Regulatory </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Tampa Electric's and PGS's retail businesses are regulated by the FPSC. Tampa Electric also is subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 (PUHCA 2005). However, pursuant to a waiver granted in accordance with the FERC's regulations, TECO Energy is not subject to certain accounting, record-keeping and reporting requirements prescribed by the FERC's regulations under PUHCA 2005. The operations of PGS are regulated by the FPSC separately from the regulation of Tampa Electric. The FPSC has jurisdiction over rates, service, issuance of securities, safety, accounting and depreciation practices and other matters. In general, the FPSC sets rates at a level that allows utilities such as Tampa Electric and PGS to collect total revenues (revenue requirements) equal to their cost of providing service, plus a reasonable return on invested capital. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>Stipulation with Intervenors – Tampa Electric </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">As previously reported in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended Dec. 31, 2009, the FPSC, in connection with Tampa Electric's 2008 base rate request, approved a $25.7 million increase in base rates effective Jan. 1, 2010 (step increase), subject to refund, for certain capital additions placed in service in 2009. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In connection with the base rate request, the FPSC had rejected the intervenors' arguments that the approved 2010 increase violated the intervenors' due process rights, Florida Statutes or FPSC rules. The intervenors filed an appeal with the Florida Supreme Court in September 2009, which Tampa Electric opposed. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In July 2010, Tampa Electric entered into a stipulation with the intervenors to resolve all issues related to the 2008 base rate case including the 2010 step increase, as well as the intervenors' appeal to the Florida Supreme Court. Under the terms of the stipulation, the $25.7 million step increase would remain in effect for 2010, and Tampa Electric would make a one-time reduction of $24.0 million to customers' bills in 2010. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In August 2010, the FPSC voted to approve the July stipulation, which was contained in their Docket No. 090368-EI "Review of the continuing need and cost associated with Tampa Electric Company's 5 Combustion Turbines and Big Bend Rail Facility". This stipulation now resolves all issues in the above docket and all issues in the intervenors' appeal of the FPSC's 2009 decision in Tampa Electric's base rate proceeding pending before the Florida Supreme Court. The docket related to the base rate proceeding is now closed. The one-time reduction of $24.0 million to customers' bills in 2010 is reflected in the third quarter operating results as a reduction in revenue. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Effective Jan. 1, 2011, and for subsequent years, rates of $24.4 million (a $1.3 million reduction from the $25.7 million in effect for 2010) related to the step increase will be in effect. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>Wholesale and Transmission Rate Cases </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In July 2010, Tampa Electric filed wholesale requirements and transmission rate cases with the FERC. Tampa Electric's last wholesale requirements rate case was in 1991 and the associated service agreements were approved by the FERC in the mid-1990s. The FERC approved Tampa Electric's proposed transmission rates as filed with the FERC, which became effective Sep. 14, 2010, subject to refund. The FERC also approved Tampa Electric's proposed wholesale requirements rates, as filed with the FERC, to become effective Mar. 1, 2011, subject to refund. The proposed wholesale requirements and transmission rates are not expected to have a material impact on Tampa Electric's results. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>Storm Damage Cost Recovery </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Tampa Electric accrues $8.0 million annually effective May 2009 to a FERC-authorized and FPSC-approved self-insured storm damage reserve. This reserve was created after Florida's investor owned utilities (IOUs) were unable to obtain transmission and distribution insurance coverage due to destructive acts of nature. Tampa Electric's storm reserve was $35.4 million and $29.3 million as of Sep. 30, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2009, respectively. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>Regulatory Assets and Liabilities </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Tampa Electric and PGS maintain their accounts in accordance with recognized policies of the FPSC. In addition, Tampa Electric maintains its accounts in accordance with recognized policies prescribed or permitted by the FERC. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Tampa Electric and PGS apply the accounting standards for regulated operations. Areas of applicability include: deferral of revenues under approved regulatory agreements; revenue recognition resulting from cost recovery clauses that provide for monthly billing charges to reflect increases or decreases in fuel, purchased power, conservation and environmental costs; and the deferral of costs as regulatory assets to the period that the regulatory agency recognizes them when cost recovery is ordered over a period longer than a fiscal year. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Details of the regulatory assets and liabilities as of Sep. 30, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2009 are presented in the following table: </font></p>

Regulatory </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Tampa Electric's and PGS's retail businesses are regulated by the FPSC. Tampa Electric also is subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 (PUHCA 2005). However, pursuant to a waiver granted in accordance with the FERC's regulations, Tampa Electric is not subject to certain accounting, record-keeping and reporting requirements prescribed by the FERC's regulations under PUHCA 2005. The operations of PGS are regulated by the FPSC separately from the regulation of Tampa Electric. The FPSC has jurisdiction over rates, service, issuance of securities, safety, accounting and depreciation practices and other matters. In general, the FPSC sets rates at a level that allows utilities such as Tampa Electric and PGS to collect total revenues (revenue requirements) equal to their cost of providing service, plus a reasonable return on invested capital. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>Stipulation with Intervenors – Tampa Electric </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">As previously reported in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended Dec. 31, 2009, the FPSC, in connection with Tampa Electric's 2008 base rate request, approved a $25.7 million increase in base rates effective Jan. 1, 2010 (step increase), subject to refund, for certain capital additions placed in service in 2009. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In connection with the base rate request, the FPSC had rejected the intervenors' arguments that the approved 2010 increase violated the intervenors' due process rights, Florida Statutes or FPSC rules. The intervenors filed an appeal with the Florida Supreme Court in September 2009, which Tampa Electric opposed. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In July 2010, Tampa Electric entered into a stipulation with the intervenors to resolve all issues related to the 2008 base rate case including the 2010 step increase, as well as the intervenors' appeal to the Florida Supreme Court. Under the terms of the stipulation, the $25.7 million step increase would remain in effect for 2010, and Tampa Electric would make a one-time reduction of $24.0 million to customers' bills in 2010. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In August 2010, the FPSC voted to approve the July stipulation, which was contained in their Docket No. 090368-EI "Review of the continuing need and cost associated with Tampa Electric Company's 5 Combustion Turbines and Big Bend Rail Facility". This stipulation now resolves all issues in the above docket and all issues in the intervenors' appeal of the FPSC's 2009 decision in Tampa Electric's base rate proceeding pending before the Florida Supreme Court. The docket related to the base rate proceeding is now closed. The one-time reduction of $24.0 million to customers' bills in 2010 is reflected in the third quarter operating results as a reduction in revenue. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Effective Jan. 1, 2011, and for subsequent years, rates of $24.4 million (a $1.3 million reduction from the $25.7 million in effect for 2010) related to the step increase will be in effect. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>Wholesale and Transmission Rate Cases </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In July 2010, Tampa Electric filed wholesale requirements and transmission rate cases with the FERC. Tampa Electric's last wholesale requirements rate case was in 1991 and the associated service agreements were approved by the FERC in the mid-1990s. The FERC approved Tampa Electric's proposed transmission rates as filed with the FERC, which became effective Sep. 14, 2010, subject to refund. The FERC also approved Tampa Electric's proposed wholesale requirements rates, as filed with the FERC, to become effective Mar. 1, 2011, subject to refund. The proposed wholesale requirements and transmission rates are not expected to have a material impact on Tampa Electric's results. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"><b>Storm Damage Cost Recovery </b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Tampa Electric accrues $8.0 million annually effective May 2009 to a FERC-authorized and FPSC-approved self-insured storm damage reserve. This reserve was created after Florida's investor owned utilities (IOUs) were unable to obtain transmission and distribution insurance coverage due to destructive acts of nature. Tampa Electric's storm reserve was $35.4 million and $29.3 million as of Sep. 30, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2009, respectively. </font></p>

In addition, Tampa Electric maintains its accounts in accordance with recognized policies prescribed or permitted by the FERC. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Tampa Electric and PGS apply the accounting standards for regulated operations. Areas of applicability include: deferral of revenues under approved regulatory agreements; revenue recognition resulting from cost recovery clauses that provide for monthly billing charges to reflect increases or decreases in fuel, purchased power, conservation and environmental costs; and the deferral of costs as regulatory assets to the period that the regulatory agency recognizes them when cost recovery is ordered over a period longer than a fiscal year. </font></p>
