ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the
bonds we are offering and certain other matters relating to us and our financial condition. The second part, the base
prospectus, provides more general information about the securities that we may offer from time to time, some of which may
not apply to the bonds we are offering hereby. Generally, when we refer to the prospectus, we are referring to both parts of
this document combined. If the description of the bonds varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.
You should rely only on the information contained in this document or to which this document refers you or that is
contained in any free writing prospectus relating to the bonds. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone
to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not
rely on it. We are not making an offer of the bonds in any jurisdiction where an offer or sale of them is not permitted. The
information in this document may only be accurate as of the date of this document. Our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.
Unless we have indicated otherwise, or the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus supplement to
"Florida Power," "Progress Energy Florida," "we," "us," and "our," or similar terms, are to Florida Power Corporation d/b/a
Progress Energy Florida, Inc. In this prospectus supplement, references to "2017 bonds" are to the 5.80% First Mortgage
Bonds due September 15, 2017, and references to "2037 bonds" are to the 6.35% First Mortgage Bonds due September 15,
2037. References in this prospectus supplement to "bonds" are to the 2017 bonds and the 2037 bonds, collectively.

SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have included in this document, and in the documents incorporated by reference into this document, "forward-looking
statements," as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have used the words or phrases such as
"anticipate," "will likely result," "will continue," "intend," "may," "expect," "believe," "plan," "will," "estimate," "should"
and variations of such words and similar expressions in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference to
identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve estimates, projections, goals,
objectives, forecasts, assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from
those expressed in such forward-looking statements. All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may
materially affect actual results, and may be beyond our control. Many, but not all of the factors that may impact actual results
are discussed under the heading "Safe Harbor For Forward-Looking Statements" in the accompanying prospectus and under
"Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is incorporated by
reference into this document, and under the "Risk Factors" section contained in this prospectus supplement. You should
carefully read these sections. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all
of such factors or to assess the effect of each such factor on our business.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made; and, except to fulfill our obligations under
the United States securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any such statement to reflect events or circumstances
after the date on which it is made.
