Florida Tech participates in a program offered by Florida Power and Light that provides electrical utility cost savings for us in excess of $200,000 per year. In exchange, Florida Tech agrees to allow FPL to disrupt electrical service on our main distribution loop during emergency periods where sufficient power cannot be generated to fulfill the demand in our area. If no "load-control" event occurs during the calendar year, the agreement filed with the Public Utilities Commission requires a test outage of one-hour duration be performed in November of that particular year.
We have been fortunate this year in not having been faced with an emergency load-control event, thus, we are required to allow a one-hour test outage. This outage is scheduled to occur Monday, November 11, 2013, beginning at 7:00 AM and ending at 8:00 AM. Only those buildings on the main electrical distribution loop will be affected.
