The Economy Ten Year Population Growth The Census Bureau estimated Florida's Percent Increase, 1954-1974 population of 8,090,000 at'mid-1974, an increase of 345,000 people in the preceding 12 months. The 51'/o j increase was the largest recorded by any state, both FPL SSNfce numerically and in percent. Florida's population has Territory increased by 1,301,000 since the 1970 Census, 36%

more than any other state. Recent Census Bureau studies anticipate that Florida will continue to be 94'/o Florida the nation's fastest growing state, with a population Excfuding FPL of almost 11 millio'n in 1990, about 36% higher Terrttory than 1974.

Because of Florida's unique population mix, electric customers increase at an even faster pace than numbers of people. About 15% of all Floridians are in the retirement age category, and usually represent not more than two persons per household. sowcet tL s, sweev ol the ceneve unlrereitr ol rtortte In addition, there is a rapidly growing number of second homes occupied by people who do not appear in the population count, although their presence is felt in local purchases of goods and services, and in payment of taxes. Number ol Residential Electric Customers Per Thousand of Population Florida and U.S.A.

Despite a still growing population, Florida's huge housing industry suffered during the past year as credit restraints and soaring interest rates made mortgage money both scarce and expensive.

Many retirees and others planning a move to Florida found it necessary to defer their move pending more favorable conditions. As a surplus of new housing began to accumulate, contracts let for new housing units decreased, and the 1974 total was nearly 50% below the 1973 record levels. Even U.s so, contracts numbered 132,585 new units, a greater number than was recorded in any other state.

Decreasing employment in contract construction Manufacturing Employment and satellite industries was sharply felt, because Florida and United States lndSX: 1964 eee 100 construction workers made up 10% of the State' Index non-agricultural employment, compared to about 180 5% nationally. Florida's unemployment rate, traditionally lower than the nation's, moved up to slightly exceed the national rate. Even so, there were 227,600 workers still engaged in construction at year end, or 8.2% of total employment. One Fla.

stimulus to such employment is the continuing high volume of non-residential building, exceeding even 1973's $ 1.6 billion volume.

Florida's increasingly important manufacturing industries experienced approximately level activity U.S.

110 during the year, largely because the slowdown in building-oriented industry offset increases in other sectors.

The decline was especially sharp in the early months, when gasoline was in short supply. Tourist Number of Tourists Visiting Florida expenditures increased, however, and were Millions estimated at more than $ 6 billion, up nearly 11%

over 1973. Tourist volume experienced a sharp resurgence during the holiday season late in 1974, 21.8 and reservations are reported near capacity in some areas through Easter of 1975. Characteristics of 10.1 the winter and summer visitor differ somewhat, and 173) it is too early to assess effects of economic recession on the year as a whole.

Florida's agriculture has a promising outlook in the face of other uncertainties. Good weather, large crops and high prices indicate that final results of 1974 farm marketings will be well above $ 2 billion.

Fuel FPL's fossil fuel steam plants, except an oil-burning plant at Ft. Myers and two oil-burning units at Sanford, burn both residual oil and natural gas. The gas turbines burn distillate oil and natural gas. Two nuclear units are in operation at the Turkey Point plant.

Residual oil is supplied under total requirements contracts expiring in 1977, with the oil coming primarily from Venezuela. The gas is supplied under firm contracts, the earliest of which expires in 1979. A reduction of about 7~/2% in gas deliveries was experienced in 1974 and an additional 3%

reduction is expected in 1975 due to a decline in the output from the wells. Distillate oil is supplied under shorter term contracts and open market purchases. Fuel for the Turkey Point nuclear units is provided under a 10-year energy supply agreement until 1982 and 1983. The first and second nuclear fuel cores for St. Lucie No. 1 are being purchased under a single contract covering the entire fuel cycle. A similar contract is being negotiated for St. Lucie No. 2.

During 1974, there were six increases in the price of residual oil. Oil delivered to Port Everglades was

$ 12.38 per barrel in December 1974 as compared to $ 6.98 for December 1973. In January 1975, another 300 per barrel increase became effective.

In March 1975, the price per barrel was decreased 15'.

The impact that government proposals for price equalization, energy or tax proposals, or future legislation relating to the energy crisis will have on FPL can not presently be determined.

Fuel Supply Service, Inc. entered into a joint oil and gas exploration venture in Florida with Amoco Production. The first three wells proved dry; drilling is continuing.

During 1974, 22/o of FPL generation was from nuclear fuel at an average cost of 1.74 mills per KWH. The cost of residual oil was 18.06 mills per KWH and residual oil accounted for 50/o of generation.

Revenue and Rates FPL rates except for wholesale sales, are regulated by the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC). Rates for wholesale sales are regulated by the Federal Power Commission.

In 1973, rate increases totaling $ 60.8 million became effective, in three steps.

On August 2, 1974, the Company filed a petition with the Florida Public Service Commission for a rate increase of

$ 143 million based on an estimated 1974 test year and 1974 year-end rate base, seeking to establish a rate of return of 9.12/o to 9.28 h. Approximately $ 50 million of the requested rate increase would reflect proposed accounting and regulatory changes designed to improve cash flow without increasing earnings. The principal proposed changes are (a) the inclusion of $ 200 million of additional construction work in progress in the rate base, with concomitant reduction in the Allowance for Funds Used During Construction, and (b) full normalization of book-tax timing differences. Direct testimony of FPL witnesses was held in November 1974. If the Commission has not rendered a decision by April 2, 1975, the proposed rates based on the $ 143 million will be put into effect under bond subject to refund. At the cross-examination hearings in March, 1975, FPL presented testimony based on actual data for the 1974 test year which increased the request for rate relief to $ 164.8 million to produce a rate of return of 9.32k.

In November 1974, FPL filed a motion with the Florida Public Service Commission seeking partial interim rate relief in the amount of approximately $ 69 million on an annual basis. The request was based on the 8.57/o minimum rate of return approved by the Commission in 1973 and was part of the $ 143 million request filed in August 1974.

On January 10, 1975, the Commission issued an order granting the full amount of the interim rate relief, subject to refund and under bond pending final determination of FPL's full rate request. The increase went into effect with meter readings on and after January 28, 1975. The Public Counsel of Florida has appealed the order.

All FPL rate schedules contain a fossil fuel adjustment clause which gives effect to changes in efficiency and the cost of fossil fuel as well as the generation mix of fossil and nuclear, and includes the fuel portion of purchased power.

In November 1974, the Commission issued an order Financial in the general investigation of the fossil fuel adjustment and clause. The order, among other things, required public notice and monthly hearings for changes in the level of Statistical fuel adjustment charges, and adopted a new clause, Tables substantially similar to the previous one, covering fossil fuel and purchased power.
