ISSUED: September 4, 2026
ORDER GRANTING DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA, LLC’S
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO. 04241-2026)
On 	July 	10, 	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 	its
Request for Confidential 	Classification (Request) of Staffs 	Fifth Set of Interrogatories No. 20a
(Document No. 04241-2026).
Request for Confidential Classification
DEF contends 	that 	the information contained 	in Staffs 	Fifth 	Set of Interrogatories No.
20a, 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. 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 	Staffs 	Fifth 	Set 	of 	Interrogatories No. 	20a 	consists of
internal 	processes 	and 	procedures, 	evaluations, 	and 	information 	regarding 	the 	maintenance
history for Bartow Combined Cycle Unit 4B’s transmission protective relay. DEF contends that
the disclosure of this information would impair 	its 	efforts 	to negotiate the most favorable terms
possible in the future and negatively impact 	its competitive 	interests. 	Thus, 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 satisfies the criteria set forth in
Section 366.093(3), F.S., for classification as proprietary confidential business information. The
information contained in Staff’s Fifth Set of Interrogatories No. 20a, if disclosed, could
adversely impact DEF’s competitive interests and could also impair DEF’s ability to enter into
the most cost-effective contracts with its vendors in the future. Thus, the information identified
in Document No. 04241-2026 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 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 Gary F. Clark, as Prehearing Officer, that Duke Energy
Florida, LLC’s Request for Confidential Classification of Document No. 04241-2026, is granted,
as set forth herein. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 04241-2026, 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.
