CLARK <br />ANDREW GILES FAY <br />NOTICE OF PROPOSED AGENCY ACTION ORDER <br />APPROVING DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA, LLC'S <br />STANDARD OFFER CONTRACT AND RELATED TARIFFS <br />BY THE COMMISSION: <br />NOTICE is hereby given by the Florida Public Service Commission (Commission) that <br />the action discussed herein is preliminary in nature and will become final unless a person whose <br />interests are substantially affected files a petition for a formal proceeding, pursuant to Rule 25- <br />22.029, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). <br />Case Background <br />Section 366.91(3), Florida Statutes (F.S.), requires that each investor-owned utility (IOU) <br />continuously offer to purchase capacity and energy from renewable energy generators and small <br />qualifying facilities. Pursuant to Rules 25-17.200 through 25-17.310, Florida Administrative <br />Code (F.A.C.), by April 1 of each year, each IOU must file a standard offer contract based on the <br />next avoidable fossil fueled generating unit of each technology type identified in the Utility's <br />current Ten -Year Site Plan. On March 29, 2018, Duke Energy Florida, LLC (DEF) filed a <br />petition for approval of its amended standard offer contract and rate schedule COG -2 based on <br />its 2018 Ten -Year Site Plan. <br />DEF uses a value that is filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) <br />every year on May 1 as a component of the delivery voltage adjustment factors found on Sheet <br />9.458 of its standard offer contract. While this value has historically been available for DEF's <br />standard offer contract filing, this year the value was calculated after the April 1 filing deadline. <br />J3 1 <br />
