Background On September 4, 2020, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL or utility) filed a petition for approval of proposed disposition of its Voluntary Solar Partnership Rider and Program (SolarNow or program). SolarNow was first approved in 2014 (2014 Order) as a three-year pilot with a termination date of December 31, 2017.1 The program offers FPL customers an opportunity, for $9 per month, to participate in a voluntary program designed to fully-fund the construction and operation of solar photovoltaic generation facilities and support programs to educate customers on solar energy. These solar facilities are located in communities throughout FPL's service territory. Customers may enroll or cancel their enrollment at any time. In 2017, we approved a one-year extension to allow FPL to gather additional data regarding the durability of customer interest over a more substantial period? In 2018, we approved an additional one-year extension to allow FPL to complete and evaluate research regarding how the SolarNow pilot program and a planned new shared solar program, SolarTogether, would impact each other.3 In December 2019, we approved an additional one- year extension to allow FPL to further assess the potential overlap of the SolarNow pilot I Order No.PSC-14-0468-TRF-EI,issued August 29,2014,in Docket No.20140070-EI,In re:Petition for approval of voluntary solar partnership pilot program and tares by Florida Power&Light Company. 2 Order No. PSC-2017-0499-TRF-EI, issued December 29, 2017, in Docket No. 20170212-EI,In re: Petition for one-year extension of voluntary solar partnership rider and program, by Florida Power&Light Company. 3 Order No.PSC-2018-0581-TRF-EI,issued December 17,2018,in Docket No.20180160-EI,In re:Petition for 12- month extension of voluntary solar partnership rider and program, by Florida Power&Light Company.
