b. Describe Company efforts to track the reliability of distribution substations.
Progress Energy Florida has an in-house database, Transmission Outage Management
System (TOMS), which is used to keep track and record all the events that occur every day.
It maintains all the indices mentioned above updated.
c. Describe the process used by your Company to identify and select the actions to
promote substation reliability.
To identify and promote substation reliability, PEF uses different methods, such as monthly

numerous diagnostics tests. Once a problem is identified, another tool (Cascade) is used to
track the efforts to correct it.
d. Provide the number of distribution substations inspected during normal operations
(non-storm related) for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

basis since 2004 to present. These routine inspections are scheduled and performed
monthly.
