January 31, 2024, Duke </span>Energy Florida (&#8220;DEF&#8221;) notified the Florida Public Service Commission (&#8220;FPSC&#8221;) that
it expects to file a formal request on April 2, 2024 for new base rates. DEF intends to propose a three-year rate plan that would begin
in January 2025, once its current base rate settlement agreement concludes at the end of this year.&#160; DEF will propose multi-year
rate increases that use the projected 12-month periods ending December 31, 2025, 2026, and 2027 as the test years, with adjusted rates
to be effective with the first billing period of January 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively.&#160; DEF expects to request additional base
rate revenue requirements of approximately $596 million in 2025, $95 million in 2026 and $127 million in 2027.&#160; This is an average
annual increase in revenue requirements of approximately 4% percent over 2025 through 2027. DEF will propose to set the company&#8217;s
return on common equity midpoint at 11.15 percent on a proposed capital structure containing 53 percent equity and 47 percent debt.</p>
