On December 1, 1998, the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) approved an agreement regarding FPL's allowed regulatory return on equity (ROE), equity ratio and special amortization program. The FPSC is expected to issue an order by December 21, 1998. Affected parties have 21 days following issuance of an order to protest the FPSC's decision and request a hearing. Under the agreement, FPL's authorized ROE would be reduced from a range of 11.0% to 13.0% to a range of 10.2% to 12.2% effective January 1, 1999. For purposes of calculating ROE, FPL would agree to a maximum equity ratio of 55.83% (which has been adjusted to reflect certain discounted long-term power purchase contracts) through 2000. Also under the agreement, FPL's special amortization program would be extended through 2000 and, effective November 1, 1998, the program would be modified to include an additional fixed amount of $140 million per year over and above the amount of amortization based on the level of retail base revenues recorded under the current program.
