ORDER APPROVING GUARD COST RECOVERY FACTORS

BY THE COMMISSION:

BACKGROUND

On September 3, 2024, Florida Public Utilities Company (FPUC or Company) filed a
petition for approval of its Gas Utility Access and Replacement Directive (GUARD program)
cost recovery factors for January through December 2025. The petition includes the direct
testimony and Exhibits SKL-1 and SKL-2 of Stacey K. Laster providing the calculations of the
proposed factors and Second Revised Sheet No. 7.403.

In Order No. PSC-2023-0235-PAA-GU (GUARD Order), the Commission approved
FPUC’s 10-year GUARD program consisting of two components: (1) replacement of
problematic pipes and facilities and (2) relocation of mains and service lines located in rear
easement and other difficult to access areas to the front lot easements.! As established in the
GUARD Order, FPUC is able to recover the revenue requirements of expedited programs to
replace problematic pipes and facilities and to relocate certain facilities in rear easements and
other difficult to access areas in order to enhance the safety of portions of FPUC’s natural gas
distribution system through a monthly surcharge on customers’ bills. The GUARD Order further
established the methodology for annually setting the GUARD surcharge to recover the costs of
the program.

The methodology to calculate the GUARD program surcharges is the same that was
approved for FPUC’s concluded Gas Replacement and Infrastructure Program (GRIP).* The
GUARD cost recovery procedure requires an annual filing with three components, similar as
those approved in the 2012 GRIP Order:

' Order No. PSC-2023-0235-PAA-GU, issued August 15, 2023, amended by Order No. PSC-2023-0235A-PAA-GU,
issued August 18, 2023, in Docket No. 20230029-GU, In re: Petition for approval of gas utility access and
replacement directive, by Florida Public Utilities Company.

? Order No. PSC-2012-0490-TRF, issued September 24, 2021, in Docket No. 20120036-GU, Jn re: Joint petition for
approval of Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP) by Florida Public Utilities Company and the Florida
Division of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation.

ORDER NO. PSC-2024-0504-TRF-GU
DOCKET NO. 20240137-GU
PAGE 2
1. 	A final true-up showing the actual replacement costs, actual surcharge revenues, and
over- or under-recovery amount for the 12-month historical period from January 1
through December 31 of the year prior to FPUC’s annual GUARD petition.
2. 	An actual/estimated true-up showing seven months of actual and five months of projected
replacement costs, surcharge revenues, and over- or under-recovery amount.
3. 	A revenue requirement projection showing 12 months of projected GUARD revenue
requirement for the period beginning January 1 following FPUC’s annual GUARD
petition filing.
In the GUARD Order, we directed FPUC to file its annual GUARD program petition to
revise the surcharge on or before September 1 of each year, to implement the revised surcharge
effective January 1 through December 31 of the following year.
We further ordered FPUC to: (1) include all calculations to show a final true-up, actual-
estimated true-up, projected year investments, and associated revenue requirements, and the
calculations of the GUARD factors by rate class; (2) provide a report including the location,
date, description, and associated costs of all replacement projects completed and all projects
scheduled for the following year; and (3) include any remaining GRIP over- or under-recovery in
the 2024 GUARD cost recovery. FPUC has complied with the GUARD Order directives stated
above.
Included in this order are Attachment A - a list of GUARD projects for 2023-2025
Actual/Forecast; Attachment B - Second Revised Sheet No. 7.403 legislative version; and
Attachment C - Second Revised Sheet No. 7.403 clean version.
During the review process, a data request was issued to FPUC on September 23, 2024,
for which the responses were received on October 8, 2024. 	Order No. PSC-2024-0440-PCO-
GU, issued on October 14, 2024, suspended the proposed tariffs. We have jurisdiction over this
matter pursuant to Sections 366.04, 366.05, and 366.06, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
DECISION
The GUARD program is driven by risks identified under FPUC’s Distribution Integrity
Management Program (DIMP) and risk assessments performed by an independent contractor.3
As stated by witness Laster, the GUARD projects are based upon the assessment of an
independent contractor. Projects in high consequence areas and those of high risk continue to be
a priority. The prioritized projects for 2024 and 2025 are included in Attachment A to this order.
Attachment A indicates that FPUC currently has six projects in-progress which will relocate 30.7
miles of pipes from rear lots to the street front in Palm Beach and Seminole counties for an
estimated investment cost of $18.7M during the third and fourth quarters of 2024. An additional
five projects are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2024, for an estimated investment cost of
$3.9M which includes replacing 10.77 miles of obsolete/Aldyl-A, rear-to-front, shallow, span,
3 Pursuant to Chapter 49, Section 192.1005 Code of Federal Regulations (2023), a gas distribution operator must
develop and implement an integrity management program that includes a written integrity management plan.

ORDER NO. PSC-2024-0504-TRF-GU
DOCKET NO. 20240137-GU

and under building pipes, and replacing 176 services. 	For 2025, 18 projects are listed for an
estimated investment cost of $25M which include replacing obsolete/Aldyl-A pipes, span pipes,
and relocation of pipes from rear lot easements to the front lot easements for 36.19 miles and
2,203 services in Palm Beach, Seminole, and Volusia counties.
FPUC’s True-Ups by Year
FPUC’s calculation for the 2025 GUARD revenue requirement and surcharges includes a
final true-up for 2023, an actual/estimated true-up for 2024, and projected costs for 2025. In its
2022 rate case, FPUC was authorized to recover $19.8M of annual bare steel replacement
expenses in base rates.4 	Therefore, the $19.8M recovered from base rates is excluded from the
GUARD true-up calculations for 2022 and 2023.
Final 2023 GUARD True-Up
Company witness Laster states that the January through December 2023 true-up resulted
in an over-recovery of $571,835, inclusive of interest and remaining true-up of the concluded
GRIP. As shown in Schedule C-1 of the petition, the 2022 ending balance was an over-recovery
of $315,465. 	Combined with the 2023 over-recovery of $248,063, and monthly interest of
$8,307 associated with any over- and under-recoveries results in a final 2023 over-recovery of
$571,835.
Actual/Estimated 2024 GUARD True-Up
The January through December 2023 GUARD investment and associated revenue
requirement amounts are shown on Exhibit SKL-1, page 2 of 6. 	In 2023, the actual beginning
balance was an over-recovery of $571,835. The 2024 actual (January through July) and
forecasted (August through December) GUARD true-up is an under-recovery of $1,257,430
(inclusive of interest), resulting in an under-recovery of $685,595. As shown in Table 1 below,
the under-recovery is being applied to the 2025 GUARD revenue requirement, resulting in a
higher revenue requirement to be recovered from customers in 2025.
Projected 2025 GUARD Revenue Requirement
For 2025, FPUC plans to invest $25,000,205 ($16,167,834 for mains and $8,832,371 for
services), resulting in a total projected 2025 investment of $75,739,119 (including the year-end
2024 investment). The GUARD program revenue requirement includes a return on investment,
depreciation expense, extending customer-owned fuel lines (to connect to meters which require
to be relocated due to safety issues), customer notification expense, and property taxes. 	All
expenses are dependent upon the level of investment costs. 	After adding the 2024 under-
recovery true-up amount of $685,595, the 2025 GUARD revenue requirement to be recovered
through the proposed surcharges is $7,013,251.

Proposed GUARD Surcharges
As approved in the GUARD Order, the total 2025 revenue requirement is allocated to the
rate classes using the same methodology used for the allocation of mains and services in the cost
of service study used in the Company’s most recent rate case. The respective percentages were
multiplied by the 2025 revenue requirements and divided by each rate class’s projected therm
sales to provide the GUARD surcharge for each rate class. 	This methodology was originally
established by the 2012 Order approving FPUC’s GRIP program.
In 2024, the monthly bill impact was $0.65 for a residential customer using 20 therms per
month or $7.80 per year. The proposed 2025 GUARD surcharge for FPUC’s residential
customers who use 20 therms a month (240 therms annually) on the Residential Service tariff
(RES-2) would pay $0.11116 per therm compared to the 2024 GUARD surcharge of $0.03263
per therm. The monthly bill impact for 2025 would be $2.22 for a residential customer using 20
therms per month or $26.64 per year. The proposed GUARD surcharges are shown in
Attachment B, in Second Revised Sheet No. 7.403.
For the reasons stated above, we hereby approve FPUC's 2025 GUARD cost recovery
factors and associated Second Revised Sheet No. 7.403, as stated on Attachment B to this order,
to be effective for the first billing cycle of January through the last billing cycle of December
2025. 	The GUARD surcharge will allow FPUC to replace problematic pipes and facilities and
relocate certain facilities located in rear easements to the front easements, and recover the project
costs on an expedited basis.
Based on the foregoing, it is
ORDERED by the Florida Public Service Commission that Florida Public Utilities
Company’s petition for approval of GUARD cost recovery factors is hereby approved. 	It is
further
ORDERED that Florida Public Utilities Company’s 2025 GUARD cost recovery factors
and associated Second Revised Sheet No. 7.403, included in Attachment B to this order, to be
effective for the first billing cycle of January through the last billing cycle of December 2025 is
hereby approved. It is further
