FPL DEMAND REDUCTION RIDER

Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee · 2026-09-10 · resolution

The document is a legislative matter for a resolution approving and authorizing the County Mayor to execute Commercial/Industrial Demand Reduction Rider Agreements between Florida Power & Light and Miami-Dade County for the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department's South and Central District Wastewater Treatment Plants. The agreements authorize FPL to conduct load control operations by temporarily disconnecting power to the respective Electrical Distribution Buildings during emergency conditions, capacity shortages, or other system events, while WASD operates its backup generators. In return, WASD will receive an incentive credit of $9.75 per kilowatt on its electricity bills. The estimated annual savings are approximately $51,000 at the South District Wastewater Treatment Plant and approximately $68,000 at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant. WASD will install electrical configuration upgrades at the EDB-2 located at the South District Wastewater Treatment Plant at an estimated cost of $40,000. The EDB-2 at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant is currently under construction, and any necessary upgrades have already been incorporated into that project scope. The resolution was introduced on 8/14/2026, was forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation by the Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee on 9/10/2026, and is scheduled for the Board agenda on 10/6/2026.
