Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 28, 2006, Florida Public Utilities Company (the “Company”) entered into an exclusive agreement with Gulf Power Company for the purchase of electric power supply for the Company’s Northwest division.  This ten-year agreement provides for electric power supply for the Northwest division beginning January 1, 2008, and is subject to approval of the Florida Public Service Commission to allow the Company to recover from its customers the payments required to be made to Gulf Power under the agreement.  Fuel prices will increase over existing electric power supply costs, and are expected to be closer to market prices in the State of Florida.      

The Company intends to file the agreement as an exhibit to its Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2006.  The Company intends to request confidential treatment for certain portions of this agreement.
