BY THE COMMISSION:
Background
Enacted in 1980, Sections 366.80 through 366.83, and 403.519, Florida Statutes (F.S.),
are known collectively as the Florida Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (FEECA).
FEECA requires us to adopt appropriate goals to increase the efficiency of energy consumption
and, pursuant to Section 366.82(6), F.S., we must review the goals of each utility subject to
FEECA at least every five years.
The six electric utilities subject to FEECA, collectively known as the FEECA Utilities,
are Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), Duke Energy Florida, LLC (DEF), Tampa Electric
Company (TECO), Florida Public Utilities Company (FPUC), JEA, and Orlando Utilities

Commission (OUC). Pursuant to Rule 25-17.0021, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.),
numeric goals were last established for the FEECA Utilities by Order No. PSC-19-0509-FOF-
EU, issued November 26, 2019. Therefore, new goals must be established by January 2025.
By Order No. PSC-2024-0022-PCO-EG, issued February 28, 2024, the dockets for each
of the FEECA Utilities were consolidated for purposes of hearing, and controlling dates and a
tentative list of issues were established.
White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. d/b/a/ PCS Phosphate – White Springs (PCS
Phosphate) was granted leave to intervene on February 13, 2024. 1 We acknowledged the
intervention of the Office of Public Counsel (OPC) on February 28, 2024.2 We acknowledged
the intervention of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) on
April 24, 2024.3 The Florida Industrial Power Users Group (FIPUG) 4 , the Florida League of
United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)5 , Florida Rising, Inc. (Florida Rising)6 , and Nucor
Steel Florida, Inc. (Nucor)7 were granted leave to intervene on April 25, 2024. The Southern
Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) 8 and Walmart Inc. (Walmart)9 were granted leave to
intervene on April 30, 2024. OPC withdrew from the proceeding on May 22, 2024.10
Pursuant to Notice and in accordance with Rule 28-106.209, F.A.C., a hearing was held
on August 8, 2024, in Tallahassee, Florida, before the above commissioners.
Decision
Legal Background
FEECA directs us to promote four key priorities: (1) reducing and controlling the growth
rates of weather-sensitive peak demand and electricity usage, (2) increasing the efficiency and
cost-effectiveness 	of 	the 	production 	and 	consumption 	of 	electricity 	and 	natural 	gas, 	(3)
encouraging demand-side renewable energy systems, and (4) conserving expensive resources,
particularly petroleum fuel.11 The Legislature emphasized that it is critical to utilize “efficient
and cost-effective” conservation systems.12 Section 366.82, F.S., bifurcates our responsibility
under FEECA into two separately docketed proceedings. First, in the goalsetting dockets, we
must establish appropriate goals for increasing the efficiency of energy consumption and
increasing the development of demand-side renewable energy systems. Following the adoption

of goals, in the plan approval dockets, each FEECA Utility must file plans and programs to meet
the goals within its service area. The present docket was opened to address the first, goalsetting
portion of our FEECA proceedings for DEF.
FEECA requires that we establish goals designed to increase the conservation of
expensive resources, such as petroleum fuels; reduce and control the growth rates of electric
consumption; reduce the growth rates of weather-sensitive peak demand; and encourage
development of demand-side renewable energy resources.13 Section 366.82(3), F.S., prescribes
the following criteria for our evaluation of the conservation goals:
In developing the goals, the commission shall evaluate the full technical potential
of 	all 	available 	demand-side 	and 	supply-side 	conservation 	and 	efficiency
measures, including demand-side renewable energy systems. In establishing the
goals, the commission shall take into consideration:
(a) 	The costs and benefits to customers participating in the measure.
(b) 	The costs and benefits to the general body of ratepayers as a whole,
including utility incentives and participant contributions.
(c) 	The need for incentives to promote both customer-owned and utility-owned
energy efficiency and demand-side renewable energy systems.
(d) 	The costs imposed by state and federal regulations on the emission of
greenhouse gases.
The Commission implements FEECA for electric utilities through Rule 25-17.0021,
F.A.C. Pursuant to that rule, for each FEECA Utility, we establish annual kilowatt (KW) and
kilowatt-hour (KWh) goals for Residential and Commercial/Industrial customer classes.14 The
goals are based on (1) an assessment of the technical potential of available conservation and
efficiency measures, and (2) an estimate of the total cost-effective KW and KWh savings
reasonably achievable through demand-side management (DSM) programs in each utility’s
service area over a ten-year period.15 The goals we establish are annual targets for conservation,
with KW goals relating to seasonal—summer and winter—demand savings, and annual KWh
goals relating to annual energy savings.
Following the last goalsetting proceedings in 2019, after receiving feedback from the
utilities, intervenors, and interested persons, we amended Rule 25-17.0021, F.A.C., to streamline
our FEECA process by requiring utilities to file potential conservation programs along with their
proposed goals. This allows us to analyze the utilities’ proposed goals based upon energy (KWh)
and demand (KW) savings from customer participation in potential programs they plan to
implement, thus giving us better information as to the appropriateness of the goals. Thus,
although utility conservation plans and the underlying programs and measures to implement
those plans are not approved at this time, each utility must include sufficient information related

to the cost-effectiveness of its potential DSM programs to support the appropriateness of its
proposed goals.16
Analysis
Pursuant to Section 366.82, F.A.C., we must evaluate whether the goals requested by
DEF are appropriate. Pursuant to the Prehearing Order, Order No. PSC-2024-0293-PHO-EG,
issued August 2, 2024, a final list of issues was established for the consolidated hearing. Issues
1-7 address whether each utility, in developing its proposed goals, adequately addressed the
considerations prescribed by statute and Commission rule. Issue 8 addresses, for the purpose of
establishing goals for rate-regulated utilities, whether we should consider changing credit levels
for demand response programs in the FEECA goalsetting proceedings or in their base rate
proceedings. Issues 9-11 were specific only to FPL’s docket and thus not at issue for DEF. Issues
12 and 13 are the ultimate issues addressing, in light of the preceding issues, what conservation
goals we should establish for DEF as required by Section 366.82, F.S.
Following a robust discovery process, we were presented with a series of proposed Type
II stipulations,17 set forth below in Attachment A, that fully resolved all issues in this docket.
DEF, PCS Phosphate, Nucor, LULAC, Florida Rising, SACE, and Walmart supported the
stipulations. FIPUG supported the stipulations on Issues 8A and 8B at the August 8, 2024,
hearing and took no position on all other stipulations. FDACS took no position on all issues.
Commission staff recommended approval of the proposed stipulations. We approved the
proposed stipulations by a bench vote at the August 8, 2024, hearing.
We find that each of the stipulations are supported by evidence in the record. We also
find that the testimony and exhibits in the record adequately address the statutory considerations
required by Section 366.82(3), F.S., and demonstrate that the goals stipulated for Issues 12 and
13, as set forth in Attachment A, will increase the conservation of expensive resources, such as
petroleum fuels; reduce and control the growth rates of electric consumption; reduce the growth
rates of weather-sensitive peak demand; and encourage development of demand-side renewable
energy resources. In particular, we found the testimony and exhibits of DEF witnesses Jim
Herndon and Tim Duff, as well as the discovery responses provided by DEF, support our finding
that the stipulated goals are reasonable and consistent with the requirements of Section 366.82,
F.S., and Rule 25-17.0021, F.A.C. For these reasons, we find the stipulated goals to be
appropriate.
Conclusion
The 	stipulations 	listed in 	Attachment 	A 	address 	all 	the 	requirements 	of 	FEECA
enumerated in Section 366.82, F.S., and satisfy the requirements of Rule 25-17.0021, F.A.C.
16 Section 366.82(7), F.S., addresses how we must evaluate and approve the utilities’ plans to implement the
Commission-established goals during the subsequent plan approval proceeding.
17 A Type II stipulation is one in which the utility and Commission staff, or the utility and at least one party
adversarial to the utility, agree on the resolution of an issue, and the remaining parties (including staff if they do not
join in the agreement) do not object to the Commission relying on the agreed language to resolve that issue in a final
order.

With respect to DEF, based on the stipulation to Issue 8b described below, the parties agree that
no general policy guidance is required on this question at this time. The parties further agree that
no changes in these credits shall be implemented any earlier than the effective date of new DEF
base rates implemented pursuant to a general base rate proceeding, and that such new
IS/CS/GSLM-2 credits shall only be implemented prospectively from such effective date. At such
time as DEF’s base rates are reset in a general base rate proceeding, the IS/CS/GSLM-2 credits
may be reset. In the next Demand Side Management goals and plan approval proceeding (currently

anticipated to occur in 2029), DEF shall not propose to change the level of the credits.”

Issue 8(b): In this proceeding, what demand credit rates as appropriate for establishing
DEF’s goals?

Stipulation:

For the purpose of Stipulation and for the limited purpose of establishing DEF’s goals, the
parties agree that Issue 8b is not applicable and that the appropriate demand
credits are those stated in the pending 2024 Settlement Agreement filed

contemporaneously in Docket No. 20240025-EI.
