What changes to the current transmission system or other associated facilities may be needed to accommodate the increased generation at the Turkey Point and St. Lucie plant sites?
The total increase to the power grid will be approximately 400 megawatts, with about 200 megawatts in Miami-Dade County and 200 megawatts in St. Lucie County. With these additional megawatts, upgrades to the transmission system may be necessary. When the specifications associated with the modified major plant electrical equipment (rewound generator stator, new generator rotors and main transformers) become available, they will be used to perform a more detailed study to determine the upgrades that may be needed on the transmission system. The current estimated cost of $45 million for transmission modifications is preliminary and will be updated once the more detailed study to determine the extent of the upgrades to the transmission system is completed.
