Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1)
				For the purpose of these rules the Commission adopts the Federal Energy
				Regulatory Commission Rules 292.101 through 292.207, effective March 20, 1980,
				regarding definitions and criteria that a small power producer or cogenerator
				must meet to achieve the status of a qualifying facility. Small power producers
				and cogenerators which fail to meet the FERC criteria for achieving qualifying
				facility status but otherwise meet the objectives of economically reducing
				Florida's dependence on oil and the economic deferral of utility power plant
				expenditures may petition the Commission to be granted qualifying facility
				status for the purpose of receiving energy and capacity payments pursuant to
				these rules.
(2) In general, under
				the FERC regulations, a small power producer is a qualifying facility if:
(a) The small power producer does not exceed
				80 MW; and
(b) The primary (at
				least 50%) energy source of the small power producer is biomass, waste, or
				another renewable resource; and
(c)
				The small power production facility is not owned by a person primarily engaged
				in the generation or sale of electricity. This criterion is met if less than
				50% of the equity interest in the facility is owned by a utility, utility
				holding company, or a subsidiary of them.

Florida Administrative Code › 25 - PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION › 25 - Departmental › Chapter 25-17 - CONSERVATION › Section 25-17.0825 - As-Available Energy

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) As-available energy
				is energy produced and sold by a qualifying facility on an hour-by-hour basis
				for which contractual commitments as to the quantity, time, or reliability of
				delivery are not required. Each utility shall purchase as-available energy from
				any qualifying facility. As-available energy shall be sold by a qualifying
				facility and purchased by a utility pursuant to the terms and conditions of a
				published tariff or a separately negotiated contract.
As-available energy sold by a qualifying facility shall be
				  purchased by the utility at a rate, in cents per kilowatt-hour, not to exceed
				  the utility's avoided energy cost. Because of the lack of assurances as to the
				  quantity, time, or reliability of delivery of as-available energy, no capacity
				  payments shall be made to a qualifying facility for the delivery of
				  as-available energy.
(a) Tariff Rates:
				Each utility shall publish a tariff for the purchase of as-available energy
				from qualifying facilities. Each utility's published tariff shall state that
				the rate of payment for as-available energy is the utility's avoided energy
				cost as defined in subsection (2) of this rule, less the additional costs
				directly attributable to the purchase of such energy from a qualifying
				facility. The additional costs directly associated with the purchase of
				as-available energy from qualifying facilities shall be specifically identified
				in the utility's tariff.
(b)
				Contract Rates: Each utility may enter into a separately negotiated contract
				for the purchase of as-available energy from a qualifying facility. All
				contracts for the purchase of as-available energy between a qualifying facility
				and a utility shall be filed with the Commission within 10 working days of
				their signing. Those qualifying facilities wishing to negotiate a contract for
				the sale of firm capacity and energy with terms different from those in a
				utility's standard offer contract may do so pursuant to subsection
				 25-17.0832(2),
				F.A.C. Where parties cannot agree on the terms and conditions of a negotiated
				contract, either party may apply to the Commission for relief pursuant to Rule
				 25-17.0834,
				F.A.C.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
Public utilities are required to provide transmission and

				  generated at one location to the customer's facilities at another location when
				  the provision of such service and its associated charges, terms, and other
				  conditions are not reasonably projected 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. The determination of whether transmission service for self service
				  is likely to result in higher cost electric service may be made by using cost
				  effectiveness methodology employed by the Commission in evaluating conservation
				  programs of the utility, adjusted as appropriate to reflect the qualifying
				  facility's contribution to the utility for standby service and wheeling
				  charges, other utility program costs, the fact that qualifying facility
				  self-service performance can be precisely metered and monitored, and taking
				  into consideration the unique load characteristics of the qualifying facility
				  compared to other conservation programs.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Definitions and Applicability:
(a) "Solid Waste Facility" means a facility
				owned or operated by, or on behalf of, local government, the purpose of which
				is to dispose of solid waste, as that term is defined in Section
				 403.703(13),
				F.S. (1988), and to generate electricity.
(b) A facility is owned by or operated on
				behalf of a local government if the power purchase agreement is between the
				local government and the electric utility.
(c) A solid waste facility shall include a
				facility which is not owned or operated by a local government but is operated
				on its behalf. When the power purchase agreement is between a non-governmental
				entity and an electric utility, the facility is operated by a private entity on
				behalf of a local government if:
1. One or
				more local governments have entered into a long-term agreement with the private
				entity for the disposal of solid waste for which the local governments are
				responsible and that agreement has a term at least as long as the term of the
				contract for the purchase of energy and capacity from the facility;
				and
2. The Commission determines
				there is no undue risk imposed on the electric ratepayers of the purchasing
				utility, based on:
a. The local government's
				acceptance of responsibility for the private entity's performance of the power
				purchase contract, or
b. Such other
				factors as the Commission deems appropriate, including, without limitation, the
				issuance of bonds by the local government to finance all, or a substantial
				portion, of the costs of the facility; the reliability of the solid waste
				technology; and the financial capability of the private owner and
				operator.
3. The
				requirements of subparagraph 2. shall be satisfied if a local government
				described in subparagraph 1. enters into an agreement with the purchasing
				utility providing that in the event of a default by the private entity under
				the power purchase contract, the local government shall perform the private
				entity's obligations, or cause them to be performed, for the remaining term of
				the contract, and shall not seek to renegotiate the power purchase
				contract.
(d) This rule
				shall apply to all contracts for the purchase of energy or capacity from solid
				waste facilities entered into, or renegotiated as provided in subsection (3),
				after October 1, 1988.
