LARGO â In the not-so-distant future, Pinellas County commissioners will have decisions to make that could greatly affect the solid waste department and budget.
Currently, Pinellas receives about $86 million annually from an agreement with Duke Energy for the power generated by the waste-to-energy facility. That agreement expires in December of 2024.
Staff has been negotiating with the power company for years now, but has yet to come up with anything that comes close to the current 30-year agreement that has proven favorable to the county.
Solid Waste Director Paul Sacco delivered the news to the commissioners during an April 22 work session. Currently, Duke pays the county $9.17 million a year for the power it generates plus another $77.4 million for its annual capacity payment. The total is about 57% of Solid Wasteâs budget.

Poor funding is the major reason Nigeria failed to meet the pledge it made in 2012 to achieve a modern contraceptive prevalence rate (MCPR) of 27 per cent among women by 202O, health experts have said.
The family planning (FP) 2020 goal was to enable 120 million additional women and girls of reproductive age, globally, to have access to contraceptives by the year 2020.
At the dawn of the deadline, the FP 2020 target indicators show that Nigeria has only 12 per cent MCPR for women in the country.
FP advocates say the government continuously failed to meet its counterpart funding commitment for the goal thereby hindering progress.
