ORDER SUSPENDING TARIFF
Background
On March 22, 2023, Duke Energy Florida, LLC (Duke) filed a petition for approval of
modifications to rate schedule Tariff Sheet Nos. 2.0, 2.7, 6.383, and 7.500. Specifically, Duke is
proposing modifications to Tariff Sheet Nos. 2.0 and 2.7 to reflect current Advanced Metering
Infrastructure (AMI) technology and cost structure. These tariffs are voluntary and are available
to certain commercial customers who want to review reports of their historic consumption data.
Duke asserts that AMI technology has made data on daily use available at a lower cost and it is
proposing to eliminate the monthly and weekly option while reducing the cost of the daily option
offered under the tariff.
Additionally, Duke is proposing modifications to Tariff Sheet Nos. 6.383 and 7.500 to
make changes to its economic development program in order to reflect the experience gained
from implementing the program. Duke is proposing to add two additional criteria (geographic
location benefits and economic multiplier) to the program, which Duke asserts will allow it to
properly value a customer's new or expanded load. The load determined by the criteria impacts
the overall discount offered under the tariff.
We have jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Sections 366.03, 366.04, 366.05, a nd
366.06, Florida Statutes (F .S.).
Decision
The proposed tariff modifications are hereby suspended to allow staff sufficient time to
review the petition and gather all pertinent information in order to present us with an informed
recommendation on the tariff proposals.
