sun does

not always shine, cloudy days are unpredictable, nighttime is inevitable, and current battery
technology to store solar power is prohibitively
expensive for most. Traditional, reliable generation such as coal, natural gas, and nuclear power
provides that steady energy to meet the neverceasing demand of our members.
What is your cooperative doing?
A recent survey of cooperative members that
was conducted on behalf of Seminole Electric,
found a readiness to dip into solar energy. Yet
fewer members were ready to pay an additional
premium for the renewable resource. So Seminole,
in cooperation with Clay
Electric, is pursuing ways
to bring members the
solar energy they indicate
they want at a price they
can afford.
Seminole has issued a
Request for Proposals for
two different ideas.
1. Engineering, procurement and construction
of a 2-megawatt (MW)
utility-scale solar energy system that Seminole
would own and operate, to be located on Seminole’s property adjacent to its natural gas plant; or
2. An agreement to purchase the power from a
2-MW solar facility owned by a third-party solar
provider.
Development is in the early stages. Member
cooperatives, including Clay Electric, are looking
at ways to configure programs and rate structures
to make this option work for consumers who wish
to take advantage of solar opportunities.
Seminole serves 1.4 million people and businesses through nine member distribution cooperatives.
The conclusion -- so far
Given the benefits and challenges associated
with solar energy, Clay Electric and Seminole continue to stay up-to-date on current and emerging
solar energy technologies.
One of Clay Electric’s goals is to provide reliable and affordable electricity to members. In
order to continue meeting this goal, Clay Electric
and Seminole will work together to make smart
economic decisions to keep your electricity affordable, safe and reliable.
