Ms. Blanca Bayo, Director Division of the Commission Clerk and Administrative Services Florida Public Service Commission 2540 Shumard Oak Boulevard Tallahassee FL 32399-0850

Dear Ms. Bayo:

In accordance with Rule 25-6.078, Gulf Power Company is enclosing an original and fifteen copies of its 2004 Underground Differential Cost Report (Form PSCEAG 13) and the supporting work papers.

Also enclosed are an original and fifteen copies of the Company's tariff sheets listed below. A coded copy of each tariff sheet has been provided to show the changes to the existing tariff sheets.

Ms. Blanca Bayo March 31,2004 Page Two

The revised tariff sheets include the new cost differentials shown in the report. In addition to the changes related to pricing, the Company has deleted previously numbered Options 2 and 5 from the “Underground Distribution Facilities for New Residential Subdivisions” section. These infrequently used options allowed the Applicant to supply and install some of the material. In order to presewe the highest standards of workmanship and reduce the number of delays in service, these options are being eliminated. There remain three options for the Applicants.

The Company has expanded the cost per foot scenarios for three phase facilities required in the typical subdivision. These three phase facilities are most often used for lift stations. The new options are more representative of actual scenarios in today’s construction environment.

Additionally, the Company has eliminated the cost per foot for underground service from overhead facilities. Instead of the standard per foot price, individualized cost differential computations will be calculated. This will eliminate a customer being charged an average price and will more accurately reflect the cost causation.

In summary, the proposed offerings provide options to the Applicants while at the same time fairly reimburse the Company for the costs to provide these services. Please return a copy of the approved tariff sheets to my attention.

Sincerely, m

Iw

Failure to execute said agreement within 180 days after the delivery by Gulf Power Company of a binding cost estimate shall result in forfeiture of the deposit made. Any subsequent request for underground facilities will require the payment of a new deposit and the presentation of a new binding cost estimate. For good cause Gulf may extend the 180 day time limit. Upon execution of the Agreement For Underground Construction Standards, payment in full of the differential cost specified in the binding cost estimate, and compliance with the requirements of this tariff, Gulf shall proceed to install the facilities identified in a timety manner.

As a condition precedent to the conversion of any overhead distribution facilities, the Applicant shall have executed agreements with all affected pole licensees (e.g. telephone, cable TV, etc.) for the simultaneous conversion of those pole licensees’ facilities and provide Gulf with a copy of the Agreement(s). Such agreements shall specifically acknowledge that the affected pole licensee will coordinate the conversion with Gulf and other licensees in a timely manner so as to not create unnecessary delays. Failure to present to Gulf Power Company executed copies of any necessary agreements with affected pole licensees within 180 days after delivery of the binding cost agreement to the Applicant shall result in forfeiture of the deposit paid for the binding cost estimate, the return of any differential cost paid for the binding cost estimate, the return of any differential cost paid less any actuat cost incurred, and the termination of any Agreement For Underground Construction Standards entered into between the Applicant and Gulf Power Company.

CHANGES TO PLANS. The Applicant shall pay for all additional costs incurred by the Company due to changes made by the Applicant in the subdivision layout or grade after original agreed upon design has been completed by the Company.

UNDERGROUND INSTALLATIONS NOT COVERED. Where the Applicant requests underground electric facilities not specifically covered by these Rules and Regulations, or in areas where the terrain, loads, and/or equipment are not typical, and where overhead facilities would otherwise normally be provided, the Applicant and the Company may enter into an agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the installation prior to such installation.

TYPE OF SYSTEM PROVIDED. Underground residential distribution facilities are of standard Company design, generally with alt cable in duct or conduit and above-grade appurtenances. Unless otherwise stated, service provided will be 120/240 volt single phase. If other types of facilities are requested by the Applicant or required by governmental authority, the Applicant or governmental authority will pay the additional costs if any.

6.3.2 (continued)

(c) The Applicant is required to pay all additional costs required for a service lateral length in excess of the minimum which would have been needed to reach the Company’s designated point of delivery.

(d) The above charges are based upon arrangement of distribution facilities that will permit sewing the local single-phase underground distribution system within the subdivision from existing overhead feeder mains. If the feeder mains or other three-phase facilities within the subdivision are deemed necessary by the Company to provide and/or maintain adequate service and are required by the Applicant or governmental agency to be installed underground, the Applicant shall pay the Company the estimated cost differential between the underground feeder mains, or other three-phase facilities and the equivalent overhead facilities.

6.3.3

6.3.4

FAClLlTJES TO BE UNDERGROUND. All service laterals and secondary and single phase primary conductors shall be underground. Appurlenances such as transformers, pedestal-mounted terminals, switching equipment, and meter cabinets may be placed above ground. Feeder mains required within a subdivision may be overhead if the Applicant and the Company determine that the additional cost of underground is not justified for that particular location, unless otherwise required by governmental authority, in which case the differential cost will be borne by the Applicant or governmental authority.

POINT OF DELIVERY. The point of delivery to the building shall be determined by the Company and normally will be at the point of the building nearest the point at which the underground secondary system is available to the property to be served. If the point of delivery on any building is more than fifty (50) feet in length from the available secondary system (seventy [70] feet for low density subdivisions), then the Applicant may be required to make additional payment for the excess length.

LOCATION OF METER AND SOCKET & SERVICE ENTRANCE FACILITIES. The Applicant shall install a meter socket and suitable service entrance facilities at the point designated by the Company in accordance with the Company's specifications. Service conductors shall be installed, where possible, in a direct line to the point of delivery.

DEVELOPMENT OF SUBDIVISIONS. The above charges are based on reasonably full and timely use of the land being developed. Where the Company is required to construct underground electric facilities through a section or sections of the subdivision or development where, in the opinion of the Company, service will not be required for at least two years, the Company may require a deposit from the Applicant before construction is commenced. This deposit, to guarantee performance, will be based on the estimated total cost of such facilities rather than the differential cost. The amount of the deposit, without interest, in excess of any charges for underground service will be returned to the applicant on a pro-rata basis at quarterly intervals on the basis of installations to new customers. Any portion of such deposit remaining unrefunded, after five years from the date the Company is first ready to render service from the extension, will be retained by the Company.

6.4 UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION TO MULTIPLE-OCCUPANCY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

AVAILABILITY. After receipt of proper application and compliance by the Applicant with applicable Company rules and procedures, the Company will install underground distribution facilities within that tract of land upon which multiple-occupancy residential buildings containing five (5) or more separate dwelling units will be constructed.

CONTRIBUTION BY APPLICANT. Service for new multiple-occupancy residential buildings will be constructed underground within the property to be served to the point of delivery at or near the building by the Company at no charge to the Applicant, provided the Company is free to construct its service extension or extensions in the most economical manner and reasonably full use is made of the tract of land upon which the multiple-occupancy buildings will be constructed. The Applicant must pay a cost differential for any non-residential service such as a pool or office building.

METER SOCKETS AND SERVICE ENTRANCE FACILITIES. The Applicant shall install service entrance facilities including meter sockets or suitable facilities for installation of the Company's meters at a location suitable to the Company. Meter sockets of facilities for installation of the Company's meters shall be a type and manufacture approved by the Company.

6.3.2 (continued)

(c) The Applicant is required to pay all additional costs required for a service lateral length in excess of the minimum which would have been needed to reach the Company's designated point of delivery.

The above charges are based upon arrangement of distribution facilities that will permit serving the local single-phase underground distribution system within the subdivision from existing overhead feeder mains. If the feeder mains or other three-phase facilities within the subdivision are deemed necessary by the Company to provide and/or maintain adequate service and are required by the Applicant or governmental agency to be installed underground, the Applicant shall pay the Company the estimated cost differential between the underground feeder mains, or other three-phase facilities and the equivalent overhead facilities.

(d)

6.3.3 FACILITIES TO BE UNDERGROUND. All service laterals and secondary and single phase primary conductors shall be underground, Appurtenances such as transformers, pedestal-mounted terminals, switching equipment, and meter cabinets may be placed above ground. feeder mains required within a subdivision may be overhead if the Applicant and the Company determine that the additional cost of underground is not justified for that particular location, untess otherwise required by governmental authority, in which case the differential cost will be borne by the Applicant or governmental authority.

6.3.4 POINT OF DELIVERY. The point of delivery to the building shall be determined by the Company and normally will be at the point of the building nearest the point at which the underground secondary system is available to the property to be served. If t h e point of delivery on any building is more than fifty (50) feet in length from the available secondary system (seventv 1701- feet for low density subdivisions), then the Applicant may be required to make additional payment for the excess length.
