FPL Solar Together ProgramAnnounced Nov. 28
FPL Solar Together Program Proposed subscription cost: 6.76/kW (fixed—will notincrease) Subscribers receive credit of 0.0308/kWh (credit amounttherefore depends on energy produced); credit rate riseseach year No upfront cost, no contract Total program size uncertain, but likely 250-450 MW range
FPL Solar Together Program Board approved preregistration on 12/11/2018 Detailed analysis of agency billing county-wide Broward County finalized pre-register for 132 MW subscription Intended to offset 100% of County operations electricity consumption General Fund and Enterprise Agencies Port Everglades, FLL Airport, and Water and Wastewater ServicesCounty is unlikely to receive full subscription request at programonset
Fiscal Considerations Subscription cost in 100% scenario is approximately 362,000 Declines annually with “credit” and by year 5, County isearning money By year 7, County recovers initial higher expenditures andcumulative impact is positive
