Turkey Point Nuclear Facilities Site Expansion
Background Florida Power and Light (FPL) submitted a Site Certification Application to Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) on June 30, 2009. If approved, the application would allow FPL to expand nuclear energy production at its Turkey Point facility in Miami-Dade County. The proposed project consists of the construction of two new nuclear units, 6 and 7, and supporting facilities, as well as the placement of new transmission lines. The new units are expected to add approximately, 2,200 megawatts (mW) of electrical generation.
