Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 9/23/2025 PUBLIC POWER FOR YOUR COMMUNITY 7 More than 2,000 cities and towns in the United States light up their homes, businesses and streets with “public power–electricity that comes from a community-owned and -operated utility. Public power utilities are like our public schools and libraries: a division of local government, owned by the community, run by boards of local officials accountable to the citizens. Most public power utilities are owned by cities and towns, but many are owned by counties, public utility districts, and even states. While each public power utility is different, reflecting its hometown characteristics and values, all have a common purpose: providing customers in the community with safe, reliable, not-for-profit electricity at a reasonable price while protecting the environment. Public power today is an important contemporary American institution. From small towns to big cities, wherever public power exists, it is an expression of the American ideal of local people working together to meet local needs. It is a manifestation of local control. Who does public power serve? • More than 2,000 community-owned electric utilities serve more than 48 million people.1 • Public power utilities serve small communities as well as large cities, including Los Angeles, San Antonio, Nashville, Orlando and Seattle. • Public power serves customers in 49 states–all but Hawaii–and five U.S. territories. • Three million businesses receive their power from a publicly owned electric utility. 1 Based on U.S. Census Bureau statistics of 2.54 people per household/meter. What is Public Power? • Brings electricity to homes and businesses • May generate and/or buy power • Is a not-for-profit entity • Is owned by the community • Is usually a division of local government • Is transparent (subject to sunshine laws) • Involves citizens in decision-making A public power utility: 8 PUBLIC POWER FOR YOUR COMMUNITY What are the other utility ownership structures? There are three types of electric utilities: public power, rural electric cooperatives and investor-owned utilities. Public power utilities are entities of local or state government. The public power business model is based on public ownership and local control, a not-for-profit motive, and focus on its customers. Because they are public entities, public power utilities do not pay federal income taxes or most state taxes, but they support the local government through payments in lieu of taxes or transfers to the general fund. Electric cooperatives are private, not-for-profit businesses. They are owned by their consumer-members, who elect governing board members and are required to return any excess revenue (above what is needed for operating costs) to their members. The local government and broader community generally have no involvement in the governance of the utility. Most electric cooperatives are exempt from federal income tax, and may pay neither taxes nor payments-in-lieu-of-taxes to support the local government. Investor-owned utilities are private, for-profit enterprises. They are owned by investors or shareholders, who generally are not customers of the utility or members of the community, and their primary motivation is to increase the value to shareholders. As private businesses, investor-owned utilities do pay taxes to local governments, but customers have no voice in the operation of the utility. Three types of Electric Utilities BUSINESSMODEL REGULATED BY STATE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION GOVERNED BY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION TOLOCAL GOVERNMENT Not for profit, Not for profit, For profit,community-owned member-owned share-holder owned Very limited instances Some All Elected/appointed boards– Member-elected boards Private boardsmayors, city council members,citizens Exempt from most taxes; instead May neither pay taxes nor other Pay taxes to localmake payments in lieu of taxes contributions to local government governmentor transfers to the general fund PUBLIC POWER UTILITIES RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES INVESTOR-OWNED UTILITIES 1 IN 7 ELECTRICITY CUSTOMERS IN THE U.S. ARE SERVED BY PUBLIC POWER PUBLIC POWER FOR YOUR COMMUNITY 9 What is the Public Power Business Model? While each community-owned utility is unique, all public power utilities share five basic tenets that comprise the public power business model: Public Ownership Public power utilities are owned by and operated for the citizens they serve and therefore are accountable to their local owners. Local Control Local, independent regulation and governance gives utility policymakers greater agility in decision-making and protects the long-term viability of the utility, while permitting customer involvement in the process. This ensures decisions reflect the values of the community. Nonprofit Operations Community-owned electric utilities serve only the interest of their customers, avoiding conflicts between the interests of shareholders and customers because they are one and the same. Excess revenues stay in the local community and are invested in system improvements and utility reserves, shared with the local government, or returned to the customer in the form of lower rates. They are not distributed among outside shareholders, as they are in the case of for-profit utilities. Low-Cost Structure Public power utilities have access to lower cost tax-exempt financing and generally have stronger credit ratings than privately owned utilities. Publicly owned utilities may have more efficient operations and access to less expensive federal hydro power. Customer Focused Community-owned electric utilities are dedicated to the singular mission of delivering the highest level of service and value to their customer-owners for the long term. Public power utilities focus on the specific needs of customers, including high reliability and lower rates, as well as local priorities, which may include new technologies, environmental concerns or advanced communications. 5 ELEMENTS OF PUBLIC POWER BUSINESS MODEL PUBLIC OWNERSHIP LOCAL CONTROL NONPROFIT OPERATIONS LOW-COST STRUCTURE CUSTOMER FOCUSED 10 PUBLIC POWER FOR YOUR COMMUNITY Who is in charge of public power utilities? Public power utilities are owned and accountable to the people they serve. Citizens have a direct and powerful voice in utility decisions and policies, both at the ballot box and in open meetings where business is conducted. Where does the power come from? The governance structure for each utility varies. Some are governed by the city council; others are controlled by an independent utility board whose members may be elected or appointed by the mayor and city council. Together, public power utilities and joint action agencies generate two-thirds of the electricity they distribute to their customers. The rest of the electricity they distribute is purchased from investor-owned and cooperative utilities, independent generators and federal power agencies. Overall, public power utilities and joint action agencies own 10 percent of electricity generation and transmission in the United States, and 16 percent of all electricity distribution. 10% OF GENERATION 10% OF TRANSMISSION 16% OF DISTRIBUTION Public Power’s Share of the U.S. Electricity Market Electric utilities have three core functions: • Generation of electricity; • Transmission of electricity; and • Distribution of electricity to customers. Most public power utilities are distribution-only, meaning they do not own and operate their own power plants and bulk transmission. Instead, these utilities purchase power and transmission services at wholesale to distribute to their customers. Many distribution-only utilities purchase power and transmission from joint action agencies. PUBLIC POWER FOR YOUR COMMUNITY 11 Energy Resources Electricity is created from the conversion of a fuel or other source of energy into electrons. This process occurs on a large scale in a power plant, or on a smaller scale through distributed energy resources (e.g., solar panels on your roof). The primary electricity generating technologies used in the United States are coal, natural gas, nuclear and hydro power. A small but growing portion of the generation portfolio comes from renewable resources, such as solar, wind, landfill methane gas, and geothermal power. Public power utilities around the country rely on all of these energy resources to varying degrees. Each of the various generating technologies has its advantages and disadvantages, which is why having a diversified portfolio of fuels–particularly generation sources that can be relied on most of the time–is a priority for electric utilities. 2 Energy Information Administration Form EIA-860, 2015 (2013 data). Joint action agencies are membership organizations formed by groups of local community-owned utilities. These agencies, often authorized by state legislation, are governed by boards comprised of member representatives. The agencies buy or generate power and provide other services for their constituent utilities. With the combined leverage and purchasing power they get from representing multiple utilities, these agencies give their members the advantage of economies of scale and allow public power utilities to exercise strength in numbers. What is a Joint Action Agency? Electricity used by public power is generated from2 17.3% 28% 7.6% 5.4% 39.5% 2.2% PUBLIC POWER SYSTEMS OWN 2/3 OF THEIR GENERATION AND BUY 1/3.

Duke Energy Florida (Duke) currently provides electric services in Clearwater, Pinellas County, and a large portion of central and northern Florida. NewGen partnered with Barr Engineering Company (Barr) and Duncan & Allen, LLP (Duncan & Allen), collectively the NewGen Project Team, to develop the assumptions, analyses, and recommendations for this Study. This report provides the results of the Study conducted by the NewGen Project Team. Duke’s electric service to the City is granted through the terms and conditions within a Franchise Agreement with the City that was signed in 1995 with Florida Power Corporation and transferred to Duke in 2012 as a result of its merger with Progress Energy. This Franchise Agreement expires on December 31, 2025, the timing of which offers the City an opportunity to evaluate different options for its electric service provider, including the creation of a potential Clearwater MEU. The intent of this Feasibility Study was to develop an estimate of the Clearwater MEU’s projected average annual system retail rate compared to an estimate of Duke’s similar average system retail rate for the customers in the Clearwater area. The Clearwater MEU average system rate was developed as the total annual revenue requirement to provide service, which includes estimated operating costs, debt service payments associated with acquiring the physical assets of the Duke distribution system, and other costs. To be clear, this Study does not envision, nor would it be required, that the Clearwater MEU own or operate any generation assets to serve its load. It is assumed and generally accepted that publicly owned utilities in Florida are entitled to purchase wholesale power and transmission service through processes regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The feasibility of establishing a Clearwater MEU must consider an estimate of a range of values for the acquisition of the Duke distribution assets plus other associated costs anticipated to be incurred in the process of such an acquisition. If the City determines that establishing a Clearwater MEU is feasible and chooses to move forward with this process, it must acquire Duke’s existing distribution-related assets. To accomplish this acquisition, the City would incur significant fees and costs. Operating costs for the Clearwater MEU include estimates for power supply, transmission, and operations and maintenance (O&M) of the distribution system; customer costs; and other charges. The estimated value of the Duke assets to be acquired was based on data provided by Duke, the City, and a detailed field assessment and cost analysis conducted by the NewGen Project Team. An estimate of the accumulated physical depreciation was applied to the Duke assets to develop the estimated Reproduction Cost New Less Depreciation (RCNLD) value, which, consistent with provisions in existing Florida state law, serves as the basis for the costs to acquire the distribution system. This analysis was conducted for a 30-year period beginning in 2026. This report is the result of the Study and includes descriptions of several key assumptions based on data provided by Duke, discussions with the City, the field assessment, and the NewGen Project Team’s collective professional experience. There are many ways to evaluate costs of assets to be acquired for a feasibility study. This Study utilized an estimate of the RNCLD value and other costs. This approach does not constitute an appraisal of the assets to be acquired by the City in created an MEU. The results of the analysis conducted for this Study suggest that the Clearwater MEU could potentially provide service to its customers at lower average system retail rates than those estimated for Duke while EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report providing reliable power to its citizens. Figure ES-1 below compares the Clearwater MEU “all-in” projected rates to those projected for Duke for each year of the Study period (2026–2055). Figure ES-1. Comparison of Effective All-In Rates ($/kWh) for Clearwater MEU versus Duke Clearwater The results suggest that for all years of the Study period, the estimated all-in effective rate for the Clearwater MEU is lower than the estimated effective all-in rate for Duke for the customers within the Clearwater MEU service territory (Duke Clearwater). For the first 5 years of the Study period, the Clearwater MEU all-in effective rate is approximately 7% lower on average than the Duke rate on an annual basis. After this initial period, the Clearwater all-in effective rate is approximately 18% lower on average than the effective Duke rate on an annual basis for the remainder of the Study period. This analysis was predicated on several key assumptions regarding the development and operation of the costs associated with the potential Clearwater MEU. The primary drivers for the development of annual average system retail rates for the Clearwater MEU included the assumptions and estimates for the costs to acquire the system assets, future power supply costs, the separation and reintegration of the distribution system, the dissolution of any “stranded costs” claims made by Duke, and other operating costs. For this Study, the NewGen Project Team made reasonable estimates and assumptions as further described herein. The development of a Clearwater MEU is not without potential risks to the City, including the risk that the projections developed herein prove to be incorrect. It should be noted that the assumptions developed for this Study are based on a point in time and are subject to change with changes in the economy, utility industry, and other aspects of society within and beyond the state of Florida, and such changes may have an adverse impact on the analysis developed herein. Therefore, it is critical to understand that actual results may, and likely will, vary from those contained in this report. There are potentially significant legal challenges associated with the development of a Clearwater MEU, including those related to various state and federal statutes. At the state level, the City would likely need to compel Duke to sell its assets through a forced sale. Relevant legal precedents for public entities acquiring private utility assets specific to Florida suggest that the value of assets is related to their relative RCNLD costs, as well as consideration of “going concern” and other costs. Federal regulations provide a framework for various aspects of public acquisition of private utility assets, including potential claims of stranded costs. As discussed herein, based on the applicable state statutes, the NewGen Project Team assumed that the Clearwater MEU would not incur stranded costs in the acquisition of the Duke distribution assets. $0.00 $0.05 $0.10 $0.15 $0.20 $0.25 $0.30 202620272028202920302031203220332034203520362037203820392040204120422043204420452046204720482049205020512052205320542055$/KWHYEAR Effective All-In Rates ($/kWh) Clearwater MEU vs Duke Clearwater Duke Clearwater Effective Rates Clearwater MEU Effective Rates EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 3 A Clearwater MEU would provide the City with an opportunity to effectuate public policies related to electric utility operations. For the purposes of this Study, those opportunities are focused on the potential implementation of an undergrounding program as well as on potential rates to address concerns regarding affordability and economic development in the community. Conversion of overhead distribution facilities to underground would require significant investments by the Clearwater MEU; however, these investments may result in improved reliability, less need for vegetation management, and improved safety and aesthetics. For the purposes of this Study, the additional costs for undergrounding portions of the distribution system were not included to determine the feasibility of the creation of the Clearwater MEU. Additionally, rate design for individual customer classes as well as various customer- related programs to address economic development policy considerations would require the development of a detailed cost of service study. This Study did not include costs for such programs or proposed rates for customer classes to address affordability concerns. Conclusions / Next Steps This Study established that it is potentially financially feasible for Clearwater to establish a municipal electric utility based on the assumptions described herein. If the City decides to proceed with development of the Clearwater MEU at this time, it has the ability to identify “off-ramps” at which point it can reevaluate that decision in response to new developments, including developments in its relationship with Duke. These developments could include an incorporation of the City’s policy objectives within a future Franchise Agreement with Duke. Such policy objectives could include specific future improvements in the distribution system reliability metrics or the identification and measurement of other service metrics or customer programs that address economic development concerns within the City. The City may choose to defer the development of a Clearwater MEU at this time while it aligns its current and future Franchise Agreements in ways that may facilitate future MEU consideration. This may include (i) geographic or temporal limitations or conditions on Duke’s ability to serve areas of the City where the City may wish to initiate limited municipal utility service in the future (such as solely for City electrical load); (ii) stipulations for a franchise purchase option (including price, valuation methodology, future interconnection arrangements, etc.); (iii) conditions or incentives promoting improved reliability within the City; or (iv) other conditions not yet identified. The City may also wish to develop an annexation strategy for areas around and within the City (specifically the enclaves as discussed herein) that facilitates the development of an MEU at a future date.

NewGen partnered with Barr Engineering Company (Barr) and Duncan & Allen, LLP (Duncan & Allen), collectively the NewGen Project Team, to develop the assumptions, analyses, and recommendations for this Study. This report provides the results of the Study conducted by the NewGen Project Team. Feasibility Study The intent of this Feasibility Study and report was to develop a framework for the evaluation of various cost estimates and a discussion of the associated legal opinions and risks related to the creation of a Clearwater MEU. This Feasibility Study is presented to the City to determine if it is in the City’s best interests to establish a locally controlled Clearwater MEU. The analysis herein was designed to determine if the potential acquisition, start-up, and operation of the distribution assets within the MEU service territory could result in a lower annual “all-in” rate on a dollars per kilowatt hour ($/kWh) basis compared to Duke over a projected period of 30 years (2026–2055, defined as the Study Period). Feasibility Study Elements The following list highlights the Feasibility Study elements:  Define the potential Clearwater MEU service territory area, which includes areas beyond the current municipal boundary.  Determine estimated equipment quantities and their associated value to develop the Reproduction Cost New Less Depreciation (RCNLD) for the electric distribution system assets to be acquired from Duke, consistent with provisions of existing state law.  Determine an estimated purchase price for the acquisition of the electric distribution system, including going concern and other costs, consistent with provisions of existing state law.  Develop estimated wholesale power prices for the Clearwater MEU to purchase electricity from Duke under the provisions of an “all-requirements” contract, similar to those currently provided to MEUs within the state of Florida and as approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).  Develop estimated electric transmission costs based on both the assumptions regarding the usage characteristics for the collective Clearwater MEU service territory customers and the published Duke tariffs for wholesale transmission (Open Access Transmission Tariffs [OATT], as required by FERC).  Determine estimated start-up, financing, operations and maintenance (O&M), and administrative and general (A&G) costs utilizing publicly available data, information provided by Duke, and the NewGen Project Team’s professional experience. Determine non-operating costs, including a payment to Section 1 1-2 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report replace annual funds currently provided by Duke to local taxing jurisdictions to reduce the potential of negative impacts on government finances because of the creation of a potential Clearwater MEU.  Estimate and project annual operating and non-operating costs associated with the ownership and operation of a potential Clearwater MEU to develop an annual effective “all-in” rate for MEU service (i.e., total revenue requirement divided by total sales).  Estimate and project an annual effective “all-in” rate for continued Duke service based on an estimate of the composition of customer types within the Clearwater MEU, information provided by Duke, and information obtained from the most recent Duke rate proceedings at the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC).  Review, summarize, and provide an opinion regarding relevant federal and state legal and regulatory processes for the development and creation of a Clearwater MEU.  Prepare a report that presents the results of the Feasibility Study and present results to Clearwater City Council upon request. Feasibility Study Process The Feasibility Study process included a detailed field assessment of the Duke assets within and surrounding the City. This was accomplished by Barr representatives who were on site from January 3 to January 14, 2025. During this time, Barr conducted a sampling survey of the equipment types and a general assessment of the condition of the Duke electric delivery assets in the field. Around this time, the NewGen Project Team provided a data request to Duke for information on its assets in and around the City. Duke – Provided Data The NewGen Project Team submitted a data request to Duke on January 8, 2025. Subsequently, NewGen entered into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Duke to protect non-public data provided for this Study. Duke provided operations and customer class data for its electric customers within the municipal boundary of Clearwater based on its inventory data and Geographic Information System (GIS). The summary-level data provided herein represents information that was either publicly available or was derived from the confidential information provided by Duke. The information provided included billing data by customer class (which excluded customer-specific information) and coincident peak demands and their dates / times by month by rate class, including demands at the time of the Duke system peak and the time of the Clearwater system peak, as well as similar data for the non-coincident peaks by class. Further, Duke provided historical demand and energy loss data as well as projections of demand by rate code and rate class. Duke provided GIS maps for its distribution feeders that cross the Clearwater municipal boundary as well as information on the types and sizes of electrical equipment on its distribution systems within the City, including conductors, transformers, reclosers, capacitors, regulators, switches, and other related equipment, including electric meters. Duke also provided information on its distribution automation systems, including communications facilities, and equipment. Duke shared information regarding the existing substations (discussed in detail below) that included single-line diagrams, general arrangements and types of equipment within each substation, substation transformers and related equipment and transmission-related equipment, and information on specific equipment ratings and age. Age-related information on the assets provided by INTRODUCTION Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 1-3 Duke was limited due to historical practices for internal recordkeeping. Therefore, the age-related data was valid for the assets installed around the year 2000 and beyond, while the age-related data for assets installed prior to 2000 was estimated by Barr during their field assessment. Duke provided an on-site tour of its distribution system within the City to representatives of the NewGen Project Team on March 10, 2025. It should be noted that in our opinion, Duke’s willingness to provide detailed data on its operations, equipment, and customers within the Clearwater municipal boundary was unusual with respect to our history of performing similar types of feasibility studies. Generally, the incumbent utility is not responsive to data requests and is unwilling to provide any insight into its operations within a municipal jurisdiction. The level and degree of data provided by Duke increased the accuracy of our analysis, and therefore the results provided to the City are more robust than if the analysis were based solely on assumptions regarding the system data. We appreciate and commend Duke for its willingness to be open and transparent in providing its assistance with this Study. Purchase Cost Estimate / Methodology Any analysis of the feasibility of establishing an MEU must consider an estimate of a range of values for the acquisition of the Duke distribution assets, plus other associated costs anticipated to be incurred in the process of such an acquisition. If the City determines that establishing a MEU is feasible and chooses to move forward with this process, it must acquire Duke’s existing distribution-related assets. To accomplish this acquisition, the City will incur significant fees and costs. Florida law provides for three potential methods of acquisition of privately held assets by a public entity. These include a negotiated purchase and sale of assets, a franchise purchase option, and use of eminent domain. Duke has indicated that its assets are not available for a negotiated purchase, and the current franchise does not include a provision for a franchise purchase option. If the City utilizes statutory process of eminent domain, Section 73.0715 of the Florida state statute will control the legal basis for evaluation and determination of value for the assets to be acquired from Duke (F.S.A. § 73.0715). While Section 73.0715 applies specifically to condemnation proceedings, for over a century other Florida proceedings regarding the valuation of electric distribution systems, including franchise purchase options arbitrations, have routinely applied the RCNLD methodology. The RCNLD methodology is an estimate of the present costs to newly construct the electric facilities to be acquired (reproduction costs) to which the accumulated depreciation associated with the assets is applied. The accumulated depreciation is a discount to the cost value that is an estimate of the remaining useful life of the assets to be acquired. Key franchise purchase option rulings under Florida law that relied on the RCNLD methodology include the Orlando, Casselberry, Winter Park, South Daytona, and Bushnell arbitrations. Given this precedent, as well as the express rejection of other value techniques in both arbitration decisions and the statute, this Study utilized the RCNLD method to estimate the purchase costs for the City to acquire the distribution- related assets from Duke. In addition to the RCNLD costs of the distribution-related assets as discussed herein, the City’s cost to purchase these assets must also include other related costs. These include the fair market value of the interest of real value associated with the distribution-related facilities, the going concern value, and severance damages to the remainder of the Duke distribution system caused by the acquisition of these assets. Severance damages could include the separation and reintegration costs. These are costs for investments required to be made by the City to be able to electrically isolate the MEU and Duke electric distribution systems around the service territory area, as discussed in detail herein. Further severance costs may include payments made by the City for Duke’s distribution-related assets that the City does not Section 1 1-4 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report acquire but that would become isolated and unusable to Duke after the acquisition. Importantly, severance damages do not include stranded costs as defined by FERC, which would be unavailable to Duke in this case, as described more specifically herein. When using eminent domain (as opposed to a contractual franchise purchase option), the City must also consider attorney fees and expert costs, which can be significant. Under Florida’s eminent domain law, Duke is entitled to a 12-person jury trial, and the City would be responsible for paying not only its attorney fees and expert costs, but also Duke’s attorney fees and expert costs. Study Limitation The development of the estimated value of the distribution-related assets to be acquired by the City as determined for this Study should not be considered an appraisal of these assets. This Study did not include an indicator of value associated with a discounted cash flow (income approach) or an assessment of comparable sales (market approach). The RCNLD value, including other costs, developed herein is sufficient for the purposes of a feasibility study. If the City decides to move forward with the acquisition of the Duke distribution-related assets within the Clearwater MEU service territory, as defined herein, it is likely that a detailed appraisal of these assets will need to be conducted. Economics | Strategy | Stakeholders | Sustainability Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report Section 2 ACQUISITION COSTS / MEU SERVICE TERRITORY Description of Duke Assets As indicated, the NewGen Project Team developed an understanding of the electric delivery-related assets within and around the City based on information provided by Duke as well as an intensive field investigation. This process included detailed analysis and asset assessment of approximately seven separate and non-contiguous areas within the proposed Clearwater MEU service territory, which included areas along the northern portion of the City, an area adjacent to Old Tampa Bay, an area in close proximity to Highland Pines, the downtown area, an area south of downtown, and two distinct areas by the beach and Clearwater Bay (including portions of Clearwater Beach Island and Sand Key). The following is a description of the Duke assets that provide electrical service to customers within and around the City’s municipal boundary. There are ten electrical substations that serve distribution at 12.47 kilovolt (kV) and 7.2 kV loads located within the MEU service territory (see description below). Seven of these substations are located either to the north or the south of the City’s current municipal boundary (generally along Curlew Road on the north and Belleair Road on the south). Two of these substations (East Clearwater Substation and Bayview Substation) are located within “enclaves” that are unincorporated areas surrounded by the City. One substation, Clearwater Substation, is located within the City’s municipal boundary. There are approximately 31 distribution voltage feeders that originate within these three substations. Portions of these feeders serve load within the potential MEU service territory, and some serve areas beyond the MEU service territory. Duke did not provide detailed information on specific feeder routing, substation loads, and capacity utilization; therefore, it was assumed for the purposes of this Study that the MEU would acquire the entirety of the distribution assets in each of the three substations within its proposed service territory (specifically Clearwater Substation, East Clearwater Substation and Bayview Substation). The distribution assets within each substation include the power transformers and associated high-side isolation/protection devices as well as the distribution buses and the feeder breakers. To be clear, all transmission voltage assets (defined as 69 kV and above), including those within the MEU service territory, would remain the property of Duke. A detailed separation / reintegration plan would be required to construct facilities to serve the Clearwater MEU customers from these three substations and to serve Duke customers from the remaining seven substations (see Separation / Reintegration Plan section below). The NewGen Project Team, specifically Barr, created base-level GIS maps from satellite and aerial photography, field reconnaissance, and information provided by Duke. These maps, excluding confidential information, were utilized to estimate the field asset quantities. Figure 2-1 is a map of the City’s municipal boundary and the location of the three substations discussed above. Figure 2-2 is a map of the proposed MEU service territory. Figure 2-3 is a map of the sampled areas used to develop a detailed understanding of the assets of the entire MEU service territory (including a summary of the data collected from mapping and field investigations). Figure 2-4 provides a detailed map of one of the detailed sample areas on and around Pasadees Key, including the Clipper Cove and Island Estates communities.

Portion of Clearwater MEU Service Territory with Sample Assets (Source: Barr Engineering) The field review and data provided by Duke resulted in the development of an initial estimate of the size, type, and estimated age of assets within the potential Clearwater MEU area. A summary of the findings from the field review is provided in Table 2-1 below. Section 2 2-6 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report Table 2-1 Estimated Asset Quantities to be Acquired from Duke within the MEU Service Territory (1) FERC Account Description Quantity (ft. or units) (2) 362 Substations 3 364 Poles, Tower, and Fixtures 2,054,000 365 Overhead Conductors and Devices 2,054,000 366 Underground Conduit and Direct Burial Installations 129,500 367 Underground Conductors and Devices 129,500 368 Transformers 11,429 369 Services (3) 2,391,444 370 Meters 84,400 373 Streetlights and Decorative Poles 26,041 (1) Estimated asset quantities include facilities in the enclave areas based on 2025 values.

Figure 2-5 below is a picture of the existing Clearwater Substation (which is entirely within the City’s municipal boundary). Figure 2-5. Clearwater Substation ACQUISITION COSTS / MEU SERVICE TERRITORY Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 2-7 Clearwater MEU Service Territory As indicated in Figures 2-1 and 2-2, there are differences between the area of the City’s existing municipal boundary and the potential Clearwater MEU service territory. Most of these differences are due to the “enclaves” that are located within the City. These enclaves are areas that are legally outside of the City’s municipal boundary. However, residents and businesses located within these enclaves are served by the City’s primary municipal functions, including water and wastewater utility services, natural gas utility services, and first responder services. For the purposes of this Study, the NewGen Project Team assumed that these enclaves would be provided with electrical service by the potential Clearwater MEU. Based on calculations of the density of customers within the municipal boundary and the GIS mapping information provided and developed for this Study, the NewGen Project Team estimated that these enclave areas (and the greater MEU service territory) represent an approximate 20% increase to the electric load within the City boundary as well as a similar increase in assets. Therefore, the asset values and related valuation estimates provided herein were adjusted accordingly. Additionally, it was assumed that the customer classes and usage characteristics within these areas are similar to those within the existing municipal boundary (i.e., they are no different than the general composition of the customer class data provided by Duke for the City). In addition to the enclaves, the NewGen Project Team assumed an MEU service territory that generally includes “regular and reasonable” boundary (such as a linear segment of a main road) instead of the current irregular municipal boundary of the City. Asset Value The NewGen Project Team utilized the information provided by Duke and developed from the field and GIS inventories to produce an estimate of the value of the assets utilizing the RCNLD approach. RCNLD is an industry term for estimating the value associated with reproducing existing assets with the same or similar new equipment, adjusted to reflect accumulated physical depreciation of the actual assets. The NewGen Project Team used the field assessment and obtained budgetary information for the various new equipment, devices, and associated labor for installation. Cost estimates were developed using 2025 pricing estimates and were based on the Association of the Advancement of Cost Engineering’s (AACE) Class 5 Estimate, defined as within the range of -50% to +100%, which is an appropriate range of cost estimating for the purposes of this Study. The NewGen Project Team also developed an estimate of the age of the assets reviewed for the purpose of determining the amount of depreciation or useful life left within the system. This was based on a combination of data provided by Duke and our team’s professional experience. The results of the field investigation indicate that, on average, the equipment currently serving the MEU service territory area has incurred approximately 53% of accumulated depreciation relative to its useful life. For the purposes of this analysis, an estimate of adjusted RCNLD values as a potential purchase price was developed which is reflective of Florida statutes and court opinions regarding compensation for privately held assets by public entities. Estimates of accumulated depreciation were derived from industry survivor curves and applied to each class or group of assets as applicable. Table 2-2 provides a summary of the replacement costs, the accumulated depreciation, and the RCNLD values for each asset class by FERC account. The total RCN estimate was approximately $694 million whereas the RCNLD estimate was approximately $326 million. These values were adjusted to account for the estimated assets located within the larger Clearwater MEU service territory. The estimated accumulated depreciation for the MEU system was approximately 53% as of the time of this Study (i.e., 47% of the RCN value is remaining). In addition, for the purposes of this Study, the total estimated acquisition value was assumed to include an Section 2 2-8 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report adjustment for “going concern” based on internal discussions and a review of historical adjudicated cases in Florida in which a government entity obtained private utility assets (see the Legal/Regulatory Analysis section).

(2) Land / Easement estimated value derived from taxing authority records; land does not depreciate (see text). (3) Total Acquisition Value incorporates estimated value for going concern premium and land / easement value, excludes severance / reintegration cost estimate (see text). Value of Land, Easements, and Rights of Way To evaluate the potential value of land to be acquired by the Clearwater MEU, a review of the Pinellas County taxing authority’s records was conducted. The total taxable value of the collective properties in Pinellas County that are within the City taxing district was estimated to be approximately $12 million. This presumably includes the Duke Operations Center as well as other equipment and improvements made within the City, in addition to the land on which the electrical distribution and other equipment is located. The property records state that these properties are for the “Electric Power Company (Florida Power, Tampa Elec.) Easement, Office & Sub-Station.” For the purposes of this Study, a detailed examination to determine the value of each property parcel within the City was not conducted, nor was precise title information associated with each parcel reviewed. Rather, the taxable value as recorded by the tax assessor’s office of Pinellas County was utilized as a proxy for the value of the land and easements to be acquired. This value, estimated to be approximately $12 million, was added to the estimated acquisition price as presented in Table 2-2. It is recognized that the taxable value of the improvement and land for each parcel may or may not be reflective of their fair market value. The taxable value may overstate or may understate the fair market value of these assets. If the City pursues development of the Clearwater MEU, a detailed appraisal of the assets to be acquired, including the value of the land in easements and in fee, will likely need to be conducted. This Study assumed that the electric distribution lines are located in the municipal rights of way, which are already owned by the City. Therefore, no additional specific value was ascribed to the rights of way for the purposes of this Study. Section 2 2-10 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report Clearwater MEU Electric Load Duke provided a 10-year forecast for electric load for its entire operations in Florida. This included an increase in the total number of customers served but no increase in the energy usage per customer served. This is a reasonable assumption given the general increase in energy efficiency appliances / programs and increased participation in distributed (on-site) generation, which may offset the general increase in electrical usage due to electric vehicles and other electrification efforts. The NewGen Project Team utilized the growth projections for customers to apply to the number of customers within the Clearwater MEU service territory to determine an estimate of the total usage over the Study period. The number of electric service customers within the MEU service territory in 2026 was estimated to be approximately 87,000. Table 2-3 provides a summary of the customers and load by customer class for 2026. Table 2-3 2026 Estimated Number of Customers and Load for Clearwater MEU Service Territory (1) Customer Class Number of Customers kWh/Month/ Customer Total Annual kWh Sales (2026) Residential 75,944 891 811,933,529 Commercial 10,212 6,352 778,428,925 Industrial 77 54,818 50,405,231 Public Authority 743 15,252 135,903,084 Lighting 464 327 1,820,497 Total 87,440 1,778,491,267 (1) Estimated customers and load by class based on information provided by Duke (see text). 2026 Average Effective Retail Rate The NewGen Project Team determined the average effective all-in retail rate for customers within the Clearwater MEU service territory from an analysis of average effective retail rates published by Duke by customer class as a result of the settlement agreement with the Florida PSC in March 2025 (Docket No. 202400025-EI). This settlement docket provided published rate increases by Duke for 2025, 2026, and 2027. Based on a historical analysis of FPSC-approved rates for Duke, it was assumed that beyond 2027, Duke rates will increase at the general rate of inflation of 2.2% as published by Blue Chip Economic Indicators, Inc. ACQUISITION COSTS / MEU SERVICE TERRITORY Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 2-11 Table 2-4 provides a summary of the analysis developed for the Duke average effective all-in retail rate by customer class for the Clearwater MEU service territory for 2026. This analysis was based on the total retail sales for each customer class times the various rate components included in Duke’s published tariff, divided by the total average annual electrical load (in kWh). This included base rates as well as the various rate adjustments, taxes, and riders applicable to customers within the City.

Severance / Reintegration Plan As indicated herein, if the Clearwater MEU were formed from the existing Duke distribution assets, it would be incumbent on the City to develop and implement a detailed severance and reintegration plan that would allow for two distinct distribution systems to operate independently. A preliminary estimate of the cost of such a severance / reintegration plan to allow for this configuration was included in the financial analysis for the purposes of this Study. A detailed severance / reintegration plan should be developed if the City decides to move forward with the development of the Clearwater MEU. This plan would detail the costs and investments required to allow for reliable electric service for customers who are served by the Clearwater MEU (within the MEU service territory) and for customers who continue to be served by Duke (beyond the MEU service territory but from infrastructure within that area). To be clear, the development of a detailed severance / reintegration plan was not part of this Study; however, an estimate of the costs associated with severance and reintegration was included as part of the projected Clearwater MEU revenue requirement. To effectively sever and reintegrate the system, the City would need to make improvements and install equipment at various locations within the MEU service territory. The substation construction would include new control enclosures as well as switching, interrupting, metering, and protection equipment to isolate each substation power transformer high voltage primary connection from the transmission system buses. The distribution system would require construction of overhead and underground distribution lines around the border of the MEU service territory to serve Duke customers outside the border and MEU customers inside the border. Additionally, this distribution construction plan would need to include feeders to connect the border feeder circuits to different substations as necessary. Section 2 2-12 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report Long-Range Capital Plan As the owner and operator of the Clearwater MEU, the City would need to establish a detailed process to invest in the system assets as soon as they are acquired from Duke. Typically, this process involves the development of a detailed “Long-Range Capital Plan.” For the purposes of this Study, the NewGen Project Team assumed a “high-level” long-range capital investment plan that covered a 20-year period. This capital plan would be intended to replace aging facilities and add new construction to address load growth within the Clearwater MEU service territory. The plan was based on the assessed age and condition of the existing facilities as developed for this Study and used new reproduction cost estimates for the assets to be replaced based on 2025 costs (and escalated at inflation). To be clear, the development of a detailed Long-Range Capital Plan was not part of this Study; however, an estimate of the costs associated with future capital investments was included as part of the projected Clearwater MEU revenue requirement Specific facility improvements include those to the distribution substations to be acquired by the City, which would require equipment replacements based on their current age and condition relatively early during the Study period (estimated at Year 5) and ongoing replacements over time. The assumption for distribution investment was the addition of the equivalent of one substation at Year 15 to address future growth. Other equipment to be replaced would include overhead distribution facilities (approximately 30% of existing facilities over the Study period), underground distribution facilities (replacement of 10% of existing cables and devices in Years 10 to 20), overhead and pad-mounted distribution transformers (approximately 20% of existing facilities over the Study period), and service conductors (approximately 5% of the existing facilities over the Study period). The distribution plan also included replacing approximately 20% of existing smart grid meters in the first 5 years, then the remainder of the smart grid meters over Years 6–20 and approximately 20% of the streetlights over the Study period. All these investments were projected to increase with system growth by approximately 10% over the next 20 years. Further, the projected capital investments included adding a new distribution automation system in the first 5 years as well as equipment for a new control center in the first 2 years after the creation of the Clearwater MEU. Clearwater MEU Organizational Structure There are a variety of organizational structures that the City could consider when developing an MEU. The two most likely organizations are a department of the City or a Utility Authority / Commission. Each organizational structure has advantages and disadvantages relative to operations, management, rate setting, and other considerations. The City has owned and operated a natural gas utility in the region since 1923. Currently known as “CGS Energy,” the utility supplies natural gas distribution services to approximately 28,000 customers across northern and central Pinellas County and western Pasco County. CGS Energy’s organizational infrastructure provides the City with a potential opportunity to leverage the operational expertise; organizational mindset; and especially the accounting, finance, billing, and management infrastructure to stand up and operate a potential MEU. An electric department of the City can generally be formed by ordinance and/or other action of the City. Forming the MEU as a department would allow the new utility to take advantage of the finance, accounting, and billing systems and the institutional knowledge inherent in CGS Energy. As a department of the City, the strategic direction of the potential MEU could be influenced by the policy directives of the City Council. This could relate to the costs of operations, including future capital investments (see discussion of undergrounding select distribution assets), as well as cost recovery policies (i.e. the rate- setting process for each customer rate class). Some municipal entities place value on the ability of their ACQUISITION COSTS / MEU SERVICE TERRITORY Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 2-13 Council to provide policy input to the MEU’s overall mission and strategies, whereas some entities prefer to reduce the “political risk” that can be associated with the rate-setting process. It is our understanding that special utility authorities or commissions in Florida may either be formed by a county or a municipality, according to state statutes. Such an entity may be either considered “independent,” with a Board of Directors (Board) elected by those who live within the service area, or “dependent,” with a Board appointed by another political entity, such as the City. Such a structure may provide the City with flexibility to maintain the mission and overall strategy of the authority or commission (if a dependent board is created), or it could insulate the operations of the utility from the City with an independent board. Operating the MEU as an authority or commission, however, would generally preclude the ability of the City to leverage the synergies previously discussed with CGS Energy. Regardless of the structure of the Clearwater MEU, the organization must be formed to effectively provide for planning, operations, and financial solvency. In our opinion, the current form of CGS Energy seems to be both viable and fairly typical of utilities with which we are familiar. If the Clearwater MEU were formed as a City department, the finance, accounting, and billing operations of CGS Energy could potentially be shared, providing significant synergies and potentially reducing costs for the Clearwater MEU operations. MEU Implementation Creating a Clearwater MEU is not without risks to the City. These risks may include legal challenges by Duke to the assumptions developed herein as well as to the overall process to obtain the assets and establish a Clearwater MEU. The acquisition of physical assets generally makes it more difficult for an opponent of municipal utility implementation to impede that implementation, while judicial or administrative proceedings generally provide an opponent of municipalization with opportunities to impose cost and delay and to impede the municipal utility’s implementation. Florida state statute governing the acquisition of private assets by a public entity provides some certainty in the process of forming an MEU for the City. However, this process may be lengthy and would require significant fees and costs to the City. These costs, as identified herein, are subject to interpretation and may vary significantly from the estimates used to develop this Study. Further, if the City were successful in acquiring the Duke distribution-related assets through an eminent domain action, it would be responsible for not only its attorney fees and costs, but also the attorney fees and expert costs incurred by Duke in the process. Economics | Strategy | Stakeholders | Sustainability Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report Section 3 LEGAL/REGULATORY ANALYSIS Relevant State Law Considerations Florida state law (Section 73.0715) includes a provision for the valuation of electric utility property for entities that seek to appropriate privately held assets. Specifically, this section of state law indicates that a 12-person jury will determine the amount of compensation to be paid for acquisition of “property used for the generation, transmission or distribution of electric energy.” The compensation is defined as to include the reproduction cost of the property, less depreciation, together with going concern value. Further, the statute indicates that when less than the entire property is sought to be appropriated, any damages to the remainder caused by the taking will be included in the compensation. For the purposes of this Study, the Florida state law’s valuation language was interpreted to mean that the asset valuation is based on the estimated RCNLD values utilized herein. As indicated, these values were adjusted to reflect the going concern value stated in the statute, based on discussions with the City. Because the City is contemplating taking only a portion of the Duke property (only the areas within the proposed MEU service territory), the “damages” were assumed to be equal to the costs estimated for the severance and reintegration (see Section 2). More specifically, the state statute does not include a provision for stranded costs, which was assumed to be unavailable to Duke as discussed herein. To be clear, the analysis prepared for this Study was developed as an estimate of the potential value of the assets to be acquired by the City in the formation of the Clearwater MEU. This Study was not designed as, nor does it proport to be, a detailed valuation or appraisal of the assets to be acquired by the City. Such a detailed valuation and appraisal may be required if the City decides to move forward with the development of the Clearwater MEU. Relevant Federal Regulation of Electric Utilities Under Part II of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. §§ 824-828c), FERC regulates (i) the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce and (ii) the sale of electric energy at wholesale in interstate commerce (16 U.S.C. § 824(b)(1) to the extent that these activities are undertaken by a “public utility,” an expression which means a person who owns or operates facilities subject to the jurisdiction of FERC under FPA Part II (16 U.S.C. § 824(e)). The expression “public utility” in the FPA does not include, as far as is relevant to this discussion, “the United States, a State, or any political subdivision of a State, . . . or any agency, authority, or instrumentality of any one or more of the foregoing, or any corporation which is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by any one or more of the foregoing, or any officer, agent, or employee of any of the foregoing” because those entities are exempted from FPA Part II unless a specific provision of that statute makes specific reference to such an entity. In general, the Clearwater MEU would be exempted by Section 201(f) of the Federal Power Act from certain provisions of the Federal Power Act (notably, Sections 205 and 206) and related regulations, with the exceptions related to reliability, registration requirements, and other administrative matters. Specifically, the Clearwater MEU would not be subject to rate regulation by FERC; however, it is possible that it could be subject to certain regulations established by FERC governing the acquisition and management of utility assets by municipal electric utilities. Section 3 3-2 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report This section of the Study addressed federal regulatory issues that may affect the City’s proposed formation of the Clearwater MEU. These issues include (1) access to transmission services, (2) claims to compensation for “stranded costs” by Duke, and (3) the City’s ability to secure wholesale power supply from Duke following the formation and activation of an MEU. Open Access Transmission In 1996, FERC adopted a Rule that brought investor-owned and municipal utilities into more direct contact in the area of electricity transmission. First, in its initial Open Access Rule1 fortified by two subsequent rulemakings,2 FERC established the obligation of investor-owned transmission-owning utilities subject to its jurisdiction to provide tariff-based “Open Access” transmission service to all Eligible Customers.3 Concomitantly, FERC imposed the obligation on non-jurisdictional consumer-owned utilities exempted by FPA Section 201(f) to provide “reciprocal” open access transmission service over their transmission facilities as a condition of obtaining open access service over the facilities of their investor-owned neighbors. One immediate concern raised by investor-owned utilities concerning FERC’s open access transmission directive was that the mandatory open access service required by FERC’s new open access regime could be used by existing and newly formed municipal utilities to escape from long-term wholesale or retail power supply obligations to take service from other suppliers using the transmission system of their incumbent former suppliers. To avoid the possibility that such a rush to the exits might leave incumbent utility shareholders, or the less agile customers of the incumbent utility, at a disadvantage, FERC’s Open Access Rule established that incumbent transmission-owning utilities could recover “stranded costs” from departing retail-turned-wholesale customers. Should the City decide to proceed with the formation of an MEU, it would very likely need to apply for and obtain network transmission service under Duke FERC-filed OATT. That process would involve (1) an application for network integration transmission service, (2) a system impact study, (3) a facilities study, 1 See Promoting Wholesale Competition Through Open Access Non-Discriminatory Transmission Services by Public Utilities; Recovery of Stranded Costs by Public Utilities and Transmitting Utilities, Order No. 888, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,036 (1996), order on reh'g, Order No. 888-A, (1997), FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,048, at p. 30,508, 78 FERC ¶ 61,220 (1997), order on reh'g, Order No. 888-B, 81 FERC ¶ 61,248 (1997), order on reh'g, Order No. 888-C, 82 FERC ¶ 61,046 (1998), review den. sub nom.

These processes are outlined in Sections 28 through 35 of the Joint Open Access Transmission Tariff of Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, Duke Energy Florida, LLC, and Duke Energy Progress, LLC, and can be explored in greater depth as the City’s plans develop. As indicated herein, it was assumed for the purposes of this Study that the Clearwater MEU would obtain transmission- level service from Duke through its published OATT. Stranded Costs “Stranded costs” is a term of art and regulation applied in the context of electric deregulation. For the sole purpose of explanation, an abbreviated explanation of stranded costs is provided herein, specifically how those costs are calculated and other relevant matters. We are of the opinion, however, that in the context of the development of the Clearwater MEU, stranded costs would not apply, and therefore such costs have not been included in this Study. First, the City would likely purchase wholesale power from Duke. Under such circumstances, there would be no stranded costs under Florida law.4 Second, in the context of an eminent domain proceeding, Duke would not be entitled to stranded costs. As previously indicated, the state statute (F.S.A. § 73.0715) only provides for the award of severance damages, not stranded costs. Third, Duke does not qualify for stranded costs as a part of “damages to the remainder” or “severance damages.” Florida courts have long defined “any damages to the remainder caused by the taking” to mean “severance damages.” The statute does not provide for business damages under any circumstance. Thus, Duke would not be entitled to stranded costs as a form of business damages. Finally, Duke would be entitled to severance damages and an estimate of those damages as allowable under Florida law was included in the analysis developed for this Study (see separation / reintegration Plan discussion herein). In our opinion, such severance damages would not include stranded costs. To be clear, for the purposes of this Study, it was assumed that there would be no valid stranded costs applicable to the City’s purchase of the distribution system from Duke. This is because it was assumed that the Clearwater MEU would continue to utilize the generation and transmission assets of Duke for its power supply and power delivery needs. These services would be provided to the Clearwater MEU under the applicable FERC established rules and regulations. Further, the City’s likely course of action for potential acquisition would be through the state’s eminent domain statue (F.S.A. § 73.0175) which does not include consideration of stranded costs in its definition of acquisition value. Wholesale stranded costs attributable to a municipalization are defined in FERC’s Stranded Cost Rule as “any legitimate, prudent, and verifiable cost incurred by a public utility or a transmitting utility to provide service to . . . [a] retail customer that subsequently becomes, either directly or through another wholesale transmission purchaser, an unbundled wholesale transmission services customer of such public utility or transmitting utility.”5 Notwithstanding the breadth implied by the word “any” in the rule, FERC has clarified in case law that “by the use of the term ‘stranded costs,’ the Commission throughout Order No. 888 was referring to generation-based stranded costs: that is, the costs associated with generating units built to serve 4 City of So. Daytona, Fla., 137 FERC ¶ 61,183 at PP 28–42 (2011). 5 18 C.F.R. § 35.26(b)(1)(ii). Section 3 3-4 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report customers, which costs may become stranded if, as a result of open access, these customers left the utility’s system to take power service from a competing power supplier.”6 In addition to these kinds of threshold issues, and again as discussed in greater detail below, defenses to and mitigation against exposure to “stranded cost” claims by incumbent utilities arise under FERC’s “stranded cost” compensation formula set forth in FERC’s Stranded Cost Rule (18 C.F.R. § 35.26). That formula appears at 18 C.F.R. § 35.26(c)(2)(iii) and is expressed as 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 = (𝑅𝑅𝑆𝑆𝑅𝑅−𝑆𝑆𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑅𝑅)∗𝐿𝐿 where:  SCO means stranded cost obligation.  RSE means revenue stream estimate, or the amount of gross revenue that the incumbent utility would have earned from the products of generating capacity used to supply the relevant customer(s) (retail- turned-wholesale customers in this case) over a given period of time, had open access transmission service over that utility’s transmission facilities not been used to disrupt its earnings expectations.  CMVE means competitive market value estimate, which is the market value of the same generating capacity used to calculate RSE in the market or markets in which that generating capacity will be marketed following the departure of the relevant customer(s) from the incumbent utility’s power supply system.  L means Length of Obligation, or the period of time over which the incumbent utility had a reasonable expectation of continuing to serve the departing customer(s). The stranded cost obligation of the departing customer cannot exceed the revenue that the departing customer would have contributed to the incumbent utility had they remained a customer of the incumbent utility. Some of the means of mitigating or avoiding stranded cost exposure under FERC’s stranded cost formula and its individual elements are discussed in greater detail below. Preliminarily, the City may wish to consider implementing its potential future retail-turned-wholesale customer relationship with Duke using the strategy suggested by FERC’s decision in City of South Daytona, 137 FERC ¶ 61,183 at PP 28–42 (2011) (holding that a newly formed municipal electric utility would have no stranded cost exposure to its formerly incumbent retail power supplier where it continued to purchase its wholesale requirements from the former incumbent utility). The implications of the City of South Daytona case are discussed below. In the context of the “retail-turned-wholesale-customer” (FERC’s expression for municipalizations in its Open Access rulemakings), FERC has stated that: We indicated in Order No. 888 that if the state has permitted any recovery from departing retail-turned-wholesale customers, such amount will not be stranded for purposes of this Rule. We will deduct that amount from the costs for which the utility will be allowed to seek recovery under this Rule from the Commission. In so doing, however, we are not second-guessing the states as to what a utility may recover under state law. Additionally, 6 AES Somerset LLC v. Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., 105 FERC ¶ 61,337 at P 45 (2003), reh’g denied, 110 FERC ¶ 61,032 (2005), aff’d sub nom. Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. v. FERC, 452 F.3d 822 (D.C. Cir. 2006). LEGAL/REGULATORY ANALYSIS Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 3-5 we will give great weight in our proceedings to a state's view of what might be recoverable.7 Addressing and Mitigating Stranded Cost Claims Stranded costs are those “costs associated with generating units built to serve customers, which costs may become stranded if, as a result of open access, these customers left the utility’s system to take power service from a competing power supplier.”8 At some risk of oversimplification, in a “stranded costs” case, the incumbent utility seeks to recover the fixed costs associated with the portion of its electric generation capacity it reasonably planned to use to continue to serve customers now served by the newly formed municipal utility. Stranded costs do not include fuel or variable O&M costs because those costs would only be incurred if the generation in question were operating to serve the departing customers. FERC’s Stranded Cost Rule (18 C.F.R. § 35.26(c)(1)(vii)) typically provides for the recovery of stranded costs as a form of surcharge to the transmission rates charged by the former incumbent utility to the new municipal utility Two observations are in order here. First, FERC made it clear in its Stranded Cost Rule that it prefers that parties negotiate and provide by contract for the resolution of stranded cost issues arising at the expiration of a contractual relationship. This may or may not prove possible in the predictably contentious context of what FERC calls a retail-turned-wholesale customer situation. However, negotiation is sometimes worth the effort and, as noted above, the term of the City’s franchise to Duke may provide the City with some leverage in such a negotiation. Second, quantification of the incumbent utility’s capacity situation is important to the resolution of a number of factual issues in connection with stranded cost issues. State utility regulatory agencies typically require utilities subject to their jurisdiction to report periodically on their generating capacity and forecasted electric demand to ensure that sufficient generating capacity is available to supply anticipated demand. Florida is no exception. F.S.A. § 186.801 requires each Florida electric utility to “submit to the Public Service Commission a 10-year site plan which shall estimate its power-generating needs and the general location of its proposed power plant sites.” The PSC’s regulations (F.A.C. §§ 25-22.071 and 25- 22.072) require the 10-year site plan (TYSP) to be filed annually. The periodic reports filed by the utilities are typically heavily redacted for reasons of claimed commercial sensitivity, but the City can and probably should require Duke (as part of its franchise obligations) to make the information available to the City. Considerations Affecting the Retail-Turned-Wholesale-Full-Requirements Power Supply Relationship As noted above, FERC’s declaratory ruling in City of South Daytona, 137 FERC ¶ 61,183 (2011) suggests that one direct way to moot the issue of stranded costs is simply to enter into a wholesale full requirements contract with the formerly incumbent utility (in this case, Duke) effective upon the activation of the municipal electric utility. By entering into a wholesale full requirements relationship with Duke, the City would effectively eliminate any contention that its formation of a municipal utility and entry into a network integration service transmission relationship with Duke would create Duke generation 7 Order No. 888-A, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,048 at p. 30,405. See also Order No. 888, FERC Stats. & Regs.¶ 31,036, at p. 31,819. 8 AES Somerset LLC v.

Cir. 2006); 18 C.F.R. § 35.26(b). Section 3 3-6 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report costs that were “stranded” by the municipalization. This approach raises some subsidiary questions that are worth further exploration. These questions include:  What can Duke charge the City for wholesale requirements power supply?  Could Duke withhold power supply from the City? FERC allows investor-owned utilities to make power sales at market-based (negotiated) rates if the seller and its affiliates do not have, or have adequately mitigated, horizontal and vertical market power.9 Due to its control of a substantial majority of the electric generating resources within its Balancing Authority Area, Duke Energy Florida has substantial market power—the ability to control prices or to foreclose competition10—within that Balancing Authority Area (which is essentially coextensive with its State- authorized electric service territory). As a result of this market power, Duke does not have FERC authorization to sell power at negotiated (or “market-based”) rates in its own Balancing Authority Area, in which the City of Clearwater is located.11 Duke is therefore required to sell power at cost-based rates within its Balancing Authority Area. Duke’s Wholesale Cost-Based Power Sales Tariff Duke’s cost-based power sales tariff (Duke Energy Florida LLC, Cost-Based Rates Tariff, CBR, FERC Electric Tariff No. 9 (CR-1)) was originally filed by Duke’s predecessor, Florida Power Corporation, in 199612 and was most recently updated in 2023.13 The Duke rate tariff covers wholesale service within Duke’s Balancing Authority Area and essentially tracks the same generation cost of service components, including an approved return on equity, that comprise the costs recovered under Duke’s retail rates. Section 3.6 of Duke’s FERC Electric Tariff No. 9 (CR-1) limits the availability of service to 751 megawatts (MW) of electric demand. This limitation appears to have been based on Duke’s calculation of generating capacity available on its system that is in excess of its peak retail and existing wholesale demand. For this reason, the tariff’s limitation on availability of supply would need to be adjusted upward to reflect the City’s departure from Duke’s retail supply obligations in the event that the City decides to proceed with municipalization. Ability to Refuse Wholesale Service FERC has observed that, in contrast to a public utility’s obligation to provide retail electric service, “there is no express obligation to serve wholesale customers under the Federal Power Act, and any obligation by a utility to provide service beyond those defined by contract will stem from the inability of the wholesale customer to obtain access to alternative suppliers.” (Pac. Gas & Elec. Co., 42 FERC ¶ 61,406 at 62,196 n. 14 [1988], citing Electric Rates, Construction Work in Progress, Anticompetitive Implications; Rate Schedule Filing, Order No. 474-A, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 30,765, at 30,816–30, 818 [1987]).

LEGAL/REGULATORY ANALYSIS Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 3-7 stranded cost recovery to provide cost-based service at wholesale prices would likely prove fatal to a stranded cost claim. This is because as generous to incumbent utilities as FERC’s stranded cost policies may be, a refusal to provide cost-based wholesale power service would demonstrate that the formerly incumbent utility has no truly “stranded” generation costs. For this reason, should the City decide to proceed with municipal utility formation, a refusal by Duke to provide cost-based wholesale power supply may be theoretically possible but would defeat any claim for stranded costs. Asset Acquisition Considerations FERC regulates the merger, sale, transfer, or other disposition of those facilities of public utilities that are “subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission” under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. § 824b), which generally prohibits the sale, lease, merger, purchase, acquisition, or other disposition of such facilities without a FERC order authorizing such action. The concept of facilities subject to FERC’s jurisdiction has long been construed to cast a wide net.14 Generally, it must be shown that the facilities transfer will have no adverse effect on remaining customers. In Public Service Co. of Colorado, 147 FERC ¶ 61,228 at PP 32–37 (2014), FERC determined that the transfer of title to electric transmission facilities proposed to be acquired by condemnation would require FERC’s authorization under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act. As this holding would predictably add a layer of regulatory complication to the already substantial effort involved in state law eminent domain proceedings, it is generally best to avoid seeking to acquire FERC-jurisdictional transmission facilities through state statute processes if other means of municipal utility formation are available. For the purposes of this Study, it was assumed that the City and the Clearwater MEU would not acquire nor operate FERC-jurisdictional transmission facilities. NERC Reliability Regions The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is a not-for-profit international regulatory authority whose mission is to assure the effective and efficient reduction of risks to the reliability and security of the grid. NERC develops and enforces Reliability Standards; annually assesses seasonal and long-term reliability; monitors the bulk power system through system awareness; and educates, trains, and certifies industry personnel. NERC oversees the entirety of the continental United States, Canada, and the northern portion of Baja California, Mexico, and is subject to oversight by FERC and governmental authorities in Canada. NERC's jurisdiction includes users, owners, and operators of the bulk power system, which serves nearly 400 million people. NERC’s jurisdiction is managed by six regional entities, including the Southeastern Electric Reliability Corporation (SERC), which includes the entirety of the state of Florida. The former Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC) still operates as a Reliability Coordinator and Planning Authority, and interfaces with the FPSC, including acting as the State Capacity Emergency Coordinator, compiling State Load and Resource Data, preparing reliability assessments, and presenting the FRCC Ten Year Site Plan. In addition, FRCC continues to be a FERC Transmission Planning Region. 14 See Hartford Elec. Lt. Co. v. Fed. Pwr. Comm’n, 131 F.2d 953, 961–962 (2nd Cir. 1942) (facilities subject to the jurisdiction of FERC’s predecessor agency, the Federal Power Commission, held to include both a utility’s “corporate organization, contracts, accounts, memoranda, papers and other records, in so far as they are utilized in connection with such sales” of electric energy at wholesale in interstate commerce, as well as generation facilities “to the extent they are used in such sales”). Section 3 3-8 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report If the City were to establish the Clearwater MEU, it is likely that the entity would be required to become part of the SERC / FRCC. This would likely require personnel at the Clearwater MEU to be familiar with the requirements of the reliability regions as well as the transmission planning regions. For the purposes of this Study, the costs for such personnel were not estimated individually, but were assumed to be included within the Clearwater MEU A&G costs for operations. Franchise Agreement with Duke Energy Florida The City is currently operating under an electric Franchise Agreement with Duke which expires on December 7, 2025. This contract was originally signed with Florida Power Corporation and was assigned to Duke during its merger with Progress Energy in 2012. As of the date of this Study, the City has not entered into contract negotiations with Duke. The Franchise Agreement, formally City Ordinance No. 5944-95, provides Duke a non-exclusive electric utility franchise to occupy municipal streets and rights of ways in the City for the purposes of providing electric and power services, and provides the terms and conditions for the grant of franchise, and the effective date of the franchise. The franchise agreement provides the basis for the franchise fee payment, which is equal to 6% of the base rate revenues collected from customers within the City municipal limits. The franchise fee payment is the total compensation due to the City for the rights provided to Duke to occupy the municipal streets and rights of way. The Franchise Agreement states that the rights and privileges granted by the franchise will not be sold or assigned without the City’s written approval. Further, the Franchise Agreement indicates that in the event that the City “acquires the property rights” of Duke (Grantee), “as well as any extensions thereof within and without the City, used in or useful in or connected with” Duke’s Electric Utility System and extensions hereof, all grants or renewable shall at once terminate. This suggests that if the City were to acquire the distribution system within the City, the Franchise Agreement, regardless of its renewal status, would no longer be in effect. Economics | Strategy | Stakeholders | Sustainability Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report Section 4 FINANCIAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT The NewGen Project Team developed a financial model to determine the financial feasibility of creating an MEU for the City of Clearwater. The financial model developed an annual estimated “revenue requirement” for the Clearwater MEU which is the estimated cash needs of the utility as described herein. The projected revenues recovered from retail rates through the sales of electricity to the Clearwater MEU customers were assumed to be equal to the revenue requirement on an annual basis. The annual revenue requirement was equal to the sum of the operating expenses, the non-operating expenses, and the cash required for operating reserves. The total revenue requirement was divided by the total sales to determine an effective “all-in average system rate” for the Clearwater MEU. Similarly, an effective average “all-in” system rate was determined from an analysis of Duke rates reflective of the customer mix estimated within the MEU service territory as provided in Table 2-4. The effective “all-in” rate developed for Duke customers within the Clearwater MEU included the various retail rate components (customer, energy, demand, and other charges) multiplied by the appropriate billing determinants (number of customers, energy usage, etc.). This total revenue value was divided by the total energy sales to determine a “$/kWh” rate utilized for feasibility and comparative purposes for this Study. The financial model compared the annual average system rates over the Study period (2026– 2055). A summary of the financial model results for all years of analysis is provided in Appendix A. The financial model assumed an “overnight” conversion to an MEU, which does not recognize the time required for the City to acquire Duke’s assets. The time required to fully acquire Duke’s assets, including severance and reintegration, could vary; it would likely be a long process that could take several years to complete. For the purposes of this Study, a start date of 2026 was a reasonably simplifying assumption and allowed for a comparison of the estimated all-in Clearwater MEU rates with those published and readily available from Duke. Additionally, the reproduction cost data utilized for this Study was based on current year dollars (2025), which allowed for more certainty in the estimated costs to acquire the distribution-related assets from Duke, including cost estimates for severance and reintegration. It is prudent to evaluate the feasibility of acquiring the Duke assets on the best information available at the time of the Study, as market conditions in the utility space and in the general economy can change dramatically from year to year. Such economic changes could serve to benefit or could negatively impact the financial feasibility of this Study. Therefore, the City is best served by relying on the most recent available data and information in making its decision whether to move forward with the formation of the Clearwater MEU. If the City decides to move forward with this effort, a reasonable timeframe for the establishment of a Clearwater MEU would need to be developed for subsequent analyses. Table 4-1 summarizes the cost items included in the financial model for the first year of analysis (2026), and these items are further discussed herein. The average effective all-in retail rate for Duke within the MEU service territory was the result of the average rates developed in Table 2-4 and thereafter by an annual rate of inflation (2.2%). As mentioned above, the annual average Clearwater MEU effective “all- in” rate was the result of the total revenue requirements, including operating and non-operating expenses, annual debt service, and financial reserves, divided by the total projected load (sales) for the MEU service territory. The NewGen Project Team estimated operating expenses for the Clearwater MEU based on information derived from public Duke financial filings with federal and state agencies; these expenses were generally assumed to increase at the rate of inflation. As indicated, the projected increase Section 4 4-2 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report in the number of customers within the MEU service territory was estimated based on information provided by Duke. The annual investment required by the City to maintain and upgrade the distribution system was estimated based on the condition of the distribution assets as determined by Barr.

Financial Model Assumptions The NewGen Project Team developed a series of assumptions that were incorporated into the financial feasibility model created for this Study. These were categorized as assumptions related to the acquisition FINANCIAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 4-3 of the Duke distribution assets, the initial operation of the Clearwater MEU, and the continued operation of the utility over the Study period. A summary of these assumptions is provided below. Acquisition Costs for Distribution Assets As indicated in Section 1, the distribution assets to be acquired for the creation of the Clearwater MEU include the distribution systems and associated equipment necessary to serve the various customers within the MEU service territory. Based on discussions with the City, the NewGen Project Team assumed that the distribution assets to be acquired would be valued at RCNLD, inclusive of land value and “going concern,” as presented in Table 2-2. As part of establishing an MEU, the City would need to acquire three electrical substations to take service at transmission-level voltage and distribute power to the customers within the MEU service territory. These substations include Clearwater Substation (Figure 2-5), East Clearwater Substation, and Bayview Substation (all of which are shown in Figure 2-1). The City would need to acquire all the remaining equipment that conveys, transforms, or otherwise manages the power at the distribution level within the MEU service territory. Table 2-2 provides a summary of the equipment to be acquired. For the purposes of the feasibility analysis, it was assumed that the MEU would be able to finance the acquisition cost of the Duke assets over a 30-year period utilizing taxable debt. Based on discussions with the City, the taxable debt interest rate utilized for this analysis was assumed to be 6.5% per year. It was anticipated that the MEU could issue non-taxable debt as a municipal entity for its ongoing cash needs. However, for this Study, it was assumed that for the purpose of acquiring the privately held assets (i.e., Duke’s distribution system), the City would issue taxable debt as a funding mechanism. Initial Clearwater MEU Operation The initial operation of the Clearwater MEU would require a source of cash to fund various activities prior to, and within, the first six months of operations. After this initial period, it was assumed that rate revenue from retail energy sales would support the cash needs of the MEU. For the purposes of the financial analysis, it was assumed that there are three general categories of initial operations costs: those associated with the start-up of the Clearwater MEU prior to operations, those associated with the projected cash needs (financial reserves), and those associated with the severance and reintegration costs (discussed in Section 2). The regulatory and professional services were assumed to include attorney fees, consultant fees, regulatory fees, and other fees/charges to support the transaction of the acquisition. The total cash estimated to be necessary for the regulatory / professional services was approximately $15 million. For this Study, quotes were not solicited from professional service providers and potential costs for licensing or other fees with local, state, or federal governmental entities for these services were not investigated, and estimates herein were based on professional experience. Additionally, it was assumed that the Clearwater MEU would require a Municipal Operations Center facility to house staff, management, information technology (IT) systems, and distribution equipment and related plant, and to serve as a payment center for customers. Based on discussions with the City, the estimated cost for a Municipal Operations Center was approximately $30 million. The other cash needs for the Clearwater MEU prior to and during the start-up period included a requirement for estimated A&G plant (vehicles, computers, desks, etc.), estimated at $5 million, as well as estimated costs for equipment, operating systems (including software/billing systems, which could potentially be added to the City’s existing system for CGS), and initial labor costs. These costs were Section 4 4-4 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report collectively estimated to be $20 million. Barr estimated the severance / reintegration costs to be approximately $68 million, which includes provisions for contingencies. The NewGen Project Team assumed that these start-up related costs would be amortized with the issuance of debt by the City and/or the Clearwater MEU over a 30-year period. It was assumed that debt issued for the regulatory and professional fees and equipment, support systems, and initial labor costs would be at a taxable rate of 6.5% while the debt issued for the Clearwater MEU Municipal Operations Center and starting A&G plant would be at a tax-exempt rate of 5.5%. This is a simplifying assumption as there may be limitations with the use of bond funds for operations. The debt service for these bonds would be recovered through the rates charged for providing electric service to the Clearwater MEU customers. Table 4-2 below provides a summary of these costs. Table 4-2 Estimated Costs for Clearwater MEU Type Description Amount ($000) (1) Start-Up Costs Regulatory and Professional Fees Estimated transaction costs $15,000 Municipal Operations Center Estimated new build $30,000 Starting A&G Plant Estimated initial investments $5,000 Equipment / Systems / Labor Estimated for operating systems $20,000 Subtotal $70,000 Reserve Costs Working Capital Contribution 90 Days First Year O&M $35,015 Rate Stabilization Contribution 20% First Year O&M $28,401 Severance / Reintegration Costs Severance (including contingencies) Estimated investment required to sever and reintegrate distribution system $67,785 Subtotal $131,201 Total Estimated Costs $201,201 (1) Values are rounded and may not add. The continued operation of the Clearwater MEU would require cash for operations, including power purchases (and delivery via Duke’s transmission system), utility operating expenses, and maintenance of operating reserves. The following provides a summary of the assumptions regarding the costs for each of these items. Power Purchases (Florida Power Market) The Southeast electricity market is a bilateral market that includes all or parts of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Missouri, and Tennessee. This market encompasses FINANCIAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 4-5 the SERC reliability region, as previously discussed. SERC does not have a real-time power market (there is no Regional Independent System Operator or Regional Transmission Operator). Most utilities within SERC are vertically integrated, meaning they own generation, transmission, and distribution plant that are designed and dispatched primarily to serve their own load. However, there are several publicly owned utilities that do not own generation and obtain wholesale power through bilateral contracts with generation-owning entities. Certain entities have formed that facilitate bilateral / wholesale sales in Florida including the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) and the Southeast Energy Exchange Market (SEEM), which began operation in 2022. For the purposes of this Study, it was assumed that SEEM is not a viable power provider for the Clearwater MEU. Florida Municipal Power Agency FMPA is a wholesale power agency owned by municipal electric utilities in Florida. FMPA’s members include the communities of Alachua, Bartow, Blountstown, Bushnell, Chattahoochee, Clewiston, Fort Meade, Fort Pierce, Gainesville, Green Cove Springs, Havana, Homestead, Jacksonville Beach, Key West, Kissimmee, Lakeland, Lake Worth Beach, Leesburg, Moore Haven, Mount Dora, Newberry, New Smyrna Beach, Ocala, Orlando, Quincy, Starke, St. Cloud, Tallahassee, Wauchula, Williston, and Winter Park. FMPA’s mission is to provide low-cost, reliable, and clean power and value-added services for FMPA’s member-owners that benefit their communities and customers. FMPA serves each of these 33 municipal electric utilities located across the state. The municipal utilities are individually owned and operated by the communities they serve. By working together through FMPA, the utilities can enhance their operations for the benefit of their customers. FMPA’s primary purpose is to create joint power supply resources, such as power plant ownerships, member-owned resources, and power purchase agreements with Duke Energy, Florida Power & Light, and others. In addition, the FMPA member utilities work together on a variety of joint efforts to enhance the cost, reliability, and operations of their electric systems. The load requirements for the Clearwater MEU may exceed any excess generation capacity currently owned by FMPA members. Therefore, to support Clearwater’s load, FMPA would likely need to purchase capacity and energy from one of the investor-owned utilities within the state, such as Duke. If that were to occur, it is likely that the average FMPA costs could exceed the costs of the Clearwater MEU buying wholesale power directly from Duke. As a result, for the purposes of this Study, it was assumed that the Clearwater MEU would purchase energy from Duke at the wholesale power rates as estimated herein. If the City does elect to move forward with the development of the Clearwater MEU, it should evaluate the costs of obtaining wholesale power from FMPA at that time. Estimated Wholesale Power Costs for Clearwater MEU Duke energy sales include retail sales and sales for resale, or wholesale transactions. Retail rates are regulated by the FPSC while rates for wholesale transactions are regulated by FERC. Most of Duke’s wholesale transactions are for what is characterized as requirements (RQ) service. RQ service is provided on an ongoing basis and at the same level of reliability as is experienced by Duke’s retail customers. In addition, RQ customers’ power supply requirements are included in Duke’s resource planning process. Currently, Duke’s RQ sales for resale transactions include the following utilities:  Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (formerly Reedy Creek Improvement District)  Seminole Electric Cooperative, Inc.  Southeastern Power Administration  Talquin and Tri County Electric Cooperatives Section 4 4-6 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report  Tampa Electric Company As a proxy for estimating the Clearwater MEU’s future power costs, the NewGen Project Team conducted an analysis of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District’s filed Duke Srvice Schedule F. For transmission costs, an analysis of Duke’s filed OATT projections was conducted. Table 4-3 below provides a summary of the cost elements included in the estimated wholesale power price for transmission voltage service, including estimates of capacity (reservation fee), variable O&M expenses, A&G expenses, fuel and purchased power expenses, and transmission. Fuel and purchased power expenses were estimated based on values provided within Duke’s fuel and purchased power recovery clause. Table 4-3 2026 Estimated Wholesale Power Price ($/MWh) at Transmission Voltage Wholesale Power Costs Elements 2026 Price ($/MWh) Reservation Fee $6.97 Variable O&M Expenses $1.45 A&G Expenses $2.02 Fuel & Purchased Power $37.78 Transmission $10.94 Total $59.16 Transmission Costs It was estimated the transmission expenses for market power purchases for 2026 will be approximately $65,280 per megawatt year (MW-yr) for Network Integration Transmission Service (NITS) based on information published by Duke in its OATT. This cost was applied to the estimated sum of monthly peak demands for the Clearwater MEU to derive a total cost for transmission services for market purchases. Similar to energy sales, the systemwide load forecast provided by Duke was utilized to estimate the future peak demand for the Clearwater MEU. This resulted in a total cost divided by total energy purchased for an equivalent rate of $10.94 per MWh for 2026, as shown in Table 4-3. This cost was assumed to increase at the general rate of inflation of 2.2% per year over the Study Period. It should be noted that transmission costs vary widely in Florida and depend on the nature of the service provided (point-to-point compared to network) and the location of the load, as well as the specific schedule and administrative costs. Future analysis of alternative transmission options is warranted if the City elects to move forward with this effort. Utility Operating Costs The MEU operating costs would include distribution expenses (associated with O&M of the locally owned distribution system), customer expenses (associated with billing and managing customer accounts), A&G expenses (associated with management and other expenses), and other charges. The NewGen Project Team estimated the costs for these operational requirements based on a ratio of Duke’s costs, which were then adjusted based on professional experience. For distribution expenses, the ratio of the total distribution O&M costs (for Duke’s Florida operations, as provided in its regulatory filings) to the total customers served at the system level was determined. This ratio was applied to the total customers estimated to be served in the MEU service territory to determine the annual base costs to provide O&M FINANCIAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 4-7 distribution services. These values were adjusted to reflect the anticipated expenses based on professional experience. For customer expenses, a ratio of the total Duke customer-related costs compared to the total number of customers within its state-wide service territory was determined. This ratio was applied to the total number of customers within the MEU service territory to determine the annual base cost to provide customer-related services. For the A&G expenses, the ratio of Duke’s total distribution O&M and customer-related costs to the total A&G costs was determined. This ratio was applied to the calculated distribution O&M and customer-related costs (total) for the MEU service territory to determine an estimate of the costs for the Clearwater MEU to provide A&G services. For the purposes of this analysis, the NewGen Project Team assumed that the Clearwater MEU would contract with a nearby entity to provide distribution O&M services for the first four years until such time it is expected that the MEU could fully staff its operations. This may be an economically efficient way to manage the system with experienced personnel while the City determines how and when it would hire and train its own staff. It was assumed that a third-party entity would require a nominal management fee to provide these services in addition to the estimated costs based on the analysis herein. The City would need to evaluate the trade-off between continuing to pay the O&M fee and developing its own staff to provide distribution O&M services at a future date. This “contract fee” only applied to the distribution O&M costs as it was assumed that the City would be able to implement and staff its customer- related functions given its experience with its natural gas utility. Additionally, the utility management function (included in the A&G function) would not be subject to the contract fee as this would be a Clearwater MEU-related expense (see discussion of MEU Operational Structure). Other Non-Operating Expenses The financial model included other non-operating expenses including payments to local governments entities in lieu of receiving payments from taxes and franchise fees paid by Duke, investments in the distribution system, debt service for system acquisition, severance and integration, start-up related costs (discussed above), and funding of operating reserves. Various government entities, including Pinellas County and the City, receive payments directly or indirectly from Duke in the form of ad valorum (property taxes) and gross receipts taxes. Combined, it was estimated from data provided by Duke that Duke’s retail rates recovered approximately $6.5 million in taxes from the customers within the City in 2024 which was remitted to government entities and which is inclusive of approximately $825,000 in ad valorum taxes paid to the City. The Clearwater MEU would most likely be a tax-exempt (government owned) entity; however, for the purposes of this Study, the NewGen Project Team assumed that the Clearwater MEU would be responsible for collecting a similar payment in lieu of taxes from its customers. As previously indicated, the City currently receives a franchise fee payment from Duke which is the equivalent of 6% of gross revenues from sales within the City, excluding sales to public authorities. The City indicated receipt of an average annual franchise fee from Duke of approximately $11 million in 2024. The analysis developed herein included an internal transfer, referred to as a Franchise Free Replacement, from the Clearwater MEU to the City based on the 2024 value provided by Duke, escalated annually at the rate of inflation. Investments in the system are referred to as “renewals and replacements” or normal capital expenditures and were assumed to be approximately $19.4 million per year for the first 10 years of operations, increasing to approximately $33 million for the second 10-year period based on an assessment of the Section 4 4-8 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report condition of the assets to be acquired. This was based on the “distribution investment plan” as described in Section 2 of this report. The analysis assumed that these investments would be funded with cash from rates. After the initial distribution investment plan period (Year 20), it was assumed that these investments would be equal to the annual depreciation expense of the entire MEU asset base. As previously indicated, the system debt service costs were based on a 30-year bond issue for the acquisition at the taxable rate of 6.5%. The start-up debt service was based on a 30-year bond issue for the start-up costs at a tax-free rate of 5.5%. The operating reserves were assumed to be equal to the difference between the cash available for debt service and the total non-operating expenses, assuming a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.5 times the debt service requirement. The coverage ratio was applied to all debt issued by the Clearwater MEU, including the debt service for the acquisition, the capital improvement costs, and the startup costs. Additionally, the Clearwater MEU would be expected to maintain financial reserves which would include a Working Capital Fund (90 days cash, which is a standard reserve policy for municipal entities) as well as a Rate Stabilization Fund equivalent to 20% of its total operating cash needs. For the purposes of this Study, it was assumed that the initial deposits to these funds would be made with the proceeds of debt issues. As the Clearwater MEU utility grows to meet increased demand and increased costs, these reserves would be maintained with cash recovered from rates. Community Support Duke makes charitable contributions in various forms to the communities it serves, and the dollars used to support these efforts are funded by shareholders in accordance with state law. These contributions are made through various entities, including the Duke Energy Foundation, which is the charitable foundation of Duke Energy Corporation. In addition to monetary contributions, Duke employees and retirees help build and nurture communities through gifts to various programs and by volunteering their time and efforts. Duke does not track its charitable contributions specifically within City limits, but it has estimated contributions to the Clearwater community since 2020 to be approximately $1.3 million in donations and sponsorships; approximately $1.0 million in grants, employee matching, and volunteer rewards; and over $100,000 in employee and retiree donations. Current and retired Duke employees provide gifts of approximately $500,000 per year, and Duke’s contributions to charitable organizations in the Clearwater area are over $150,000 a year. Additionally, Duke contributes to county area organizations, including Pinellas County Urban League, Pinellas County Ed Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, New World Reading, and St. Pete College. The values provided above do not include Duke’s “Share the Light” Fund, which provides assistance to low-income customers to meet their electricity needs. For the purposes of this analysis, the NewGen Project Team assumed that the Clearwater MEU would donate approximately $500,000 per year to various charitable organizations, which is roughly equal to the value provided by Duke (but excluding the value provided by the current and retired Duke employees). This value was assumed to increase at the rate of inflation throughout the Study period. Total Revenue Requirement / Average System Rate The financial model determined the revenue requirement (the total dollars needed to support the Clearwater MEU) based on the individual expenses identified above. The revenue to be recovered from rates was equal to the revenue requirement of the utility. The annual average effective “all-in” system rate was equal to the revenue requirement divided by the total energy (kWh sales). This rate would not necessarily be equal to the rates charged by the Clearwater MEU to its customer classes; however it FINANCIAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 4-9 provides a comparable basis for the purposes of feasibility. If the Clearwater MEU were formed, individual customer class rates would be developed based on a detailed cost of service analysis. Because different customers place different demands on the system and use power at different times, the Clearwater MEU’s rate design would need to be tailored to ensure that rates were cost based for each customer class or adjusted to fit specific policy requirements of the City. The annual average “all-in” effective system rate is a financial metric utilized to compare the potential costs of operating the Clearwater MEU to the costs of continuing to obtain service from Duke. The NewGen Project Team estimated the average system costs for the Duke customers within the MEU service territory based on existing customer class usage data provided by Duke and an assumption of the customer composition of those future Clearwater MEU customers within the enclaves, as described in Section 2 of this report. From 2027 onward, the average system retail rate for Duke Clearwater customers was estimated to increase at an annual inflation rate of 2.2%. Table 4-5 below summarizes the projected average system retail rates for the Clearwater MEU compared to those estimated for Duke. The first five years of the Study resulted in an average retail rate for the Clearwater MEU that was approximately 7% lower than the corresponding estimated Duke Clearwater all- in rate. These savings increased over time as a result of the fixed costs associated with the debt service payment requirement of the Clearwater MEU and the assumptions regarding increases in Duke’s rates. The average retail rate for the Clearwater MEU was estimated to be approximately 18% lower than Duke’s rates for the remainder of the Study period. It is reasonable to expect that the Clearwater MEU all-in effective rates would be lower than Duke’s projected all-in effective rates because the City has access to lower cost of capital (debt service) than Duke, does not include a profit in its revenue requirement (and does not have to provide a return to its shareholders) and does not have to pay income taxes. Table 4-5 Annual Savings Analysis Item Year 1 (2026) Year 5 (2030) Year 10 (2035) Year 20 (2045) Total Annual Sales (kWh) 1,778,491,267 1,872,967,084 1,995,432,383 2,264,005,967 Clearwater MEU Effective All-In Rates ($/kWh) $0.1294 $0.1339 $0.1405 $0.1654 Total Clearwater MEU Revenue $230,141,351 $250,804,800 $280,412,040 $374,388,297 Duke Effective All-In Rates in Clearwater ($/kWh) $0.1437 $0.1459 $0.1632 $0.2041 Total Duke Revenue in Clearwater $255,586,560 $273,236,668 $325,557,944 $461,975,654 Difference between Clearwater MEU and Duke Revenue (Savings $) $25,445,209 $22,431,868 $45,145,903 $87,587,357 % Difference in Effective Rate (%) (10.0%) (8.2%) (13.9%) (19.0%) Discussion of Annual Savings Analysis The results in Table 4-5 indicate that the Clearwater MEU could potentially provide savings to the citizens and business of its service territory in the first year of its formation. Based on the analyses and assumptions developed herein, the NewGen Project Team estimated that the Clearwater MEU effective “all-in” rate would be approximately $0.014/kWh less than the estimated effective all-in rate for Duke for the first year of the analysis. While this difference does not seem large, if applied to the estimated entire Section 4 4-10 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report sales within the Clearwater MEU of approximately 1.7 billion kWh for the year, the savings are estimated to be approximately $25 million. This suggests that in aggregate the customers of the Clearwater MEU could potentially see a reduction in their electricity costs of approximately 10% in the first year As the Clearwater MEU grows to meet increased load and continues to invest in its distribution system and its financial reserves, its rates would increase to cover its costs. Based on the assumptions described herein, in Year 5 of the analysis, the effective all-in rate for the Clearwater MEU was estimated to be approximately $0.1339/kWh. However, at that time it was estimated that the effective all-in Duke rate will have increased with inflation. The resulting rate difference in Year 5 was estimated to be approximately $0.012/kWh between the Clearwater MEU and Duke, resulting in a cost savings of approximately $22 million for that year. This suggests an increase in the relative cost savings to the Clearwater MEU ratepayers of approximately 8% compared to remaining a Duke customer. The savings to the Clearwater MEU ratepayers was estimated to decrease slightly in Year 5 as the cash needs of the utility operation slightly increase. Year 10 and Year 20 Discussion At Year 10, the estimated effective all-in rate difference between the Clearwater MEU and Duke would increase to be approximately 14% lower for the Clearwater MEU. This is primarily because many of the Clearwater MEU costs would be related to the debt issued to acquire and invest in the distribution system; therefore, these costs would remain constant (the annual debt service was assumed to be constant for each debt issue). Additionally, as indicated, the Clearwater MEU rates would not include a profit or return for shareholders, which is included in the Duke rates, which were estimated to continue to grow with inflation. In Year 20, the all-in rate difference was estimated to be approximately $0.039/kWh, which results in an estimated annual savings of approximately $88 million to the customers of the Clearwater MEU or approximately 19% lower rates compared to the estimated revenue and rates associated with Duke Clearwater customers at that time. Figure 4-1 provides a comparison of the total effective all-in rate comparison of the Duke rates within Clearwater compared to those estimated for the Clearwater MEU for all years of the Study Figure 4-1. Annual Effective All-In Rates ($/kWh) Clearwater MEU versus Duke Clearwater The results of the Feasibility Study showed that for all years of the Study period, the estimated effective all-in rate for the Clearwater MEU would be lower than the estimated effective all-in rate for Duke for the customers within the Clearwater MEU service territory. For the first five years of the Study period, the average Clearwater MEU all-in effective rate would be approximately 7% lower than the Duke Clearwater $0.00 $0.05 $0.10 $0.15 $0.20 $0.25 $0.30 202620272028202920302031203220332034203520362037203820392040204120422043204420452046204720482049205020512052205320542055$/KWHYEAR Effective All-In Rates ($/kWh) Clearwater MEU vs Duke Clearwater Duke Clearwater Effective Rates Clearwater MEU Effective Rates FINANCIAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 4-11 rate on an annual basis. After this initial period, the Clearwater MEU all-in effective rate would be on average approximately 18% lower than the effective Duke Clearwater rate on an annual basis for the remainder of the Study period. There are several factors influencing the results of this analysis. In 2027 (Year 2), the average estimated all-in rates for both the Clearwater MEU and Duke Clearwater were reduced. This was primarily based on estimates for production-related costs as filed by Duke with the FPSC as a result of the settlement agreement for the rate case Docket No. 202400025-EI. The effect of this settlement agreement for Duke rates (in general) was that there is no expected retail base rate change for 2027. The effect on the Clearwater MEU would be that the purchased power costs, obtained at the wholesale all-requirements rate estimated for 2027, would be reduced compared to 2026, primarily due to predicted reductions in fuel costs. Beyond 2027, the Duke all-in effective rates were estimated to increase at the general rate of inflation (2.2%, as stated herein); however, the Clearwater MEU rates would be impacted by the estimated Long- Range Capital Plan investments (which were assumed to be made in cash) and the constant annual debt payments assumed for the acquisition, start-up, and severance / reintegration costs. Because the annual debt payments remained constant throughout the Study period, a relatively large portion of the annual revenue requirement (approximately 20%) remained constant, whereas the remaining portions of the annual revenue requirement were adjusted annually for inflation. Therefore, the difference between the annual effective all-in rates for the Clearwater MEU and Duke Clearwater would increase over time. Disclaimer The assumptions developed herein were based on a point in time and were based on the best available information provided by Duke, the City, and public sources. There can be no assurances made that these assumptions are the only assumptions that the City should consider in its deliberations regarding the formation of a Clearwater MEU. These assumptions are subject to change with changes in the economy, utility industry, and other aspects of society within and beyond the state of Florida, and such changes may have an adverse impact on the analysis developed herein. To the extent that such external events occur or new information becomes available that would otherwise impact these assumptions, the findings in this report, including the potential savings associated with the formation of the Clearwater MEU, could be adversely impacted. This report contains financial information and makes findings based on estimates and projections including but not limited to revenues, expenses, costs, operations, and capital markets in general. There can be no guarantee that the Clearwater MEU will achieve cost savings compared to continued service from Duke, and the results may be materially different from those presented herein. Therefore, it is critical to understand that actual results may, and likely will, vary from those contained in this report and developed for this Study. Economics | Strategy | Stakeholders | Sustainability Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report Section 5 PUBLIC POLICY IMPLICATIONS One advantage that the City would have in owning and operating the Clearwater MEU would be the opportunity to effectuate public policy goals through local control of the electric utility. This may include the opportunity to convert overhead distribution feeders to underground in selected areas of the MEU service territory. Additionally, City ownership of the MEU may result in the ability of the City to attract investment in Clearwater with various rate offerings, as well as various customer programs and rate offerings which could be designed to address affordability concerns and other policy considerations of the City. Overhead to Underground Distribution Conversions Based on a review of the distribution system, Barr identified three significant areas where the overhead feeders could potentially be converted to underground, which would increase the reliability, safety, and aesthetics of these areas relative to the current electric distribution system. Specifically, Myrtle Avenue, Drew Street, and Court Street are significant thoroughfares that are examples of areas that could be improved with conversion from overhead to underground systems. Figure 5-1 is a picture of the current overhead distribution line configuration at the corner of South Myrtle Avenue and Court Street. Figure 5-1. South Myrtle Avenue and Court Street Overhead Distribution Lines (Source: Google Earth) Figure 5-2 is a picture of the current overhead electrical distribution system along South Myrtle Avenue at the intersection of Pine Avenue (looking north along South Myrtle Avenue). Figure 5-3 is a picture of the current overhead electrical distribution system along Drew Street at the intersection of North Garden Avenue (looking north along Drew Street), and Figure 5-4 is a picture looking north along Court Street at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue.

Court Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue Overhead Distribution Lines (Source: Google Earth) To be clear, cost estimates for the conversion of overhead distribution lines and equipment to underground distribution lines and equipment were not included in the feasibility analysis developed for this Study. In general, typical ranges for engineering, material, and construction costs for overhead to underground conversion are between approximately $800,000 and $1.05 million per 1,000 feet of conductor and related equipment (in 2025 dollars). Table 5-1 provides a summary of cost ranges for the removal of existing overhead lines and equipment and the installation of new underground lines and equipment.

Court Street, Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue to Hillcrest Avenue, Overhead to Underground Conversion (Source: Google Earth) Retail Rates / Rate Programs If the City forms the Clearwater MEU, it would be required to set retail rates for the various rate classes within its service territory. However, the Clearwater MEU would have the ability to establish these rates and rate classes in accordance with its rate setting authority, which will likely rest with the Clearwater City Council. Regardless, the City would have the ability to establish rates consistent with its public policy objectives. Further, the City would have the ability to establish rate programs, such as those associated with addressing affordability concerns, including low-income rate assistance, as well as to potentially offer rates to encourage investment in the City and to support the local hospitality industry and health care workers, for example. Such rates and rate programs could also be designed to work with other City government entities, such as CGS Energy, to promote local welfare and support the local economy. To be clear, this Study did not include the development of proposed rates and rate programs for the potential Clearwater MEU. This Study does not propose specific rates for the Clearwater MEU customer classes. However, an analysis of potential effective all-in retail rates by class was developed for comparative purposes only. Specifically, a proportional analysis of the average effective all-in retail Duke rate to the average effective all-in retail PUBLIC POLICY IMPLICATIONS Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report 5-7 rate by each major customer class identified by Duke was conducted for 2026. These proportions (or ratios) were applied to the average system effective all-in retail rate estimated for the Clearwater MEU for 2026. Table 5-2 summarizes this analysis and the comparison of the average all-in retail rates by customer class for Duke and the Clearwater MEU. To be clear, these rates were not developed as a result of a detailed cost of service analysis, which is beyond the scope of this Study. If the City does form the Clearwater MEU, the NewGen Project Team recommends that a detailed cost of service study be conducted to properly allocate costs to each customer class served by the utility. Table 5-2 Comparison of Effective All-In Retail Rates by Customer Class for Duke and Clearwater MEU (2026) Rate / Rate Class (2026) (1) Units Duke Clearwater MEU Effective All-In Rate $/kWh $0.1437 $0.1294 Residential $/kWh $0.1778 $0.1601 Commercial $/kWh $0.1159 $0.1044 Industrial $/kWh $0.0734 $0.0661 Public Authority $/kWh $0.1229 $0.1107 Lighting $/kWh $0.3119 $0.2809 (1) Analysis is for comparative purposes only. Analysis assumes same classification / proportionality as current Duke rates. City Council can change the proportion based on its policy objectives Economics | Strategy | Stakeholders | Sustainability Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report Section 6 CONCLUSION Conclusion The NewGen Project Team investigated the technical, financial, and legal feasibility of creating a locally owned electric utility (Clearwater MEU) for the City, including the enclave areas as discussed herein. This would require the City to acquire the existing electric distribution assets of the incumbent utility, Duke, within these areas. This would also require the City to procure wholesale power and transmission services, manage and maintain the local distribution system, and bill customers for their power usage. The results of the analysis conducted for this Feasibility Study suggest that on an average system effective all-in retail rate basis, the Clearwater MEU could provide service to its customers at a lower annual average cost than the Duke Clearwater projected annual average effective all-in retail rate for all years of the Study period (2026–2055). The analysis relied on a series of assumptions regarding the acquisition of the Duke assets and the costs to acquire and deliver wholesale power supply from Duke, as well as the costs to operate and maintain the Clearwater MEU. Primary drivers for the average Clearwater MEU system retail rates include the assumptions and estimates for the costs to acquire the system assets, construction costs for capital improvements to connect the system to the transmission grid, future power supply expenses, and other operating costs. For this assessment, the NewGen Project Team made reasonable estimates and assumptions consistent with this Study and based on publicly available data and information provided by the City and Duke. As noted herein, Duke should be commended for providing data and other information to support the analysis developed for this Study. The development of a Clearwater MEU is not without potential risks to the City, including the risk that the assumptions and estimated financial projections developed herein prove to be incorrect. The assumptions developed for this Study are based on a point in time and are subject to change with changes in the economy, utility industry, and other aspects of society within and beyond the state of Florida, and such changes may have an adverse impact on the analysis developed herein. Therefore, it is critical to understand that actual results may, and likely will, vary from those contained in this report. As noted, there are potentially significant legal and other challenges associated with the development of a Clearwater MEU. At the state level, the City would likely need to compel Duke to sell its assets within the Clearwater MEU service area through a forced sale. Relevant legal precedents for public entities acquiring private utility assets suggest that the value of assets are related to their relative RCNLD costs, in addition to a compensation for “going concern” value, severance and reintegration costs, and other costs. For this Study, it was assumed that the adjustment made to the RCNLD values developed herein is inclusive of the going concern value. As discussed herein, it was assumed that the Clearwater MEU would not incur stranded costs in the acquisition of the Duke distribution assets given the requirements of the State statute governing the valuation of such activities. Further, this Study did not include the development of an appraisal of the assets to be acquired from Duke by the City, which would presumably be required if the City decides to move forward with this project. The creation of the Clearwater MEU could provide the City with an opportunity to implement various public policies related to electric utility operations and service offerings. The opportunities focused on for the purposes of this Study and report were the potential implementation of an undergrounding Section 6 6-2 Clearwater Public Power Feasibility Report program, as described herein, as well as potential rates structures and programs to address concerns regarding affordability and economic development. Conversion of overhead distribution facilities to underground would require significant investments by the Clearwater MEU; however, these investments may result in improved reliability, less need for vegetation management, and improved safety and aesthetics. For the purposes of this Study, the additional costs for undergrounding portions of the distribution system were not included in determining the feasibility of the creation of the Clearwater MEU. Development of specific rate design and rate offerings for individual customer classes as well as various customer-related programs would require the development of a detailed cost of service study, which was not included as part of this Study. As noted herein, the basis for this Study was a series of assumptions regarding the potential operating and non-operating costs for the Clearwater MEU as well as the future retail rates offered by Duke. The implementation of a Clearwater MEU would be a very complex undertaking, which means, among other things, that there could be any number of factors that could negatively impact the ultimate financial results. Therefore, it should be clearly stated that there can be no assurances that the Clearwater MEU would achieve the cost savings estimated herein, and the results may, and could, be materially different than those estimated for this Study.

5 Task 1: Project Kickoff, Develop Strategic Assessment Task 2: Technical, Financial, and Legal Feasibility Assessment Task 3: Prepare Report, Presentation 6© 2025 NEWGEN STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS, LLC FEASIBILITY STUDY: WHY NOW? 6 •Duke operates under a franchise agreement with the City –Allows Duke to provide services and utilize City rights of way / easements within the City –Franchise agreement negotiated with Florida Power in 1995 –Expires December 31, 2025 (30-year term) •What are the City’s options? –Explore development of a municipally owned electric utility (Clearwater MEU) –Enter into a franchise agreement with Duke •Potential ability to adjust terms of agreement to reflect City policy objectives 7© 2025 NEWGEN STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS, LLC FEASIBILITY STUDY: FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED 7 •Can the City purchase and operate the Clearwater MEU at a lower price than Duke? –Feasibility analysis suggests that the Clearwater MEU would have a lower effective all-in rate. •How was feasibility determined? –Purchase price for power / transmission services –Price paid for Duke distribution assets, including “going concern” and real estate value –Costs for severance / reintegration of distribution system –Costs for Clearwater MEU to start-up, manage, operate, maintain, and invest in utility operations –Compare to Duke rates and customers power usage in Clearwater •How would Clearwater MEU recover its costs? –Annual payment of revenue bonds remains constant over Study period –Charge retail rates to its customers 8© 2025 NEWGEN STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS, LLC FEASIBILITY STUDY: OBJECTIVES OF CLEARWATER MEU 8 •Affordability –Potential opportunity to provide electric services at lower rates –Would benefit seniors on fixed income –Economic development opportunity (hospitality and health care workers) –Promote affordable housing •Promote business in the City –Offer lower electric rates / attract desired businesses •Efficient government –Collaborate with other City / county agencies •Local control / local policies –Protect tree canopy –Provide for more undergrounding of electric lines 99© 2025 NEWGEN STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS, LLC SUMMARY OF RESULTS 9 •Financially feasible to establish Clearwater Municipal Electric Utility (MEU) Clearwater MEU annual effective all-in rates are less than Duke Energy Florida (Duke) annual effective all-in rates for all years of the Study period •How can Clearwater MEU offer rates cheaper than Duke? Clearwater MEU can issue tax exempt bonds for portion of project costs Clearwater MEU would not have to pay return to shareholders Clearwater MEU would not pay income taxes 1010© 2025 NEWGEN STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS, LLC SUMMARY OF RESULTS 10 •Study Period: 2026–2055 (30 years) •Duke annual effective all-in rates 2026–2027 Florida Public Service Commission (Florida PSC) settlement Inflation thereafter •Clearwater MEU effective all-in rates Total annual operational / non-operational costs Bond

We value our relationship with Clearwater and will continue to work with the City each day on projects, opportunities and proactively addressing any concerns. Just last week, we announced local Duke Energy grant recipients, remembering last year's Hurricanes Helene and Milton, when we showed up for our customers when they needed us most. Our commitment to our customers remains stronger than ever. Please enter this letter into the record during your discussion at the city council meeting today of the NewGen feasibility study. As NewGen notes in its study, throughout this process, Duke Energy has cooperatively shared information with NewGen so that our customers and the City have accurate information as the City examines the feasibility of taking over Duke Energy's system. Along those lines, as you undertake a careful review of the study, we ask that you consider the following significant issues with the assumptions made by NewGen. These deficiencies and uncertainties in the study, when corrected, change the picture dramatically, likely eliminating any speculated savings to customers. It is crucial not to be misled by these "findings," as a thorough examination reveals the true impact and potential inaccuracies.

The report's authors state explicitly on page 4-11, "There can be no guarantee that Clearwater...will achieve cost savings." NewGen's "all -in" preliminary valuation ($572 million) is based on a methodology (AACE Class 5) where the inputs may be off by up to -50% or +100% (Page 2-7). That means NewGen's own study acknowledges the costs of this takeover range from $386 million to $942 million, putting the figure they did choose for analysis on the low side of their overall range. (Page 2-7). NewGen's study uses only $572 million to conduct a projected rate analysis. Yet the study does not outline the impacts to rates if the actual valuation is much higher. NewGen's math for a city takeover of the grid in Clearwater Cost estimates were developed using 2025 pricing estimates and were based on the Association of the Advancement of Cost Engineering's (AACE) Class 5 Estimate, defined cis within the range of 50% to +100%, which is an appropriate range of cost estimating for the purposes of this Study.

Seixas(gduke-energy.com ISSUE 2: An "overnight" transition to a city -owned utility cannot occur so costs will be higher Duke Energy's property is not for sale. Any acquisition would have to utilize the long process of eminent domain. NewGen states directly in their full report that they are assuming an overnight" conversion to a city -owned utility. In other words, NewGen uses today's dollars to estimate the acquisition costs, even while they also acknowledge on page 4-1 that "it would likely be a long process that could take several years to complete". In addition, the purported savings that NewGen projects depend on multiple assumptions that are outside the City's control and, we believe, are not accurately estimated in the study: wholesale power and transmission prices, fuel costs, litigation outcomes, interest rates, and the City's ability to serve—and seize—outside-boundary "enclave" areas, including two Duke Energy substations located in those enclaves. For example, the study assumes the City's MEU would have about 20,000 more customers than Duke Energy currently has. It remains unclear how the City would acquire these customers, which at the very least would require substantial time related to annexation and regulatory approvals. If the City is unsuccessful at annexing those areas, that would further reduce the purported benefits reflected in the study. ISSUE 3: NewGen's estimated start-up costs are inconsistent with their own example, and higher costs could increase taxpayer burden NewGen's study references the City of Boulder, which spent $29 million of taxpayer money to engage in a similar effort from 2010 through 2020. Despite this, NewGen proposes the Clearwater MEU start-up cost would be $11 million (including reserves), shown in Table 4-1. Higher acquisition and startup costs could eliminate any savings and increase the burden on taxpayers. ISSUE 4: NewGen used obsolete Duke Energy rate data and assumptions in its rate analysis, virtually eliminating speculated savings Duke Energy's 2026 rates on file with the Public Service Commission are not the rates used by NewGen to develop its purported $17.70 per 1,000 kWh residential customer savings in 2026. This error means NewGen's assumed Duke Energy rate is about 9% higher than Duke Energy's bill for those customers. If Duke Energy's 2026 rates were used, any speculated Clearwater MEU customer savings are essentially eliminated. In addition to the difference in 2026 rate assumptions, as to projected future rates, there is a significant error in assumed rate growth in the NewGen study. The effective future rates in the NewGen study (see NewGen presentation slide 23) have the hypothetical Duke Energy rates growing faster than the equivalent rates for Clearwater MEU. That doesn't make sense, 3 r DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA Melissa Seixas State President - Florida Duke Energy Florida 299 First Avenue North St. Petersburg, FL 33701 Melissa. Seixas©duke-energy. com especially if Clearwater purchases both power and transmission service from Duke Energy. If the Duke Energy effective rates were to escalate at the same rate as Clearwater MEU's, there is little difference between Duke Energy and Clearwater projected future rates. SOLUTIONS: NewGen highlights some potential "off ramps," including working with Duke Energy on undergrounding as well vegetation management, distribution system reliability and service metrics, and customer programs regarding affordability and economic development. All these items can be successfully addressed through franchise agreement negotiations. In fact, Duke Energy is already undergrounding one of the areas shown in the study on Myrtle Avenue between Court and Cleveland and is currently undergrounding lines in seven other areas in the City. Vegetation management was completed in the City earlier this year with enhanced notification procedures that successfully ensured our customers and the City are well informed about vegetation management activities in Clearwater and why. We welcome meaningful discussions on these topics prior to the agreement's expiration in December and are open to considering a shorter franchise agreement term, such as a ten-year renewal. We remain committed to working together, as we have for decades, to ensure our efforts are unified and focused on the best interests of Clearwater citizens.

Please enter this and the attached letter from Concentric Energy Advisors ("Concentric") into the record during your discussion at the city council meeting on September 29 of the NewGen feasibility study. To ensure Duke Energy's customers and the City had a third -party analysis following the City's decision to examine the feasibility of taking over Duke Energy's operations, Duke Energy hired Concentric to provide an independent assessment of the company's system. Concentric has decades of experience studying, analyzing and consulting for utilities all over North America. After spending months studying the value of Duke Energy's service territory, Concentric experts determined it would cost over $1 billion for Clearwater to take over Duke Energy's assets and create a government -run power company. Concentric's study is available online at Concentric- Enerrv-Advisors-Clearwater-FL-M unicipalization-Analysis-Briefing. pdf. As you undertake a careful review of the NewGen study, we ask that you consider Concentric's analysis, as well as significant issues with the NewGen study identified in the attached letter from Concentric. It is important to have reliable information: A thorough review of NewGen's conclusions uncovers possible discrepancies. Thank you, Kathryn Christian Director, Government and Community Relations 1 CO CENTRIC September 29, 2025 Kathryn Christian Director, Government and Community Affairs Duke Energy Kathryn.Christian@Duke-Energy.com CLEARWATER MUNICIPAL FEASIBILITY STUDY RE: NEWGEN CLEARWATER MUNICIPAL FEASIBILITY STUDY Dear Kathryn, At the request of Duke Energy, Concentric Energy Advisors has performed a preliminary high-level review of NewGen Strategies & Solutions' ("NewGen") Municipal Utility Feasibility Study ("Study") prepared for the City of Clearwater, FL. NewGen's analysis reflects careful attention to the relevant Florida legal framework, detailed field assessments of Duke's assets, and a well -structured financial model that clearly lays out potential rate impacts over a 30 -year horizon. However, based on Concentric's initial high-level review, there are differences in NewGen's approach and underlying assumptions compared to Concentric's Preliminary Analysis of Costs to the City of Clearwater, Florida to Assume Duke Energy Florida's Distribution System. These differences may have a material impact on forecasts of average rates. More issues may be identified as we continue to review the analysis. Long-term rate reduction forecast is inconsistent with the scale of distribution costs: The forecasted savings are based on NewGen's forecast of a long-term rate differential between Clearwater MEU and Duke Energy. However, a 24% "all -in" rate differential in 2055 based on a forecasted reduction in distribution is difficult to reconcile to the current rate structures. Annexation risks: NewGen's analysis assumes the Clearwater MEU would serve about 20,000 more customers than are currently served in Clearwater. Expansion into unincorporated areas poses substantial uncertainties and may require incremental costs. Asset inventory errors: NewGen's estimates of total distribution line miles and customer count implies only 26ft of distribution lines per customer. Concentric's understanding is that Duke Energy's estimate for Clearwater is 110ft per customer and the total system average is 130ft per customer. Additionally, the number of distribution poles reported in the NewGen report appears to be in error. Substation complications: The annexation of the Bayview and East Clearwater substations may create unduly onerous arrangements. The assumption that the City would only acquire assets below 69kV implies that the East Clearwater substation would essentially be split in half. Such joint ownership of a substation is uncommon. Valuation flaws: Reproduction Cost New Less Depreciation ("RCNLD") results are distorted by the understated distribution line miles. The Study also appears to overstate accumulated depreciation, which averaged 53% in the Study. Duke Energy's average system accumulated depreciation for distribution assets is 20%. Next, NewGen's reproduction cost new estimate of $48 million for three CONCENTRIC ENERGY ADVISORS I PG. I CLEARWATER MUNICIPAL FEASIBILITY STUDY large substations appears to be understated but may be impacted by the assumption of split ownership of the East Clearwater substation. Finally, the RCNLD analysis did not mention the subaqueous cables that serve Clearwater Beach and represent a significant share of the total system value. Separation costs: Concentric's estimate of $305-$342M (2029$) for separation costs meaningfully deviates from NewGen's $68M estimate. While NewGen's assumption of modified City boundaries would indeed lower separation costs, the analysis appears to overlook the need for new Duke Energy substations that would be needed if the City acquires the Bayview and East Clearwater substations. Finally the NewGen study does not address the reliability concerns for Morton Plant Hospital, which today is served by redundant feeders, one of which would be eliminated under municipalization. Ongoing distribution investments: NewGen assumes approximately $18M/year, while Duke Energy historically invested approximately $30M/year in Clearwater. In addition to renewal and replacement of distribution assets, Duke's investments in Clearwater's distribution system include storm hardening. However, NewGen's assumptions appear to omit investments for storm hardening and resiliency improvements. Power supply costs: NewGen's $48/MWh (excluding transmission) benchmark is inconsistent with Concentric's review of actual wholesale supply costs in Florida for a full -requirements portfolio for energy and firm generation capacity. Sales growth: NewGen assumes 1.3% annual load growth versus Duke Energy's 0.7% historical rate. This assumption for annual load growth above historical levels increases forecast sales by approximately 17% by 2055. Because fixed system costs are spread across total system sales, this assumption significantly lowers the MEU's rate forecast. TOTAL SYSTEM VALUATION The table below compares Concentric's preliminary valuation for Clearwater assets, which is based on an assumed 2029 municipalization date, with the estimates developed by NewGen. Concentric's valuation applies "fair market value" principles, designed to estimate what a third -party buyer would pay for these assets in a competitive arms -length market solicitation. It highlights both areas of agreement and significant differences in assumptions. While some of the variation reflects different methodologies, some of NewGen's assumptions materially reduce the Study's total estimate. For the purposes of comparing Concentric's results to the NewGen study we have omitted future stranded generation costs from the table. However, there may be stranded generation costs in the future.

I was born here in Clearwater at Morton Plant Hospital; my kids were born at the same hospital. My roots, my family and my friends all call this area home. I have held numerous positions throughout my career at Duke Energy over the past 34+ years, from Lineman to Vegetation Management to my current role in Emergency Preparedness. Throughout my career here at Duke our customers have always been our focus. Last year was a historic hurricane season, responding to Debby, Helene and Milton. In Debby we restored -350K customers with 95% being restored within the first 24 hours. In Helene we restored -800k customers with 95% being restored within the first 24 hours. And, in Milton were restored -1 M customers with 95% being restored within the first 96 hours. Although it was a very challenging year for us, there were not the only storms we responded to. Prior to Debby, we deployed to Houston where we spent 2 weeks assisting with the restoration of Hurricane Beryl. Between Debby and Helene we deployed to New Orleans where we spent almost a week assisting with the restoration of Hurricane Francine. It's the assistance we provide in a time of need that enables us to lean on peer Investor-owned utilities when we are in need. For Hurricane Debby we mobilized -3,000 resources, in Helene we mobilized -8,000 resources and for Milton we mobilized -16,000 resources to achieve the restoration times that were accomplished. These resource numbers would not be possible if it weren't for the size of Duke Energy and its footprint and for the members of the Mutual Assistance groups across the country which are made up of Investor -Owned utilities. If you recall, after Hurricane Helene devastated our west coast of Florida it continued north causing record flooding in Georgia and Tennessee and the Carolina's. Many resources had been acquired by those states and were currently in restoration when Milton was approaching. We were able to reach out to or peer investor -own utilities and member 1 DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA Mutual Assistance groups across the county and mobilize resources from as far away and Canada and California. We have been nationally recognized by Edison Electrical Institute and the Southeastern Electrical Exchange for our storm response. A recent benchmark study was conducted and shows the Duke Energy Florida is restoring as much as 6.3 times faster than peer utilities and almost 174% more customers per day than other utilities. I am asking you to consider the impact it would have on the Clearwater community, many which are my friends and family, if the decision is made to move away from Duke Energy's nationally recognized storm response and our energetic employees that many also call Clearwater home. I hope we will get the chance to work with you and discuss these issues to ensure our efforts are unified and focused on the best interests of Clearwater citizens.

I work in Clearwater at the Clearwater Operations Center at 2166 Palmetto Street. I want to reiterate on behalf of all Duke Energy Florida employees who live and work in the Clearwater community that we remain committed to serving our Clearwater customers. Personally, I have worked daily on projects in Clearwater like the City Hall project and proactively addressing any concerns. Please enter this letter into the record during your discussion at the city council meeting today of the NewGen feasibility study. When Hurricanes Helene and Milton hit last year, I was stationed at the Duke Mobile Command Center on the beach, where I worked along with 27,000 others to restore power to our battered community. Mayor Rector, you rode along with me in our beach community, as we saw the devastation as well as the scope and scale of Duke's storm response. After the storm, and we got the lights back on, Duke employees in "Duke Energy in Action" shirts were cleaning up the Clearwater beaches and helping restore the Clearwater community. As you undertake a careful review of the study, we ask that you consider the impact that Duke Energy's world-class storm response and energetic employees have on the Clearwater community and what it would mean to our community to lose that. We have invested millions of dollars in the electric grid in Clearwater and in the Clearwater community. NewGen highlights some potential "off ramps," including working with Duke Energy on undergrounding, distribution system reliability and service metrics. Those are things I work on every day. I am confident all these items can be successfully addressed through franchise agreement negotiations. In fact, Duke Energy is already undergrounding one of the areas shown in the study on Myrtle Avenue between Court and Cleveland and is currently undergrounding lines in seven other areas in the City. I hope we will get the chance to work with you and discuss these issues for the best interests of Clearwater citizens.

Call@myclearwater. com Re: NewGen Feasibility Study Presentation at City Council Meeting on September 29 Dear Mayor Rector, Clearwater Council Members and City Manager Poirrier, I am Phil McGee. I'm currently the Lead Environmental Health and Safety Consultant for the South Coastal area including the City of Clearwater. I was born and raised here in Clearwater, Florida and have proudly called it Home for 69 years. I have worked at Duke Energy for 47 years and have been involved in the Electrical Utility Industry for over 5 decades in this area, including the City of Clearwater. I've held many positions over those 47 years, including serving as a lineman restoring power on clear blue sky days and in our darkest hours during storm restoration. I spent 10 years as the line skills trainer teaching our employees to safely work on energized lines and equipment. I work every day in our community to ensure Duke's work is done safely for our employees, our customers and members of the general public. In fact, Duke Energy is widely recognized in the electrical utility industry as having the best line tech training program in the business. We attract talent from all over the country to come work and live in our local communities within the Tampa Bay area, including the city Clearwater. I personally have worked for over 20 years providing crucial Electrica Safety information and coordinating training with our community's first responders, including City Public Workers, Police, Firefighters and emergency management personnel. Duke Energy regularly hosts Electrical Safety training along with Live Line trailer demonstrations to keep our first responders safe when they encounter electrical hazards in their line of duty. This adds to the wealth of expertise, skill and care that Duke Energy employees bring to our work every day. Many of us have lived and worked in this community for decades and we know our system better than anyone. As the City considers the feasibility of taking over Duke Energy's system in Clearwater, I hope the City will consider the skill, dedication and commitment of the Duke Energy workforce in Clearwater and the impact it would have on the community to lose those resources. I hope we will get the chance to work with you and discuss these further to remain focused on the best interests of the City of Clearwater and its citizens.

I work and live in Clearwater, like many Duke employees. In fact, I have grown up in Clearwater the last 39 years. I graduated from Dunedin High School, St. Petersburg College, and now attending University of South Florida. I am an active City of Clearwater volunteer. My focus is on customer service. During Duke Energy's hurricane response, I was stationed at Mobile Customer Care Centers on the beaches, including one on Clearwater beach, where we met our customers where they were and provided a number of needed services to our customers. That time will forever be memorable to me as a Duke Energy employee and a neighbor to those severely impacted by the hurricane. As you undertake a careful review of the study, we ask that you consider the impact that Duke Energy's world-class storm response and energetic employees have on the Clearwater community and what it would mean to our community to lose that. NewGen highlights some potential "off ramps," including working with Duke Energy on customer programs regarding affordability. As you undertake a careful review of the study, I hope you will consider that Duke Energy has a number of programs in place to help customers lower their bills including home energy checks, home improvement rebates, and EnergyWise home program. To help customers save energy and money, we offer a variety of payment options including budget billing (about 10% of Clearwater customers currently enrolled), flexible rate options, installment/payment plans, usage alerts, pick -your -due -date, due date extension. For low-income customers, we offer utility bill assistance (less than 10% of Clearwater customers currently receiving aid), a low-income Clean Energy Connection program, low- income weatherization to help income -qualified customers save energy and reduce expenses through the installation of energy conservation measures in their homes, and a Neighborhood Energy Saver program that offers free walkthrough energy assessments designed to help customers learn how their homes use energy and how they can lower their monthly electric bills. Qualified customers receive up to 21 free energy-saving products installed at no cost. We are very focused on providing value to our customers. Duke Energy's 2025 rates include some rather extraordinary storm recovery costs due to the three hurricanes that affected Pinellas County in 2024. Duke Energy announced a substantial rate reduction as a result of the company's annual rate adjustment. Beginning in March 2026: 1 DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA Bills are expected to decrease by approximately $44.16 for residential customers using 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity when compared to February 2026. Commercial and industrial customers should expect to see bill decreases ranging from9.6% to 15.8% when compared to February 2026, though the specific impact will vary depending on several factors. I am asking you to consider the benefits these programs have for our customers and what it would mean to our community to lose that. As a Clearwater resident myself, I personally do not want electric services provided by anyone other than Duke Energy. I hope we will get the chance to work with you and discuss how to increase awareness of and enrollment in these programs to ensure our efforts are unified and focused on the best interests of Clearwater citizens.

I work in Clearwater at the Clearwater Operations Center at 2166 Palmetto Street. I want to reiterate on behalf of all Duke Energy Florida employees who live and work in the Clearwater community that we remain committed to serving our Clearwater customers. I have worked in this community for many years, and I care deeply about the Clearwater community and what Duke does here. I am proud of the service Duke Energy provides to the Clearwater community and of my part in caring for our customers. In the 21 years I have worked for Duke, I have held many positions from meter reader to currently Florida's Manager of Lighting Programs, one of the most rewarding positions I have held included serving as a Journeyman Lineman restoring power on blue sky days and in our darkest hours. Within the last year, my team has repaired hundreds of streetlights in Clearwater. And, when Hurricanes Helene and Milton hit last year, just like the citizens of Clearwater I was also personally affected by the storms, I looked at Duke Energy as a customer to restore my power as you all do in a timely fashion and they delivered. I have the privilege of leading Duke Energy's Road Clearing Crews coordinating with County State efforts, making sure the roads were clear of downed lines so first responders and line techs could restore the community quickly and safely. Based on my experience, I know how hard it is to keep the lights on. This is especially true in Clearwater, where there are unique aspects to Duke Energy's system, including underwater cables that serve the beaches and a very unique underground network downtown that requires an entire team of specially trained workers to operate and maintain that network. Duke Energy also recently installed "self -healing" technology in the grid in Clearwater. This technology connects customers in Clearwater with other areas of Duke Energy's grids to reduce outage time. The way it works is that when there is an outage in one area of Clearwater, the self -healing technology re-routes power from other areas of Duke's grid to the area where the outage occurred, instantly restoring power, when possible, without the need of waiting for line techs to be dispatched. If Clearwater customers are cut off from the rest of Duke's system, they will lose the benefit of this self -healing technology. As you undertake a careful review of the study, we ask that you consider the impact to Duke Energy's customers by cutting Clearwater off from Duke Energy.

Our commitment to our customers remains stronger than ever. Please enter this letter into the record during your discussion at the city council meeting today of the NewGen feasibility study. As NewGen notes in its study, throughout this process, Duke Energy has cooperatively shared information with NewGen so that our customers and the City have accurate information as the City examines the feasibility of taking over Duke Energy's system. Along those lines, as you undertake a careful review of the study, we ask that you consider the following significant issues with the assumptions made by NewGen.

The report's authors state explicitly on page 4-11, "There can be no guarantee that Clearwater...will achieve cost savings." NewGen's "all -in" preliminary valuation ($572 million) is based on a methodology (AACE Class 5) where the inputs may be off by up to -50% or +100% (Page 2-7). That means NewGen's own study acknowledges the costs of this takeover range from $386 million to $942 million, putting the figure they did choose for analysis on the low side of their overall range. (Page 2-7). NewGen's study uses only $572 million to conduct a projected rate analysis. Yet the study does not outline the impacts to rates if the actual valuation is much higher. NewGen's math for a city takeover of the grid in Clearwater Cost estimates were developed using 2025 pricing estimates and were based on the Association of the Advancement of Cost Engineering's (AACE) Class 5 Estimate, defined as within the range of 50% to +100%, which is an appropriate range of cost estimating for the purposes of this Study.

All these items can be successfully addressed through franchise agreement negotiations.

Please enter this and the attached letter from Concentric Energy Advisors ("Concentric") into the record during your discussion at the city council meeting on September 29 of the NewGen feasibility study. To ensure Duke Energy's customers and the City had a third -party analysis following the City's decision to examine the feasibility of taking over Duke Energy's operations, Duke Energy hired Concentric to provide an independent assessment of the company's system. Concentric has decades of experience studying, analyzing and consulting for utilities all over North America. After spending months studying the value of Duke Energy's service territory, Concentric experts determined it would cost over $1 billion for Clearwater to take over Duke Energy's assets and create a government -run power company. Concentric's study is available online at Concentric- Energv-Advisors-Clearwater-FL-Municipalization Analysis-Briefinq.pdf. As you undertake a careful review of the NewGen study, we ask that you consider Concentric's analysis, as well as significant issues with the NewGen study identified in the attached letter from Concentric. It is important to have reliable information: A thorough review of NewGen's conclusions uncovers possible discrepancies. Kathryn Christian Director, Government and Community Relations 1 CQ . CETKc September 29, 2025 Kathryn Christian Director, Government and Community Affairs Duke Energy Kathryn.Christian@Duke-Enerfor.comy.com CLEARWATER MUNICIPAL FEASIBILITY STUDY RE: NEWGEN CLEARWATER MUNICIPAL FEASIBILITY STUDY Dear Kathryn, At the request of Duke Energy, Concentric Energy Advisors has performed a preliminary high-level review of NewGen Strategies & Solutions' ("NewGen") Municipal Utility Feasibility Study ("Study") prepared for the City of Clearwater, FL. NewGen's analysis reflects careful attention to the relevant Florida legal framework, detailed field assessments of Duke's assets, and a well -structured financial model that clearly lays out potential rate impacts over a 30 -year horizon. However, based on Concentric's initial high-level review, there are differences in NewGen's approach and underlying assumptions compared to Concentric's Preliminary Analysis of Costs to the City of Clearwater, Florida to Assume Duke Energy Florida's Distribution System. These differences may have a material impact on forecasts of average rates. More issues may be identified as we continue to review the analysis. Long-term rate reduction forecast is inconsistent with the scale of distribution costs: The forecasted savings are based on NewGen's forecast of a long-term rate differential between Clearwater MEU and Duke Energy. However, a 24% "all -in" rate differential in 2055 based on a forecasted reduction in distribution is difficult to reconcile to the current rate structures. Annexation risks: NewGen's analysis assumes the Clearwater MEU would serve about 20,000 more customers than are currently served in Clearwater. Expansion into unincorporated areas poses substantial uncertainties and may require incremental costs. Asset inventory errors: NewGen's estimates of total distribution line miles and customer count implies only 26ft of distribution lines per customer. Concentric's understanding is that Duke Energy's estimate for Clearwater is 110ft per customer and the total system average is 130ft per customer. Additionally, the number of distribution poles reported in the NewGen report appears to be in error. Substation complications: The annexation of the Bayview and East Clearwater substations may create unduly onerous arrangements. The assumption that the City would only acquire assets below 69kV implies that the East Clearwater substation would essentially be split in half. Such joint ownership of a substation is uncommon. Valuation flaws: Reproduction Cost New Less Depreciation ("RCNLD") results are distorted by the understated distribution line miles. The Study also appears to overstate accumulated depreciation, which averaged 53% in the Study. Duke Energy's average system accumulated depreciation for distribution assets is 20%. Next, NewGen's reproduction cost new estimate of $48 million for three CONCENTRIC ENERGY ADVISORS I PG. 1 CLEARWATERMUNICIPAL FEASIBILITY STUDY large substations appears to be understated but may be impacted by the assumption of split ownership of the East Clearwater substation. Finally, the RCNLD analysis did not mention the subaqueous cables that serve Clearwater Beach and represent a significant share of the total system value. Separation costs: Concentric's estimate of $305-$342M (2029$) for separation costs meaningfully deviates from NewGen's $68M estimate. While NewGen's assumption of modified City boundaries would indeed lower separation costs, the analysis appears to overlook the need for new Duke Energy substations that would be needed if the City acquires the Bayview and East Clearwater substations. Finally the NewGen study does not address the reliability concerns for Morton Plant Hospital, which today is served by redundant feeders, one of which would be eliminated under municipalization. Ongoing distribution investments: NewGen assumes approximately $18M/year, while Duke Energy historically invested approximately $30M/year in Clearwater. In addition to renewal and replacement of distribution assets, Duke's investments in Clearwater's distribution system include storm hardening. However, NewGen's assumptions appear to omit investments for storm hardening and resiliency improvements. Power supply costs: NewGen's $48/MWh (excluding transmission) benchmark is inconsistent with Concentric's review of actual wholesale supply costs in Florida for a full -requirements portfolio for energy and firm generation capacity. Sales growth: NewGen assumes 1.3% annual load growth versus Duke Energy's 0.7% historical rate. This assumption for annual load growth above historical levels increases forecast sales by approximately 17% by 2055. Because fixed system costs are spread across total system sales, this assumption significantly lowers the MEU's rate forecast. TOTAL SYSTEM VALUATION The table below compares Concentric's preliminary valuation for Clearwater assets, which is based on an assumed 2029 municipalization date, with the estimates developed by NewGen. Concentric's valuation applies "fair market value" principles, designed to estimate what a third -party buyer would pay for these assets in a competitive arms -length market solicitation. It highlights both areas of agreement and significant differences in assumptions. While some of the variation reflects different methodologies, some of NewGen's assumptions materially reduce the Study's total estimate. For the purposes of comparing Concentric's results to the NewGen study we have omitted future stranded generation costs from the table. However, there may be stranded generation costs in the future.

The attached memorandum and the accompanying report provide this information and outline the issues at third quarter that require amendment.

At the March 31, 2025, Council Work Session, there was Council consensus to approve the name change of the Clearwater Airpark to Clearwater Executive Airport. City Ordinance Chapter 2 - Administration governs the airpark advisory committee and City Ordinance Chapter 4 Airports and Aircraft sets forth the rules and use regulations that govern all City of Clearwater airports and landing fields. These Articles have not been amended or updated since 1991 when the name was changed from Clearwater Executive Airport to Clearwater Airpark. The current use of the airport is as an executive airport and the name change would reflect its use more accurately for marketing materials and promotion of the airport. These changes are as follows: Sections 2.081 through 2.084 - Repeal and reserve sections for future use. At the August 6, 2025 special work session, City Council directed staff to sunset the Airpark Advisory Board and update the Clearwater Code of Ordinances by eliminating reference to the Board.

Closing comments by Councilmembers (limited to 3 minutes) Vice Mayor Teixeira said the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk is a sobering reminder that violence has no place in our society.

We must stay committed to addressing our differences through dialogue and democratic engagement, never through violence. She offered her condolences to his family and to those who mourn his loss. She said society has been shaken by another school shooting in Colorado, the anniversary of September 11, and the politically motivated murders of Melissa Hortman and her husband. In the face of such sorrow, we must strive to stay positive and remind ourselves of the loved ones we still have. 13.

SUMMARY: The unaddressed City-owned property located at Heather Ct. is 0.160 acres in size. Staff believes this parcel to be an uneconomic remainder of land and a confirmation of such status shall be made by the City Council through the approval of this agenda item. The Pinellas County Property Appraiser defines this property under property use code 9600 (sewage disposal, solid waste, drainage reservoirs, borrow pit, marsh, mangrove, sand dune, waste land) and has assigned a “just market” value of $85.00 to the property. The request for letters of interest was published on May 14, 2025. Respondents were given 30 days to submit a letter of interest. One submission was received from the individual who owns the adjacent property, a homesteaded single-family residence. The letter of interest included an offer of $85.00 for the parcel, which aligns with the Property Appraiser’s Just Market Value. On July 28, 2025, the Technical Review Committee convened and issued a positive recommendation for the submitted letter of interest. Based on this, staff now recommends declaring the subject property as surplus and proceeding with its disposition and sale, for the proposed sale price of $85.00.

Connection to Vibrating Equipment, including transformers and hydraulic, pneumatic or electric solenoid or motor-operated equipment: Liquidtight flexible conduit. b. Exposed Conduit: Schedule 80 PVC. 2. Minimum size conduit shall be 3/4 inch unless shown otherwise. 3. Instrument Signal Conduit Requirements: Shielded signal wires for 4-20 mA type instruments or thermocouple wires assigned to the same control panel may be run in the same conduit. Shielded instrument signal wires, thermocouple wires, and shielded 2-wire intercom wires may be run in the same conduit. v. 7.2024 126 4. Install expansion fittings in all exposed rigid nonmetallic conduit runs of 20 feet or more. 5. Install expansion/deflection fittings where conduit passes a building expansion joint or where conduits are attached to two structures joined by a concrete expansion joint. 6. Exposed Raceways: Install parallel and perpendicular to nearby surfaces or structural members and follow the surface contours as much as practical. Make bends and offsets so the inside diameter is not effectively reduced. Keep the legs of a bend in the same plane and the straight legs of offsets parallel. Conduits shall slope away from loads to keep moisture from entering the load. Run parallel or banked raceways together. Make bends in parallel or banked runs from the same centerline so that the bends are parallel. Factory elbows may be used in banked runs only where they can be installed parallel. This requires that there be a change in the plane of the run, such as from wall to ceiling and that the raceways be of the same size. In other cases, provide field bends for parallel raceways. Keep raceways at least 6 inches away from parallel runs of flues and steam or hot water pipes. Install horizontal raceway runs above water and steam piping. 7. Space raceways, fittings, and boxes 0.25 inch from mounting surface in NEMA 4 and NEMA 7 areas. Spacers shall be one-piece construction of stainless steel, galvanized steel, PVC, ABS, or other noncorrosive material. 8. Sleeves: Install in concrete floor slabs except where conduit passes through a housekeeping pad. Install in exterior walls below grade. 9. Stub-up Connections: Extend conduits through concrete floor for connection to freestanding equipment with an adjustable top or coupling threaded inside for plugs and set flush with the finished floor. Extend conductors to equipment with rigid metal conduit; flexible metal conduit may be used 6 inches above the floor. Where equipment connections are not made under this Contract, install screwdriver-operated threaded flush plugs with floor. 10. Flexible Connections: Use short length (maximum 6 feet for lighting fixtures; maximum 3 feet for all other equipment) of flexible conduit for recessed and semi-recessed lighting fixtures, equipment subject to vibration, noise transmission, or movement, and all motors. Use liquidtight flexible conduit in wet locations and rated flexible connections for hazardous locations. Install separate ground conductor across flexible connections. 11. Join raceways with fittings designed and approved for the purpose and make joints tight. Where joints cannot be made tight, use bonding jumpers to provide electrical continuity of the raceway system. Where terminations are subject to vibration, use bonding bushings or wedges to assure electrical continuity. Where subject to vibration or dampness, use insulating bushings to protect conductors. 12. Use raceway fittings that are of types compatible with the associated raceway and suitable for the use and location. For intermediate metal conduit, use threaded rigid metal conduit fittings. For PVC externally coated rigid metal conduit, use only factory-coated fittings approved for use with that material. Patch all nicks and scrapes in PVC coating after installing conduit. 13. Install raceway sealing fittings in accordance with the manufacturer's written instructions. Locate fittings at suitable, approved, accessible locations and fill them with UL listed sealing compound. For concealed raceways, install each fitting in a flush metal box with a blank cover plate having a finish similar to that of adjacent plates or surfaces. Install raceway sealing fittings at the following points and elsewhere as indicated: v. 7.2024 127 a. Where conduits enter or leave hazardous locations. b. Where conduits enter or leave NEMA 4X areas. c. Where conduits pass from warm locations to cold locations, such as the boundaries of refrigerated spaces and air-conditioned spaces. d. Where required by the NEC. 1. Install electrical boxes in those locations which ensure ready accessibility to enclosed electrical wiring.

Fasten electrical boxes firmly and rigidly to substrates or structural surfaces to which attached, or solidly embed electrical boxes in concrete masonry. 3. Provide fire-retardant barriers in all pull and junction boxes containing circuits that are otherwise continuously separated in conduit. Securely fasten these barriers within box. Size barriers so that space between barrier and box wall does not exceed 0.125 inch anywhere around the perimeter of barrier. 4. Support exposed raceway within 1 foot of an unsupported box and access fittings. In horizontal runs, support at box and access fittings may be omitted where box or access fittings are independently supported and raceway terminals are not made with chase nipples or threadless box connectors. 5. In open overhead spaces, cast boxes threaded to raceways need not be supported separately except where used for fixture support; support sheet metal boxes directly from building structure. 6. Terminations: Where raceways are terminated with locknuts and bushings, align the raceway to enter squarely and install the locknuts with dished part against the box. Where terminating in threaded hubs, screw the raceway or fitting tight into the hub so the end bears against the wire protection shoulder. Where chase nipples are used, align the raceway so the coupling is square to the box and tighten the chase nipples so no threads are exposed. 7. Complete installation of electrical raceways before starting installation of conductors within raceways and prevent foreign matter from entering raceways by using temporary closure protection. Cap spare conduit. Protect stub-ups from damage where conduits rise from floor slabs. Arrange so curved portion of bends is not visible above the finished slab. 8. Install pull wires in empty raceways: Use No. 14 AWG zinc-coated steel or monofilament plastic line having not less than 200-pound tensile strength. Leave not less than 12 inches of slack at each end of the pull wire. o WIRE AND CABLE INSTALLATION a. Use pulling means including fish tape, cable, rope, and basket weave wire/cable grips which will not damage cables or raceways. Pull conductors simultaneously where more than v. 7.2024 128 one is being installed in same raceway. Use UL listed pulling compound or lubricant where necessary. b. Keep branch circuit conductor splices to minimum. Splice feeders only where indicated. Use a standard kit. No splices are allowed for instrument and telephone cables except at indicated splice points. c. Install splice and tap connectors which possess equivalent or better mechanical strength and insulation rating than conductors being spliced. Use splice and tap connectors which are compatible with conductor material and are UL listed as pressure type connectors. d. Provide adequate length of conductors within electrical enclosures and train conductors to terminal points with no excess. Bundle multiple conductors, with conductors larger than No. 10 AWG cabled in individual circuits. Make terminations so there is no bare conductor at terminal. e. Terminate power conductors at equipment using pressure-type terminals specifically designed for type of terminations to be made. Terminate no more than 2 conductors No. 8 AWG and smaller within the same pressure-type terminal. These 2 conductors shall be no more than 4 wire gauge sizes apart. Terminate no more than 1 conductor larger than No. 8 AWG within any pressure-type terminal. f. Seal wire and cable ends until ready to splice or terminate. o CUTTING AND PATCHING a.

Osceola Avenue Clearwater, FL 33755 File Number: ID#25-0963 Agenda Date: 9/29/2025 Status: Public HearingVersion: 1 File Type: Action ItemIn Control: Public Utilities Agenda Number: 6.4 SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager and designated city representatives to enter into negotiations with Pinellas County for an interlocal agreement for the City of Clearwater’s participation in the Regional Resource Recovery Facility (RRRF). SUMMARY: Pinellas County is proposing the development of a Regional Resource Recovery Facility (RRRF) to provide a long-term, regional solution for biosolids management. The project is currently in Phase 2, which involves the development of bid specifications for the design, construction, and operation of the facility. The County is seeking partner commitments from neighboring municipalities, including the City of Clearwater, to participate in the RRRF through an interlocal agreement. The RRRF aims to address pending regulatory changes and water quality concerns by creating beneficial, reusable, and marketable products from biosolids, such as renewable energy, fertilizers, and compost. The project has explored several treatment technologies, including conventional digestion and thermal drying, thermal hydrolysis process (THP) digestion and thermal drying, and options incorporating pyrolysis and gasification. Pinellas County has provided preliminary estimated total annual costs for various treatment scenarios. For Clearwater, the estimated monthly cost per household ranges from $6.19 to $6.60, depending on the technology chosen, compared to the current monthly cost of $2.52. These estimates will be refined as the project progresses. Participation in the RRRF would require the City to enter into an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County. The terms of this agreement, including cost-sharing, capacity reservation, and other operational details, will be determined through negotiation. This agenda item seeks authorization for the City Manager and designated city representatives to begin these negotiations to explore the feasibility and potential benefits of Clearwater joining the regional facility. The interlocal agreement would be brought back to City Council for consideration once the essential terms and conditions have been negotiated. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: N/A USE OF RESERVE FUNDS: N/A STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item aligns with the Council’s Strategic Plan to achieve a High-Performing Government by maintaining public infrastructure through systematic management efforts and fostering regional cooperation.

The project has been in development for some time and is structured in three phases. Phase 1 explored the concept of centralizing biosolids management practices as a regional solution addressing pending regulatory changes under Florida Administrative Code 62-640 and Senate Bill 712, as well as possible water quality concerns related to PFAS and other contaminants. Beyond compliance, the facility could offer the opportunity to create beneficial, reusable, and marketable products such as renewable energy, fertilizers, compost, and mulch—transforming a challenge into long-term value for our communities. Phase 1 was successfully completed in July 2025. The scope and fee for Phase 2 have now been received from the County’s consultant CDM Smith. Phase 2 of the project will be development of bid specifications for design, construction, and operation of the facility. Before moving forward with a recommendation to award Phase 2, it is critical we secure partner commitments. Phase 2 will include the development and execution of interlocal agreements with each participating organization. A copy of the Phase 2 proposal is attached, noting the quote is from January and will require updating. Your decision to participate is essential to shaping the future of a regional biosolids management solution. I respectfully request your written response confirming whether your organization will join as a partner in the RRRF or decline to participate by October 10, 2026. Thank you for your leadership and timely response. Together, let us build an environmentally safe, cost-effective, and forward-looking solution for the region. Sincerely, Barry A.

Osceola Avenue Clearwater, FL 33755 File Number: ID#25-0955 Agenda Date: 9/29/2025 Status: Public HearingVersion: 1 File Type: Action ItemIn Control: Gas System Agenda Number: 6.7 SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION: Authorize purchase orders to Control Southern, Inc. of Suwanee, GA, DevTech Sales, Inc. of Avon Park, FL, Equipment Controls Company of Norcross, GA, Technico of Lake Worth, FL for the purchase of natural gas meters and regulators in the cumulative annual not-to-exceed amount of $1,600,000.00 for the term October 1, 2025 through September 31, 2026, with the two, one-year renewal options pursuant to Invitation to Bid 45-25 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. SUMMARY: Invitation to Bid 45-25, Natural Gas Meters and Regulators was released on July 11, 2025, and five bid submissions were received on August 11, 2025. Specifications were reviewed for compliance, and following evaluation, Clearwater Gas System (CGS) Energy determined that the four companies listed represent the lowest, most responsible bidders for specific line items. Award is therefore recommended as outlined below: PRIMARY AWARDS: ·Control Southern of Suwannee, GA: o Items 20-21: Direct Operated Pressure Reducing Regulators o Item 22: Constant Pressure Pilot Loaded Regulators o Item 23: 2” Flanged Spring Loaded Self-Regulated Regulator o Item 24: 2” Female Pipe Thread Loaded, Self Operated Gas Regulator o Item 25: 1 1/4” Spring Loaded Self Operated Gas Regulator o Items 27-28: Spring Loaded Throttling Relief Back Pressure Regulator o Item 29: Backpressure Regulator o Item 30: Pressure Reducing Regulator o Item 31: Backpressure Regulator o Item 36: Pilot Operated Pressure Reducing Regulator o Item 37: Pilot Operated Pressure Relief Valve ·Devtech Sales, Inc. of Avon Park, FL: o Items 3-8: 600, 800, 1000 Class CFG (NTC) Aluminum Meters o Item 10: Romet or Roots 5M Rotary Meter o Items 11-13: Romet or Roots 7M, 11M, 16M Rotary Meters o Items 14-15: HRS ¾” Angle Body (60 PSIG and 6 PSIG) o Items 16-17: HRS 3/4” Globe Body (60 PSIG and 6 PSIG) o Items 18-19: HRS 1” Globe Body (60 PSIG and 6 PSIG) o Item 32: Strainers o Item 33: 2” Filter o Item 34: 3” Filter o Item 35: 4” Filter ·Equipment Controls Company of Norcross, GA: o Item 1-2: 200, 400 Class CFH (NTC) Aluminum Meters Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 9/23/2025 File Number: ID#25-0955 o Item 9: Romet or Roots 3M Rotary Meter ·Technico of Lake Worth, FL: o Item 26: 1 ¼” Spring Loaded Self Operated Gas Regulator SECONDARY AWARDS: ·Control Southern of Suwannee, GA: o Items 16: HRS 3/4” Globe Body (60 PSIG and 6 PSIG) ·Devtech Sales, Inc. of Avon Park, FL: o Item 1-2: 200, 400 Class CFH (NTC) Aluminum Meters o Item 9: Romet or Roots 3M Rotary Meter o Items 21: Direct Operated Pressure Reducing Regulator o Item 26: 1 ¼” Spring Loaded Self Operated Gas Regulator o Items 27-28: Spring Loaded Throttling Relief Back Pressure Regulator o Item 29: Backpressure Regulator o Item 30: Pressure Reducing Regulator o Item 31: Backpressure Regulator o Item 36: Pilot Operated Pressure Reducing Regulator o Item 37: Pilot Operated Pressure Relief Valve ·Equipment Controls Company of Norcross, GA: o Item 10: Romet or Roots 5M Rotary Meter o Items 11-13: Romet or Roots 7M, 11M, 16M Rotary Meters o Items 20: Direct Operated Pressure Reducing Regulator ·Technico of Lake Worth, FL: o Items 14-15: HRS ¾” Angle Body (60 PSIG and 6 PSIG) o Items 17: HRS 3/4” Globe Body (60 PSIG and 6 PSIG) o Items 18-19: HRS 1” Globe Body (60 PSIG and 6 PSIG) o Item 22: Constant Pressure Pilot Loaded Regulators o Item 23: 2” Flanged Spring Loaded Self-Regulated Regulator o Item 24: 2” Female Pipe Thread Loaded, Self Operated Gas Regulator To ensure continuity of supply, CGS Energy requests flexibility to purchase from secondary sources as needed. While Equipment Controls Company was awarded the 200- and 400-series gas meters (Items #1 and #2) as the lowest responsive bidder, CGS Energy currently has a surplus inventory of 2,100 Automated Meter Reading (AMR) endpoints (model ERG-5006-001) that are only compatible with DevTech, (American) meters, which were awarded as the secondary vendor. Purchasing from Devtech enables CGS Energy to utilize its existing inventory and avoid the additional expense of purchasing a different model of AMR not currently stocked in the warehouse. As a corrective measure, CGS Energy will update its meter endpoint purchase order with Devtech, the sole-source provider of Itron endpoints, to include models compatible with Equipment Controls meters. In the interim, CGS Energy requests authorization to purchase the 200 and 400 series meters from Devtech, the secondary awardee, to ensure uninterrupted operations and customer service until the existing inventory of endpoints is fully utilized. Once the current inventory has been depleted and provided the combined cost of meters from Equipment Controls with Devtech endpoints remains the most economical option, future purchases will be made from the primary vendor for these meters. All awarded equipment is code-approved and will be used on the CGS Energy distribution system for new customer installations and for replacing meters that have reached the end of their service life. In addition, CGS Energy is not obligated to expend the entire amount being requested. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: Funding is budgeted and available in 3237323-96367 (Gas Meter Change-out Capitalized Pinellas) and 3237323-96379 (Gas Meter Change-out Capitalized Pasco).

The City may seek clarification of the bid from bidder at any time, and failure to respond is cause for rejection. Submission of a bid confers on bidder no right to an award or to a subsequent contract. The City is charged by its Charter to make an award that is in the best interest of the City. All decisions on compliance, evaluation, terms and conditions shall be made solely at the City’s discretion and made to favor the City. No binding contract will exist between the bidder and the City until the City executes a written contract or purchase order. 2.15 Official Solicitation Document Changes to the solicitation document made by a bidder may not be acknowledged or accepted by the City.

The responsibility for implementing this v. 7.2024 5 policy rests with each individual who participates in the Procurement process, including Respondents and Contractors. To achieve this purpose, it is essential that Respondents and Contractors doing business with the City also observe the ethical standards prescribed herein. It shall be a breach of ethical standards to: A. Exert any effort to influence any City employee or agent to breach the standards of ethical conduct. B. Intentionally invoice any amount greater than provided in Contract or to invoice for Materials or Services not provided. C. Intentionally offer or provide sub-standard Materials or Services or to intentionally not comply with any term, condition, specification or other requirement of a City Contract. 2.18 Gifts The City will accept no gifts, gratuities or advertising products from bidders or prospective bidders and affiliates.

A protesting bidder must include a fee of one percent of the amount of the bid or proposed contract to offset the City’s additional expenses related to the protest. This fee shall not exceed $5,000.00 nor be less than $50.00. Full refund will be provided should the protest be upheld. No partial refunds will be made. ADDRESS PROTESTS TO: City of Clearwater - Procurement Division 1255 Cleveland St, 3rd FL Clearwater FL 33755 or PO Box 4748 Clearwater FL 33758-4748 2.20 Evaluation Process Bids will be reviewed by the Procurement Division and representative(s) of the respective department(s). The City staff may or may not initiate discussions with bidders for clarification purposes. Clarification is not an opportunity to change the bid. Bidders shall not initiate discussions with any City employee or official. Respondent is hereby notified that Section 287.05701, Florida Statutes, requires that the City may not request documentation of or consider a vendor's social, political, or ideological interests when determining if the vendor is a responsible vendor. 2.21 Criteria for Evaluation and Award The City evaluates three (3) categories of information: responsiveness, responsibility, and price. All bids must meet the following responsiveness and responsibility criteria to be considered further. A. Responsiveness. The City will determine whether the bid complies with the instructions for submitting bids including completeness of bid which encompasses the inclusion of all required v. 7.2024 6 attachments and submissions. The City must reject any bids that are submitted late. Failure to meet other requirements may result in rejection. B. Responsibility. The City will determine whether the bidder is one with whom it can or should do business. Factors that the City may evaluate to determine "responsibility" include, but are not limited to: excessively high or low priced bids, past performance, references (including those found outside the bid), compliance with applicable laws-including tax laws, bidder's record of performance and integrity - e.g. has the bidder been delinquent or unfaithful to any contract with the City, whether the bidder is qualified legally to contract with the City, financial stability and the perceived ability to perform completely as specified. A bidder must at all times have financial resources sufficient, in the opinion of the City, to ensure performance of the contract and must provide proof upon request. City staff may also use Dun & Bradstreet and/or any generally available industry information. The City reserves the right to inspect and review bidder’s facilities, equipment and personnel and those of any identified subcontractors. The City will determine whether any failure to supply information, or the quality of the information, will result in rejection. C. Price. We will then evaluate the bids that have met the requirements above 2.22 Cost Justification In the event only one response is received, the City may require that the bidder submit a cost proposal in sufficient detail for the City to perform a cost/price analysis to determine if the bid price is fair and reasonable. 2.23 Contract Negotiations and Acceptance Bidder must be prepared for the City to accept the bid as submitted.

The City is exempt from paying state and local sales/use taxes and certain federal excise taxes and will furnish an exemption certificate upon request. 3.12 Amounts Due the City Contractor must be current and remain current in all obligations due to the City during the performance of services under the Agreement.

A default notice will be deemed to be sufficient if it is reasonably calculated to provide notice of the nature and extent of such default. Failure of the non-defaulting party to provide notice of the default does not waive any rights under the Agreement. D. Anticipatory Repudiation.

In the event that the demand is made and no written assurance is given within five (5) calendar days, the City may treat this failure as an anticipatory repudiation of the Agreement. 3.18 Remedies v. 7.2024 12 The remedies set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive.

Coverage must be applicable to employees, contractors, subcontractors, and volunteers, if any. 5.5 Waiver of Subrogation With regard to any policy of insurance that would pay third party losses, Contractor hereby grants City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of the Contractor may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Contractor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect such waiver, but this provision shall apply to such policies regardless of whether or not the city has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from each insurer. The above insurance limits may be achieved by a combination of primary and umbrella/excess liability policies. 5.6 Other Insurance Provisions v. 7.2024 20 Prior to the execution of this Agreement, and then annually upon the anniversary date(s) of the insurance policy’s renewal date(s) for as long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Vendor will furnish the City with a Certificate of Insurance(s) (using appropriate ACORD certificate, SIGNED by the Issuer, and with applicable endorsements) evidencing all of the coverage set forth above and naming the City as an “Additional Insured” on the Commercial General Liability Insurance and the Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance. In addition when requested in writing from the City, Vendor will provide the City with certified copies of all applicable policies. The address where such certificates and certified policies shall be sent or delivered is as follows: City of Clearwater Attn: Procurement Division, 45-25 P.O. Box 4748 Clearwater, FL 33758-4748 Vendor shall provide thirty (30) days written notice of any cancellation, non-renewal, termination, material change or reduction in coverage. Vendor’s insurance as outlined above shall be primary and non-contributory coverage for Vendor’s negligence. Vendor reserves the right to appoint legal counsel to provide for the Vendor’s defense, for any and all claims that may arise related to Agreement, work performed under this Agreement, or to Vendor’s design, equipment, or service. Vendor agrees that the City shall not be liable to reimburse Vendor for any legal fees or costs as a result of Vendor providing its defense as contemplated herein. The stipulated limits of coverage above shall not be construed as a limitation of any potential liability to the City, and City’s failure to request evidence of this insurance shall not be construed as a waiver of Vendor’s (or any contractors’, subcontractors’, representatives’ or agents’) obligation to provide the insurance coverage specified.

Ultimately if we cannot reach a mutual amical resolution, Bay Esplanade will likely donate its fee -simple titles to a third party such as the Public Trust from whence they came, take a tax deduction, and effectively close both cases. 7. The $3.5M price is for all of Parcel A - which includes both Parcel Ai, and Parcel Aii. Additionally, it includes, for that same $3.5 M transaction, a quitclaim for Parcel 2 to resolve any vestige of ambiguity. We suggest that we Table this item Today to consider our proposal and add it to a Future City of Clearwater City Commission Meeting to Discuss. Timeline In April 2018, the State of Florida Board of Trustees granted BayEsplanade.com, LLC good fee -simple title to the submerged lands adjoining the City's Rec Center property.

Rosemarie Call, MPA, MMC Senior Assistant City Attorney City Clerk Cover Memo City of Clearwater Main Library - Council Chambers 100 N. Osceola Avenue Clearwater, FL 33755 File Number: 9851-25 Agenda Date: 9/29/2025 Status: Second ReadingVersion: 1 File Type: OrdinanceIn Control: Office of Management & Budget Agenda Number: 7.2 SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Ordinance 9851-25 on second reading and amend the City’s fiscal year 2024/25 operating budget at third quarter. SUMMARY: The fiscal year 2024/25 operating and capital improvement budgets were adopted in September 2024 by ordinances 9793-24 and 9794-24. Section 2.521 of the City’s Code of Ordinances requires the City Manager to prepare a quarterly report detailing income, expenditure estimates, collections, the explanation of significant variances, as well as the financial status of all capital improvement projects. The attached memorandum and the accompanying report provide this information and outline the issues at third quarter that require amendment. STRATEGIC PRIORITY: The budgeting process aligns resource allocation to the advancement of our community in all five strategic priorities: high performing government, economic and housing opportunity, community well-being, environmental stewardship, and superior public service. Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 9/23/2025 Third Quarter Budget Review Fiscal Year 2024-25 Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Jennifer Poirrier, City Manager COPIES: Daniel Slaughter, Assistant City Manager Alfred Battle Jr., Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Third Quarter budget review - amended City Manager's annual budget report DATE: September 2, 2025 Attached is the third quarter budget review in accordance with the City Code of Ordinances. This report is based on the first nine months of activity in the current fiscal year (October 2024 through June 2025). Contained within are comments on major variances and documentation of proposed amendments. Significant Fund amendments are outlined below: General Fund General Fund revenue and expenditure amendments reflect a net increase of $402,985. The General Fund expenditure amendments at third quarter include an increase of $70,000 to the City Attorney’s Office for unforeseen costs (vacation sellback as allowed by City policy, new software needs, and outside counsel costs for affirmative litigation relating to Coachman Park); an increase of $382,985 to Police and Fire supplemental pension to bring the budget in line with actual revenues and expenditures; and increase of $450,000 to Fire Department personnel costs to cover emergency overtime costs from storm response and retirement payouts of long-term employees; and a decrease of $500,000 to Parks and Recreation to reduce Pier 60 operating costs due to closure from storm damage and lost revenue. At third quarter various revenues are amended to bring the budget in line with anticipated receipts for the year. This includes reductions to utility and franchise fee revenues, reduced sales tax revenue, and a reduction to Pier 60 revenues due to closure from storm damage. These decreases are offset by increases to various revenues including insurance recovery for lost revenues at Pier 60, increases to permit fees, state revenue sharing, EMS tax, red light camera fines, and dividends from the Gas system. Adjusted for expenditure increases noted above, this results in a net revenue surplus of $705,453 which reduces the use of reserves previously allocated this year. General Fund Reserves: In order to ensure adequate reserves, the City Council’s policy reflects that General Fund unappropriated fund reserves of 8.5% of the City’s budgeted General Fund expenditures must be maintained as a reserve to guard against future emergencies. Estimated General Fund reserves at third quarter are approximately $60.9 million, or 27.2% of the proposed fiscal year 2025/26 General Fund expenditure budget, exceeding our minimum reserve requirement by $41.9 million. Third Quarter Budget Review Fiscal Year 2024-25 Significant amendments to other city operating funds are noted as follows: Gas Fund Amendments to Gas Fund expenditures reflect an increase of $1,264,959 to interfund transfers which represents the increase in the gas dividend payment to the General Fund. In addition, Gas revenues are amended by an increase of $725,000 for sale of property in Pasco County, and a decrease of $5,000,000 in PGA revenues due to market adjustments in the rate. An allocation of $5,539,959 of Gas Fund reserves is necessary to offset the net of revenue and expenditure amendments. Marine Fund Amendments to Marine Fund expenditures reflect a decrease of $2,000,000 to cost of goods sold (fuel purchases) offset by a revenue amendment decreasing fuel sales by $2,000,000 due to closure of the Marina for construction. Parking Fund Amendments to Parking Fund revenues reflect a decrease of $1,000,000 to parking revenues due to closures of beach parking lots during Hurricane Helene recovery. This reduction is offset by an allocation from fund reserves necessary to balance the budget. Capital Improvement Program Third quarter amendments to the capital improvement program reflect a net increase of $6,048,461. Amendments include the following increases previously approved by the Council: $2,670,554 in lease purchase revenue to the Motorized Equipment Replacement project; $1,523,634 in lease purchase revenue to the Motorized Equipment Purchase project; and $377,788 in grant revenue from FDOT and $94,447 in reimbursement revenue for the Apron Relayment project. Project activity not previously approved by the Council is summarized on page 19. Significant amendments include an increase of $193,642 in property owner share revenues in the Pinellas New Mains and Pasco Line Relocation projects; a decrease of $25,772 in lease purchase budget to close the P&R Vehicle Additions project; an increase of $400,000 in the Arts and Cultural Affairs project representing art funding transferred from capital projects; and an increase of $800,000 transferred from the General Fund to create the Landscape Renovation and Repairs project.

Renaming this central thoroughfare would serve as a lasting tribute to the principles he championed and a reminder of our city’s commitment to protect and uphold these values for future generations.

To honor someone like that in this way would mark Clearwater's agreement with his viewpoints. For that reason, I'd strongly oppose this effort. Neil Finn Location: Submitted At: 2:28pm 09-28-25 Charlie Kirk was a controversial figure known for his provocative conservative activism and outspoken views. Honoring him by renaming Court Street is endorsing or overlooking his divisive rhetoric, which many consider inflammatory or harmful. Public streets should be named for individuals who contribute to the well-being of the entire community, not just for a chosen few. Here are a few examples of Kirk's divisive comments: If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified." The Charlie Kirk Show, January 23, 2024 Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that's a fact. It's happening more and more." The Charlie Kirk Show, May 19, 2023 If I'm dealing with somebody in customer service who's a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?" The Charlie Kirk Show, Jan. 3, 2024 If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they're coming out and they're saying it for us ... You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously." The Charlie Kirk Show, July 13, 2023 Kirk has also promoted conspiracy theories such as falsely claiming that the 2020 election was stolen, undermining trust in democratic institutions. Additionally, Kirk has used language framing the LGBTQ+ community as a threat to traditional values, calling gender identity discussions "toxic" and "dangerous" to society. These instances exemplify his tendency to promote divisiveness and bigotry rather than fostering unity and understanding. By voting to name a street after Charlie Kirk, you are basically confirming to your constituents that you are okay promoting racism, antisemitism and prejudice towards the LGBTQ+ and other communities. It shows no regard whatsoever, and is an insult, to those in your community who are the subjects of this hateful rhetoric. Please reject this consideration. Jodi Short Location: Submitted At: 10:33am 09-28-25 I do not support renaming a street after someone who does not represent most people in Pinellas County. Most of his statements and beliefs were devisive, not inclusive. Lisa Colburn Location: Submitted At: 8:27pm 09-27-25 As a taxpaying Clearwater resident of 20 years, I strongly oppose the proposal to change the name of Court Street. Brooke Beloso Location: Submitted At: 7:27pm 09-27-25 I am a citizen of Clearwater in opposition to this agenda item to rename Court Street to Charlie Kirk Way. Charlie Kirk dedicated himself to spreading hate and bigotry, and hate and bigotry deserve no place of honor in our community. Rowland Johnson Location: Submitted At: 5:09pm 09-27-25 Statement in Opposition to Item 10.2 — Clearwater City Council (9/28/25)** I strongly oppose Item 10.2 on the agenda, as it represents a profound disregard for the constituents of Clearwater that Councilman Ryan Cotton was elected to serve. The role of an elected official is not to advance personal ideologies but to represent the diverse voices, values, and lived experiences of the entire community. By supporting or aligning with initiatives rooted in polarizing rhetoric, Mr. Cotton risks undermining the very foundation of trust and inclusivity that our city council should uphold. It is particularly troubling when we recognize the kind of divisive speech that has been championed by public figures Mr. Cotton appears to admire or emulate. For example, in Charlie Kirk's speeches and debates, there have been repeated instances of language that disparages marginalized groups, foments division, and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. Whether in his public comments about immigrants, dismissive remarks about racial equity, or inflammatory responses during debates, this type of rhetoric has been widely condemned as exclusionary and, in many cases, hateful. When such attitudes find their way into the discourse of our local leaders, it sends a chilling message to residents who expect fairness, dignity, and respect from their representatives. Our community deserves a council that elevates constructive dialogue, not one that echoes the tone of national figures who thrive on controversy and division. The people of Clearwater are not monolithic; they are a mosaic of cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds. When Mr. Cotton allows his personal opinions, shaped by inflammatory voices, to dictate policy or influence the council's agenda, he disrespects this diversity. Public service requires setting aside personal leanings to prioritize the common good. Anything Tess is an abdication of duty. Furthermore, tying city business to ideologies rooted in hostility or exclusion cheapens the integrity of the council chamber. It replaces thoughtful governance with performative politics. Constituents are not asking Mr. Cotton to parrot cable news talking points or debate -club tactics; they are asking him to solve real issues—affordable housing, infrastructure, public safety, and economic development. By indulging in divisive discourse, Mr. Cotton shifts focus away from these pressing needs, leaving residents underserved. For these reasons, I urge the council to reject Item 10.2 and reaffirm that Clearwater will not allow personal bias and rhetoric that mirrors hate speech to steer its public policy. Our city deserves leadership that listens, respects, and acts in the best interests of all its residents—not just those who agree with one official's personal worldview. Megan Carter Location: Submitted At: 3:17pm 09-27-25 There are local heros, firefighters, police and veterans, that are more deserving of this honor. Kaleena Zagrzebski Location: Submitted At: 1:12pm 09-26-25 I strongly oppose this proposal to change the name of Court Street in the City of Clearwater. Charlie Kirk left a legacy of hate and division that are a stain on the very fabric of America and an insult to decent humans everywhere. While Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be murdered for his words of hate, neither does he deserve to be venerated nor honored. Keely Johnson Location: Submitted At: 9:46am 09-26-25 This is ridiculous. As stupid as changing the name of the Gulf. How much money is it going to cost tax payers to change signs and maps?!??! I don't want my hard earned money changing signs, I want free lunches for students! Access to Health Services! WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER STUPID NAME CHANGE FOR ANYTHING. FIX THE DAILY LIVES OF YOUR CONSTITIENTS! Karen Pickell Location: Submitted At: 7:59am 09-26-25 Clearwater is home to a diverse population and is a vacation destination for people of all viewpoints from around the world. Charlie Kirk was a polarizing figure who espoused hateful views of black people, LGBTQ people, and Democrats, among others. His organization published a watchlist of college professors whose teaching he opposed, leading to many of those professors receiving death threats and requiring protection for themselves and their families. Councilman Cotton has shown his true colors with this proposal. This Clearwater resident is horrified at the suggestion that we should tarnish our city's reputation by honoring someone who lacked respect for many of the people who live and visit here. Shame on you, Councilman Cotton. Nancy Hapner Location: Submitted At: 12:47am 09-26-25 To the City Council: I respectfully urge you to reject the proposal to rename Court Street in honor of Charlie Kirk. Lack of local connection Memorializing someone by naming public infrastructure should reflect their meaningful ties or contributions to Clearwater. Charlie Kirk is a national political commentator, but I do not see how he has materially served or enriched our local community in a way that justifies this honor. In contrast, there are many local leaders, activists, educators, or historical figures whose contributions are direct and relevant to our neighborhoods. The danger of partisanship in public infrastructure Streets and other public features should ideally be non-partisan, shared by all community members regardless of political views. Naming a street after a polarizing political figure risks alienating residents who don't share his ideology, and may deepen divisions. In multiple other places, similar proposals have prompted fierce backlash from residents precisely because they saw the change as political rather than civic. Controversial and harmful rhetoric Charlie Kirk has made statements in the past that I and many others in Clearwater find offensive and harmful. He is on -record saying a number of things that are misogynist, racist and anti-Semetic. He said birth control messes with women's brains. He said "black women" don't have the brain power to hold certain jobs, so they have to steal a white man's job. He accused Jews of funding "cultural Marxism" and undermining the United States. To honor someone publicly is to confer legitimacy. If a figure has a record of polarizing or derogatory statements, choosing them for a street name sends a message about whose values we elevate—and that choice matters. Practical and burdensome implications Renaming a street is not just symbolic—it imposes real burdens on residents and property owners: address changes, updating mailing and legal documents, possible confusion with services (emergency response, mail delivery), and other administrative costs. Those negative impacts are borne by neighbors regardless of their political views. Risk of re -litigating the past If a controversial figure is honored today, future generations may view aspects of their legacy more critically. What feels like a celebratory gesture now could become a liability later—or provoke future efforts to remove or rename. We should be cautious about locking in partisanship in our public spaces. I live off of Court Street. I don't want to have to see this hateful man's name every time I drive downtown. Please do not rename any street in our beautiful city after him. Michael Sanford Location: Submitted At: 10:42pm 09-25-25 I strongly oppose this shameful proposal to change the name of Court Street in the City of Clearwater. Charlie Kirk left a legacy of hate and division that are a stain on the very fabric of America and an insult to decent humans everywhere. His debates were nothing more than a ruse to give ignorant people an excuse to blame others for their own failings, and while Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be murdered for his words of hate, neither does he deserve to be venerated nor honored. Sadly, this proposal is just one more example of the rampant hypocrisy in today's rotting, festering carcass of the Republican Party. Laura Hubbard Location: Submitted At: 9:24pm 09-25-25 In the name of harmony, please do not rename anything in Mr. kirk's honor. He was divisive, calloused & outright Racist. Combative, in the name of christ, doesn't represent this, our beautiful Seminole Clear -waters Gulf town.. And certainly will bring sorrow to the African Americans living here - as well as anyone believing there are better ways to accomplish loving community. Michelle Cherny Location: Submitted At: 8:54pm 09-25-25 Commissioners, I am writing to voice my strong opposition to the proposal to rename Court Street to "Charlie Kirk Way." I have lived in Clearwater my entire 49 years, and I care deeply about preserving the history and character of our city. Court Street has long been tied to Clearwater's civic identity — the Old Pinellas County Courthouse, built in1917-1918 and still in use today, stands at 315 Court Street, anchoring it as part of the judicial center of our community. While I have not found a formal ordinance explicitly stating this is the origin of the name, it is clear that Court Street's identity has been historically associated with the courthouse and the city's judicial core. Street names carry weight. They tell a story about who we are as a community. Replacing Court Street with the name of a polarizing political commentator with no ties to Clearwater would strip away that context and risk sending the message that our city is more interested in partisan gestures than in honoring its own history. ThatwouldbedeeplyunfairtotheneighborhoodandtoClearwaterresidentsasawhole. If the Commission feels a change is necessary, the name should reflect the area itself in a unifying way — such as Heights Avenue or Heritage Avenue — rather than introducing unnecessary controversy. Even better, Court Street should remain Court Street, preserving the name that fits both its history and its civic role. As a lifelong Clearwater resident, I strongly urge you to reject this proposal. Please preserve Court Street as it is, or if a change must occur, select a name that reflects the neighborhood in a respectful, unifying way. Thank you for your time and for considering the voices of residents like myself who want the best for our city. Ruth Cariola Location: Submitted At: 8:44pm 09-25-25 Absolutely NOT! Charlie Kirk's murder was horrible. No one condones violence no matter what side of the aisle you are on. Charlie Kirk spoke and condoned hate wrapped up and delivered in Bible scriptures. Clearwater has been damaged enough. This man was no martyr and does not deserve this kind of recognition. Elizabeth Schwartz Location: Submitted At: 8:06pm 09-25-25 Kirk is a divisive figure. Leave Court Street alone. The name is perfect as is. Patricia Barris Location: Submitted At: 6:59pm 09-25-25 This is extremely divisive and will only divide the community. This is reckless and unnecessary. Kim Brown Location: Submitted At: 6:16pm 09-25-25 This would be very disrespectful to the minority community. His views do not align with what I would like our city to represent. Barbara Fisher Location: Submitted At: 4:06pm 09-25-25 The man was not as noble as Councilman Cotton asserts. He had many undesirable qualities that go with remembering him by any street dedication. I would be very uncomfortable traveling Court under those circumstances.

Hello Clearwater Council, I am writing to oppose the renaming of Court St. Renaming the street after an extremely polarizing figure will divide our community. Charlie Kirk's murder was tragic, and it shows how much this country needs to allow free speech and that violence is not a solution for differences of opinion. But renaming Court St would only make matters worse. There are many people that support a great future for Clearwater, but do not support Charlie Kirk's vision for America. Please keep that mind. People in our community want our Council to be focused on streets, safe water, parks, recreation centers, helping us save money, and safe neighborhoods. Please don't bring national politics into our community. We need leaders that stand up for all parts of our community, not just certain portions of it. Thank you.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Council Member(s), I strongly oppose the proposal to change the name of Court Street. As a concerned resident of Pinellas County, and on behalf of other residents and property owners in the area, I believe this change would have a negative impact on our community. My opposition is based on the following practical and financial concerns: 1. Financial burden for residents and businesses: A street name change would force all residents and businesses to update their legal and financial documents. This includes property titles, driver's licenses, bank accounts, and credit card information. Businesses would face additional costs for changing their marketing materials, signage, and business listings. This is an unnecessary and significant financial burden for the community. 2. Impact on the Court System and Legal Community: Significant disruption of court operations and citizen confusion will occur -- notices, directions for court appearances of all sorts, record requests among other items would be impacted by a street name change. There will be a significant cost for these changes, which will fall upon the state and the county, as well as upon Clearwater. The entire local legal community will also be required to change their forms and procedures to reflect a change of address for the courthouse. 3. Significant administrative hassle: The process of updating addresses is a time-consuming and frustrating experience for individuals and families. This change would require residents to notify various entities, including utility companies, postal services, financial institutions, and insurance providers. 4. Public and emergency service confusion: Changing a Tong -established street name can cause confusion for postal carriers, delivery services, and, most critically, emergency responders. Even a slight possibility of confusion could delay critical services and pose a safety risk to residents. 5. Loss of historical identity: The existing name, Court Street, has been part of our community's history. The loss of this historical marker erodes a piece of our neighborhood's character and heritage. 6. No demonstrable community benefit: To my knowledge, the community has not been presented with a compelling reason for this change that would justify the immense cost and disruption it would cause. The proposed change does not address any existing problems related to the street. 1 I urge you to consider the significant negative impacts this change would have on the community and to reject the proposal to rename Court Street. I believe our collective time and resources would be better spent on other municipal priorities. Marjorie Wright Dunedin, FL 2 CaII, Rosemarie From: melinda J.

We value our relationship with Clearwater and will continue to work with the City each day on projects, opportunities and proactively addressing any concerns. Just last week, we announced local Duke Energy grant recipients, remembering last year's Hurricanes Helene and Milton, when we showed up for our customers when they needed us most. Our commitment to our customers remains stronger than ever. Please enter this letter into the record during your discussion at the city council meeting today of the NewGen feasibility study. As NewGen notes in its study, throughout this process, Duke Energy has cooperatively shared information with NewGen so that our customers and the City have accurate information as the City examines the feasibility of taking over Duke Energy's system. Along those lines, as you undertake a careful review of the study, we ask that you consider the following significant issues with the assumptions made by NewGen. These deficiencies and uncertainties in the study, when corrected, change the picture dramatically, likely eliminating any speculated savings to customers. It is crucial not to be misled by these "findings," as a thorough examination reveals the true impact and potential inaccuracies. ISSUE 1: NewGen's own study makes no definitive findings and shows a city takeover cannot guarantee cost savings or lower rates to customers; NewGen acknowledges a takeover could cost upwards of $1B ISSUE 2: An "overnight" transition to a city -owned utility cannot occur so costs will be higher ISSUE 3: NewGen's estimated start-up costs are inconsistent with their own example, and higher costs could increase taxpayer burden ISSUE 4: NewGen used obsolete Duke Energy rate data and assumptions in its rate analysis, virtually eliminating speculated savings 1 DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA Melissa Seizes State President - Florida Duke Energy Florida 299 First Avenue North St. Petersburg, FL 33701 Mel issa. Seixas©duke-energy. com ISSUE 1: NewGen's own study makes no definitive findings and shows a city takeover cannot guarantee cost savings or lower rates to customers; NewGen acknowledges a takeover could cost upwards of $1 B Although the NewGen study suggests rate reductions may be possible and makes recommendations based on a single "all -in" valuation number of $572 million, NewGen acknowledges there is a great deal of uncertainty as to the actual total cost. The report's authors state explicitly on page 4-11, "There can be no guarantee that Clearwater...will achieve cost savings." NewGen's "all -in" preliminary valuation ($572 million) is based on a methodology (AACE Class 5) where the inputs may be off by up to -50% or +100% (Page 2-7). That means NewGen's own study acknowledges the costs of this takeover range from $386 million to $942 million, putting the figure they did choose for analysis on the low side of their overall range. (Page 2-7). NewGen's study uses only $572 million to conduct a projected rate analysis. Yet the study does not outline the impacts to rates if the actual valuation is much higher. NewGen's math for a city takeover of the grid in Clearwater Cost estimates were developed using 2025 pricing estimates and were based on the Association of the Advancement of Cost Engineering's (AACE) Class 5 Estimate, defined as within the range of 50% to +100%, which is an appropriate range of cost estimating for the purposes of this Study. (Feasabl!it,, ; :!d; p. 2 There can be no guarantee that Clearwater... will achieve cost savings". Feasibility study p. 4-11)1 Duke's Assets Carving out Clearwater Start-up costs Reserves 2 386 MILLION 185M 68M 70M 63M LOW 50%) "ESTIMATE" (+100%) 943 MILLION 742M 68M 70M 63M NEWGEN HIGH D ENUERKE GY FLORIDA Melissa Seixas State President - Florida Duke Energy Florida 299 First Avenue North St. Petersburg, FL 33701 Melissa.Seixas@duke-energy.com ISSUE 2: An "overnight" transition to a city -owned utility cannot occur so costs will be higher Duke Energy's property is not for sale. Any acquisition would have to utilize the long process of eminent domain. NewGen states directly in their full report that they are assuming an overnight" conversion to a city -owned utility. In other words, NewGen uses today's dollars to estimate the acquisition costs, even while they also acknowledge on page 4-1 that "it would likely be a long process that could take several years to complete". In addition, the purported savings that NewGen projects depend on multiple assumptions that are outside the City's control and, we believe, are not accurately estimated in the study: wholesale power and transmission prices, fuel costs, litigation outcomes, interest rates, and the City's ability to serve—and seize—outside-boundary "enclave" areas, including two Duke Energy substations located in those enclaves. For example, the study assumes the City's MEU would have about 20,000 more customers than Duke Energy currently has. It remains unclear how the City would acquire these customers, which at the very least would require substantial time related to annexation and regulatory approvals. If the City is unsuccessful at annexing those areas, that would further reduce the purported benefits reflected in the study. ISSUE 3: NewGen's estimated start-up costs are inconsistent with their own example, and higher costs could increase taxpayer burden NewGen's study references the City of Boulder, which spent $29 million of taxpayer money to engage in a similar effort from 2010 through 2020. Despite this, NewGen proposes the Clearwater MEU start-up cost would be $11 million (including reserves), shown in Table 4-1. Higher acquisition and startup costs could eliminate any savings and increase the burden on taxpayers. ISSUE 4: NewGen used obsolete Duke Energy rate data and assumptions in its rate analysis, virtually eliminating speculated savings Duke Energy's 2026 rates on file with the Public Service Commission are not the rates used by NewGen to develop its purported $17.70 per 1,000 kWh residential customer savings in 2026. This error means NewGen's assumed Duke Energy rate is about 9% higher than Duke Energy's bill for those customers. If Duke Energy's 2026 rates were used, any speculated Clearwater MEU customer savings are essentially eliminated. In addition to the difference in 2026 rate assumptions, as to projected future rates, there is a significant error in assumed rate growth in the NewGen study. The effective future rates in the NewGen study (see NewGen presentation slide 23) have the hypothetical Duke Energy rates growing faster than the equivalent rates for Clearwater MEU. That doesn't make sense, 3 DU4 ENERKE GY FLORIDA Melissa Seixas State President - Florida Duke Energy Florida 299 First Avenue North St. Petersburg, FL 33701 Melissa.Seixas c©duke-energy.com especially if Clearwater purchases both power and transmission service from Duke Energy. If the Duke Energy effective rates were to escalate at the same rate as Clearwater MEU's, there is little difference between Duke Energy and Clearwater projected future rates. SOLUTIONS: NewGen highlights some potential "off ramps," including working with Duke Energy on undergrounding as well vegetation management, distribution system reliability and service metrics, and customer programs regarding affordability and economic development. All these items can be successfully addressed through franchise agreement negotiations. In fact, Duke Energy is already undergrounding one of the areas shown in the study on Myrtle Avenue between Court and Cleveland and is currently undergrounding lines in seven other areas in the City. Vegetation management was completed in the City earlier this year with enhanced notification procedures that successfully ensured our customers and the City are well informed about vegetation management activities in Clearwater and why. We welcome meaningful discussions on these topics prior to the agreement's expiration in December and are open to considering a shorter franchise agreement term, such as a ten-year renewal. We remain committed to working together, as we have for decades, to ensure our efforts are unified and focused on the best interests of Clearwater citizens.
