Delivering reliable energy for today and tomorrow.

FPL is committed to delivering reliable service to our customers and properly planning for anticipated growth throughout the state. To do so, the company continues to invest in our energy grid. FPL is proposing to construct four new transmission lines extending approximately 30-miles from Broward to Miami-Dade County. The proposed transmission lines would improve system reliability for our customers and support growth in the area. Over the next eight years, from 2026 to 2033, we anticipate an increase of approximately 220,000 new customers and/or approximately 11% increase in load in the Miami-Dade Area.


Quick Facts

The Andytown-Oasis project includes four transmission lines:

  • One 500kV transmission line from FPL’s existing Andytown substation to the planned Oasis substation.
  • One 500kV transmission line from FPL’s existing Quarry substation to the planned Oasis substation.
  • One 230kV transmission line from FPL’s planned Oasis substation to the existing Levee substation.
  • One 230kV transmission line from FPL’s planned Oasis substation to the existing Quarry substation.
  • FPL evaluated various potential routes for the new transmission line corridor, some of which include existing rights-of-ways, and identified a preliminary preferred corridor.
  • FPL is committed to keeping the community informed throughout the process and we will provide additional information as the project progresses.
  • FPL will be filing an application under the Florida’s Electric Transmission Line Siting Act.
  • FPL will work safely and respectfully and abide by applicable environmental and governmental regulations.
  • FPL plans to complete the projects in 2033.

Project Timeline

  • Early 2026: Public Engagement and Input
  • 2026-2028: Design and Permitting
  • Early 2029: Start Construction
  • Late 2033: Project Completion

Construction Process

  • Construction consists of right-of-way clearing, access road construction (where necessary), line construction and restoration
  • Structures are generally delivered using semi-trucks and trailers
  • Vegetation management is conducted according to approved standards
  • Equipment used for construction typically includes trucks, trailers, cranes, auger diggers and other support vehicles

Permitting

  • FPL will abide by applicable regulations  
  • After review of various factors and constraints, FPL identified multiple routes and a preliminary preferred corridor for the proposed transmission lines
  • The project will be licensed through the Transmission Line Siting Act (TSLA) administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection:

○  Streamlines all State and local agency permitting approvals into a single process

○  Allows for feedback from agencies and the public on the Preferred Corridor

○  Application expected to be filed in April 2026

  •  Additional federal permits will be obtained after the route is selected

Environmental and Cultural Resources

  • The following resources are being analyzed:

○  Vegetation

○  Wildlife

○  Aquatic Life

○  Scenic, Cultural, and Natural Landmarks

○  Archaeological and Historic Sites
