Weoffer an all-encompassing power packaging approach for every project. This includes value-added services, design coordination, materials procurement, and project management. We coordinate engineering, services and materials. This enables us to deliver the most efficient and cost-effective solution for each power project. We guarantee the form, fit and function of the project.

Our expert team specializes in underground medium and high-voltage material packaging. We provide customized sizing, kitting, and packaging services for complex projects, specialized needs, and essential distribution components. These components include overhead line products, heat trace cable systems, and fiber optic construction materials.

Primoris T&D provides construction, maintenance, and engineering of electric Transmission, Distribution, and Substation infrastructure. Ancillary services include wireless telecommunication installation, environmental cleanup, project management, and storm restoration services.

Primoris T&D Gulf Division in FL was awarded numerous projects located throughout their operating footprint in the Panhandle and Central FL areas. The projects were defined as Storm Protection Plan (SPP) hardening work which was designed to strengthen the FL electrical distribution grid to withstand extreme weather conditions and enhance overall reliability. The scope of work was a combination of overhead, underground, and feeder hardening work. Each section of the SPP projects was broken out into smaller, more manageable areas by substation and area for a total of 10 projects. The total mileage of feeder hardening work was over 33 miles, including over 1,700 distribution poles, associated hardware, conductor, switches, and transformers that were upgraded to new hardening standards.

Primoris T&D Services worked with Dominion Energy to upgrade its electrical network through an awarded contract to install more than 120 miles of distribution lines to supply electricity to homes and businesses. The new electrical facilities were installed underground. The decision to put the lines underground was made to provide more reliability and reduce the frequency of outages.

The transmission network is like the motorways, carrying vehicles (electricity) at high speed (high voltage) across the country. This is the network of big pylons and overhead lines you see around the country.

The distribution networks are the local roads, connecting motorways with communities to help vehicles complete their journey. These are the smaller pylons (and underground cables) carrying lower voltage lines.

The 3-day event focused on key transmission and distribution sector topics, including hub price development, balancing regimes, capacity allocation mechanisms, grid expansion and gas storage, as well as the opening of the distribution sector and maintaining regulatory quality in an expanding gas market.

It also featured a special panel on inclusive growth of the energy sector, with presentations from Ms Maria Junco (Analysis and Development Manager, ENAGAS, as a representative of the Spanish Association for Women in Energy AEMENER), as well as representatives from UN Women and Accenture.

A. All distributors shall have the obligation to connect any retail customer, including those using distributed generation, located within its service territory to those facilities of the distributor that are used for delivery of retail electric energy, subject to Commission rules and regulations and approved tariff provisions relating to connection of service.

B. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, every distributor shall provide distribution service within its service territory on a basis which is just, reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory to suppliers of electric energy, including distributed generation, as the Commission may determine. The distribution services provided to each supplier of electric energy shall be comparable in quality to those provided by the distribution utility to itself or to any affiliate.

C. The Commission shall establish interconnection standards to ensure transmission and distribution safety and reliability, which standards shall not be inconsistent with nationally recognized standards acceptable to the Commission. In adopting standards pursuant to this subsection, the Commission shall seek to prevent barriers to new technology and shall not make compliance unduly burdensome and expensive. The Commission shall determine questions about the ability of specific equipment to meet interconnection standards.

D. The Commission shall consider developing expedited permitting processes for small generation facilities of fifty megawatts or less. The Commission shall also consider developing a standardized permitting process and interconnection arrangements for those power systems less than 500 kilowatts which have demonstrated approval from a nationally recognized testing laboratory acceptable to the Commission.

E. Upon the separation and deregulation of the generation function and services of incumbent electric utilities, the Commission shall retain jurisdiction over utilities' electric transmission function and services, to the extent not preempted by federal law. Nothing in this section shall impair the Commission's authority under 56-46.1, 56-46.2, and 56-265.2 with respect to the construction of electric transmission facilities.

ScottMadden partners with you to effectively plan, build, and operate the transmission and distribution grid that will enable the clean energy future. We help you create the plan, gain regulatory approval, and implement critical initiatives to meet the goals of stakeholders, customers, and regulators.

Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) is a program that allows cities, counties and other qualifying governmental entities available within the service areas of investor-owned utilities (IOUs), to purchase and/or generate electricity for their residents and businesses. It is not an IOU program. The IOU continues to deliver the electricity through its transmission and distribution system and provide meter reading, billing, and maintenance services for CCA customers.

Community choice aggregators (CCAs) procure electricity on behalf of retail electricity customers within some geographic areas. CCAs may be run directly by a city or county government or by a joint powers authority made up of two or more participating cities/counties.

Customers who receive their electric supply from a CCA receive a consolidated bill issued by the IOU that includes charges from both parties. The IOU collects payments on behalf of the CCA, which are then sent to the CCA.

Under a CCA program, the IOU will continue to bill you for non-generation charges, which include electricity delivery (transmission and distribution) and other miscellaneous charges. Additionally, the IOU assesses a tiering of rates through its delivery charges for residential customers, known as the Conservation Incentive Adjustment. You will also be assessed a Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), which is a charge to cover the IOU's generation costs acquired prior to a customer's switch to a third-party electric generation provider. Your CCA provider will bill you separately for its electric generation charges, which are included in the monthly bill you receive from the IOU.

Once a city or county implements or joins a CCA program, state law requires that customers within a CCA's member jurisdiction be enrolled in CCA service unless they choose to opt out. In some instances, a CCA may choose to phase-in its program, bringing in different customers at different times.
