                                               - 201 -                                                  
            substation operated for at least 8 years before petitioner added                            
            the equipment for which it claims an ITC.  Because petitioner                               
            operated these substations for several years before the addition                            
            of the items at issue, we conclude that the transformers, not the                           
            entire substations, constitute the plant facilities for purposes                            
            of TRA section 203(b)(1)(C).                                                                
                  Because we find that the equipment at issue, not the entire                           
            substation, constitutes the plant facilities, petitioner had to                             
            commence construction of these items by December 31, 1985.  Sec.                            
            49(e); TRA section 203(b)(1)(C).  The record reveals that                                   
            construction of the items at issue did not begin by December 31,                            
            1985.  Mr. Veronee testified that FPL’s procedure generally                                 
            requires that both a budget item and an expenditure requisition                             
            receive approval before construction begins.  For the items at                              
            issue, all of the expenditure requisitions received approval                                
            after the year 1985.  See appendix A (listing the expenditure
