Florida Power Landscape
The Grid We Engineer For in Florida
Every power system study TPS delivers in Florida accounts for the utilities, fault duties, and interconnection requirements specific to the state. This is the landscape our Florida work sits in.
Florida is not part of a centralized RTO or ISO. The state operates as a set of utility balancing areas within the SERC reliability region, served primarily by Florida Power & Light, Duke Energy Florida, Tampa Electric, JEA, and Orlando Utilities Commission. The available fault current at a facility service is set by the serving utility, and it shifts when the utility upgrades transformers or feeders, which is why short-circuit and arc flash studies should be revisited after utility-side work.
Florida has no OSHA-approved state plan, so employers in the state answer to federal OSHA. Federal OSHA enforces electrical safety through 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, which treats NFPA 70E as the consensus standard for arc flash risk assessment and equipment labeling. A current, PE-sealed arc flash study is the documentation a federal OSHA inspector or an insurance auditor expects to see.
The authority having jurisdiction for the installation itself is typically the local building official enforcing the Florida Building Code, which incorporates the National Electrical Code. Every study True Power Systems delivers in the state is modeled to current IEEE and NFPA methodology and sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Florida.

Florida FAQ
Florida Power System Study Questions
Who enforces arc flash compliance for Florida facilities?
Florida has no state OSHA plan, so all employers in the state answer to federal OSHA. Federal OSHA enforces electrical safety through 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S, which references NFPA 70E for arc flash risk assessment and equipment labeling.
Does my Florida facility need an arc flash study?
If workers ever interact with energized equipment, such as troubleshooting, racking breakers, or voltage testing, NFPA 70E calls for an arc flash risk assessment and OSHA expects equipment to carry incident-energy labels. New equipment, a service upgrade, or a change in utility fault current all trigger a new or updated study.
How does Florida's grid affect my power system study?
Florida is not in a centralized RTO; it operates as utility balancing areas within the SERC reliability region, served mainly by FPL, Duke Energy Florida, Tampa Electric, JEA, and OUC. The fault current available at your service comes from the serving utility and changes when it upgrades equipment, so short-circuit and arc flash results should be re-checked after utility-side work.
Who can seal a power system study in Florida?
A power system study used for compliance must be sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Florida. True Power Systems holds an active Florida PE license and stamps every Florida deliverable.
What does a Florida power system study include?
A complete package covers incident-energy calculations and arc flash boundaries, ANSI Z535 equipment labels, short-circuit and equipment-duty evaluation, protective-device coordination, an as-studied one-line diagram, and a PE-sealed report.
