WPLG Local 10 · last updated

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A state-level regulatory agency that oversees public utilities is considering a Florida Power & Light’s proposal for a new project in South Florida.

The five-member Florida Public Service Commission met on Thursday for a hearing about the Andytown-Oasis project to place four 30-mile-long transmission lines from Broward County to Miami-Dade County. FPL aims to complete the projects in 2033

Despite the complexity of the project, Gov. Ron DeSantis’s appointees, Gabriella Passidomo Smith, Mike La Rosa, Gary F. Clark, Ana Ortega, and Bobby Payne did not have any questions during the meeting in Tallahassee.

One of the four transmission lines would start at FPL’s existing Andytown substation in Broward and end at FPL’s planned Oasis substation in Miami-Dade, according to the Florida PSC.

In Miami-Dade, a second line would start at FPL’s Quarry substation and end at the Oasis substation, and two other lines would start at Oasis, but one would end at Quarry and the other at the Levee substation.
