Working toward a cleaner future
A thriving Biscayne Bay
From birds and fish to American crocodiles, FPL’s Turkey Point Clean Energy Center’s biologists are passionate about protecting Florida’s plants and animals.
FPL Miami-Dade Clean Water Recovery Center
FPL is partnering with Miami-Dade County to develop a state-of-the-art, advanced reclaimed water treatment facility called the FPL Miami-Dade Clean Water Recovery Center (CWRC).
The facility will further treat and reuse up to 15 million gallons per day of reclaimed water from Miami-Dade County. FPL will use 100% of that reclaimed water to cool the natural gas plant at FPL’s Turkey Point Clean Energy Center.
A win-win for FPL customers, Miami-Dade County and the Sunshine State, the CWRC will:
- Increase resiliency at the Turkey Point Clean Energy Center, which helps provide power for all FPL customers
- Help Miami-Dade County meet the reuse requirements under Florida’s Ocean Outfall Legislation
- Provide a cost-effective way to reuse and recycle treated wastewater that would otherwise be discarded
- Conserve Floridan Aquifer groundwater at the Turkey Point site – a precious resource for all Floridians
