A 1986 BI No. 897 budgeted $15 million to purchase: 12,000
load control transponders; 1,050 metering transponders; and 500
surface mount load survey transponders, communication equipment
for substations, test equipment, and computer hardware and

and was to be completed in 1988. It further states that a load
management communications system is necessary to meet the demand
and energy goals of the FPSC and FPL’s energy management plan.
This budget item permitted FPL to implement phase I of the LMS:
Initially, the Load Management System will be sized for
10,000 load control points and 1,000 TOU [Time-of-Use]
meter points, and 500 load survey points. After Phase
I is thoroughly tested and results are satisfactory,
the system will be expanded to support 388,000 load
control points and 220,000 TOU Rate customers by 1994.
BI No. 897 was revised in 1989 to increase the amount budgeted
for phase I to $20 million. The budget item states:
Phase II of the program is covered under Budget item
868 which calls for the System to be expanded to
support 250,000 load control points by 1993.

Phase I - $ 20,000
Phase II - 90,000

Phases - 95,000
