ORDER SUSPENDING TARIFF
BY THE COMMISSION:
Background
On April 1, 2026, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) filed a petition for approval of revisions to its underground residential differential (URD) tariff, commercial differential tariff, and contribution-in-aid-of-construction (CIAC) tariffs. The differential tariffs represent the cost, if any, FPL incurs to provide underground service in place of overhead service. The petition was filed pursuant to Rule 25-6.078(3), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), which states, in part, "If the cost differential as calculated in Form PSC 1031 (8/20) varies from the Commission- approved differential by plus or minus 10 percent or more, the utility shall file a written policy and supporting data and analyses as prescribed in subsections (1), (4), and (5) of this rule on or before April 1 of the following year; however, each utility shall file a written policy and supporting data and analyses at least once every 3 years." The 10 percent threshold has not been met or exceeded since FPL's last URD tariff filing was approved in Order No. PSC-2023-0253- TRF-EI.1 However, since it has been 3 years since FPL last updated its URD tariff, FPL has filed updated URD tariff sheets in the subject docket.
In its petition, FPL is seeking approval to update the cost differential for residential and commercial underground service and their respective associated tariffs. Additionally, FPL is requesting approval of revisions to its CIAC tariffs. Specifically, FPL is seeking approval of clarifications to its CIAC tariff provisions to provide better clarity to customers requesting new or upgraded services and to update the deposit required to prepare a binding cost estimate for

underground service. We have jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Sections 366.03, 366.04, 366.05, and 366.06, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
Decision
The proposed tariffs shall be suspended to allow Commission staff sufficient time to review the petition and gather all pertinent information in order to present us with an informed recommendation on the tariff proposals. Pursuant to Section 366.06(3), F.S., we may withhold consent to the operation of all or any portion of a new rate schedule, delivering to the utility requesting such a change a reason or written statement of good cause for doing so within 60 days. We find that the reason stated above is a good cause consistent with the requirement of Section 366.06(3), F.S.
Based on the foregoing, it is
ORDERED by the Florida Public Service Commission that Florida Power & Light Company's proposed modifications to the underground residential and underground commercial differential tariffs are suspended to allow Commission staff sufficient time to review the petition and gather all pertinent information in order to present us with an informed recommendation on the tariff proposal.

ORDERED that this docket shall remain open pending our decision on the proposed tariff.
