Case Background

Sections 366.80 through 366.83, and 403.519, Florida Statutes (F.S.), known collectively as the Florida Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (FEECA), require the Florida Public Service Commission (Commission) to adopt conservation goals to increase the efficiency of energy consumption. FEECA emphasizes reducing the growth rates of weather-sensitive peak demand, reducing and controlling the growth rates of electricity consumption, reducing the consumption of expensive resources such as petroleum fuels, and encouraging demand-side renewable energy resources. The Commission most recently established conservation goals for Florida Power & Light Company (FPL or Utility) by Order No. PSC-2024-0505-FOF-EG, issued December 18, 2024, in Docket No. 20240012-EG.[1] On March 18, 2025, FPL filed a petition requesting approval of its Demand-Side Management (DSM) Plan, including the modifications of and additions to its tariff sheets related to the existing Residential On-Call program and its associated HVAC On-Bill Pilot program. FPL also filed its DSM program participation standards for approval.

This recommendation addresses the suspension of FPL’s proposed tariff sheets. The Commission has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Sections 366.06, 366.80 through 366.83, and 403.519, F.S.

Discussion of Issues

Issue 1:

 Should Florida Power & Light Company's proposed tariff sheets be suspended?

Recommendation: 

 Yes. Staff recommends that FPL’s proposed tariff sheets for its Residential On-Call and associated HVAC On-Bill Pilot programs 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. (Hampson, Thompson)

Staff Analysis: 

 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 recommends that allowing staff time to analyze the request is a good cause, consistent with the requirement of Section 366.06(3), F.S.

Issue 2:

 Should this docket be closed?

Recommendation: 

 No. This docket should remain open pending the Commission’s decision on FPL’s proposed DSM Plan and the associated program participation standards. (Imig, Sparks)

Staff Analysis: 

 This docket should remain open pending the Commission’s decision on the Utility’s proposed DSM Plan and the associated program participation standards.
