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 RulesI. Generating Capacity Shortage (25-6.0183, Florida
Administrative Code)II. Fuel Emergency Plans (25-6.0185, Florida Administrative
Code)
8
Generating Capacity Shortage Plan
4 Levels of Action1. Generating Capacity Advisory is established based on:
A. WeatherB. Individual utility is issuing conservation appealC. 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 loadB. Controlled load interruption to maintain grid reliability and safety
4. System Load Restoration
9
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
