Simple – a Tampa Electric technician will install a compact radio alert box at a convenient location you designate in your facility. This trouble-free setup is all you need to get started. Then, when we need to request a load transfer, we’ll let you know by sending you a radio signal. Your operator can then switch the load to your standby generator. If you start your load transfer activity within our 30-minute grace period, you can even earn additional credit.
We’ll alert you when it’s time to switch your load back to Tampa Electric’s service.
By participating in the Standby Generator program, your monthly credit will be $3.50 per average transferred kilowatt (kW) demand. Since your load varies, your credit will also vary.
You’ll receive a credit each month, even if we don’t ask you to transfer load – so you benefit just by signing up. To qualify, your transferable load must be a minimum of 25 kW with a minimum of 50 percent load factor during Tampa Electric’s designated peak energy use periods. Load factor is the percentage that tells the difference between the amount of electricity actually used and the amount that would have been used at highest demand.
You must be a commercial/industrial customer on a firm general service rate schedule and have an on-site generator to be eligible. For more information, call 813-275-3021. Start making a difference today.
