ORDER NO. PSC -2018 -0316 -PAA -EQ DOCKET NO. 20180083 -EQ PAGE 5 when FPL is required to receive and pay the Committed Capacity amount. FPL further clarified that the additional Delivery Date Conditions are consistent with sound commercial practice, and will ensure that the QF will generate and deliver' to FPL electric energy safely and reliably for the term of the Standard Offer Contract. Decision Upon review, we find that the provisions of FPL's revised renewable energy tariff and standard offer contract conform to the requirements of Rules 25-17.200 through 25-17.310, F.A.C. FPL's 2018 Ten -Year Site Plan does not include any avoidable fossil fueled generating units, but has a projected planned purchase of 325 megawatt (MW) in 2019 that is FPL's next planned purchase that could be avoided or deferred. FPL has also identified its next avoidable unit as a 1,778 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle unit at a greenfield site with an expected in-service date of June 1, 2028. FPL's revised standard offer contract provides flexibility in the arrangement for payments so that a developer of renewable generation may select the payment stream best suited to its financial needs. Thus, FPL's revised renewable energy tariff and standard offer contract are approved as filed. Based on the foregoing, it is ORDERED by the Florida Public Service Commission that Florida Power & Light Company's standard offer contract and schedule QS -2 are approved. It is further ORDERED that the provisions of this Order, issued as proposed agency action, shall become final and effective upon the issuance of a Consummating Order unless an appropriate petition, in the form provided by Rule 28-106.201, Florida Administrative Code, is received by the Commission Clerk, 2540 Shumard Oak Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0850, by the close of business on the date set forth in the "Notice of Further Proceedings" attached hereto. Potential signatories should be aware that, if a timely protest is filed, Florida Power & Light Company's standard offer contract may subsequently be revised. It is further ORDERED that in the event this Order becomes final, this docket shall be closed.
