ORDER NO. PSC -2018 -0049 -TRF -EI DOCKET NO. 20170216 -EI PAGE 2 (April 1 through October 31). Customers who take service under the CDR agree to have load control equipment installed at their site. A credit of $8.20 is given for each kW of utility - controlled demand. The CDR provides higher credits than the CS tariffs since the customer cedes control of a portion of their demand to FPL. Both tariffs appear to be cost-effective according to our standards. FPL's Proposal FPL is seeking to institute a 30 -day notice for existing customers to transfer from the CS tariffs directly to the CDR. FPL's tariffs do not offer a direct transfer between non-firm service options at this time. Customers currently must terminate service from the CS tariffs with three years' notice in order to then join the CDR. Currently, the company provides service to 31 customers under CS tariffs. According to FPL, 16 of those customers have the required demand to qualify for the CDR. Out of those 16, seven customers have expressed interest in a direct transfer from the CS tariffs to the CDR. The credits provided to customers under both tariffs are recovered by the company as Demand -Side Management programs through the Energy Conservation Cost Recovery Clause (ECCR). In the company's petition, FPL states that the ECCR impact of all 16 eligible customers transferring to the CDR would be 0.0008 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) or less than $0.01 per 1,000 kWh. These 16 potential transferees would join 526 customers who presently take service under the CDR. FPL also seeks to close the CS tariffs to new customers. According to FPL, no new customers have opted to take service under the CS tariffs since 2010. It should be noted that this petition will allow CS customers to transfer to any non-firm service option, but the CDR is the only current alternative. FPL will also update Tariff Sheet Nos. 8.542 and 8.545 to correct outdated cross-references. Upon review of the pleadings and data discussed above, we find that the proposed change is an efficient transfer between Commission -approved, cost-effective programs. FPL's customers will benefit from higher credits while the company and ratepayers will benefit from improved load control. We further find that the closure of the CS tariffs is reasonable given the lack of new participants since 2010. Based on the foregoing, it is ORDERED by the Florida Public Service Commission that Florida Power & Light Company's Petition for Approval of Curtailable Service Tariff Modifications, as stated in Attachment A, is hereby granted. It is further ORDERED that if a protest is filed within 21 days of the issuance of this order, the tariff modifications contained in Attachment A shall not go into effect pending resolution of the protest. If no timely protest is filed, this docket shall be closed and the modifications contained in Attachment A shall become effective upon the issuance of a consummating order. � Ac
