FPL. Florida Power & Light Commercial / Industrial Load Control Commercial / Industrial Demand Reduction Curtailable Service 2014 EPA Change in Regulations Rate Termination Opportunity and Request Form Summary Recent federal regulations require owners of generators to comply with new emission standards adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The standards are known as (EPA) 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart 7777 and 40 CFR part 60, subparts 1111 and JJJJ. These new rules impact reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) of all sizes, including generators participating in utility -sponsored demand side management programs. It is the responsibility of generator owners to review EPA's RICE rules and ensure that their generators comply with these new rules. If you use a generator to participate in FPL's voluntary Commercial/Industrial Load Control (CILC), Commercial Demand Reduction (CDR) or Curtailable Service (CS) rates, you may be affected by these new rules. We encourage customers to carefully evaluate their specific circumstances with respect to the new EPA regulations. Many customers are likely to find that continuing participation in the CILC/CDR/CS rate will be cost-effective taking into account the significant annual savings that these rates offer along with the costs of complying with the new EPA regulations. But, for some customers, the costs of complying with the new rules may not make continued participation cost-effective. The rates typically require termination notice of five years for CILC or CDR and three years for CS. In Tight of the significant compliance challenges the new rules may present to some customers, FPL is providing customers an opportunity to exit the rate due to the impact of the new EPA rules. 1
