Public Building Requirements List All

The 2006 Florida Energy Plan calls for all new state government buildings to meet LEED standards and for a reduction of energy consumption in state facilities by 25% from 2002 levels by 2007. It is unclear if a post-2007 energy savings target is in place for new and existing state buildings. Green building requirements have been expanded several times since then. Executive Order 07-126 directs the Florida Department of Management Services to set Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building standards for the state's new and existing state-owned buildings. In 2008, Florida Governor Charlie Crist approved House Bill 7135, which requires newly constructed or renovated buildings financed by the state to be designed and built to meet a nationally recognized sustainable building rating or national model green building code. Eligible rating systems include those established by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, the International Green Construction Code (IGCC), the Green Building Initiative’s Green Globes rating system, the Florida Green Building Coalition standards, or a nationally recognized, high-performance green building rating system as approved by the department. State agencies also must lease ENERGY STAR-rated buildings and employ energy saving performance contracts to upgrade existing facilities.

In 2008, the Florida Legislature passed the Florida Energy Conservation and Sustainable Buildings Act, directing state agencies to incorporate sustainable building practices into the design, construction, and renovation of state buildings. Through this act, the Florida Department of Management Services (FDMS) developed the Florida Life-Cycle Cost Analysis Program (Chapter 60D-4, Florida Administrative Code), which pertains to the evaluation of life-cycle energy performance for alternative building designs. Additionally, FDMS developed the State Energy Management Plan (SEMP), which is a comprehensive plan to help state agencies reduce energy consumption and costs. The SEMP includes the following: data-gathering requirements, building energy audit procedures, uniform data analysis procedures, employee education program measures, energy consumption reduction techniques, training for agency energy management coordinators, guidelines for building managers, and measures to reduce energy consumption in the area of transportation.

§ 255.257 F.S., requires each state agency to collect data on energy consumption and cost for all state-owned facilities and metered state-leased facilities. Additionally, § 255.257 F.S., requires each state agency use a sustainable building rating system or a national model green building code for each new building and renovation to an existing building.

The state has an incentive program for CHP projects, but otherwise has limited policies to encourage CHP development. One new CHP system was installed in 2018.

Interconnection StandardsList All

Policy: Florida Public Service Commission Rule 25-6.065

Description: The Florida Public Service Commission adopted its interconnection standard in March 2008. The standards, which apply to distributed generation systems up to 2MW in size, delineate three separate tiers of interconnection based upon system size. The interconnection rule applies only to generation using renewable fuels, but includes waste heat in its definition of “renewable energy.” Some CHP systems may be interpreted as using “waste heat” as a primary fuel, but there is no wording that clearly defines CHP as eligible for interconnection using this standard.

Utilities Summary List All

The Florida Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (FEECA) (366.82(1)(a), Florida Statutes) applies to all investor-owned electric utilities, plus electric municipal utilities and cooperatives whose 1993 annual sales to end-use customers is equal to or exceeded 2,000 GWh. It also applies to natural gas utilities whose annual sales volume is equal to or exceeds 100 million therms. This act requires each utility to implement cost-effective energy-efficiency programs and to conduct energy audits. It also includes improving the efficiency of generation, transmission and distribution systems.

FEECA also established the authority for the Florida Public Service Commission to set targets for energy and peak demand savings and to require each affected utility to develop and implement energy efficiency programs.The Public Service Commission must revisit the goals at least every five years, and did so in 2019.  By Order No. PSC-2019-0509-FOF-EG, the Commission declined to set new goals, voting to continue (through 2024) the goals that were approved in Order No. PSC-2014-0696-FOF-EG

The Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) reviews and approves utilities’ energy efficiency plans. According to FEECA, the FPSC may allow investor-owned utilities to earn an additional return on equity of up to 50 basis points for saving 20 percent or more of their annual load-growth via energy efficiency. No utilities have yet requested the additional return. The FPSC may also assess penalties if utilities do not meet the goals.

Florida does not have an EERS.

The Florida Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (FEECA -- Sections 366.80-85 and 403.519 of the Florida Statutes) established the authority for the Florida Public Service Commission to set targets for energy and peak demand savings and to require each affected utility to develop and implement energy efficiency programs. The Public Service Commission must revisit the goals at least every five years. Specific energy and peak demand savings goals were set for each of the seven "FEECA utilities" in 2014 for 2015 through 2024. These goals are lower than those approved by the Commission in 2009. The Commission identified fewer programs as cost effective due to more stringent building codes and appliance efficiency standards, as well as lower avoided costs resulting from lower natural gas prices

In 2019, the Commission adopted the same goals approved by the Commission in 2014. The most recent status of Florida's Energy Efficiency and Conservation efforts for utilities under the Commission's oversight can be found in the Commission's November 2021 FEECA Report. A comprehensive description of the goal-setting process and methodology can be found in Order No. PSC-14-0696-FOF-EU.

Utility Business Model List All

Florida does not have decoupling or lost revenue adjustment mechanisms in place for electric or natural gas utilities. HB 7135 instructed the Public Service Commission to analyze utility revenue decoupling and provide a report and recommendations to the governor and the legislature in December 2008. In 2008, the FPSC decided that existing annual cost recovery clauses made it unnecessary to introduce decoupling, though gas utilities could still request decoupling in a rate case. In 2009 the FPSC concluded that utilities may request an increase in rates in order to maintain a reasonable rate of return when efficiency programs reduce revenues, but none have been authorized (See Final Order PSC-09-0855-FOF-EG).

Sections 366.82(8) and (9) of Florida Statute authorize the commission to provide financial rewards and penalties and to allow gas and electric investor-owned utility to earn an additional return on equity for exceeding energy efficiency and conservation goals. Specifically the FPSC may allow utilities to earn an additional return on equity of up to 50 basis points for exceeding 20% of their annual load-growth through energy efficiency measures. The FPSC may also assess penalties if utilities do not meet the goals. No utilities have yet requested the additional return.

Evaluation, Measurement, & Verification List All
  • Primary cost-effectiveness test(s) used: ratepayer impact measure test
  • Secondary cost-effectiveness test(s) used: total resource cost test, participant cost test

The evaluation of ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs in Florida relies on both legislative mandates (Florida Statutes Sections 366.82(10) and 377.703(2)(f) and regulatory orders (Rule 25-17.0021). Evaluations are administered by each utility. Florida has established formal rules and procedures for evaluation, which are stated in Rule 25-17.0021.

According to the Database of State Efficiency Screening Practices (DSESP), Florida specifies a Ratepayer Impact Measure test (RIM) to be its primary cost effectiveness test for decision making. In addition, Florida uses the Total Resource Cost test (TRC) and Participant Cost Test (PCT) in a secondary capacity, and uses three of the five classic benefit-cost tests identified in the California Standard Practice Manual. These are the Total Resource Cost (TRC), Participant Cost Test (PCT), and Ratepayer Impact Measure (RIM). Cost-effectiveness testing is further limited by a rule that eliminates any measure with a payback less than 2 years. The rules for benefit-cost tests are stated in Rule 25-17.008. These benefit-cost tests are required for total program level screening with exceptions for some low-income programs.

Further information on cost-effectiveness screening practices for Florida is available in the Database of State Efficiency Screening Practices (DSESP), a resource of the National Efficiency Screening Project (NESP).

Guidelines for Low-Income Energy Efficiency Programs List All

Requirements for State and Utility Support of Low-Income Energy Efficiency Programs

By Order No. PSC-14-0696-FOF-EU, the Commission directed the FEECA utilities to educate low-income customers on energy efficiency opportunities. The Florida Public Service Commission is not aware of legislation or regulations requiring specific levels of utility spending or savings related to low-income energy efficiency programs. The above-referenced Order requires each utility to assist and educate low-income customers, specifically with respect to measures that have less than a two-year payback. In 2019, by Order No. PSC-2019-0509-FOF-EG, the Commission affirmed the support originally expressed in the prior order. The DSM Plans offered since the 2014 and 2019 Orders were issued (in 2015 and 2020) provide each company's plan to educate low-income customers on energy efficiency and conservation.

The Commission has adopted specific goals to track and/or evaluate energy efficiency for business and residential customer classes, but none that are prescriptively identified as for low-income and marginalized communities. In annual reports, the FEECA utilities provide data on participation levels and program costs for all programs, in addition to goal achievement information. The annual reports are available here.

 

Cost-Effectiveness Rules for Low-Income Energy Efficiency Programs

Program-level cost-effectiveness tests are applied to all programs, including low-income energy efficiency programs.  

In Florida, the state energy efficiency cost-effectiveness tests do not include customer health & safety benefits (e.g., fewer sick days from work or school, reduced medical costs, improved indoor air quality, and reduced deaths).
