ORDER GRANTING DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA, LLC’S
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION
(DOCUMENT NO, 04977-2026
On August 	4, 2026, Duke Energy 	Florida, LLC (DEF) 	filed a Request 	for Confidential
Classification, pursuant 	to Section 366.093, Florida Statutes 	(F.S.), and Rule 25-22.006, Florida
Administrative Code 	(F.A.C.), 	of information provided 	in 	its 	third 	supplemental 	response 	to
Florida 	Rising, 	Inc.’s 	First Request 	for Production 	of Documents 	(Nos. 	1-7) (Document No.
04977-2026). This request was filed in Docket No. 20260064- EL
Request for Confidential Classification
DEF contends 	that 	the 	information contained 	in Document No. 04977-2026 	constitutes
proprietary and confidential business information 	entitled 	to protection under Section 366.093,
F.S., and Rule 	25-22.006, 	F.A.C. DEF 	asserts 	that 	the 	information 	at 	issue would impair 	its
competitive business 	interests which could be used by competitors 	to gain 	confidential, 	internal
information. More 	specifically, 	the 	information 	for which 	confidentiality 	is 	sought 	contains
contractual 	information 	for 	a 	potential 	large 	load 	customer. 	For 	this 	reason, DEF 	argues 	the
information 	is entitled to confidential classification pursuant to Section 366.093(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:
(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 in Document No. 04977-2026
satisfies 	the 	criteria 	set 	forth 	in 	Section 	366.093(3), 	F.S., 	for 	classification 	as 	proprietary
confidential business 	information. 	Document No. 04977-2026 	contains information 	related 	to
DEF’s contract details with a potential large load customer which constitutes information related

to its competitive interests which could impair its competitive business. Thus, the information
identified in Document No. 04977-2026 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 Gary F. Clark, as Prehearing Officer, that Duke Energy Florida, LLC’s
Request for Confidential Classification of Document No. 04977-2026 is granted. It is further
ORDERED that the information in Document No. 04977-2026, 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. 	At the conclusion of the 18-month period, the
confidential information will no longer be exempt from Section 119.07(1), F.S., unless Duke
Energy Florida, LLC or another affected person shows, and the Commission finds, that the
records continue to contain proprietary confidential business information. 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.
By ORDER of Commissioner Gary F. Clark, as Prehearing Officer, this 3rd day of
