ISSUED: January 11 , 2023
ORDER GRANTING FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY' S
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO. 03035-2022, X-REF. 02711-2022)
On May 19, 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 certain information provided pursuant to
Audit No. 2022-003-1-2 (Document No. 03035-2022, x-ref. 02711-2022).
Request for Confidential Classification
FPL contends that the information provided pursuant to Audit No. 2022-003-1-2 contains
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 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 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)(e), 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(d), F. S.
Ruling
Section 366.093(1), F.S., provides that records the Commission ha s found to contain
proprietary business information shall be kept confidential and sha ll 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 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 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. 03035-2022, x-ref. 02711-2022, 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 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 Mike La Rosa, Prehearing Officer, that Florida Power & Light
Company’s Request for Confidential Classification of Document No. 03035-2022, x-ref. 02711-
2022, is granted. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 03035-2022, x-ref. 02711-2022, 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.
