On April 1, 2016, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) filed a petition for approval of 2016 revisions to its underground residential and commercial differential tariffs and associated charges. These tariffs represent the additional costs FPL incurs to provide underground service in place of overhead service. The Commission has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Sections 366.03, 366.04, 366.05, and 366.06, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
Issue 1:
Should FPL’s proposed underground differential tariffs be suspended?
Recommendation:
Yes. Staff recommends that the tariffs be suspended to allow staff sufficient time to review the petition and gather all pertinent information in order to present the Commission with an informed recommendation on the tariff proposals. (Ollila)
Staff Analysis:
Staff recommends that the tariffs be suspended to allow staff sufficient time to review the petition and gather all pertinent information in order to present the Commission with an informed recommendation on the tariff proposals.
Pursuant to Section 366.06(3), F.S., the Commission may withhold consent to the operation of all or any portion of a new rate schedule, delivering to the utility requesting such a change a reason or written statement of good cause for doing so within 60 days. Staff believes that the reason stated above is a good cause consistent with the requirement of Section 366.06(3), F.S.
Issue 2:
Should this docket be closed?
Recommendation:
This docket should remain open pending the Commission’s decision on the proposed tariffs. (Janjic)
Staff Analysis:
This docket should remain open pending the Commission’s decision on the proposed tariffs.
