AI Summary
- Owners of commercial or industrial businesses, or their contracted third parties, may install, maintain, and operate renewable energy source devices on business properties and sell the generated electricity to adjacent commercial or industrial businesses, regardless of whether the device is in a utility's service territory
- Sales of electricity from these renewable energy devices are exempt from regulation as retail electricity sales under Florida law, and the energy-producing business is not subject to utility regulation
- Utilities may recover the full cost of providing backup generation capacity, transmission services, or other related services to energy-producing businesses; the Florida Public Service Commission may also approve utility cost recovery for fixed costs of capacity, generation, and distribution if renewable energy adoption significantly impacts rates for other customers
- Customers may challenge cost-recovery charges by petitioning the commission, and must be refunded any amounts determined to be excessive; cost-recovery approval requires a super majority vote of the commission
- Renewable energy rebates or incentives established by law belong solely to the owner of the renewable energy source device, not to the electricity customer, unless the customer owns the device
- Effective date: July 1, 2021
