REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO. 05046-2022)
On July 27, 2022, 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 2023 	Risk Management 	Plan
contained in Exhibit (GJY-2) attached to FPL's 2022 actual/estimated true-up petition in Docket
No. 20220001-EI (Document No. 05046-2022).
Request for Confidential Classification
FPL contends that the information contained in Exhibit (GJY-2), more specifically
described in Exhibit C to its Request, constitute 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 a nd is treated by FPL as private and has not been publicly
disclosed.
The information contained in Exhibit (GJY-2) consists of details of FPL's strategy and
plans for purchases of natural gas in 2023 and beyond, and other fuel purchase contractual data.
FPL argues that this information is protected by Sections 366.093(3)(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 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:
(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 details of FPL’s strategy and plans for purchases of natural gas in
2023 and beyond, and other fuel purchase contractual data appear 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. 05046-
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. 	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 hereby
ORDERED by Commissioner Mike La Rosa, as Prehearing Officer, that Florida Power &
Light Company’s Request for Confidential Classification of Document No. 05046-2022, is
granted, as set forth herein. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 05046-2022, 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.
