BROWN <br />DONALD J. POLMANN <br />GARY F. CLARK <br />ANDREW GILES FAY <br />ORDER APPROVING VOLUNTARY SOLAR PARTNERSHIP EXTENSION <br />BY THE COMMISSION: <br />Background <br />On August 31, 2018, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) filed a petition for a one- <br />year extension of its Voluntary Solar Partnership (VSP) program and associated tariff. The VSP <br />program was first approved in Order No. PSC -14 -0468 -TRF -EI (initial VSP order) as a pilot <br />program that would terminate on December 31, 2017.1 Due to the time needed for FPL to <br />complete billing system modifications, the billing of VSP program participants for the monthly <br />$9 charge did not start until May 2015. In Order No. PSC -2017 -0499 -TRF -EI, this Commission <br />approved a one-year extension (from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018) to allow FPL to <br />gather additional data regarding the durability of customer interest over a more substantial period <br />of time. 2 <br />The VSP program offers all FPL customers an opportunity, for $9 per month, to <br />participate voluntarily in a program designed to contribute to the construction and operation of <br />solar photovoltaic generation facilities located in communities throughout FPL's service <br />territory. FPL markets the VSP program to its customers as FPL SolarNow. Customers may <br />enroll or cancel their enrollment at any time. FPL's proposed tariff revision, as shown in <br />Attachment A to the order, changes the termination date for service under the VSP program from <br />I Order No. PSC -14 -0468 -TRF -EI, issued August 29, 2014, in Docket No. 140070 -EI, In re: Petition for approval of <br />voluntary solar partnership pilot program and tariff, by Florida Power & Light Company. <br />2 Order No. PSC -2017 -0499 -TRF -EI, issued December 29, 2017, in Docket No. 20170212 -EI, In re: Petition for <br />one-year extension of voluntary solar partnership rider and program, by Florida Power & Light Company. <br />
