ORDER GRANTING DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA. LLC’S THIRD
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO, 03314-2020, X-REF. 03792-2020)
On February 27, 2026, pursuant to Section 366.093, Florida Statutes 	(F.S.), and Rule 25-
22.006, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), Duke Energy Florida, LLC (DEF) 	filed 	its Third
Request 	for 	Extension 	of 	Confidential 	Classification 	(Request) 	of 	documents 	provided 	in
connection with Terry Hobbs’ 	deposition on June 	25, 	2020, by 	the 	Office of Public Counsel
(Document 	No. 	03314-2020, 	x-ref. 	03792-2020). 	This 	material 	was 	originally 	granted
confidential 	classification by Order No. PSC-2020-0355, issued October 	9, 2020. 	DEF’s 	First
Request for Extension of Confidential Classification of these materials was granted by Order No.
PSC-2022-023 5-CFO-EI, 	issued 	June 	27, 	2022. 	DEF’s 	Second 	Request 	for 	Extension 	of
Confidential 	Classification of these 	materials was 	granted by 	Order No. PSC-0395-CFO-EI,
issued September 	3, 2024.
Request for Confidential Classification
DEF contends 	that the information contained 	in documents provided 	in connection with
Terry Hobbs’ 	deposition on 	June 	25, 	2020, more 	specifically 	described 	in 	Exhibit C 	to 	its
Request, 	continues 	to 	constitute 	proprietary 	confidential 	business 	information 	entitled 	to
protection 	under 	Section 	366.093, 	F.S., and 	Rule 	25-22.006, 	F.A.C. 	DEF 	asserts 	that 	this
information 	is 	intended 	to be and 	is 	treated by DEF 	as 	private 	and 	has 	not been 	publicly
disclosed.
The 	information 	contained 	in 	documents 	provided 	in 	connection 	with 	Terry Hobbs’
deposition on June 25, 2020, 	consists 	of: a Report to the Transaction and Risk Committee dated
March 	19, 2019; a PowerPoint presentation 	entitled Accelerated D&D 	Feasibility dated March
19, 	2019; 	Scrub Team Review 	Question and Answer 	Log; 	Scrub Team 	Transaction Review
dated March 	19, 	2019; 	and an 	Excel 	spreadsheet 	containing Nuclear Decommissioning 	Trust
actual and projected balances 	for 	the period 2016-2038. DEF 	states 	that 	this 	material 	is both
proprietary 	to 	DEF 	and 	is 	subject 	to 	non-disclosure 	agreements 	with 	Accelerated
Decommissioning Partners and 	its 	affiliates. 	Disclosure of this information would severely limit
DEF’s 	ability 	to secure 	services 	in the future 	at the lowest possible price. 	For that reason, DEF
argues that this information 	is protected by Sections 366.093(3 )(d) and (e), F.S.

Ruling
Section 366.093(1), F.S., provides that records the Florida Public Service Commission
(Commission) has found to contain proprietary business information shall be kept confidential
and shall be exempt from Chapter 119, F.S. 	Section 366.093(3), F.S., defines proprietary
confidential business information as information that is intended to be and is treated by the
company as private, in that disclosure of the information would cause harm to the company’s
ratepayers or business operations, and has not been voluntarily disclosed to the public. 	Section
366.093(3), F.S., provides that proprietary confidential business information includes, but is not
limited to:
(d) Information concerning bids or other contractual data, the disclosure of which
would impair the efforts of the public utility or its affiliates to contract for goods
or services on favorable terms.
(e) 	Information relating to competitive interests, the disclosure of which would
impair the competitive business of the provider of the information.
Upon review, it appears the above-referenced information continues to satisfy the criteria
set forth in Section 366.093(3), F.S., for classification as proprietary confidential business
information. 	The information contained in the materials provided in response to Terry Hobbs’
June 25, 2020 deposition, if disclosed, could adversely impact DEF’s competitive interests as
well as the competitive interests of Accelerated Decommissioning Partners and its parent and
affiliate companies. 	Thus, the information identified in Document No. 03314-2020, x-ref.
03792-2020, shall be granted confidential classification.
Pursuant to Section 366.093(4), F.S., the information for which confidential classification
is granted herein shall remain protected from disclosure for a period of 18 months from the date
of issuance of this Order. At the conclusion of the 18-month period, the confidential information
will no longer be exempt from Section 119.07(1), F.S., unless DEF or another affected person
shows, and the Commission finds, that the records continue to contain proprietary confidential
business information.
Based on the foregoing, it is hereby
ORDERED by Commissioner Mike La Rosa, as Prehearing Officer, that Duke Energy
Florida, LLC’s Third Request for Extension of Confidential Classification of Document No.
03314-2020, x-ref. 03792-2020, is granted, as set forth herein. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 03314-2020, x-ref. 03792-2020, for
which confidential classification has been granted, shall remain protected from disclosure for a
period of 18 months from the date of issuance of this Order. It is further
ORDERED that this Order shall be the only notification by the Commission to the parties
of the date of declassification of the materials discussed herein.
