Generating Capacity Emergency exists when: A. One or more utility cannot meet its obligation to serve firm load B. Controlled load interruption to maintain grid reliability and safety 4. System Load Restoration

9 Fuel Emergency Plans Utilities develop specific fuel interruption plans FPSC approves initial plan and any subsequent revisions Plans address options such as off system purchases, fuel sharing, and priorities for customer interruptions
