ORDER NO. PSC -2020 -0154 -PCO -EI DOCKET NO. 20200001 -EI PAGE 5 Mid -Course Correction — Capacity As part of its request, Tampa Electric is proposing to reduce its 2020 capacity cost recovery factors by a projected 2020 over -recovery of $2,885,599. Tampa Electric's capacity mid -course correction position following the calculation methodology in Rule 25-6.0424(1)(a), F.A.C., is 182 percent. Tampa Electric stated the projected over -recovery was caused by. the inclusion of two Solar Base Rate Adjustment (SoBRA) true ups and additional firm power purchase agreements (netted against the SoBRA true ups) in its revised capacity cost estimate for 2020.12 Tampa Electric, unlike with its fuel reduction, did not incorporate a final 2019 capacity over -recovery of $111,228 in the mid -course adjustment as it believes the amount is "de minimus" to the overall request. Tampa Electric claimed it will return the $111,228 to customers in 2021, or through the normal course of action during this fuel clause cycle. As proposed, the mid -course correction related to capacity will be distributed over the June through December... time period. We agree with this assessment concerning the relative size of the 2019 capacity over -recovery as compared to the total mid -course adjustment and find that Tampa Electric's proposed treatment is reasonable.
