On May 7, 2008, Tampa Electric Company (TECO) filed a petition for approval of its standard interconnection agreement for non-export, parallel operators and associated tariff sheets 8.1110-8.1130. The non-export agreement, if approved, would be applied to customers that install and operate electric generators of 10 megavolt-amperes (MVA) or less that may operate in parallel with TECO's distribution system (13.2 kV and less), that are used solely to offset all or a portion of the customer’s electricity requirements or as back-up generation in the event an electrical service outage, and that are in compliance with national safety standards, the National Electrical Code, state and local building codes, mechanical codes, and electric codes.
The Commission has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Sections 366.04, 366.05, 366.81, 366.82, 366.91, and 366.92, Florida Statutes.
Issue 1:
Should the Commission suspend the standard interconnection agreement for non-export, parallel operators and associated tariffs filed by Tampa Electric Company?
Recommendation:
Yes. (Harlow, Draper)
Staff Analysis:
Pursuant to Section 366.06(3), Florida Statutes, the Commission may withhold consent to the operation of all or any portion of a new rate schedule, delivering to the utility making the request a reason or written statement of good cause for doing so within 60 days. Staff recommends that the tariff be suspended. Suspending the tariff will allow staff adequate time to review the standard interconnection agreement and associated tariff so that staff can bring back a fully informed recommendation for the Commission’s review.
Issue 2:
Should this docket be closed?
Recommendation:
No. (Brown, Sayler)
Staff Analysis:
If the Commission approves Issue 1, the docket should remain open to allow staff adequate time to review the filing and bring a recommendation back to the Commission on the merits of the filing.
