Communications

From: Daniel Tait


To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

All electronic records of Mr. Cochran Keating containing any of the following keywords:

- Florida Power & Light
- Florida Power and Light
- FP&L
- FPL
- NextEra
- Duke
- @duke-energy.com
- @nexteraenergy.com
- @nexteraenergyresources.com

The request should include emails (both sent and received), email attachments, text messages, encrypted messages, messaging apps (such as Slack, Trello or Asana), and any other electronic records.

The timeframe of this public records request is between January 1, 2018 and the date of this filing.

You may exclude news articles, press clippings, and duplicate emails.

The organization I work for, the Energy and Policy Institute (EPI), is a clearinghouse of information and can qualify as a representative of the news media. There are several examples of public record requests provided to EPI that were published on our website to inform journalists publishing articles. Additionally, federal agencies have previously categorized FOIAs from the Energy and Policy Institute under Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1004.9(b)(3) as a "news media" requester and have determined that we satisfy the criteria considered for a waiver of fees.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Daniel Tait

Dear Mr. Tait:

In response to the request below, attached are five PDF documents that contain copies of records that meet the criteria of your request. No other responsive records were located during our search. The one redaction, which is located in the PDF entitled "IT Emails - Keyword is FPL," is of personal medical information.
