Notify and Work With Tampa Electric

As soon as you arrive at the incident scene, confirm that your dispatcher has notified Tampa Electric. In incidents that involve grid-tied PV systems, Tampa Electric should be viewed as a key partner and consulted throughout the response. Even with off-grid PV systems, Tampa Electric should still be contacted. Tampa Electric personnel can verify the lack of connection to the grid, and they can offer valuable technical advice no matter what type of system is involved. Forging a unified command structure that takes advantage of Tampa Electric’s expertise will help to ensure the best possible outcome.
