Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 1

Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From 1996 2

– 2011 (except during a sabbatical and other time away) I 3

served as the Director of UWF’s Haas Center for Business 4

Research and Economic Development, conducting numerous 5

studies of the local, regional, and state economies and 6

economic sectors. I then served as Executive Director of the 7

UWF Office of Economic Development and Engagement, overseeing 8

9T9TPURPOSE OF TESTIMONY 3

Q. What are the purposes of your prepared direct testimony in 4

this proceeding? 5

6

A. My prepared direct testimony will comment on past and future 7

growth trends in Florida, with emphasis on geographic areas 8

that are experiencing strong growth in economic and natural 9

gas demand as described in the direct testimonies of Peoples 10

Gas System’s (“Peoples” or the “Company”) witnesses Timothy 11

O’Connor and Richard F. Wall. I have also been asked to 12

comment on the benefit of natural gas use to the State of 13

Florida and its citizens from an economic perspective. These 14

benefits include the value for residential, commercial and 15

industrial customers through economical energy prices that 16

allow and promote additional job creation. They also include 17

environmental benefits relative to traditional energy 18

sources, such as coal and oil. 19

20

Q. Did you prepare an Exhibit in support of your prepared direct 21

testimony? 22

23

A. Yes. Exhibit No. (RKH-1) was prepared under my direction and 24

supervision. My Exhibit consists of 15 Documents entitled: 25

9T9TFLORIDA’S POPULATION GROWTH AND ECONOMIC GROWTH OVER TIME 3

Q. What are the Florida growth trends that are relevant to 4

natural gas service expansion and reliability projects? 5

6

A. Florida has historically seen population and economic growth 7

rates much greater than those for the nation overall. 8

Demographers note that Florida’s population growth rates have 9

ranked among the top seven states in each decade since 1920, 10

and in most decades ranked in the top four.P0FP 0F

iPP Florida’s current 11

population is approximately 21.5 million and is expected to 12

swell to 24.4 million permanent residents by 2030, an increase 13

over the next decade of almost 2.7 million people. 14

15

The migration of people, from sources both domestic and 16

international, into Florida has had profound effects on the 17

state’s population and on Florida’s economy. Today, as a 18

result of the 2010 Census, New York and Florida each have 27 19

representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives, a share 20

that is proportional to their populations. Population 21

forecasts suggest that Florida will gain two additional seats 22

as a result of the 2020 Census, taking it to 29, and that New 23

York will lose one, taking it down to 26. This is the 24

continuation of the long-term trend as Americans migrate from 25

Page 8: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

6

the Northeast and Midwest to the South. As late as 1953, the 1

Florida delegation to the 435-person U.S. House of 2

Representatives was 6 representatives, while the state of New 3

York sent 45. 4

5

Forecasts for the coming years suggest that the U.S. will 6

grow by a total of 19.3 percent between 2020 and 2050.P1FP1F

ii PP 7

During that same period, Florida is expected to grow by 37.6 8

percent, almost double the country’s overall percentage 9

increase, or by a total of almost 8.2 million new residents. 10

If Florida were instead to grow over that period at the 11

projected nationwide growth rate, the 8.2 million expected 12

new residents would be reduced by 3.98 million. These large 13

projected population changes will increase the number of 14

households seeking natural gas service. Meeting the needs of 15

these new households via natural gas affords additional 16

opportunities for reduced emissions per Florida household. 17

18

Q. Haven’t Florida growth rates been declining in recent 19

decades? 20

21

A. Yes. Population growth for Florida over the four past 22

decades, and expected growth over the coming four decades can 23

be seen in, Document No. 1 of my Exhibit. While growth in 24

the most recent decade, at 2.7 million people, is not as large 25

Page 9: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

7

as the 3.2-million-person growth attained over the 1980 – 1

1990 period, it exceeds the growth of all states except Texas. 2

Further, strong growth in the number of domestic and 3

international tourists to the state has created additional 4

demand for lodging, restaurants, retail establishments, and 5

other tourism amenities that can be met efficiently via 6

natural gas. 7

8

Q. Does economic activity growth at local, state and national 9

level mirror the respective population growth trends? 10

11

A. Economic growth trends closely resemble those of the 12

population growth trends. The Florida economy in recent 13

decades continues to grow at a substantially faster rate than 14

the national economy. This is true even when considering the 15

larger than national average impact to Florida of the Great 16

Recession of 2007 to 2009. Using January 2000 employment as 17

a base, the cumulative growth in nonfarm employment in 18

Florida, at 31 percent, is almost twice as large as employment 19

growth in the nation as a whole over the last twenty years. 20

This is shown in Document No. 2 of my Exhibit. 21

22

Florida’s faster growth is also reflected in higher 23

inflation-adjusted GDP growth. Over the most recent two 24

decades for which data is available, Florida’s GDP growth was 25

Page 10: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

8

0.4 percent higher than that of the nation. But for the 1

effects of the Great Recession, that growth differential 2

would have been even greater. Florida suffered particularly 3

during that housing-driven recession because Florida’s 4

construction sector is about 25 percent larger than the 5

national average in order to accommodate the aforementioned 6

population growth rate that is higher than the national rate. 7

This can be seen in Document No. 3 of Exhibit No. (RKH-1). 8

9

Q. Is the damage inflicted on growth and the housing market by 10

the Great Recession now over? 11

12

A. Yes. Housing prices have substantially recovered in Florida 13

and returned to the long-run housing price trends, and now 14

slightly exceed the peak reached during the “housing bubble” 15

before the Great Recession. Current supply side constraints 16

in housing, including availability of labor as well as 17

increased building commodity prices have been primary drivers 18

of price increase, unlike the demand-side bubble that 19

characterized the 2003 – 2006 period in the Florida market. 20

This can be seen in Document No. 4 of my Exhibit. 21

22

Q. Can Florida expect to continue to have a positive growth 23

differential when compared to the nation? 24

25

Page 11: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

9

A. Yes. Forward-looking projections suggest that the Florida 1

growth differential will continue to exceed that of the 2

nation. As noted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia 3

which constructs this forward-looking projection for each 4

state: “The leading index for each state predicts the six-5

month growth rate of the state's coincident index. In addition 6

to the coincident index, the models include other variables 7

that lead the economy: state-level housing permits (1 to 4 8

units), state initial unemployment insurance claims, delivery 9

times from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) 10

manufacturing survey, and the interest rate spread between 11

the 10-year Treasury bond and the 3-month Treasury bill.”P2FP2F

iiiPP 12

13

The index reflects the best estimate of what the growth rate 14

in GDP will be six months from the date of the leading index. 15

The index contains 456 monthly observations going back to 16

January 1982. If we split the data series exactly in half 17

(1982 through 2000, 2001 through 2019), the positive 18

differential is larger in the more recent period. Florida’s 19

projected six-month ahead growth rate was 0.55 percent (i.e., 20

55 basis points) higher than the U.S. six-month ahead growth 21

rate during the most recent two decades relative to the prior 22

two decades. Florida’s attractiveness to businesses and 23

residents has been growing rather than shrinking over time. 24

The difference in the index of leading indicators for Florida 25

Page 12: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

10

relative to the nation can be seen in Document No. 5 of my 1

Exhibit. 2

3

Q. Will the trend of higher growth in Florida than in the nation 4

overall continue over the longer term or does it just reflect 5

the recovery from the Great Recession that hit Florida harder 6

than the rest of the nation? 7

8

A. Yes, they will continue. Population growth rates reflect 9

ongoing demographic trends, with the peak birth years from 10

the “Baby Boom” (1946 – 1964 birth years) giving way to 11

subsequent lower birth rates. Generation X (1965 – 1979) was 12

followed by the millennials (1980 – 1994) who have become the 13

largest population group in the nation as the baby-boomer 14

generation ages. This can be seen in Document No. 6 of my 15

Exhibit. However, Florida still expects 8.2 million new 16

residents between 2020 and 2050. Slower national growth rates 17

notwithstanding, since the time of the Great Recession, 18

Florida population growth has substantially exceeded the 19

national population growth rate, with Florida growing twice 20

as fast - a cumulative 16 percent versus eight percent for 21

the nation over the 2008 – 2019 period. This can be seen in 22

Document No. 7 No. of my Exhibit. 23

24

Q. Why will Florida continue to be a top destination for people 25

Page 13: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

11

moving from other states? 1

2

A. Florida’s high population growth trends appear to likely 3

continue into the future. Some of the primary drivers of 4

relocation decisions by those who come from other state into 5

Florida are longstanding, and include job opportunities, 6

desire for a warmer climate and outdoor activities, and, an 7

affordable lifestyle. Since the passage and implementation of 8

the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, there is also a change in the 9

relative cost of living driven by lessened deductibility of 10

state and local taxes under the federal income tax code. 11

Because of Florida’s lack of a state income tax and its 12

relatively modest property tax burden, along with its 13

comparatively modest level of unfunded state pension 14

liabilities, Florida’s attraction for inbound migration from 15

other states continues to increase. Population growth will 16

continue. 17

18

Even though national population growth rates are falling due 19

to the demographics of the post-war generations, the 20

cumulative growth in the number of residents of Florida means 21

that a somewhat slower rate of growth will still attract close 22

to the same number of households as occurred during previous 23

decades. 24

25

Page 14: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

12

Q. Will the Coronavirus have any significant negative long-term 1

effects on the growth trends you have just described? 2

3

A. I do not believe so. Obviously, the Coronavirus has 4

negatively affected economic growth in Florida and throughout 5

the country in a way that we have never seen before, so it is 6

with some caution that I try to predict how it will all end. 7

However, I believe that once progress is made on the medical 8

front and the economy as a whole begins to improve, the same 9

factors that were causing population and economic growth in 10

Florida will still be present. The cost of housing should 11

still remain affordable when compared to the rest of the 12

nation. The state will still be attractive to persons 13

migrating from other states and the underpinnings of the past 14

economic growth will still be in place to allow the state’s 15

growth to continue as the medical situation regarding the 16

virus improves. 17

18

Q. Are there other likely effects of the Coronavirus on natural 19

gas markets in Florida? 20

21

A. Yes, I believe there will be other effects. It seems likely 22

that the pandemic will have lasting effects on consumer desire 23

to leave crowded urban environments for a more suburban 24

setting, which is the typical development pattern in Florida. 25

Page 15: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

13

I expect that this demographic trend towards lower density 1

environments as is typical across Florida, will continue to 2

attract new residents to the state. 3

4

Further, an effect of the pandemic has been to increase at-5

home activities, including dining, shopping, and 6

entertainment, relative to historical patterns. While a large 7

part of this is transitory, experts suggest that at least 8

some of this change in historical patterns is likely to be 9

permanent and would therefore naturally increase consumer 10

demand for natural gas and support increased availability of 11

natural gas distribution systems. 12

13

9T9TBENEFITS TO FLORIDA OF GROWTH IN UTILIZATION OF NATURAL GAS 14

Q. What are the benefits to further growth in the use of natural 15

gas in Florida? 16

17

A. The benefits of natural gas relative to other energy sources 18

are well-understood. Among the most important is the multi-19

year and ongoing trend for affordability relative to 20

alternate fuel sources.P3FP3F

ivPP Another is the decrease in 21

greenhouse gas emissions relative to fossil-fuel resources, 22

and the concomitant decrease in noxious pollutant emissions.P4FP4F

vPP 23

These have led to quantifiable decreases in morbidity and 24

mortality and associated increases in economic output across 25

Page 16: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

14

the nation.P5FP5F

viPP 1

2

Natural gas supplies about one-fourth of all energy used in 3

the U.S., up substantially from earlier levels, particularly 4

since 2008. In Florida, the switch to natural gas has been 5

more rapid than in most states and our state has already 6

benefitted substantially from increased use of natural gas to 7

meet energy needs in the home, in businesses, and in 8

electricity generation. Across key industries, from 9

electricity generation to construction, health care, food 10

service, transportation, HVAC, and other applications, 11

natural gas has provided reliable, inexpensive, and 12

environmentally friendly energy to power Florida’s economic 13

growth. 14

15

The intensity of natural gas use has grown over time in 16

Florida. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) 17

reported in September 2019 that Florida accounted for 24 18

percent of the nation’s new utility-scale natural gas-fired 19

electric generation capacity between 2008 and 2018.P6FP6F

viiPP Over 20

that same period, Florida’s share of the national population 21

grew from 6.1 percent to 6.5 percent. The 2.7 million person 22

population increase in Florida over that period was 12.8 23

percent as large as the amount of growth in the other 49 24

states combined.P7FP7F

viiiPP So while Florida’s strong population 25

Page 17: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

15

growth explains some of the higher switching rate, it does 1

not explain all of it. That rapid increase in capacity meant 2

that over the 2008 – 2018 period, Florida’s generation fleet 3

went from 47 percent natural gas-fired to 72 percent natural 4

gas-fueled, while coal’s share of electric generation 5

capacity decreased from 30 percent to 13 percent. 6

7

According to the most recent data from the EIA, in Florida, 8

about 85.6 percent of natural gas use (measured by BTU) in 9

2018 was in electricity generation, with 7.5 percent 10

industrial use, 4.5 percent in the commercial sector, about 11

1.3 percent in transportation, and 1.1 percent in the 12

residential sector. This share of usage in electricity 13

generation is higher than for any other state in the nation. 14

It is indicative of Florida’s warm climate, its large share 15

of leisure and hospitality businesses, retail establishments, 16

and service sector activity, and low share of industrial 17

activity. It is also indicative of the transition that Florida 18

has made over time away from traditional fossil fuels of coal 19

and oil into cleaner burning natural gas. 20

21

Q. Will the growth of renewable energy resources impact growth 22

trends for natural gas usage in Florida? 23

24

A. No. Currently, natural gas is economic even as renewables 25

Page 18: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

16

increase, natural gas will play a significant role in energy 1

solutions to customers. Renewables have not solved the 2

problems of morning and evening demand peaks in the daily 3

load (the “duck curve”), and mandated use of renewables would 4

drive energy prices to levels likely to be unacceptable to 5

Florida consumers and voters. Even in the future, the 6

affordable cost and rapid dispatch capabilities of natural 7

gas mean it will be an essential part of any set of 8

sustainable energy policies. 9

10

9T9TECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC FORECASTS FOR PROJECT LOCATIONS 11

Q. Have you prepared specific demographic and economic forecasts 12

for the geographic locations associated with the new projects 13

that Peoples is presenting in this matter? 14

15

A. Yes, economic and demographic descriptors for each of the 16

counties that are recipients of these specific investments 17

can be seen in the county-specific chart packages in Document 18

Nos. 8 through 15 of my Exhibit. 19

20

Q. What are your conclusions in respect to these areas? 21

22

A. In each of the areas proposed for expansion, population growth 23

is expected to exceed the national average rate of growth. 24

This means that there will be an increase in demand for 25

Page 19: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

17

natural gas. Florida’s long-held advantage over other states 1

in providing an environment where people want to live will 2

continue, and new residents will vote with their feet in 3

moving here. If anything, this advantage is increasing over 4

time in terms of economics as the tax penalty to households 5

of staying up North was increased by the 2017 changes to the 6

federal tax code. 7

8

The projects proposed are representative of the diversity of 9

the state insofar as they meet the needs of some of the 10

counties with fastest residential housing growth, areas with 11

the greatest planned industrial growth, and areas that will 12

be expected to accommodate a greater share of Florida’s future 13

growth. 14

15

As described further in Witness O’Connor’s testimony, Peoples 16

four growth expansion projects are in Panama City, 17

Jacksonville, Southwest Florida and Miami and are aligned 18

with the growing population trend that Florida is 19

experiencing. The Panama City expansion project is located in 20

Bay county. Population growth from 2010-2018 was 7 percent, 21

and 2018-2025 population is forecasted to grow at 5 percent. 22

Hurricane Michael in 2018 has impacted this area and these 23

growth rates. Although these growth rates lag the state 24

average, the recovery of this region is expected to include 25

Page 20: BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN RE ... · 1 Triangle Park, North Carolina, and at the University of West 2 Florida (“UWF”) from 1989 until retiring in 2017. From

18

growing natural gas demand. 1

2

In Duval County, where the Jacksonville expansion project is 3

located, population growth for 2010-2018 was nearly 10 4

percent, with nearly 6 percent growth forecasted for 2018-5

2025. In addition to overall population growth within 6

Florida’s 4PP

thPP largest city resulting in increased natural gas 7

demand, industrial growth, such as LNG development near the 8

Port of Jacksonville is a potential significant demand for 9

natural gas. 10

11

The Southwest Florida expansion project is located in Lee, 12

Collier, and Charlotte counties. These 3 counties have 13

experienced strong population growth from 2010-2018 of 22 14

percent, 18 percent, and 16 percent respectively. For 2018-15

2025, Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties have forecast 16

population growth of 14 percent, 13 percent, and 6 percent, 17

respectively. These historical and forecasted growth rates 18

are robust and indicate support for infrastructure 19

development and growing natural gas demand. 20

21

In Miami-Dade County, where the Miami LNG project is located, 22

population growth for 2010-2018 was nearly 11 percent, with 23

nearly 7 percent growth forecasted for 2018-2025. This 24

population growth within Florida’s largest city is expected 25

to result in increased natural gas demand. 1

9T9TSUMMARY 3

Q. Please summarize your prepared direct testimony. 4

5

A. The investment projects presented by Peoples in this matter 6

are supported by the increased demand that will be driven by 7

population growth and economic activity growth in the State. 8

Use of low-priced American natural gas to meet the energy 9

needs of these new households and businesses will allow 10

Florida citizens to enjoy greater purchasing power by 11

spending less of their incomes on energy. This new spending 12

will ripple far beyond the energy sector, allowing new 13

employment and income to be spread broadly across the Florida 14

economy. 15

16

Q. Does this conclude your prepared direct testimony? 17

18

A. Yes. 19
