FPSC Role in Electric Capacity and Fuel Emergencies


Authority to maintain a reliable and coordinated grid for operational
“as well as emergency purposes.” 366.04(2)(c), Florida Statutes.
Two Response Plans Under FPSC Rules
I.
Generating Capacity Shortage (25-6.0183, Florida
Administrative Code)
II.
Fuel Emergency Plans (25-6.0185, Florida Administrative
Code)
7
Generating Capacity Shortage Plan

4 Levels of Action
1.
Generating Capacity Advisory is established based on:
A.
Weather
B.
Individual utility is issuing conservation appeal
C.
Potential disruption of gas pipeline
2.
Generating Capacity Alert exists when:
A.
The FRCC reserve capacity operating margin falls below the largest generator.
B.
Gas pipeline interruption
3.
Generating Capacity Emergency exists when:
A.
One or more utility cannot meet its obligation to serve firm load
B.
Controlled load interruption to maintain grid reliability and safety
4.
System Load Restoration
8
Fuel Emergency Plans

Utilities develop specific fuel interruption plans

FPSC approves initial plan and any subsequent revisions

Plans address options such as off system purchases, fuel sharing, and
priorities for customer interruptions
