  7. 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 • Generating Capacity Shortage (25-6.0183, Florida Administrative Code) • Fuel Emergency Plans (25-6.0185, Florida Administrative Code)

  8. Generating Capacity Shortage Plan • 4 Levels of Action • Generating Capacity Advisory is established based on: • Weather • Individual utility is issuing conservation appeal • Potential disruption of gas pipeline • Generating Capacity Alert exists when: • The FRCC reserve capacity operating margin falls below the largest generator. • Gas pipeline interruption • Generating Capacity Emergency exists when: • One or more utility cannot meet its obligation to serve firm load • Controlled load interruption to maintain grid reliability and safety • 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
