365.177 Transfer of E911 calls between systems.—(1) The office shall develop a plan by February 1, 2020, to upgrade 911 public safety answering points within the state to allow the transfer of an emergency call from one local, multijurisdictional, or regional E911 system to another local, multijurisdictional, or regional E911 system in the state. Such transfer should include voice, text message, image, video, caller identification information, location information, and additional standards-based 911 call information.(2) In developing the plan, the office shall:(a) Coordinate with public agencies to identify and resolve any technological or logistical issues.(b) Identify or establish a system or clearinghouse for maintaining contact information for all E911 systems in the state.(c) For both a regionally phased and statewide approach, establish a date, considering any technological, logistical, financial, or other identified issues, by when all E911 systems in the state must be able to transfer emergency calls pursuant to subsection (1).History.—s. 2, ch. 2019-146.
FL Stat § 365.179 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XXVII - Railroads and Other Regulated Utilities|Chapter 365 - Use of Telephones and Facsimile Machines|365.179 - Direct Radio Communication Between 911 Public Safety Answering Points and First Responders.

365.179 Direct radio communication between 911 public safety answering points and first responders.—(1) As used in this section, the term:(a) “First responder agency” includes each law enforcement agency and fire service agency, other than a state agency, and each emergency medical services provider, that is designated as a primary first responder for the service area in which a 911 public safety answering point receives 911 calls.(b) “911 public safety answering point” or “PSAP” means a municipal or county emergency communications or 911 call center in this state that receives cellular, landline, or text-to-911 communications.(2) Each sheriff, in collaboration with all first responder agency heads in his or her county, shall facilitate the development and execution of written interlocal agreements between all primary first responder agencies within the county. Each agreement must establish written protocols that outline circumstances and public safety emergencies under which a PSAP will directly provide notice by radio of an emergency to the on-duty personnel of a first responder agency for which the PSAP does not provide primary dispatch functions. Each agreement must require the PSAP to have direct radio contact with primary first responder agencies and their dispatchers, for whom the PSAP can reasonably receive 911 communications, without having to transfer a 911 communication to another PSAP or dispatch center for dispatch. The method of complying with this requirement shall be established by the first responder agency heads and set forth in each interlocal agreement.(3) Each PSAP must be capable of immediately broadcasting 911 communications or public safety information over the primary radio dispatch channels of each first responder agency in the county it serves, except in those first responders service areas where the PSAP cannot reasonably receive 911 calls. If a county or jurisdiction has multiple PSAPs, each PSAP must have this capability.(4) Unless technologically precluded due to radio incompatibility, upon written request from a law enforcement agency head, a law enforcement agency head in the same county or in an adjacent jurisdiction in another county must authorize the requesting agency to install the responding agency’s primary dispatch channel or channels in the requesting agency’s PSAP, dispatch center, or mobile or portable radios.(5) Each primary first responder agency, PSAP, and dispatch center within each county shall train all applicable personnel regarding the procedures and protocols specified in the interlocal agreements made pursuant to this section. This training shall also include radio functionality and how to readily access the necessary dispatch channels in accordance with the interlocal agreements.History.—s. 3, ch. 2019-146; s. 20, ch. 2021-51.

FL Stat § 366.051 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XXVII - Railroads and Other Regulated Utilities|Chapter 366 - Public Utilities|366.051 - Cogeneration; Small Power Production; Commission Jurisdiction.

366.051 Cogeneration; small power production; commission jurisdiction.—Electricity produced by cogeneration and small power production is of benefit to the public when included as part of the total energy supply of the entire electric grid of the state or consumed by a cogenerator or small power producer. The electric utility in whose service area a cogenerator or small power producer is located shall purchase, in accordance with applicable law, all electricity offered for sale by such cogenerator or small power producer; or the cogenerator or small power producer may sell such electricity to any other electric utility in the state. The commission shall establish guidelines relating to the purchase of power or energy by public utilities from cogenerators or small power producers and may set rates at which a public utility must purchase power or energy from a cogenerator or small power producer. In fixing rates for power purchased by public utilities from cogenerators or small power producers, the commission shall authorize a rate equal to the purchasing utility’s full avoided costs. A utility’s “full avoided costs” are the incremental costs to the utility of the electric energy or capacity, or both, which, but for the purchase from cogenerators or small power producers, such utility would generate itself or purchase from another source. The commission may use a statewide avoided unit when setting full avoided capacity costs. If the cogenerator or small power producer provides adequate security, based on its financial stability, and no costs in excess of full avoided costs are likely to be incurred by the electric utility over the term during which electricity is to be provided, the commission shall authorize the levelization of payments and the elimination of discounts due to risk factors in determining the rates. Public utilities shall provide transmission or distribution service to enable a retail customer to transmit electrical power generated by the customer at one location to the customer’s facilities at another location, if the commission finds that the provision of this service, and the charges, terms, and other conditions associated with the provision of this service, are not likely to result in higher cost electric service to the utility’s general body of retail and wholesale customers or adversely affect the adequacy or reliability of electric service to all customers. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, power generated by the customer and provided by the utility to the customers’ facility at another location is subject to the gross receipts tax imposed under s. 203.01 and the use tax imposed under s. 212.06. Such taxes shall apply at the time the power is provided at such other location and shall be based upon the cost price of such power as provided in s. 212.06(1)(b).History.—ss. 5, 22, ch. 89-292; s. 4, ch. 91-429.
FL Stat § 366.055 (2021)

366.055 Availability of, and payment for, energy reserves.—(1) Energy reserves of all utilities in the Florida energy grid shall be available at all times to ensure that grid reliability and integrity are maintained. The commission is authorized to take such action as is necessary to assure compliance. However, prior commitments as to energy use:(a) In interstate commerce, as approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission;(b) Between one electric utility and another, which have been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; or(c) Between an electric utility which is a part of the energy grid created herein and another energy gridshall not be abridged or altered except during an energy emergency as declared by the Governor and Cabinet.(2)(a) When the energy produced by one electric utility is transferred to another or others through the energy grid and under the powers granted by this section, the commission shall direct the appropriate recipient utility or utilities to reimburse the producing utility in accordance with the latest wholesale electric rates approved for the producing utility by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for such purposes.(b) Any utility which provides a portion of those transmission facilities involved in the transfer of energy from a producing utility to a recipient utility or utilities shall be entitled to receive an appropriate reimbursement commensurate with the transmission facilities and services provided. However, no utility shall be required to sell purchased power to a recipient utility or utilities at a rate lower than the rate at which the power is purchased from a producing utility.(3) To assure efficient and reliable operation of a state energy grid, the commission shall have the power to require any electric utility to transmit electrical energy over its transmission lines from one utility to another or as a part of the total energy supply of the entire grid, subject to the provisions hereof.History.—s. 3, ch. 74-196; s. 3, ch. 76-168; s. 1, ch. 77-457; ss. 6, 16, ch. 80-35; s. 2, ch. 81-318; ss. 20, 22, ch. 89-292; s. 4, ch. 91-429.
