ORDER GRANTING FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY’S
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO. 04829-2026)
On 	July 	31, 	2026, 	pursuant 	to 	Section 	366.093, 	Florida 	Statutes 	(F.S.), and Rule 	25-
22.006, Florida Administrative Code 	(F.A.C.), 	Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) 	filed a
Request for Confidential Classification (Request) of FPL’ s April, May and June Forms 423- 1(a)
and Plant Scherer April and May Forms 423-2, 423-2(a) and 423-2(b) (Document No. 04829-
2026).
Request for Confidential Classification
FPL contends 	that the information contained in FPL’s April, May and June Forms 423-
1(a) and Plant Scherer April and May Forms 423-2, 423-2(a) and 423-2(b), as more 	specifically
described 	in 	the 	tables 	in 	Attachment C 	to 	its 	Request, 	constitutes 	proprietary 	confidential
business 	information 	entitled 	to 	protection under 	Section 	366.093, 	F.S., and Rule 	25-22.006,
F.A.C. 	FPL asserts 	that 	this information 	is intended 	to be and 	is treated by FPL as private and
has not been publicly disclosed.
FPL’s justification 	for 	asserting 	that 	the 	information 	is 	confidential 	is found 	in more
detail 	in Attachment C 	to 	its 	Request. 	FPL 	contends 	that 	part of the 	information 	involves
contractual information which, 	if made public, “would impair 	the 	efforts of FPL to contract 	for
goods 	or services on favorable terms” pursuant 	to Section 366.093(3)(d), 	F.S. FPL asserts 	that
some of the 	information 	delineates 	the 	price per 	barrel FPL has paid 	for 	luel 	oil 	for 	specific
shipments from 	specific 	suppliers and that the information would allow suppliers to compare an
individual 	supplier’s price with the market quote 	for that date of delivery and thereby determine
the 	contract 	pricing formula between FPL and 	that 	supplier. 	The 	availability of this 	type of
information would likely eliminate the opportunity for FPL to obtain price concessions from any
one supplier resulting in higher fuel 	oil prices.
FPL 	further 	states 	that FPL 	is 	obligated 	to 	maintain 	the 	confidentiality 	of 	rail
transportation charges between FPL and various counterparties. FPL argues that this information
is 	confidential 	under 	Sections 	366.093(3)(d) and 	366.093(3)(e), 	F.S., 	because 	its 	disclosure
would negatively impact 	the 	competitive 	interests of both FPL and 	its 	various 	counterparties.
Disclosure of the transportation charges could also discourage counterparties from entering into
contracts with FPL, or charge higher prices, 	if the pricing terms are made public.

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 information and data provided in this request satisfies the
criteria set forth in Section 366.093(3), F.S., for classification as proprietary confidential
business information. The information related to fuel oil pricing appears to be “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” and
“information relating to competitive interests, the disclosure of which would impair the
competitive business of the provider of the information.” Thus, the information identified in
Document No. 04829-2026 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 up to 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 FPL 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
ORDERED by Commissioner Gary F. Clark, as Prehearing Officer, that Florida Power &
Light Company’s Request for Confidential Classification of Document No. 04829-2026 is
granted, as set forth herein. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 04829-2026 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
