ORDER GRANTING DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA. LLC’S SECOND
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO, 02867-2022 X-REF. 02531-2022 AND 02529-2022)
On January 	7, 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 Second
Request 	for Extension of Confidential 	Classification (Request) of certain information provided
pursuant 	to Audit Nos. 	2022-003-1-4 and 2022-003-1-5 (Document Nos. 	02867-2022, 	x-ref.
02531-2022 and 02529-2022). 	This material was 	originally 	granted 	confidentiality by Order
No. PSC-2023-0015-CFO-EI, 	issued January 	5, 	2023. 	DEF’s 	First Request 	for Extension of
Confidential 	Classification was granted by Order No. PSC-2024-0232-CFO-EI, 	issued on 	July
10, 2024.
Request for Confidential Classification
DEF 	contends 	that 	the 	information provided pursuant 	to Audit Nos. 2022-003-1-4 and
2022-003-1-5 	continues 	to 	contain 	information of a 	confidential 	nature, which 	is 	proprietary
confidential business information within the meaning of Section 366.093(3), Florida Statutes.
DEF contends 	that 	the information 	is proprietary and 	confidential business 	information
within the meaning of Section 366.093(3), F.S. 	This information 	is intended to be and 	is treated
by DEF as private, and 	its confidentiality has been maintained. 	Pricing and other terms, payment
records, and vendor and supplier rates, as well as information related to the purchase and sale of
energy and capacity, natural 	gas, and natural gas storage are included 	in 	this information. DEF
contends 	that the disclosure of this data would impair DEF’s 	efforts 	to contract for energy and
capacity-related 	goods 	and 	services 	on 	the 	most 	favorable 	terms 	and 	would 	impair 	the
competitive 	interests of both DEF and 	its counterparties. 	Thus, DEF contends 	that 	this material
is protected by Sections 366.093(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:

ORDER NO. PSC-2026-0180-CFO-EI

(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 continues to
satisfy the criteria set forth in Section 366.093(3), F.S., for classification as proprietary
confidential business information. The information related to pricing terms and payment records
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. 02867-2022, x-ref. 02531-2022 and 02529-2022, 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 unless good cause is shown that protection from disclosure shall be
for a specified longer period. 	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 Gary F. Clark, Prehearing Officer, that Duke Energy Florida, LLC’s
Second Request for Extension of Confidential Classification of Document Nos. 02867-2022, x-
ref. 02531-2022 and 02529-2022, is granted. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document Nos. 02867-2022, x-ref. 02531-2022 and
02529-2022 for which confidential classification has been granted, shall remain protected from
disclosure for a period of up to 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.
