Florida Public Service Commission
November 14, 2023
FPSC Jurisdiction
Chapter 366, F.S.
• Authority over all electric utilities for the planning, development, and
maintenance of a coordinated electric grid to assure an adequate and
reliable supply of energy.
• If inadequacies exist, the Commission has the authority to require repairs,
improvements, additions, and replacements of utility generation,
transmission, or distribution facilities.
• Prescribe fair and reasonable rates and charges for investor-owned utilities
in order to ensure the reliable provision of service.
2
FPSC Jurisdiction
Chapter 366, F.S.
• Goal is to achieve a balance between the cost of providing service and the
reliability of the service provided.
• First step of process is the Ten-Year Site Plan (TYSP) review.
3
Ten-Year Site Plans
Chapter 186, F.S.
• The intent of the Ten-Year Site Plans is to give state, regional, and local
agencies advance notice of proposed power plants and transmission
facilities.
• Utilities provide forecasts of customer energy needs and resulting
generation and transmission requirements to maintain reliability.
• Recent plans include impacts of increased solar generation resources and
electric vehicle adoption.
4
Ten-Year Site Plans
Chapter 186, F.S.
• Ten-Year Site Plans are not a binding plan of action on electric utilities. As
such, the Commission’s classification of a Ten-Year Site Plan as suitable or
unsuitable has no binding effect on the utility.
• The Commission’s annual reviews can be found at:
https://www.floridapsc.com/ten-year-site-plans
5
Impact of Electric Vehicles
• In 2012, the FPSC reported on the effects of Electric Vehicle (EV)
charging on the grid. (See 366.94(4), F.S.)
• At that time, EVs were estimated to account for less than 0.01 percent of all
energy consumed. This value was projected to increase to approximately
0.33 percent by 2021. Similar impacts on peak demand were also
estimated.
• As such, EVs were not expected to drive the need for any new generation
over this ten-year period.
6
Impact of Electric Vehicles
• Clustering of EV chargers in residential neighborhoods or public quick
charge stations could impact the distribution system.
• Full report can be found at:
https://www.floridapsc.com/pscfiles/website-
files/PDF/Publications/Reports/ElectricGas//Electric_Vehicle_Charging_Report.pdf
7
Impact of Electric Vehicles
• In 2018, the FPSC provided an update to the 2012 EV report.
• While the market for all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles had
expanded, the EV market was still considered a niche market representing a
small percentage (3-4%) of total vehicles sold each year.
• Again, no material effect on need for new generation. Any need for
distribution upgrades would be localized and isolated.
8
Impact of Electric Vehicles
• Since EV charging is most likely to impact distribution system, time-of-use
rates are a useful strategy to mitigate potential increases in peak demand
associated with EV charging, by encouraging EV owners to charge during
off-peak hours.
• Full report can be found at:
https://www.floridapsc.com/pscfiles/website-
files/PDF/Utilities/ElectricGas/ElectricVehicles//2018/2018_Electric_Vehicle_Charging_Study_
Update.pdf
9
Impact of Electric Vehicles
• Utilities have an obligation to serve all of a customer’s load as it changes
over time. As previously mentioned, EV impacts are incorporated into
utility load forecasts for the TYSP process. The values below are only for 7
reporting utilities.
• In Florida, EVs are estimated to grow from approximately 279,000 in 2023
to approximately 2.6 million by 2032.
• Public charging stations are projected to grow from approximately 11,000
to 49,000 during this same time period.
10
Impact of Electric Vehicles
• By 2032, EV energy consumption is projected to be 3.9% of total energy
consumed, 4% of summer peak demand and 1.8% of winter peak demand.
• EV impact is growing, but also being closely monitored by the utilities and
reviewed by the FPSC through the TYSP review.
11
Electric Utility EV Charging Programs
• In recent years, utilities have sought and been granted approval for EV
charging programs.
• Duke Energy’s 2021 EV charging program
– 100 fast-charge stations
– Tariff for a fast-charge fee collected from EV owners who used DEF stations. Fee based
on average cost for charging provided by other fast-charge operators
– Rebates for commercial/industrial customers installing level 2 or fast-charge stations
– Residential customer credit ($10/month) if they observe off-peak charging
12
Electric Utility EV Charging Programs
• Florida Power and Light’s 2021 EV pilot charging program (2022-2025)
– Public fast-charging stations
– Residential level 2 chargers
– Commercial fleet charging
– Evaluation of emerging EV technologies and enhancements to software to support
charging programs
– Education component to increase awareness
• Tampa Electric’s 2021 EV pilot charging program
– 200 level 2 chargers
– 4 fast-charge stations

BlockEnergy is a distributed energy platform that is owned by utilities with high levels of renewables and superior resilience. Utilities can
now offer communities a local renewable energy system that brings them solar energy and storage at their home, while remaining a grid
asset. Its smart distributed controls make it easy to scale. BlockEnergy can operate independently of the Grid, or act as a Grid resource.
Its data-rich digital platform integrates seamlessly into existing SCADA systems and its design aggregates hundreds of rooftop solar
connections into a single point of common coupling.

WHY?
– 2x the fast chargers available today
• Accelerate convergence to a single standard
– Combined Charging System (CCS)-
• Accelerate customer confidence & EV

• Benefit from NACS
– Availability, ergonomics, reliability, etc.
Vehicle-Grid Integration (VGI)
EVs are smart, flexible load that can provide
widespread benefits for FL V1G – Unidirectional Managed Charging
• Reduced impact on the grid • Start, stop, slow charging to align with grid needs
• Avoided infrastructure investments • Reduces grid impacts and upgrades
• Lower electricity costs • Saves money for customers and businesses
• Grid resiliency and renewable integration • Minimal customer impact
• Emergency backup power
V2X – Bidirectional Charging
• Bidirectional flow of electricity into / out of vehicle
• Can provide home backup in case of outage (V2H)
• Potential to sell power back to the grid (V2G)
EVs and other distributed energy resources can be
aggregated to create “virtual power plants”
