Issue 1. Should the Joint Motion For Approval of Settlement Agreement between FPL and OPC be approved? Recommendation: Yes. (Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx) Staff Analysis: FPL’s St. Lucie Nuclear Station is located on Xxxxxxxxxx Island, near Fort Xxxxxx, Florida. The station features two baseload generating units, Unit 1 and Unit 2, with Net Summer Capacity ratings of 981 and 987 megawatts, respectively. Generally, when an outage event occurs, other resources in the fleet of generating plants are dispatched to make up for the load not being supplied by the off-line unit. Based upon the duration of an outage and the capacity reduction attributable to the outage, replacement power costs for an out-of-service unit can be calculated. The Commission has historically allowed for cost recovery of replacement power costs, unless it is determined that the outage resulted from an imprudent action by the utility. As noted previously, the Joint Petition is a comprehensive settlement that resolves open issues in the Fuel Clause related to outage events that occurred at St. Lucie Unit 2 in 2014 and 2015, as described below. March 2014 Outage (Issue 3J, previously identified as Issue 2N) In March 2014, St. Lucie Unit 2 entered a planned outage for refueling and for other maintenance activities. During the start-up for bringing the unit back into service, FPL discovered foreign material in one of the unit’s steam generators, necessitating an 18 day extension of the outage.2 OPC proposed Issue 2N in the 2014 Fuel Clause proceeding to address the cost recovery of the replacement power due to the extension of the planned outage at St. Lucie Unit 2. By Order No. PSC-14-0439-PCO-EI,3 the Commission deferred consideration of Issue 2N to the 2015 Fuel Clause, when the final true up of 2014 fuel costs would be addressed. In the 2015 Fuel Clause proceeding, a revised list of issues meant that Issue 2N from the 2014 Fuel Clause proceeding was then identified as Issue 3J. FPL stated that it was in negotiations with its vendor regarding the March 2014 outage at St. Lucie Unit 2, but those negotiations would not be concluded in time to be presented at the 2015 Fuel Clause hearing. Therefore, by Order No. PSC-15-0586-FOF-EI,4 the Commission again deferred considering the cost recovery of the replacement power due to the extension of the planned outage at St. Lucie Unit 2. February 2015 Outage (Part 1 of Issue 3O) An unplanned outage occurred at St. Lucie Unit 2 in February 2015 that lasted ...
