CLARK ORDER APPROVING VOLUNTARY SOLAR PARTNERSHIP EXTENSION BY THE COMMISSION: Background On October 2, 2017, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) filed a petition for a one- year extension of its Voluntary Solar Partnership (VSP) program and associated tariff. The VSP program was first approved in Order No. PSC -14 -0468 -TRF -EI as a pilot program to terminate on December 31, 2017.' The VSP program offers all FPL customers an opportunity, for $9 per month, to participate voluntarily in a program designed to contribute to the construction and operation of solar photovoltaic generation facilities located in communities throughout FPL's service territory. Customers may enroll or cancel their enrollment at any time. FPL's proposed tariff revision, as shown in Attachment A to this order changes the termination date for service under the VSP program from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. We have aproved similar community solar tariffs for Gulf Power Company and Duke Energy Florida, LLC. FPL waived the 60 -day file and suspend provision of Section 366.06(3), Florida Statutes, (F.S.).
