ISSUED: July 25, 2024
ORDER GRANTING FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY' S
FIRST REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO. 07653-2024, X-REF. 02713-2022)
On July 11, 2024, 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 its
First Request for Extension of Confidential Classification (Request) of certain information
provided pursuant to Audit No. 2022-003-1-1 (Document No. 07653-2024, x-ref. 02713-2022).
Document No. 02713-2022, Audit No. 2022-003-1-1, was originally filed on May 19, 2022.
Document No. 02713-2022 was originally granted confidentiality by Order No. PSC-2023-0035-
CFO-EI, issued January 11, 2023.
Request for Confidential Classification
FPL contends 	that 	the 	information provided 	pursuant 	to 	Audit No. 	2022-003-1-1
continues to contain information of a confidential nature, which is proprietary confidential
business information within the meaning of Section 366.093(3), Florida Statutes.
FPL contends that the information continues to be 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 FPL 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. FPL contends that this contract information is protected by Section 366.093(3)(d),
F .S. 	FPL further contends that the disclosure of this data would impair FPL' 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 FPL and its counterparties. 	Thus, FPL contends that this
material is protected by Section 366.093(3)(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 di sclosure 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-2024-0266-CFO-EI
DOCKET NO. 20240001-EI
PAGE 2
(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. 	07653-2024, 	x-ref. 	02713-2022, 	shall 	be 	granted 	extended
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. 	Currently, the Commission retains audit reports for a period of
seven years at which time the audit materials are returned to FPL unless Commission staff or
another affected person requests that the audit materials continue to be retained. 	The nature of
these materials will not change in the next 36 months. 	Therefore, granting an additional 36
month confidentiality extension will promote administrative efficiency. At the conclusion of the
36 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 hereby
ORDERED by Gabriella Passidomo, Prehearing Officer, that Florida Power & Light
Company’s First Request for Extension of Confidential Classification of Document No. 07653-
2024, x-ref. 02713-2022, is granted. 	It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 07653-2024, x-ref. 02713-2022, 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.
