June 18, 2015
In accordance with the guidelines presented in FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) Order No.
890, Appendix 1 to Attachment K, FPL will hold its annual initial kickoff meeting.
Below is the Agenda for the 2015 FPL - Local Transmission Network Planning Process Kick-off meeting.
Also attached, is the schedule and criteria to be used for the study process.
We will need specific names for those that plan to attend this meeting so I can advise FPL Security to allow
for entry to the LFO Building and meeting room.
Please provide a list of attendees no later than Friday July 10th, 2015. Should a face-to-face meeting
create scheduling difficulties, a conference call Bridge line is available.
Kindly reply with your preference of either a face-to-face or conference call.
The meeting will be held at FPL's Miami LFO Building (4200W Flagler ST, Miami FL, 33134, Conference
Room 34360) on Thursday July 16th, 2015 from 10:00am - 2:00pm.
PROPOSED AGENDA
 Kickoff Introduction
 Discuss Status of Data Submission Requirements and Updates
 Load Forecasts
 Transmission Delivery Points
 Network Resource Forecast
 Discuss Current Projects by Area that relate to Transmission Customers
 Show FRCC state map by area (e.g. West, Central, North)
 Present projects in electrical one-line form
 Geographic map of project area
 Transmission Customer Input / Plans by Area - Open Dialogue (e.g. Seminole, FMPA , Others)
 Discuss Study and Analysis
 Discuss Schedule, Applicable Standards, Criteria, Rules, Tools, Methods and Customer /
Stakeholder Participation
 Finalize Study Process
 Software Programs to be Utilized
 Kick-off Process Wrap-up
Please forward this meeting request to other interested parties.
We look forward to your feedback.
Thank you!

LOCAL TRANSMISSION NETWORK PLANNING PROCESS
STUDY SCHEDULE AND CRITERIA
SCHEDULE: The following schedule is based on the FRCC Databank Transmission Planning Model
Development process completed on June 11th, 2015. These schedule dates are approximate and may
change based on adjustments to the schedule as warranted.
7/16
Local Transmission Network Planning Process Kick-off Meeting
7/20 – 7/27
Case Development – FRCC FY 2015 DB Rev 2b cases with any changes to study cases
determined in the Kick-off Meeting.
7/28 – 8/28
Perform System Analysis
8/31 – 9/25
Assessments and Problem Identification, Mitigation / Alternative Development
9/28 – 11/2
Selection of the Preferred Transmission Plan
CRITERIA: Applicable NERC Reliability Standards: FAC-010-1, TPL-001 through TPL-004 with
primary emphasis on TPL-002 System Performance following Loss of a Single BES Element. (Which for
the FRCC also includes 69 kV facilities.)
Applicable FRCC Reliability Standards: FRCC has adopted the NERC Reliability Standards.
Applicable FPL Criteria:
TRANSMISSION PLANNING RELIABILITY CRITERIA
FPL has adopted transmission planning criteria that are consistent with the planning criteria
established by the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC). The FRCC has adopted
transmission planning criteria that are consistent with the Reliability Standards established by
the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC). The NERC Reliability Standards are
available on the internet http://www.nerc.net/standardsreports/standardssummary.aspx
In addition, FPL has developed a Facility Connection Requirements (FCR) document as well as
a Facility Rating Methodology document that are available on the internet under the FPL
OATT Documents directory located at: : https://www.oatioasis.com/FPL/index.html
With respect to thermal ratings for specific transmission lines or transformers, they are found in
the load flow cases that are provided by the FRCC as part of this filing. Generally, FPL limits
its transmission facilities to 100% of the applicable thermal rating. In regards to the normal
and contingency voltage criteria for FPL stations, it is provided below:
Normal/Contingency
Voltage Level (kV)
Vmin (p.u.)
Vmax (p.u.)
69, 115, 138
0.95/0.95
1.05/1.07
230
0.95/0.95
1.06/1.07
500
0.95/0.95
1.07/1.10
1.013/1.013
1.06/1.06
1.00/1.00
1.06/1.06
Turkey Point (*)
St. Lucie
(*)
(*) Voltage range criteria for FPL’s Nuclear Power Plants
There may be isolated cases for which FPL may have determined it is acceptable to deviate from
the general criteria stated above. There are several factors could influence this criteria, such as
the overall potential customers that may be impacted, the probability of an outage actually
occurring, or transmission system performance, as well as others.
The criteria referenced above are used for planning purposes and not for operating the
transmission system. Some operating parameters (switching actions) may be factored into the
planning process provided there is sufficient time for operator actions without jeopardizing the
safety and reliability of the transmission system.
