Power Plants Returning to Natural Gas as Prices Fall: Outlook
By Bradley Keoun
quote.bloomberg.com

Palatka, Florida, June 2 (Bloomberg) -- Natural gas is burning again at Florida
Power & Light Co.'s Putnam power plant in Palatka.

Last winter, Florida's largest utility reconfigured the plant to run on fuel oil instead
of natural gas, a cleaner-burning fuel that for years had been comparatively
cheap. Last month, as gas prices plunged to a 10-month low, the plant switched
back to gas.

Fears of winter shortages drove natural gas futures on the New York Mercantile
Exchange to a record $10.10 per million British thermal units in late December,
more than quadruple the year-earlier price. This year, prices have fallen below $4,
partly because last year's rally caused so many generators and industrial
customers to seek alternate fuels, such as oil.
