ORDER GRANTING DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA. LLC’S THIRD
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF CONFIDENTIAL
CLASSIFICATION (DOCUMENT NO, 10958-2019)
On February 27, 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 a Third
Request 	for Extension of Confidential 	Classification 	(Request) of portions of 	its responses 	to
Staffs Third Set of Interrogatories Nos. 	19 and 20 (Document No. 	10958-2019). 	This material
was 	originally granted 	confidentiality by Order No. PSC-2019-0533-CFO-EI, 	issued December
19, 2019. 	DEF’s 	First Request for Extension of Confidential Classification for this material was
granted by Order No. PSC-2022-0241-CFO-EI, issued June 	27, 2022. 	DEF’s Second Request
for Extension of Confidential 	Classification 	for 	this 	material was 	granted by Order No. PSC-
2024-03 89-CFO-EI, issued September 3, 2024.
Request for Confidential Classification
DEF 	states 	that nothing has changed 	since 	the issuance of Order No. PSC-2022-0241-
CFO-EI DEF 	in 	June 	2022. 	DEF 	contends 	that 	the 	information 	contained 	in 	portions of 	its
responses 	to Staffs Third Set of Interrogatories Nos. 	19 and 20, more 	specifically described 	in
Exhibit C 	to 	its Requests, 	continues 	to 	constitute proprietary confidential business information
entitled 	to protection under Section 366.093, 	F.S., and Rule 25-22.006, F.A.C. DEF 	asserts that
this 	information 	is intended 	to be and 	is 	treated by DEF 	as 	private and has not been publicly
disclosed.
The 	information 	contained 	in 	portions 	of 	its 	responses 	to 	Staffs 	Third 	Set 	of
Interrogatories Nos. 	19 and 20 	consists of commercially 	sensitive infonnation concerning bids
for decommissioning 	activities related to 	the 	accelerated decommissioning of the Crystal River
Unit 3 (CR3) Nuclear Power Plant, including evaluation processes and 	criteria. DEF 	states that
sharing this type of information would make 	it difficult to negotiate contracts in the future on the
most favorable terms 	to 	the detriment of 	its 	ratepayers. 	For 	that reason, DEF 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 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:
(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 above-referenced information continues to satisfy the criteria
set forth in Section 366.093(3), F.S., for classification as proprietary confidential business
information. 	The 	information 	contained 	in 	DEF’s 	responses 	to 	Staff’s 	Third 	Set 	of
Interrogatories Nos. 19 and 20, if disclosed, could adversely impact DEF’s competitive interests
as well as the competitive interests of its vendors. Thus, the information identified in Document
No. 10958-2019, 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. 	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 Commissioner Mike La Rosa, as Prehearing Officer, that Duke Energy
Florida, LLC’s Third Request for Extension of Confidential Classification of Document No.
10958-2019, is granted, as set forth herein. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 10958-2019, 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.
