PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS.
T a m p a Electric Company (Tampa Electric or the company) was
incorporated in Florida in 1899 and was reincorporated in 1949. As a result
of restructuring in 1981, the company became a subsidiary of TECO Energy,
Inc. (TECO Energy), a diversified energy-related holding company. The
company is a public utility operating wholly within the state of Florida
and is engaged in the generation, purchase, transmission, distribution and
sale of electric energy. The retail territory served comprises an area of
about 2,000 square miles in West Central Florida, including substantially
all of Hillsborough County and parts of Polk, Pasco and Pinellas Counties,
and has an estimated population of over one million. The principal
communities served are Tampa, Winter Haven, Plant City and Dade City. In
addition, the company engages in wholesale sales to other utilities which
consist of broker economy, requirements and other types of service of
varying duration and priority. The company has three electric generating
stations in or near Tampa and two electric generating stations located near
Sebring, a city located in Highlands County in South Central Florida.
The company had 2,828 employees as of Jan. 1, 1995, of which 1,154
were represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
(IBEW) and 333 by the Office and Professional Employees International
Union.
In 1994, approximately 46 percent of the company's total operating
revenue was derived from residential sales, 29 percent from commercial
sales, 10 percent from industrial sales and 15 percent from other sales
including bulk power sales for resale.
No material part of the company's business is dependent upon a single
customer or a few customers, the loss of any one or more of whom would have
a materially adverse effect on the company, except that 8 customers in the
phosphate industry accounted for 5 percent of operating revenues in 1994.
The company's business is not a seasonal one, but winter peak loads
are experienced due to fewer daylight hours and colder temperatures, and
summer peak loads are experienced due to use of air conditioning and other
cooling equipment.
Regulation
The retail operations of the company are regulated by the Florida
Public Service Commission (FPSC), which has jurisdiction over retail rates,
the quality of service, issuances of securities, planning, siting and
construction of facilities, accounting and depreciation practices and other
matters.
The company is also subject to regulation by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) in various respects including wholesale power
sales, certain wholesale power purchases, transmission services and
accounting and depreciation practices.
Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations cover air
quality, water quality, land use, power plant, substation and transmission
line siting, noise and aesthetics, solid waste and other environmental
matters. See Environmental Matters on page 6.
2
TECO Transport & Trade Corporation (TECO Transport) and TECO Coal
Corporation (TECO Coal), subsidiaries of TECO Energy, sell transportation
services and coal to the company and to third parties. The transactions
between the company and these affiliates and the prices paid by the company
are subject to regulation by the FPSC and FERC, and any charges deemed to
be imprudently incurred may not be allowed to be billed to the company's
customers. See Utility Regulation on pages 15 and 16.
Competition
The company's retail business is substantially free from direct
competition with other electric utilities, municipalities and public
agencies. At the present time, the principal form of competition at the
retail level consists of the self-generation option available to larger
industrial users of electric energy. The company anticipates that such
users, and possibly commercial and residential customers as well, may seek
to expand their options through legislative and/or regulatory initiatives
that would permit competition at the retail level. The company intends to
take all appropriate actions to retain and expand its retail business and
to continue its efforts to reduce costs and provide high quality service to
retail customers.
There is presently active competition in the wholesale power markets,
and this is increasing, largely as a result of the Energy Policy Act of
1992 and related federal initiatives. This Act removed certain regulatory
barriers to independent power producers under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935 and required utilities to transmit power from such
producers, utilities and others to wholesale customers under certain
circumstances. In a related development, the two largest electric utilities
in Florida have filed new transmission tariffs with FERC. The company is
challenging various aspects of these tariffs on the grounds that they have
anti-competitive effects which adversely affect wholesale power markets and
the company's ability to compete for wholesale power sales. In addition to
these initiatives, the company continues its efforts to increase its
wholesale business by reducing costs and maintaining competitive prices.
Retail Pricing
In general, the FPSC's pricing objective is to set rates at a level
that allows the utility to collect total revenues (revenue requirements)
equal to its cost of providing service, including a reasonable return on
invested capital.
The basic costs, other than fuel and purchased power, of providing
electric service are recovered through base rates, which are designed to
recover the costs of owning, operating and maintaining the utility system.
These costs include operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation and
taxes, as well as a return on the company's investment in assets used and
useful in providing electric service (rate base). The rate of return on
rate base, which is intended to approximate the company's weighted cost of
capital, includes its costs for debt and preferred stock, deferred income
taxes at a zero cost rate and an allowed return on common equity. Base
prices are determined in FPSC price setting hearings that occur at
irregular intervals at the initiative of the company, the FPSC or other
parties.
3
Fuel and certain purchased power costs are recovered through levelized
monthly charges established pursuant to the FPSC's fuel adjustment and cost
recovery clauses. These charges, which are reset semi-annually in an FPSC
hearing, are based on estimated costs of fuel and purchased power and
estimated customer usage for a specific recovery period, with a true-up
adjustment to reflect the variance of actual costs from the projected
charges for prior periods.
The FPSC may disallow recovery of any costs that it considers
imprudently incurred.
Certain non-fuel costs and the accelerated recovery of the costs of
conversion from oil-fired to coal-fired generation at the company's Gannon
Station are recovered through the FPSC's oil backout clause. Accelerated
r e c overy of this project's costs is obtained through accelerated
depreciation, which is permitted in an amount equal to two-thirds of the
net fuel savings of the project. The remaining one-third of the savings is
realized on a current basis by customers through the fuel adjustment
clause. See further discussion in Note A on page 26.
Fuel
About 99 percent of the company's generation for 1994 was from its
coal-fired units. The same level is anticipated for 1995.
The company's average fuel cost per million BTU and average cost per
ton of coal burned have been as follows:
Average cost
per million BTU: 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Coal $ 2.22 $ 2.26 $ 2.23 $ 2.22 $ 2.11
Oil $ 2.49 $ 2.69 $ 2.76 $ 3.21 $ 5.21
Gas -- $ 3.52 $ 2.43 $ 1.98 --
Composite $ 2.22 $ 2.27 $ 2.24 $ 2.25 $ 2.14
Average cost per ton
of coal burned $53.39 $54.55 $53.65 $53.87 $51.07
The company's generating stations burn fuels as follows: Gannon
Station burns low-sulfur coal; Big Bend Station burns coal of a somewhat
higher sulfur content; Hookers Point Station burns low-sulfur oil; Phillips
Station burns oil of a somewhat higher sulfur content; and Dinner Lake
Station, which was placed on long-term reserve standby in March 1994, burns
natural gas and oil.
Coal. The company burned approximately 6.8 million tons of coal
during 1994 and estimates that its coal consumption will be 6.9 million
tons for 1995. During 1994, the company purchased approximately 76 percent
of its coal under long-term contracts with seven suppliers, including TECO
C o a l, and 24 percent of its coal in the spot market or under
intermediate-term purchase agreements. About 28 percent of the company's
1994 coal requirements were supplied by TECO Coal. During December 1994,
the average delivered cost of coal (including transportation) was $52.40
per ton, or $2.18 per million BTU. The company expects to obtain
approximately 69 percent of its coal requirements in 1995 under long-term
contracts with six suppliers, including TECO Coal, with the remaining 31
percent in the spot market. The company's long-term coal contracts provide
for revisions in the base price to reflect changes in a wide range of cost
factors and for suspension or reduction of deliveries if environmental
4
regulations should prevent the company from burning the coal supplied,
provided that a good faith effort has been made to continue burning such
coal. The company estimates that about 23 percent of its 1995 coal
requirements will be supplied by TECO Coal. For information concerning
transactions with affiliated companies, see Note I. on page 33.
In 1994, about 85 percent of the company's coal supply was deep-mined
and approximately 15 percent was surface-mined. Federal surface-mining laws
and regulations have not had any material adverse impact on the company's
coal supply or results of its operations. The company, however, cannot
predict the effect on the market price of coal of any future mining laws
and regulations. Although there are reserves of surface-mineable coal
dedicated by suppliers to the company's account, high-quality coal reserves
in Kentucky that can be economically surface-mined are being depleted and
in the future more coal will be deep-mined. This trend is not expected to
result in any significant additional costs to the company.
Oil. The company has supply agreements through Dec. 31, 1995 for No. 2
fuel oil and No. 6 fuel oil for its four combustion turbine units, Hookers
Point Station and Phillips Station at prices based on Gulf Coast Cargo spot
prices. The price for No. 2 fuel oil deliveries taken in December 1994 was
$23.00 per barrel, or $3.96 per million BTU. The price for No. 6 fuel oil
deliveries taken in August 1994 was $15.10 per barrel, or $2.39 per
million BTU. There were no No. 6 fuel oil deliveries taken from September
through December 1994.
Franchises
The company holds franchises and other rights that, together with its
charter powers, give it the right to carry on its retail business in the
localities it serves. The franchises are irrevocable and are not subject to
amendment without the consent of the company, although, in certain events,
they are subject to forfeiture.
Florida municipalities are prohibited from granting any franchise for
a term exceeding 30 years. If a franchise is not renewed by a municipality,
the franchisee has the statutory right to require the municipality to
purchase any and all property used in connection with the franchise at a
v a l u ation to be fixed by arbitration. In addition, all of the
municipalities except for the cities of Tampa and Winter Haven have
reserved the right to purchase the company's property used in the exercise
of its franchise, if the franchise is not renewed.
T h e c o mpany has franchise agreements with 13 incorporated
municipalities within its retail service area. These agreements have
various expiration dates ranging from December 2005 to September 2021,
including the agreement with the city of Tampa, which expires in August
2006. The company has no reason to believe that any of these franchises
will not be renewed.
Franchise fees payable by the company, which totaled $19.9 million in
1994, are calculated using a formula based primarily on electric revenues.
5
Utility operations in Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk Counties
outside of incorporated municipalities are conducted in each case under one
or more permits to use county rights-of-way granted by the county
commissioners of such counties. There is no law limiting the time for which
such permits may be granted by counties. There are no fixed expiration
dates for the Hillsborough County and Pinellas County agreements. The
agreements covering electric operations in Pasco and Polk counties expire
in September 2033 and March 2005, respectively.
Environmental Matters
The company's operations are subject to county, state and federal
environmental regulations. The Hillsborough County Environmental Protection
C o mmission and the Florida Environmental Regulation Commission are
responsible for promulgating environmental regulations and coordinating
most of the environmental regulation functions performed by the various
departments of state government. The Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of
the state regulations. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
the primary federal agency with environmental responsibility.
The company has all required environmental permits. In addition, a
monitoring program is in place to assure compliance with permit conditions.
The company has been identified as one of numerous potentially responsible
parties (PRP) with respect to nine Superfund Sites. While the total costs
of remediation at these sites may be significant, the company shares
potential liability with other PRPs, many of which have substantial assets.
The company expects that its liability in connection with these sites will
not be significant.
Expenditures. During the five years ended Dec. 31, 1994, the company
s p e n t $98.6 million on capital additions to meet environmental
requirements, including $45.7 million for the Polk Power Station project.
Environmental expenditures are estimated at $69 million for 1995 and $58
million in total for 1996-1999, including, respectively, $65 million and
$48 million for the planned Polk Power Station. These totals exclude
amounts required to comply with Phase II of the 1990 amendments to the
Clean Air Act.
The company is complying with the Phase I emission limitations imposed
by the Clean Air Act which became effective Jan. 1, 1995 by using blends of
lower-sulfur coal and the use of a small quantity of purchased sulfur
dioxide allowances. In support of its Phase I compliance plan, the company
has entered into two long-term contracts effective in late 1994 for the
purchase of low-sulfur coal.
To comply with Phase II emission standards set for 2000, the company
would likely use blends of low-sulfur coal and flue gas scrubbing. The
company expects to spend $35 million of capital to comply with Phase II of
the Clean Air Act as described in the Capital Expenditures section on page
14.
The aggregate effect of Phase I and Phase II compliance on the
utility's price structure is estimated to be 2 percent or less.
6
In addition to recovering prudently incurred environmental costs
through base rates, the company can petition the FPSC for such recoveries
on a current basis pursuant to a statutory environmental cost recovery
procedure.
Item 2. PROPERTIES.
The company believes that its physical properties are adequate to
carry on its business as currently conducted. The properties are generally
subject to liens securing long-term debt.
The company had four electric generating plants and four combustion
turbine units in service with a total net generating capability at Dec. 31,
1994 of 3,393 MWs, including Big Bend (1,747-MW capability for four coal
units), Gannon (1,196-MW capability for six coal units), Hookers Point
(212-MW capability for five oil units), Phillips (34-MW capability for two
diesel units) and four combustion turbine units located at the Big Bend and
Gannon stations (204 MWs). Capability as used herein represents the
demonstrable dependable load carrying abilities of the generating units
during peak periods as proven under actual operating conditions. Units at
Hookers Point went into service from 1948 to 1955, at Gannon from 1957 to
1967, and at Big Bend from 1970 to 1985. In 1991, Tampa Electric purchased
two power plants (Dinner Lake and Phillips) from the Sebring Utilities
Commission (Sebring). Dinner Lake (11-MW capability for one natural gas
unit) and Phillips were placed in service by Sebring in 1966 and 1983,
respectively. In March 1994, Dinner Lake Station was placed on long-term
reserve standby.
The company owns approximately 4,350 acres of previously mined
phosphate land located in Polk County, Florida. This site will accommodate
the planned Polk Unit One electric power plant and additional generating
capacity in the future. Polk Unit One is discussed further under Capital
Expenditures on pages 14 and 15.
The company owns 176 substations having an aggregate transformer
c a p a city of 15,231,497 KVA. The transmission system consists of
approximately 1,183 pole miles of high voltage transmission lines, and the
distribution system consists of 6,791 pole miles of overhead lines and
2,357 trench miles of underground lines. As of Dec. 31, 1994, there were
491,101 meters in service. All of the foregoing property is located within
Florida.
All plants and important fixed assets are held in fee except that
title to some of the properties are subject to easements, leases,
contracts, covenants and similar encumbrances and minor defects, of a
nature common to properties of the size and character of those of the
company.
T h e company has easements for rights-of-way adequate for the
maintenance and operation of its electrical transmission and distribution
lines that are not constructed upon public highways, roads and streets. It
has the power of eminent domain under Florida law for the acquisition of
any such rights-of-way for the operation of transmission and distribution
lines. Transmission and distribution lines located in public ways are
maintained under franchises or permits.
The company has a long-term lease for the office building in downtown
Tampa, Florida, that serves as its headquarters.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None.
Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of 1994 to a vote of
the company's security holders through the solicitation of proxies or
otherwise.
PART II
Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
All of the company's common stock is owned by TECO Energy and,
therefore, there is no market for the stock.
The company pays dividends substantially equal to its net income
applicable to common stock to TECO Energy. Such dividends totaled $115.8
million for 1994 and $102.4 million for 1993. See Note C on page 28 for a
description of restrictions on dividends on the company's common stock.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
EARNINGS SUMMARY
Tampa Electric's net income for 1994 of $110 million was 3 percent
higher than 1993's primarily due to higher revenues partially offset by
higher operating and maintenance expenses, and the restructuring charge
described below.
In 1993, net income was 4 percent lower than in 1992 primarily due to
a $10 million non-recurring coal settlement charge in 1993 described in the
Other Income (Expense) section on page 13.
The company recorded a one-time $21 million pretax restructuring
charge ($13 million after tax) in the fourth quarter of 1994. The
restructuring program included almost a 10-percent reduction in staffing
levels and other cost reductions. Approximately 70 percent of the charge
represents costs associated with retirement benefits. See Note F on page
31.
OPERATING RESULTS
The company's operating income before the restructuring charge
increased 9 percent in 1994. Higher base revenues from retail customer
growth, increased retail energy usage and a retail price increase effective
in January were partially offset by higher operating expenses.
The company's 1993 operating income was even with 1992's as increased
operating income from nearly 2-percent customer growth and a retail price
increase were offset by higher operating expenses.

Operating Revenues
The company's revenues rose in 1994 with retail customer growth of 2
percent and increased retail energy sales of almost 4 percent. In 1993
customer growth of almost 2 percent and higher long-term contract sales to
other utilities increased operating revenues. Retail price increases of $16
million and $12 million became effective January 1994 and February 1993,
respectively.
9
Retail megawatt-hour sales declined slightly in 1993 from 1992, the
result of the significant reduction in energy demand from industrial
phosphate customers. This industry experienced a sharp recession in 1993.
The economy in the company's service area showed significant strength
in 1994 after slow growth in 1993 and 1992. As a result residential and
commercial energy sales were up by 4 percent in 1994. Sales to the
phosphate industry also grew, up by more than 3 percent in 1994 as these
companies recovered from their industry-wide recession.
With continued economic recovery, total retail energy sales are
expected to remain strong. Energy sales growth in the residential and
commercial sectors are expected to be 2.5-3.0 percent for the next five
years. Energy sales to industrial customers are expected to represent a
smaller percentage of total energy sales over the same period. This is
primarily due to the depletion of phosphate reserves and the resulting
movement of mining activities out of the company's service area.
Non-fuel revenues from sales to other utilities were $33 million in
1994, $34 million in 1993 and $33 million in 1992. Energy sold to other
utilities declined in 1994 because of lower-priced oil and gas-fired
generation available on other systems. By shifting to higher-margin
longer-term power sales agreements, the 10-percent decline in sales to
other utilities in 1994 resulted in only a 3-percent decline in non-fuel
revenues.
Signing of longer-term wholesale power sales agreements remains a
priority. Within the last three years, the company has added seven bulk
power sales contracts of varying capacities and terms. Low-cost, coal-
fired generation has allowed the company to market its available capacity
successfully.

Operating Expenses
Effective cost management and efficiency improvements continued to be
principal objectives at the company. Total operating expenses in 1994
included the restructuring charge discussed in the Earnings Summary section
on page 9, the $4-million annual charge to develop a transmission and
distribution property storm-damage reserve in accordance with regulatory
directives described in the Utility Regulation section on pages 15 and 16
and the effects of accounting for fuel expense in accordance with FPSC
requirements. Continued emphasis on cost containment limited growth in
operating expenses in 1994 to 4 percent, excluding the amounts recovered
10
through FPSC-approved cost recovery clauses, the $21-million restructuring
charge and the $4-million annual accrual for the storm damage reserve.
Certain fuel, purchased capacity, conservation and oil backout costs were
fully recovered and had no impact on earnings.

Net operating expenses $510.7 9.7% $465.6 4.4% $446.1
Other operating expenses increased 5 percent, excluding amounts
recovered through FPSC-approved cost recovery clauses and the $4-million
accrual for the storm damage reserve. Included in the increase were
higher employee-related expenses, higher accruals for self-insurance
liability reserves and increased expenses for regulatory activity.
The largest employee-related increase in expense was the pay-at-risk
program for all employees. This program, which began in 1992, places a
percentage of all employees' pay at risk subject to the company achieving
or surpassing various annual goals. The program is strongly linked to
operating results; good results in 1994 produced a higher payout than in
1993. This program will continue with an increasing pay-at-risk component
for all employees in 1995.
The restructuring actions taken in 1994 will help mitigate future
increases in other operating expenses. The company expects to recover the
$ 2 1 -million corporate restructuring charge through lower operating
expenses within two years.
11
The increase in other operating expense in 1993 included $6 million
related to changes in accounting for postemployment benefits. Higher
medical coverage costs and other employee-related expenses and greater
regulatory activity also increased 1993 expenses.
Continued efforts at cost control reduced maintenance expense in many
areas of the company in 1994 and helped partially offset increased
scheduled generating unit maintenance expenses during the year. Ongoing
work redesign efforts and equipment modifications and enhancements will
help moderate maintenance expense increases in the future.
Maintenance expense in 1993 was unchanged from 1992, excluding $2.5
million of oil backout costs which are recovered through a specific FPSC-
approved recovery clause.
Depreciation expense increased both years because of normal additions
to plant and equipment. A large increase in 1993 was due primarily to the
transfer of the assets of the Gannon Project Trust to the company.
Taxes, other than those on income, were up each year, mainly
reflecting higher gross receipts taxes and franchise fees which were
included in customer bills. Property taxes also contributed to the increase
in 1993.
Total fuel cost and purchased power expense was 5 percent higher in
1994 due to the accounting for deferred fuel expense consistent with the
FPSC-approved fuel clause. Actual system fuel cost incurred was in line
with 1993 due to the mix in operating generating units and the company's
success in using lower-priced coals. In 1993 the average fuel price
increased due to an unavailability of lower-priced spot coal caused by the
United Mine Workers' strike.
The company purchased less energy in 1994 because its generating units
performed at higher levels of availability. Substantially all fuel and
purchased power expenses were recovered through the Fuel and Purchased
Power Cost Recovery Clause.
Nearly all of the company's generation in the last three years has
been from coal, and the fuel mix will continue to be substantially coal.
Coal prices are expected to remain stable during the next few years
compared with either oil or gas prices, and the company continues to work
to reduce its fuel costs.
Coal Contract Buyout
In December 1994 the company bought out an existing long-term coal
supply contract which would have expired in 2004 for a lump sum payment of
$25.5 million and entered into two new contracts with the supplier. The
price of the coal supplied under the new contracts was competitive in price
with coals of comparable quality.
The new contracts will allow the company to increase its participation
in a more favorable coal market. At the same time, the company customers
will benefit from anticipated net fuel savings of more than $40 million
through the year 2004.
The company requested and the FPSC authorized it to recover the buy-
out cost plus carrying costs through the Fuel and Purchased Power Cost
Recovery Clause over the next ten years.
12
NON-OPERATING ITEMS
Other Income (Expense)
Allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) in 1994 more than
doubled from 1993 levels. AFUDC will continue to increase in 1995 and 1996
with the construction of the company's Polk Unit One.
In 1993, the company recorded as other expense a one-time $10-million
pretax charge, or 5 cents per share, associated with an FPSC-approved
settlement agreement between the company and the Office of Public Counsel,
described in the Utility Regulation section on page 15.
Interest Charges
Interest charges were $39 million in 1994, 7 percent lower than in
1993 primarily due to the savings from refinancing of long-term debt
accomplished in 1993, which substantially offset the impact of rising
short-term interest rates in 1994. Interest charges in 1993 were level with
1992. Interest costs in 1993 were affected by lower interest rates and
savings from the refinancings as discussed in the Financing Activity
section on pages 16 and 17, which offset higher average debt balances.
Income Taxes
Total income tax expense for 1994, as described in Note G on pages 31
and 32, was 3 percent higher than in 1993 primarily due to higher pretax
income.
Effective Jan. 1, 1993, the federal corporate income tax rate
increased from 34 percent to 35 percent. This rate increase lowered 1993
earnings by $1.7 million.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Income Tax Accounting
Effective Jan. 1, 1993, the company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards (FAS) 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of
the liability method in accounting for income taxes.
The adoption of FAS 109 had no effect on net income or common equity,
but did result in certain adjustments to accumulated deferred income taxes
and the establishment of corresponding regulatory tax liability and asset
accounts reflecting the amounts payable to or recoverable from customers
through future rates. The FPSC adopted a rule for accounting for deferred
income taxes under FAS 109 requiring that deferred tax adjustments and the
related regulatory tax liability be treated the same as accumulated
deferred income taxes had been treated in the past.
Based on the FPSC rule, the company believes that there will not be
any changes in the computation of income tax expense for rate making
purposes and thus, no change in its revenue requirements or earnings due to
the adoption of FAS 109.
13
Postemployment Benefits
The company adopted FAS 106, Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other than Pensions, effective Jan. 1, 1993. The rates approved by the FPSC
f o r the company in 1993 and 1994 reflect full cost accrual of
postretirement benefits as required by FAS 106. The company also adopted
FAS 112, Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, in 1993.
Investments in Securities
I n 1994 the company adopted FAS 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which requires fair value
accounting for these securities. Adopting this standard did not have a
significant impact on the company's financial position or results of
operations.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures for 1994 were $231 million, which included $6
million of AFUDC. The company spent $97 million in 1994 for construction of
Polk Unit One, a 250-megawatt coal-gasification plant. The cash cost of
the plant is estimated at about $450 million, net of $110 million in
construction funding from the U.S. Department of Energy under its Clean
Coal Technology Program. Site preparation and construction began in mid-
1994 with commercial operation expected in the fourth quarter of 1996. In
addition, the company spent $128 million for equipment and facilities to
serve the growing customer base and provide for generating equipment
improvements.
The company expects to spend $320 million in 1995 and $570 million
during the 1996-1999 period, mainly for distribution facilities to meet
customer growth and for construction of Polk Unit One. An estimated $205
million will be spent on this project in 1995, and $60 million in 1996. At
the end of 1994, the company had outstanding commitments of about $175
million for the construction of Polk Unit One.
Included in the company's expected capital expenditures is $35
million in the 1995 to 1999 period to comply with Phase II of the Clean Air
Act, primarily for nitrogen oxide emission reductions, emissions monitoring
equipment and sulfur dioxide emission reductions through scrubbing. This
amount excludes the capital expenditures that may be required for an
additional new scrubber, if required, to comply with the Clean Air Act.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
The company is complying with the Phase I emission limitations imposed by
the Clean Air Act which became effective Jan. 1, 1995 by using blends of
lower-sulfur coal and the use of a small quantity of purchased sulfur
dioxide allowances. In connection with its Phase I compliance plan, the
company has entered into two long-term contracts effective in late 1994 for
the purchase of low-sulfur coal.
To comply with Phase II emission standards set for 2000, the company
would likely use blends of low-sulfur coal and flue gas scrubbing. The
aggregate effect of Phase I and Phase II compliance on the utility's price
structure is estimated to be 2 percent or less.
The company expects to spend $35 million of capital to comply with
Phase II of the Clean Air Act as described in the Capital Expenditures
section on page 14.
UTILITY REGULATION
Price Increase
The FPSC granted the company a $1.2 million base revenue increase and a
$10.3 million revenue increase primarily associated with recovery of
purchased power capacity payments effective in early February 1993. The
utility received an additional base revenue increase of $16 million
effective Jan. 1, 1994. The FPSC decision reflected overall allowed
regulatory rates of return of 8.20 percent in 1993 and 8.34 percent in
1994, which include an allowed regulatory rate of return on common equity
of 12 percent, the midpoint of a range of 11 percent to 13 percent. The
FPSC approved for inclusion in rate base $19 million of construction work
in progress in 1993 and $55 million in 1994.
On March 25, 1994 the FPSC issued an order that changed Tampa
Electric's authorized regulatory rate of return on common equity to an
11.35 percent midpoint with a range of 10.35 percent to 12.35 percent,
while leaving in effect the rates it had previously established. The FPSC
also ordered a $4-million annual accrual to establish an unfunded storm
damage reserve for transmission and distribution property and ordered the
company to prepare a study of the appropriate annual accrual and the
appropriate balance for this reserve. The company filed this study with
15
the FPSC in September 1994. In February 1995 the FPSC approved the accrual
of $4 million annually and a total amount to be reserved of $55 million as
supported by the study. The $55 million total amount is subject to review
in future years.
On July 18, 1994 the FPSC issued an order approving an agreement
between its staff and the company to cap the utility's authorized
regulatory rate of return on common equity at 12.45 percent for calendar
year 1994 only. Any earnings above that amount would be used to increase
the storm damage reserve. The company did not exceed the 12.45 percent cap
in 1994 and, therefore, accrued only the $4 million to the storm damage
reserve.
The company expects to file for inclusion of the Polk Unit One in the
rate base in 1996. The company is exploring a number of alternatives in
addition to its cost reduction efforts to mitigate the impact of any base
price change on the total bill that customers pay.
Coal Settlement
In February 1993, the FPSC approved an agreement between the company
and Public Counsel that resolved all issues relating to prices for coal
purchased in the years 1990 through 1992 by the company from its affiliate,
Gatliff Coal, a subsidiary of TECO Coal. The company agreed to refund $10
million plus interest to its customers through the fuel adjustment clause
over a 12-month period beginning April 1, 1993. In 1993, the company
refunded $7.6 million to its customers and refunded the remaining $2.4
million in 1994.
FERC Transmission/Interchange Proceedings
The company is one of several utilities that have intervened in
Florida Power & Light's (FPL) proceeding before the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) in which FPL has requested to change
substantially the terms for providing interchange power and transmission
services. In addition to challenging the reasonableness and fairness of
many provisions of FPL's filing, the company maintains that aspects of the
t r a n smission tariffs are anti-competitive and violate FERC's new
comparability standard governing open access to transmission.
By order of the FERC, evidentiary hearings on the reasonableness of
FPL's filing commenced before an administrative law judge in January 1995.
Final resolution of the matters at issue is not expected until 1996 or
1997.
In response to a transmission tariff filing by Florida Power
Corporation (FPC), the company filed with the FERC, on March 16, 1995 a
protest and request for hearing claiming ambiguities regarding the
availability of transmission services, the lack of support for the tariff
rates and charges, the anti-competitive effects of the tariff and lack of
compliance with the FERC's comparability standard. The company has
requested that FPC be required to clarify the ambiguities in the tariff and
provide cost support. Additionally, the company has requested that the FERC
set for hearing the comparability issues and competitive impacts of the
filing.
16
FINANCING ACTIVITY
The company's 1994 year-end capital structure was 41 percent debt, 56
percent common equity and 3 percent preferred stock. The company's
objective is to maintain a capital structure over time that will support
its current credit ratings.
Credit Ratings/Senior Debt
Duff & Phelps Moody's(1) Standard & Poor's
AA+ Aa1 AA
(1) Credit rating under review, March 1995.
In June 1993, the Hillsborough County Industrial Development Authority
issued $20 million of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds for the benefit of
the company to finance the cost of waste disposal facilities. The bonds
bear interest at a floating rate set daily. At Dec. 31, 1994, $3.7 million
remained on deposit with the trustee to finance future expenditures for
qualified facilities.
In July 1993, the company entered into a forward refunding arrangement
for $85.95 million of outstanding Pollution Control Revenue Bonds. Under
this arrangement, $85.95 million of new tax-exempt bonds due Dec. 1, 2034
were issued on Dec. 1, 1994 at a 6.25 percent interest rate. The proceeds
were used on Feb. 1, 1995 to refund the original series having a 9.9
percent interest rate. For accounting and rate-making purposes, the company
recorded interest expense using a blended rate for the original and
refunding bonds from July 1993 and will continue to use this blended rate
through the maturity dates of the original bonds.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES
The company met its cash needs during 1994 largely with internally
generated funds and capital contributions from its parent, with the balance
from debt.
At Dec. 31, 1994, the company had bank credit lines of $140 million
available.
The company expects to meet its capital requirements for ongoing
operations in 1995-1999 substantially from internally generated funds. The
company anticipates some capital contributions from its parent and debt
financing, primarily in 1995 and 1996.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
of Tampa Electric Company,
We have audited the balance sheets of Tampa Electric Company, (a
wholly owned subsidiary of TECO Energy, Inc.) as of Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the related statements of income, cash flows, retained earnings and
capitalization for each of the three years in the period ended Dec. 31,
1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
e v i dence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tampa Electric
Company as of Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended Dec. 31,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, effective Jan. 1,
1993 the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

STATEMENTS OF CAPITALIZATION (continued)
At Dec. 31, 1994, total long-term debt had a carrying amount of
$607.3 million and an estimated fair market value of $601.8 million. The
estimated fair market value of long-term debt was based on quoted market
prices for the same or similar issues, on the current rates offered for
debt of the same remaining maturities, or for long-term debt issues with
variable rates that approximate market rates, at carrying amounts. The
carrying amount of long-term debt due within one year approximated fair
market value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The company entered into an interest rate exchange agreement to reduce the
cost of $100 million of fixed rate long-term debt. The debt has been
refinanced but the exchange agreement will remain in effect until January
1996. The benefit derived from the exchange agreement could range up to
$2.3 million depending on floating rate levels. The benefits of this
agreement are at risk only in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to this agreement or if the floating rate reaches 12.55%. The company
does not anticipate nonperformance by the other party. The benefit of the
interest rate exchange is used to reduce interest expense. The reduction
was $2.3 million per year in 1994, 1993 and 1992.
At Dec. 31, 1994, this interest rate exchange agreement had an estimated
fair market value of $2.3 million. Estimated fair market value was based
on the expected realizable value to the company upon termination of the
agreement.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The company maintains its accounts in accordance with recognized policies
prescribed or permitted by the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) and
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). These policies conform
with generally accepted accounting principles in all material respects.
The impact of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 71, Accounting for
the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation, has been minimal in the
company's experience, but when cost recovery is ordered over a longer
period than a fiscal year, costs are recognized in the period that the
regulatory agency recognizes them in accordance with FAS 71.
The company's retail and wholesale businesses are regulated by the FPSC and
the FERC, respectively. Prices allowed by both agencies are generally
based on recovery of prudent costs incurred plus a reasonable return on
invested capital.
Revenues and Fuel Costs
Revenues include amounts resulting from cost recovery clauses which provide
for monthly billing charges to reflect increases or decreases in fuel,
purchased capacity, oil backout and conservation costs. These adjustment
factors are based on costs projected by the company for a specific recovery
period. Any over-recovery or under-recovery of costs plus an interest
factor are refunded or billed to customers during the subsequent recovery
period. Over-recoveries of costs are recorded as deferred credits and
under-recoveries of costs are recorded as deferred debits.
Certain other costs incurred by the company are allowed to be recovered
from customers through prices approved in the regulatory process. These
costs are recognized as the associated revenues are billed.
The company accrues base revenues for services rendered but unbilled to
provide a closer matching of revenues and expenses.
On Oct. 27, 1992, pursuant to FPSC approval, the Gannon Project Trust was
terminated and the Trust's net assets and debt were placed on the company's
balance sheet. At that time, the net assets of the Trust totaled $54.2
million, which included $140.3 million of property, plant and equipment,
$87.6 million of accumulated depreciation and $1.5 million of other assets
a n d liabilities. Concurrently, the Hillsborough County Industrial
Development Authority issued $54.2 million of variable-rate Pollution
Control Revenue Refunding Bonds due May 15, 2018 for the benefit of Tampa
Electric, the proceeds of which were used to redeem all of the outstanding
debt of the Gannon Project Trust. The effect of this non-cash transaction
has been netted to arrive at capital expenditures and proceeds from long-
term debt in the Statements of Cash Flows.
26
In February 1993, the FPSC approved an agreement between the company and
the Office of Public Counsel that resolved all issues relating to prices
for coal purchased in the years 1990 through 1992 by the company from its
affiliate, Gatliff Coal, a subsidiary of TECO Coal. The company recognized
a $10-million liability in February 1993 and agreed to return this amount
plus interest during the 12-month period effective April 1, 1993. The $10-
million charge related to this agreement is classified in "Other income
(expense)" on the income statement.
Depreciation
The company provides for depreciation primarily by the straight-line method
at annual rates that amortize the original cost, less net salvage, of
depreciable property over its estimated service life. The provision for
utility plant in service, expressed as a percentage of the original cost of
depreciable property, was 4.2% for 1994, 1993 and 1992.
The original cost of utility plant retired or otherwise disposed of and the
cost of removal less salvage are charged to accumulated depreciation.
Deferred Income Taxes
Effective Jan.1, 1993, the company adopted FAS 109, which changed the
requirements for accounting for income taxes. Although FAS 109 retains the
concept of comprehensive interperiod income tax allocation, it adopts the
liability method in the measurement of deferred income taxes rather than
the deferred method. Under the liability method, the temporary differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities are
reported as deferred taxes measured at current tax rates. Since the
company is a regulated enterprise and reflects the approved regulatory
treatment, the adoption of FAS 109 resulted in certain adjustments to
accumulated deferred income taxes and the establishment of a corresponding
regulatory tax liability reflecting the amount payable to customers through
future rates and had no effect on earnings.
In 1994, the company reclassed certain deferred tax items on the balance
sheet to comply with FERC interpretations of FAS 109 requirements.
Investment Tax Credits
Investment tax credits have been recorded as deferred credits and are being
amortized to income tax expense over the service lives of the related
property.
Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC)
AFUDC is a non-cash credit to income with a corresponding charge to utility
plant which represents the cost of borrowed funds and a reasonable return
on other funds used for construction. The rate used to calculate AFUDC is
revised periodically to reflect significant changes in the company's cost
of capital. The rate was 7.28% for the final 10 months of 1994, 7.70% for
the first two months of 1994 and for all of 1993, and 7.93% for 1992. The
base on which AFUDC is calculated excludes construction work in progress
which has been included in rate base.
27
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Included in cash and cash equivalents at Dec. 31, 1994 is $3.4 million of
securities classified as available-for-sale. Securities classified as
a v ailable-for-sale are highly liquid, high-quality debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Short-term investments at Dec. 31, 1993 consisted of various equity
investments, stated at lower of aggregate cost or market. Net unrealized
gains are not recognized until they are realized. Realized gains and losses
are determined on the specific identification cost basis. The carrying
amount of these investments approximated fair market value because of their
short holding period.
In 1994 the company adopted FAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities, which requires fair value accounting for debt
and equity securities. No short-term investments existed at Dec. 31, 1994
and the change in net unrealized gains and losses on trading securities
included in earnings in 1994 was not significant.
Reclassifications
Certain 1993 and 1992 amounts were reclassified to conform with current
year presentation.

(1) In 1994, a FERC audit recommended that $325,000 of net costs be
reclassified from common stock issuance expense and additional paid
in capital, to retained earnings. The issuance expense, which totaled
$353,000, related to a retired series of preferred stock.
C. Retained Earnings
The company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and certain series of the
company's first mortgage bond issues contain provisions that limit the
dividend payment on the company's common stock and the purchase or
retirement of the company's capital stock. At Dec. 31, 1994, substantially
all of the company's retained earnings were available for dividends on its
common stock.
28
D. Retirement Plan
The company is a participant in the comprehensive retirement plan of TECO
Energy, which has a non-contributory defined benefit retirement plan which
covers substantially all employees. Benefits are based on employees' years
of service and average final salary.
TECO Energy's policy is to fund the plan within the guidelines set by
ERISA for the minimum annual contribution and the maximum allowable as a
tax deduction by the IRS. The company's share of net pension expense,
excluding the restructuring charge, was $0.9 million for 1994, $1.1 million
for 1993 and $1.8 million for 1992. The company's portion of pension
expense related to the restructuring charge in 1994 was $12.7 million.
About 65 percent of plan assets were invested in common stocks and 35
percent in fixed income investments at Dec. 31, 1994.
Components of net pension expense, reconciliation of the funded
status and the accrued pension prepayment are presented below for TECO
Energy consolidated.

E. Postretirement Benefit Plan
The company currently provides certain postretirement health care benefits
for substantially all employees retiring after age 55 meeting certain
service requirements. The company contribution toward health care coverage
for most employees retiring after Jan. 1, 1990 is limited to a defined
dollar benefit based on years of service. Postretirement benefit levels
are substantially unrelated to salary. The company reserves the right to
terminate or modify the plan in whole or in part at any time.
In 1993, the company adopted FAS 106 that requires postretirement benefits
be recognized as earned by employees rather than recognized as paid. Prior
to 1993, the cost of these benefits was recognized as benefits were paid
and amounted to $2.2 million for eligible retirees in 1992.

The assumed health care cost trend rate for medical costs prior to age 65,
and for certain retirees after age 65, was 11.5% in 1994 and decreases to
5.5% in 2002 and thereafter. The assumed health care cost trend rate for
medical costs after age 65 was 8.0% in 1994 and decreases to 5.5% in 2002
and thereafter.
A 1 percent increase in the medical trend rates would produce an 11 percent
($0.5 million) increase in the aggregate service and interest cost for 1994
and a 7 percent ($3.9 million) increase in the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of Dec. 31, 1994.
F. Restructuring Charge
In 1994, the company implemented a corporate restructuring program which
resulted in a $21 million charge ($13 million after tax). The cost of this
r e s t ructuring program, which included 225 early retirements, the
elimination of other positions and other cost control initiatives, is
expected to be recovered within the next two years through reduced
operating expenses. Approximately $1.7 million of this charge was paid in
1994. The impact on pension cost resulting from the restructuring as
determined under the provisions of FAS 88, "Accounting for Settlements and
C u rtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination
Benefits," was approximately $13.0 million. The impact on postretirement
benefits as determined under FAS 106, "Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions," was approximately $2.6 million. These
amounts are included as part of the total charge of $21 million. See Note D
on pages 29 and 30, and Note E on pages 30 and 31.
G. Income Tax Expense
The company is included in the filing of a consolidated Federal income tax
return with its parent and affiliates. The company's income tax expense is
based upon a separate return computation. Income tax expense consists of
the following components:

H. Short-Term Debt
Notes payable at Dec. 31, 1994 consisted exclusively of commercial paper
with weighted average interest rates of 5.92% and 3.31%, respectively, at
Dec. 31, 1994 and Dec. 31, 1993. The carrying amount of notes payable
approximated fair market value because of the short maturity of these
instruments. Unused lines of credit at Dec. 31, 1994 were $140 million.
Certain lines of credit require commitment fees of .15% on the unused
balances.

Accounts payable $ 17,270 $ 20,693
Accounts receivable and accounts payable were incurred in the ordinary
course of business and do not bear interest.
J. Commitments and Contingencies
The company has made certain commitments in connection with its continuing
capital improvements program. Capital expenditures are estimated to be $320
million for 1995 and $570 million for 1996 through 1999 for equipment and
facilities to meet customer growth and for construction of additional
generating capacity to be placed in service in 1996. The company is
building a 250-MW coal-gasification plant (Polk Unit One) with a capital
cost of about $450 million, net of $110 million in construction funding
from the Department of Energy under its Clean Coal Technology Program. The
company spent $97 million on this project in 1994 and expects to spend $205
million in 1995, and $60 million in 1996. At the end of 1994, the company
h a d outstanding commitments of approximately $175 million for the
construction of Polk Unit One.

(1) The options are exercisable beginning on the date of grant, April 18, 1994.
(2) An equal number of stock appreciation rights which can only be exercised during limited periods
following a change in control of TECO Energy ( LSAR s) were awarded in tandem with the options
granted in 1994. Upon exercise of an LSAR, the holder is entitled to an amount based upon the
highest price paid or offered for TECO Energy Common Stock during the 30-day period preceding a
change in control of TECO Energy, as defined under "Employment and Severance Agreements" below.
The exercise of an option or an LSAR results in a corresponding reduction in the other.
(3) The values shown are based on the Binomial Option Pricing Model (a variant of the Black-Scholes
model) and are stated in current annualized dollars on a present value basis. The key assumptions
used in the Binomial Option Pricing Model for purposes of this calculation include the following:
(a) a 7% discount rate; (b) a volatility factor based upon the average TECO Energy Common Stock
trading price for the 40-month period ending December 31, 1993; (c) a dividend factor based upon
the 5-year average dividend paid by TECO Energy for the period ending December 31, 1993; (d) the
10-year option term; and (e) the closing price of TECO Energy's Common Stock on December 31, 1993.
The present value of the options reported has been calculated by multiplying $19.4375, the share
price on the date of grant, by 0.1766, the Binomial Option Pricing Model ratio, and by the number
of shares underlying the options granted. The actual value an executive may realize will depend
upon the extent to which the stock price exceeds the exercise price on the date the option is
exercised. Accordingly, the value, if any, realized by an executive will not necessarily be the
value determined by the Binomial Option Pricing Model.

750,000 112,500 225,000 337,500 450,000
The annual benefits payable to each of the named executive officers
are equal to a stated percentage of such officer s average earnings for the
three years before his retirement multiplied by his number of years of
service, up to a stated maximum. The amounts shown in the table are based
on 3% of such earnings and a maximum of 20 years of service. The amounts
payable to Mr. Guzzle are based on 6% of earnings and a maximum of 10 years
of service.
40
The earnings covered by the pension plan arrangements are the same as
those reported as salary and bonus in the summary compensation table above.
Years of service for the named executive officers are as follows: Mr.
Guzzle (7 years), Mr. Anderson (35 years), Mr. Surgenor (6 years), Mr. Oak
(21 years), Mr. Cantrell (19 years) and Mr. Wilson (32 years). The pension
benefit is computed as a straight-life annuity commencing at age 62 and is
reduced by an officer s Social Security benefits. The pension plan
arrangements also provide death benefits to the surviving spouse of an
officer equal to 50% of the benefit payable to the officer. If the officer
dies during employment before reaching age 62, the benefit is based on the
officer's service as if his employment had continued until age 62. The
death benefit is payable for the life of the spouse. If Mr. Guzzle's
employment is terminated by the Corporation without cause or by Mr. Guzzle
for good reason (as such terms are defined in Mr. Guzzle's employment
agreement referred to below), his age and service for purposes of
determining benefits under the pension plan arrangements are increased by
two years.
Employment and Severance Agreements
TECO Energy has severance agreements with 28 officers of TECO Energy
and its subsidiaries, including the executive officers named in the Summary
Compensation Table, under which payments will be made under certain
circumstances following a change in control of TECO Energy (as defined in
the severance agreements). Each officer is required, subject to the terms
of the severance agreements, to remain in the employ of TECO Energy or its
subsidiaries for one year following a potential change in control (as
defined) unless a change in control earlier occurs. The severance
agreements provide that in the event employment is terminated by the
company or TECO Energy without cause (as defined) or by the officer for
good reason (as defined) following a change in control, TECO Energy will
make a lump sum severance payment to the officer of two times (three times
in the cases of Mr. Guzzle, Mr. Surgenor and Mr. Oak) annual salary and
bonus. Upon such termination, the severance agreements also provide for:
(i) a cash payment equal to the additional retirement benefit which would
have been earned under TECO Energy's retirement plans if employment had
continued for two years (three years in the cases of Mr. Guzzle, Mr.
Surgenor and Mr. Oak) following the date of termination, and (ii)
participation in the life, disability, accident and health insurance plans
of TECO Energy for such period except to the extent such benefits are
provided by a subsequent employer.
Any benefit payable to the officer in connection with a change in
control or termination of employment will be reduced to the extent that
such payment, taking into account any other compensation provided by TECO
Energy, would not be deductible by TECO Energy pursuant to Section 280G of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
TECO Energy has an employment agreement with Mr. Guzzle providing
that if his employment is terminated by TECO Energy without cause or by Mr.
Guzzle for good reason, he will receive benefits similar to those provided
under the severance agreements described above based upon a level of two
times annual salary and bonus and a two-year benefit continuation period.
Consistent with his employment agreement, Mr. Guzzle's 1994 option grant
provides for a two-year exercise extension period in the event of such a
termination.
41
Compensation of Directors
Directors of TECO Energy and the company who are not employees or
former employees of the company, TECO Energy or any of its subsidiaries are
paid a combined annual retainer of $20,000 and a fee of $1,000 for
attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and $500 ($600 for the
Committee Chairman) for attendance at each meeting of a Committee of the
Board. Directors may elect to defer these amounts with earnings credited at
either the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate or a rate equal to the total
return on TECO Energy's common stock.
TECO Energy has an agreement with Mr. Culbreath under which he will
provide consulting services to TECO Energy through December 31, 2000 for
compensation at a rate of $175,000 per year. Mr. Culbreath served as Chief
Executive Officer of TECO Energy until April 1989 and retired as an
employee in April 1990 at which time the consulting relationship commenced.
The agreement provides severance benefits (in the event of termination of
Mr. Culbreath s consultancy following a change in control) similar to the
benefits described under "Executive Compensation--Employment and Severance
Agreements" on the preceding page, including a lump sum cash payment of
three times annual compensation, except that the amount of such payment is
limited to the total of all consulting fees that would have become due
under the agreement.
1991 Director Stock Option Plan. TECO Energy has a Director Stock
Option Plan in which all non-employee directors of the company and TECO
Energy participate. The plan provides automatic annual grants of options to
purchase shares of TECO Energy common stock to each non-employee director
serving on the TECO Energy Board at the time of grant. The exercise price
is the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, payable
in whole or in part in cash or TECO Energy common stock. The plan provides
for an initial grant of options for 10,000 shares for each new director
following election to the Board and an annual grant of options for 2,000
shares for each continuing director. Annual grants are made on the first
trading day of TECO Energy common stock after its annual meeting. The
options are exercisable immediately and expire ten years after grant or
earlier as provided in the plan following termination of service on the
Board.
Directors' Retirement Plan. All directors who have completed 60
months of service as a director of TECO Energy and who are not employees
or former employees of TECO Energy or any of its subsidiaries are eligible
to participate in a Directors' Retirement Plan. Under this plan, a retired
director or his or her surviving spouse will receive a monthly retirement
benefit equal to the monthly retainer last paid to such director for
services as a director of TECO Energy or any of its subsidiaries. Such
payments will continue for the lesser of the number of months the director
served as a director or 120 months, but payments will in any event cease
upon the death of the director or, if the director's spouse survives the
director, the death of the spouse.

Exhibit 4.11
EXHIBIT A
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The Project referred to in the Installment Purchase Contract to
which this Exhibit A is attached consists of certain pollution control
facilities to be acquired, constructed and installed at Unit No. 4 of
the Big Bend Station of Tampa Electric Company in Hillsborough County,
Florida, more particularly described as follows:
BIG BEND UNIT NO. 4
A. Electrostatic Precipitator
Particulate control for Big Bend Unit No. 4 will be
a c c omplished by the use of a rigid frame electrostatic
precipitator. The precipitator is designed for a 99.7+%
p a rticulate removal efficiency and includes the following
associated equipment: ductwork and breaching, structural steel,
foundations, pilings, hoppers/hopper heat tracing and electrical
power and control devices.
1. Precipatator Flyash Storage Silo
This silo is a cylindrical tank supported by structural
steel columns. The associated equipment includes bag
filter, vent controls, weigh scale, pumps, supporting
structural steel, foundations and piling.
2. Storage Ponds
Earthen storage ponds with dikes to a maximum elevation
of 35 feet will be provided for the storage of flyash in the
event flyash cannot be marketed. These ponds will be lined
to protect the ground water systems from leachate.
3. Piping
This item consists of the necessary piping, pumps and
c o ntrols to convey the precipitator flyash from the
precipitator hoppers by way of a dry vacuum system to the
flyash silo. From dry flyash silo, flyash is transported
wet by way of piping to the above noted flyash storage
ponds.
66
Exhibit 4.11
B. Bottom Ash Removal
1. Hoppers
Steel hoppers collect ash which falls out the bottom of
the pulverized fuel furnace. Included with the bottom ash
h o p per are the necessary structural steel supports,
foundations, pilings, and associated electrical controls.
2. Ponds
Bottom ash storage ponds are provided for storage of
the collected bottom ash. The initial or primary settling
pond receives the water from the ash hoppers. This water is
then decanted and recycled to the plant for reuse. After
the primary ponds are filled, they will be hydraulically
dredged to a more permanent long term storage pond. The
primary decanting or settling receiving ponds will be lined;
the larger more permanent bottom ash storage pond will be
unlined.
3. Piping
This item includes the necessary piping to sluice the
bottom ash slurry from the hoppers to the bottom ash
receiving ponds. Also included are the piping and pumps
required to return the water to the plant for reuse in this
ash system.
C. Flue Gas Desulfurization System (FGD System)
1. Description of System
The type of FGD System selected for Big Bend Unit No. 4
is a two stage forced oxidation limestone regenerable system
designed to have an efficiency between eighty-five to ninety
percent (85%-90%). The FGD System consists of three (3)
modules with one (1) spare. The modules will consist of
booster fans, quenchers, absorbers, absorber feed tank,
associated piping and pumps. Reheat fans and a reheater are
provided to reheat the exiting gas flow from the FGD System
to provide the necessary buoyancy and drying requirements
for the exiting stack gas.
2. Limestone Preparation
Included with the FGD System are the raw limestone
facilities required for receiving, unloading, grinding,
preparation, and transfer of limestone to the FGD System
proper. The limestone unloading and handling system
i n cludes all necessary controls, structural supports,
foundations and piling required.
3. FGD Waste Handling
67
Exhibit 4.11
Another major portion of the FGD System is the waste
handling facility. This system includes a building which
houses the necessary dewatering, separation, treatment
equipment and is for processing the gypsum waste from the
FGD System, plus transfer facilities for moving the gypsum
from the waste handling building to the on-site storage
area. This area includes a stacking system and the
necessary ponding and containment ditches for the gypsum
pile runoff.
D. Liquid Waste Treatment
The waste treatment system for Big Bend Unit no. 4 will be
an extension of the existing waste treatment systems for Big Bend
Units No. 1, 2 and 3. The floor drains are collected and
transferred to a common reinforced concrete transfer sump with
all necessary pumping and piping and then transported to an
existing settling pond before return to the plant for use as
recycle water for equipment wash down.
E. Fine Mesh Screens
Fine mesh traveling water screens and associated equipment
will be installed in the circulating water system to remove small
marine organisms from the circulating water system. The caught
organisms will be collected with a low pressure screenwash and
returned via a flume to Tampa Bay.
F. Sanitary Waste Streams
A d ditional sanitary water treatment capacity will be
installed with Unit No. 4. The discharge from this system will
be piped to the waste water transfer sump described above.
68
Exhibit 4.11
BIG BEND UNIT NO. 4 COAL HANDLING AND BLENDING SYSTEM
A. Coal Pile Runoff System Modifications
The existing coal pile runoff collection system
will be modified so as to collect the runoff from the
extended and modified coal handling and blending
system. The collected runoff water will be monitored
prior to returning this water to the bay.
B. Dust Suppression Equipment
Dust suppression equipment will be provided at all
major transfer points in the newly installed coal
h a ndling and blending system. This suppression
equipment will consist of either water sprays and/or
vacuum type bag filters. A dust suppression system
will also be included in the tripper room over the top
of the blending bins.

imposed as of the date of the issuance of the Series 1984A Bonds,

(such determination not to be considered final unless the Company has
been given written notice and, if it so desires, has been afforded an
opportunity, at the Company's expense, to contest, either directly or
in the name of any holder of a Series 1984A Bond, any such

Original Contract is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof a new
Section 10.9 as follows:

(a) Except as provided in Section 10.10 hereof, the Company
hereby agrees to purchase on the first day of each Interest Rate
Period (except the first Interest Rate Period) all of the Series 1984A
Bonds or portions thereof properly tendered to the Tender Agent for
purchase in accordance with Section 307 of the Indenture, at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that
if and to the extent the Remarketing Agent sells all or a portion of
the Series 1984A Bonds so tendered for purchase, the Company shall be

Bonds so tendered for purchase and resold as described in this
subsection 10.9(a).

Series 1984A Bonds tendered for purchase.
(c) On or before the date on which the Series 1984A Bonds are to

Company's Obligation to Purchase The Series 1984A Bonds.
(a) The Company may elect to terminate its obligation under

of the second month preceding the Fixed Rate Date if the Fixed Rate
Date is to be on or before January 1, 1985, written notice of its
intention so to do, together with a written opinion of Bond Counsel to

federal income tax. Upon receipt by the Trustee of notice from the
Company of its election to terminate its obligation to purchase such
Series 1984A Bonds, the Trustee will give notice on January 1 (or on
the first day of the month immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Date

Indenture. After the Fixed Rate Date, the Series 1984A Bonds shall
bear interest at such rate and the Company shall no longer have any
obligation to purchase Series 1984A Bonds tendered for purchase.
(b) In the event that prior to the Fixed Rate Date, the Fixed
Rate Index on November 26 and December 26 in 1985 or any year
thereafter is 5% or lower, the obligation of the Company to purchase
all of the Series 1984A Bonds tendered for purchase on February 1 of
any year after the year in which the Fixed Rate Index reached 5% or
lower shall terminate.

Exhibit 10.20
TECO ENERGY GROUP
RETIREMENT SAVINGS EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN
ARTICLE I
GENERAL
1.1 Introduction. This Retirement Savings Excess Benefit Plan (the
"excess plan") is an amendment and restatement of the TECO Energy Group
Savings Excess Benefit Plan which was originally established in 1984 and
has been amended from time to time as set forth in Schedule A. The plan is
designed to provide eligible officers who are members and beneficiaries of
the TECO Energy Group Retirement Savings Plan (the "savings plan") a
benefit corresponding to the savings deposits, matching employer
contributions and cancelled vacation contributions that would have been
allocated to the member's accounts under the savings plan but for legal
limitations on the benefits that may be provided under the savings plan.
This excess plan also allows eligible officers to defer compensation under
a voluntary salary reduction agreement.
1.2 Definitions. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used in this
excess plan shall have the same meaning as those terms used in the savings
plan.
1.3 No Right to Corporate Assets. This excess plan is unfunded, and
the employers will not be required to set aside, segregate, or deposit any
funds or assets of any kind to meet their obligations hereunder. Nothing
in this excess plan will give a member, a member's beneficiary or any other
person any equity or other interest in the assets of the employers, or
create a trust or a fiduciary relationship of any kind between the
employers and any such person. Any rights that a member, beneficiary or
other person may have under this excess plan will be solely those of a
general unsecured creditor of the employers. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, TECO Energy may establish a grantor trust of which it is treated
as the owner under Section 671 of the Internal Revenue Code to provide for
the payment of benefits hereunder.
1.4 Nonalienation of Benefits. The rights and benefits of a member
of this excess plan are personal to the member. No interest, right or
claim under this excess plan and no distribution therefrom will be
assignable, transferable or subject to sale, mortgage, pledge,
hypothecation, anticipation, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy,
except by designation of beneficiary.
1.5 Binding Effect of Plan. This excess plan will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of members and designated beneficiaries and their
heirs, executors and administrators, and to the benefit of the employers
and their assigns and successors in interest.
104
Exhibit 10.20
1.6 Administration. This excess plan will be administered by the
Retirement Savings Plan Committee of the savings plan (the "committee") who
will have sole responsibility for its interpretation.
1.7 Interpretation. The portion of this excess plan that provides
benefits in excess of the restrictions on annual additions under Section
6.11 of the savings plan is intended to be an "excess benefit plan" as
defined in Section 3(36) of ERISA. The portion of the plan that provides
all other benefits is intended to be a deferred compensation plan for a
select group of management or highly compensated employees as provided in
Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. The plan will be
interpreted in a manner that comports with the foregoing intentions. To
the extent not governed by federal law, this excess plan will be construed,
enforced and administered according to the laws of the State of Florida.
ARTICLE II
EXCESS PLAN BENEFITS
2.1 Excess Savings Deposits. A member's enrollment in the savings
plan will constitute an agreement to reduce his salary and defer
compensation under this excess plan in the amount of savings deposits that
he is prevented from contributing to the savings plan because of (a) the
limitations of Article VI of the savings plan, (b) the limit on applicable
compensation under Section 2.1 of the savings plan or (c) a reduction in
the member's applicable compensation attributable to voluntary salary
reduction deferrals under this excess plan. The member's enrollment also
constitutes his agreement that his employer may retain any savings deposits
that would otherwise be returned to him pursuant to the provisions of the
savings plan.
2.2 Excess Matching Contributions.
(a) Quarterly Match. Each member will be entitled to the amount
of the fixed quarterly match that would have been made for such member
under Section 5.1(a) of the savings plan for the quarter on savings
deposits that are credited under this excess plan during such quarter.
(b) Annual Match. Each member who was employed on the last day
of the plan year or whose employment ended during the plan year
because of death, disability or retirement will be entitled to the
amount of the variable annual match that would have been made for such
member under Section 5.1(b) of the savings plan on savings deposits
that are credited under this excess plan during such year.
105
Exhibit 10.20
2.3 Excess Cancelled Vacation Contributions. Each member will be
entitled to any cancelled vacation contributions that his employer is
prevented from contributing on behalf of the member because of the
restrictions on annual additions under Article VI of the savings plan or
the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code.
ARTICLE III
SALARY REDUCTION DEFERRALS
3.1 Eligibility. The Chief Executive Officer of TECO Energy will
from time to time designate those officers of TECO Energy and its
subsidiaries who are eligible to make salary reduction deferrals under the
salary reduction feature of the plan.
3.2 Voluntary Deferrals. An eligible officer may elect to contribute
amounts under this plan on a voluntary salary reduction basis, not to
exceed 50% of the officer's base salary and 100% of the officer's incentive
award for the year.
3.3 Salary Reduction Elections. A voluntary salary reduction
election must be made in writing on or before the December 31 preceding the
year during which the compensation is to be earned, except that (a)
elections for 1994 must be made on or before October 31, 1994 and (b)
elections for the first year of eligibility of newly eligible officers must
be made within 30 days of the date of initial eligibility. All elections
must be in writing and are irrevocable after the effective date of the
election. An election is effective only with respect to compensation
earned after the election and is effective through December 31 of the year
to which it applies.
ARTICLE IV
ACCOUNTS AND CREDITS
4.1 Establishment of Accounts. For recordkeeping purposes only, the
committee will establish and maintain for each member such of the following
accounts as are appropriate:
(a) an excess savings contribution account;
(b) an excess matching contributions account;
(c) an excess cancelled vacation contributions account; and
(d) a salary reduction contributions account.
106
Exhibit 10.20
Credits and charges to such accounts will be made as provided in the plan.
4.2 Credits to Excess Accounts. Excess savings deposits, excess
quarterly and annual matching contributions and excess cancelled vacation
contributions will be credited to the appropriate account as of the date
the amount would otherwise have been credited to the corresponding account
under the savings plan.
4.3 Credits to Salary Reduction Contributions Account. Salary
reduction contributions will be credited to a member's salary reduction
contributions account as of the date the amount would otherwise have been
paid to the member. The amount credited to a member's salary reduction
contributions account may be reduced to reflect the amount needed to
satisfy any tax withholding obligations attributable to the contribution.
4.4 Crediting Earnings. The committee will credit earnings to each
member's accounts in accordance with the method of determining earnings
established from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of TECO Energy. In the event of a change in control of TECO
Energy, the method of determining earnings with respect to amounts credited
to the plan for any year up to and including the year of the change in
control may not result in an earnings rate that is less favorable than the
rate that would apply under the method as in effect immediately before the
change in control. For purposes of this section, a "change in control of
TECO Energy" shall mean a change in control of a nature that would be
required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of
Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") whether or not TECO Energy is in fact required
to comply therewith; provided, that, without limitation, such change in
control shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(e) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than TECO Energy, any Trustee or
other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
TECO Energy or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the
stockholders of TECO Energy in substantially the same proportions as
their ownership of stock of TECO Energy, is or becomes the "beneficial
owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of TECO Energy representing 30% or more of
the combined voting power of TECO Energy's then outstanding
securities;
(f) during any period of 24 consecutive months (not including
any period prior to the effective date of this agreement), individuals
who at the beginning of such period constitute the board of directors
of TECO Energy (the "board") and any new director (other than a
director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with
TECO Energy to effect a transaction described in paragraphs (a), (c)
or (d) of this Section 4.4) whose election by the board or nomination
107
Exhibit 10.20
for election by the stockholders of TECO Energy was approved by a vote
of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who
either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election
or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any
reason to constitute a majority thereof;
(g) the stockholders of TECO Energy approve a merger or
consolidation of TECO Energy with any other corporation, other than
(i) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
securities of TECO Energy outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50%
of the combined voting securities of TECO Energy or such surviving
entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or
(ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of TECO Energy (or similar transaction) in which no
"person" (as hereinabove defined) acquires 30% or more of the combined
voting power of TECO Energy's then outstanding securities; or
(h) the stockholders of TECO Energy approve a plan of complete
liquidation of TECO Energy or an agreement for the sale or disposition
by TECO Energy of all or substantially all of TECO Energy's assets.
ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS
5.1 Distributions. Distributions to a member upon retirement, death
or other termination of employment will be made at the same time and in the
same form as distributions to the member under Section 10.4 of the savings
plan. For forms of distribution other than a lump sum or installments for
a fixed period of years, the committee will distribute benefits at a time
and in a form that most closely approximates the form and time of
distributions to the member under the savings plan.
5.2 Designation of Beneficiary. A member may designate one or more
beneficiaries to receive any portion of the amount remaining in his
accounts as of the date of death and may revoke or change such a
designation at any time. If the member names two or more beneficiaries,
distribution to them will be in such proportions as the member designates
or, if the member does not so designate, in equal shares. Any designation
of beneficiary will be in writing on such form as the committee may
prescribe and will be effective upon filing with the committee. Any
portion of a distribution payable upon the death of a member which is not
disposed of by a designation of beneficiary, for any reason whatsoever,
will be paid to the member's spouse if living at his death, otherwise
equally to the member's natural and adopted children (and the issue of a
deceased child by right of representation), otherwise to the member's
estate.
108
Exhibit 10.20
5.3 Hardship Distributions from Accounts. The committee may, in its
discretion, distribute a portion or all of the member's accounts in case of
the member's financial hardship. The committee will determine the date of
payment of the distribution.
5.4 No Withdrawals. Except as provided in Section 5.3, a member may
not withdraw amounts credited to his accounts.
ARTICLE VI
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
6.1 Amendment. TECO Energy may, without the consent of any member,
beneficiary or other person, amend this excess plan at any time and from
time to time; provided, however, that no amendment will reduce the amount
then credited to the excess account of any member.
6.2 Termination. TECO Energy may terminate this excess plan at any
time. Upon termination of the plan, payments from a member's excess
account will be made in the manner and at the time prescribed in Section
5.1, provided that TECO Energy may, in its discretion, distribute a
member's account in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the date the
excess plan is terminated.

TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The following table sets forth the company's ratio of earnings to fixed
charges for the periods indicated.
Year ended Dec. 31, 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
4.11x(1) 3.98x(2) 4.16x 3.66x 3.64x
For the purposes of calculating this ratio, earnings consist of income
before income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on
indebtedness, amortization of debt premium, the interest component of
rentals, deferred interest costs and preferred stock dividend requirements.
__________________
(1) Includes the effect of restructuring charge of $21.3 million pretax as
discussed in Note F on page 31. The effect of this charge was to reduce the
ratio of earnings to fixed charges. Had this non-recurring charge been
excluded from the calculation, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would
have been 4.52x for the period ended Dec. 31, 1994.
(2)Includes the effect of the non-recurring $10 million pretax charge
associated with a coal pricing settlement as discussed in Note A on page
26. The effect of this charge was to reduce the ratio of earnings to fixed
charges. Had this non-recurring charge been excluded from the calculation,
the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been 4.17x for the period
ended Dec. 31, 1993.
