BY THE COMMISSION: BACKGROUND The 2019 Florida Legislature enacted Section 366.96, Florida Statutes (F.S.), entitled “Storm protection plan cost recovery.” Section 366.96(3), F.S., established a new requirement that each public utility file a transmission and distribution storm protection plan (SPP) covering the immediate 10-year planning period, and explaining the systematic approach the utility will follow to achieve the objectives of reducing restoration costs and outage times associated with extreme weather events and enhancing reliability. Pursuant to Sections 366.96(5) and 366.96(6), F.S., we are required every three years to determine whether it is in the public interest to approve, approve with modification, or deny each utility’s SPP.
ORDER NO. PSC-2026-0349-FOF-EI DOCKET NO. 20260010-EI PAGE 3 In addition to reviewing SPPs at least every three years, we must conduct an annual proceeding pursuant to Section 366.96(7), F.S., to determine a utility’s prudently incurred transmission and distribution storm protection plan costs and allow the utility to recover such costs through a charge separate and apart from its base rates, to be referred to as the storm protection plan cost recovery clause (SPPCRC). The annual SPPCRC proceeding is a rolling three-year review that includes a true-up of costs for the prior year, the calculation of actual/estimated costs for the year of the filing, and projected factors for the following year. If we determine that costs were prudently incurred, those costs will not be subject to disallowance or further prudence review except for fraud, perjury, or intentional withholding of key information by the public utility. This docket was opened by Order No. PSC-2026-0010-PCO-EI issued January 5, 2026, under the authority of Sections 366.96(5), 366.96(6), and 366.96(7), F.S. The purpose of this 2026 annual proceeding is for us to establish the amount of prudently incurred costs each utility shall be allowed to recover through the SPPCRC and the specific terms of that recovery. TECO, DEF, FIPUG, FPL, PCS Phosphate, Nucor, OPC, and FPUC each filed a Notice of Intent to Retain Party Status. Panama City was granted intervention by Order No. PSC-2026-0085-PCO- EI, issued April 10, 2026. We conducted an evidentiary hearing for this matter on September 15, 2026. FIPUG, Nucor, PCS Phosphate and Panama City were excused from the evidentiary hearing. DECISION FPL, TECO, FPUC, DEF, OPC, FIPUG, Nucor, PCS Phosphate, and Panama City have reached Type 2 stipulations1 for Issues 1A through 1D, Issues 10 and 11. OPC has agreed to Type 1 stipulations2 with FPL, DEF, TECO, and FPUC for OPC Issues A through D. Nucor, PCS Phosphate, and Panama City have agreed to Type 2 stipulations for OPC Issues A through D. At this time all issues have been stipulated to. At the evidentiary hearing Exhibit Nos. 1-47 on the Comprehensive Exhibit List were admitted into the record without objection. The prefiled testimony of all witnesses listed in Section VI of the Prehearing Order, Order No. PSC-2026-0305-PHO-EI, was entered into the record as though read. Upon review of the entire record, we accept and approve the Type 1 and Type 2 stipulations, as stated in Attachment A hereto, as reasonable and supported by competent, substantial evidence of record. 1 A Type 2 stipulation occurs on an issue when the utility and the staff, or the utility and at least one party adversarial to the utility, agree on the resolution of the issue and the remaining parties (including staff if they do not join in the agreement) do not object to the Commission relying on the agreed language to resolve that issue in a final order. The OPC’s, FIPUG’s, Nucor’s, PSC Phosphate’s and Panama City’s position on each Type 2 stipulation stated herein is as follows: The intervenors take no position on these issues nor do they have the burden of proof related to them. As such, the Intervenors represent that they will not contest or oppose the Commission taking action approving a proposed stipulation between the Company and another party or staff as a final resolution of these issues. No person is authorized to state that the Intervenors are a participant in, or party to, a stipulation on these issues, either in this docket, in an order of the Commission or in a representation to a Court. 2 A Type 1 stipulation occurs on an issue when the utility and intervenor agree on the resolution of the issue.
