Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01: Other Events

As previously reported, on February 4, 2013, Tampa Electric delivered a letter to the Florida Public Service Commission (the “FPSC”) notifying it of its intent to file a request for an increase in its retail base rates and service charges. On April 5, 2013, Tampa Electric filed a petition with the FPSC requesting, among other things, a permanent increase in rates and service charges sufficient to generate additional total annual revenues of approximately $134.8 million, to be effective on or after January 1, 2014. The request provides for a return on equity range of 10.25% to 12.25% with a midpoint of 11.25%. The petition also requests certain changes to existing rate schedules, as well as the adoption of new rate designs. Testimony of Tampa Electric witnesses and minimum filing requirements were also filed with the FPSC supporting the increases in rates and charges requested in the petition. Documents relating to Tampa Electric’s base rate case will be available on the FPSC website and through the Investors section of the TECO Energy website.
