A proposal by the Florida Public Service Commission would require utilities to wheel cogenerated power to the utilities, thus allowing cogenerators to sell their power to the utility offering the most favorable buyback rates. Battle lines are forming on whether users will be allowed to cogenerate at one plant and shift the excess power to another site they own. The rules would not force utilities to move power between a user's sites unless the cogenerator could prove that self-service wheeling would have no adverse effects on other utility customers. The rules also prohibit the sale of cogenerated power to anyone other than a utility, but this would outlaw third-party financing and deter the development of cogeneration. State utilities differ on their issue of mandatory wheeling, but are unanimous in opposing self-service wheeling.
