As part of the new nuclear project, FPL proposes making transmission improvements.
FPL has proposed corridors for new transmission lines in the eastern and western parts of Miami-Dade County. Their location was chosen based on input from our customers, agencies, and local governments while also balancing land use, environmental, safety, cost, and engineering issues. As part of our efforts to work with the community, FPL invited other parties to propose alternate corridors.

As a regulated utility, FPL is required by the Florida Public Service Commission to provide safe, reliable, low-cost electric service to its customers. Since specific underground projects benefit only those in close proximity to the underground project, it is not viewed as appropriate to have all customers pay for undergrounding a project that only provides benefits to some customers.
