Issue 1:
Should the Commission approve the proposed 2025 Territorial Agreement between Talquin and Quincy, dated September 5, 2025?
Yes, the Commission should approve the proposed 2025 Territorial Agreement between Talquin and Quincy in Gadsden County, as consistent with the standards for approval set forth in Rule 25-6.0440(2), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The proposed 2025 Territorial Agreement, if approved, adjusts the territorial boundary line set forth in the utilities’ 1995 Territorial Agreement, allowing the joint petitioners to accommodate future loads in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. Also, the terms of the proposed 2025 Territorial Agreement would permit the joint petitioners to avoid unnecessary duplication of transmission and distribution facilities as well as better serve the future needs of their respective customers.
Issue 2:
Should this docket be closed?
Yes. If no protest is filed by a person whose substantial interests are affected within 21 days of the issuance of the Order, this docket should be closed upon the issuance of a Consummating Order.

(Tariff Filing)
Issue 1:
Should the Commission approve TECO’s proposed rates and associated tariffs to implement its 2026 subsequent year adjustment?
Yes. The Commission should approve TECO’s proposed rates and associated tariffs to implement its 2026 SYA, because the project timelines, rates, and associated tariffs are consistent with the Commission’s prior decision in the Rate Case Order. The rates have been calculated to recover a total 2026 SYA revenue requirement of $87,727,795 as previously approved by the Commission and as presented in Exhibit 1 of TECO’s petition. Consistent with the Rate Case Order, the associated tariffs, included as Attachment A of staff’s memorandum dated October 23, 2025, should become effective with the first billing cycle of January 2026.
Issue 2:
Should this docket be closed?
If Issue 1 is approved and a protest is filed within 21 days of the issuance of the Order by a person whose substantial interests are affected, the tariff should remain in effect, with any incremental revenues held subject to refund, pending resolution of the protest. If no timely protest is filed, this docket should be closed upon the issuance of a Consummating Order.

(Tariff Filing)
Issue 1:
Should the Commission approve the utility's proposed swing service rider rates and associated tariffs for the period January through December 2026?
Yes, the Commission should approve the proposed swing service rider rates for the period January through December 2026, as provided in Attachment A of staff’s memorandum dated October 23, 2025. FPUC’s proposed swing service rider reflects the updated cost of swing service for transportation customers. Staff reviewed the total projected intrastate capacity costs and verified that the costs included are appropriate. Furthermore, the methodology for calculating the swing service rider rates is consistent with the 2016 Order.
Issue 2:
Should this docket be closed?
Yes. If Issue 1 is approved and a protest is filed within 21 days of the issuance of the order, the tariff should remain in effect, with any revenues held subject to refund, pending resolution of the protest. If no timely protest is filed, this docket should be closed upon the issuance of a consummating order.

Issue 1:
What are the appropriate test year operating revenues and rates for LP Waterworks, Inc.’s water and wastewater systems?
Staff recommends that the appropriate test year operating revenues are $177,972 for water system and $135,878 for the wastewater system. Furthermore, staff recommends that the rate increase of 10.97 percent for water and 9.92 percent for wastewater be applied as an across-the-board increase to service rates. The recommended water and wastewater rates are shown on Schedule Nos. 4-A and 4-B of staff’s memorandum dated October 23, 2025, respectively. The utility should file revised tariff sheets and a proposed customer notice to reflect the Commission-approved rates. The approved rates should be effective for service rendered on or after the stamped approval date on the tariff sheets pursuant to Rule 25-30.475(1), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). In addition, the approved rates should not be implemented until staff has approved the proposed customer notice and the notice has been received by the customers. The utility should provide proof of the date notice was given within 10 days of the date of the notice.
Issue 2:
Should this docket be closed?
No. If no person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed
agency action files a protest within 21 days of the issuance of the order, a
consummating order should be issued. The docket should remain open for staff’s
verification that the revised tariff sheets and customer notice have been filed
by the utility and approved by staff. In addition, this docket should remain
open until the report with the summary of the results of the customer meeting
has been submitted by the utility. Once these actions are complete, this docket
should be closed administratively.
