Item 5.  Other Events

On May 15, 2001, the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) approved the
recommendation of its staff which requires Florida Power & Light Company
(FPL) to submit minimum filing requirements by August 15, 2001 to initiate
a base rate proceeding regarding FPL's future rates.  Any change in base
rates would become effective after the expiration of the current rate
agreement on April 14, 2002.

The FPSC also deferred consideration of a motion filed by FPL and other
investor-owned utilities in Florida requesting that the FPSC open a
separate generic docket to address issues raised by the FPSC staff in their
recommendation discussed above related to the utilities' participation in
an independent regional transmission organization (RTO).  The utilities are
forming the RTO in response to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's
Order 2000.  However, without resolution of the FPSC staff's concerns, FPL
and the other participants will reevaluate the timing and development plans
for the RTO.
