Florida Energy Commission (2006-2007)
In 2006, the Florida Legislature created the Florida Energy Commission (FEC) through Senate Bill 888 to make recommendations on renewable energy sources, conservation and climate change. Nine members were appointed by Florida Senate and House leaders to evaluate topics and issues and make recommendations for a well-rounded energy policy that Floridians can rely on and afford. Commission members were appointed with expertise in the areas of energy, natural resource conservation, economics, engineering, finance, law, consumer protection, and other specialty areas crucial to the FEC's mission. On December 31, 2007, the FEC submitted a report documenting its progress, including recommendations for consideration by the Florida Legislature.
The 2008 Energy and Economic Development Legislation, passed unanimously by the 2008 Florida Legislature and signed by Governor Crist, transferred the Florida Energy Commission staff and resources to the Executive Office of the Governor, within the Florida Energy & Climate Commission.
