PSC -2018 -0049 -TRF -EI <br />& Light Company. ISSUED: January 22, 2018 <br />The following Commissioners participated in the disposition of this matter: <br />JULIE I. BROWN, Chairman <br />ART GRAHAM <br />DONALD J. POLMANN <br />GARY F. CLARK <br />ORDER APPROVING FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY'S <br />CURTAILABLE SERVICE TARIFF MODIFICATIONS <br />BY THE COMMISSION: <br />BACKGROUND <br />On October 4, 2017, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL or company) filed a Petition <br />for Approval of Curtailable Service Tariff Modifications. The company is seeking to institute a <br />30 -day notice for customers enrolled in its Curtailable Service (CS) tariffs, including CS Time of <br />Use, to transfer to the Commercial/Industrial Demand Reduction Rider (CDR) tariff. The CS <br />and CDR are optional tariffs for Commercial/Industrial (C/I) customers who are willing to curtail <br />a portion of their demand in exchange for a monthly credit. In addition, FPL proposes to close <br />the CS tariffs to new customers due to a lack of interest. <br />On October 13, 2017, FPL waived the 60 -day suspension deadline through March 1, <br />2018. Commission staff issued a data request to FPL on November 13, 2017, and the company <br />responded on November 27, 2017. On November 27, 2017, FPL filed a notice of correction to <br />its petition, correcting a scrivener's error. A second data request was filed by Commission staff <br />on December 4, 2017, for which responses were received on December 11, 2017. Attachment A <br />provides the CS tariff pages indicating the proposed changes. We have jurisdiction over this <br />matter pursuant to Sections 288.035 and 366.06, Florida Statutes. <br />DECISION <br />The CS and CDR Tariffs <br />The CS tariffs are available to C/I customers with a monthly demand of 500 kilowatts <br />(kW) or greater. Customers who choose to take service under CS agree to curtail at least 200 kW <br />of their load when requested by the company. For their compliance, the customer receives a <br />credit of $1.93 per kW of curtailable load. Customers are required to provide three years' notice <br />to discontinue service under the CS tariffs. <br />The CDR is available to CA customers who have at least 200 kW of non-firm demand, <br />above their firm demand level, available for the utility to control. This demand must be <br />demonstrated for at least three out of seven months of the summer Controllable Rating Period <br />A <br />
