CLARK ORDER APPROVING FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY'S REVISED TARIFF SHEET NO. 6.300 BY THE COMMISSION: On June 23, 2017, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL or company) filed a Petition For Determination Under Rule 25-6.115(12) and Approval of Associated Revised Tariff Sheet 6.300. In its petition, FPL has requested that the costs identified in Rule 25-6.115(8)(b), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), be excluded from the calculation of an applicant's underground conversion contribution -in -aid -of -construction (CIAC) in certain circumstances and that those costs be included in net plant in service. FPL has also requested approval of the associated revised tariff Sheet No. 6.300, attached to this Order as Attachment A. At the August 3, 2017 Agenda Conference, we suspended FPL's proposed revisions to tariff Sheet No. 6.300 to allow our staff time to gather additional data.t On August 4, 2017 and on September 6, 2017, FPL responded to Commission staff's first and second data requests. We have jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Sections 366.03, 366.04, 366.05, and 366.06, Florida Statutes (F.S.). BACKGROUND Current CIAC Calculation Rule 25-6.115, F.A.C., and FPL's tariff Sheet No. 6.300 provide the terms under which applicants are to pay CIAC for the conversion of existing overhead distribution facilities to underground. The CIAC is intended to cover the incremental costs FPL incurs resulting from a conversion, over and above the cost of serving the conversion area with overhead facilities. Overhead service is paid by all customers through base rates. In lieu of overhead service, customers have the option of requesting to convert existing overhead to underground facilities. Typically, municipalities request a conversion from overhead to underground facilities.
