Generator Siting On the
FPC Transmission System
FPC, doing business as Progress Energy Florida, Inc., is providing the following list of favorable generation location sites.
FPC has identified sites on the FPC Transmission System for the interconnection of new generation. Sites are based upon FPC's current knowledge of and experience with the FPC Transmission System.
Generation located at these sites appears to be less likely to cause severe system impacts and necessitate extensive transmission network upgrades. There may be other sites (which are not listed) that may offer similar capabilities. It must be emphasized that the full extent of the impact of a particular generation facility on the system and any needed transmission system improvements cannot be determined absent a specific study associated with the generation facility as provided for in FPC's Generator Interconnection Procedures, which can be found through the FPC and Interconnection Docs links on the FPC OASIS (http://floasis.seimens-asp.com). The ultimate disposition of transmission service associated with a generator also impacts needed transmission system improvements.
Persons interested in interconnecting generation should independently evaluate these sites as they would evaluate any potential generation site. To facilitate such studies, customers can obtain transmission cases upon request from the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council. Potential generators assume all risks should they decide to interconnect generation at one or more of these sites. Moreover, this list of sites reflects only a transmission perspective and does not consider other issues that may be relevant, such as fuel supply, water supply or environmental concerns.
FPC does not make, and expressly disclaims, any representation regarding the suitability of the sites for locating new generation. By posting this list of sites, FPC is not offering to purchase the output of any generation that may be constructed at such sites, nor does FPC warrant or otherwise guarantee the availability of transmission service from these sites.
It should be emphasized that interconnection and transmission service requests change frequently and can affect results at a particular site. Accordingly, reference should be made to the FPC OASIS (http://floasis.siemens-asp.com) for information relating to existing requests including generator interconnection requests at or near to a particular site.
