                                               - 205 -                                                  
                                             Appendix A                                                 
                               Equipment Installed at Substations                                       

                  The first column of the table shows the name by which FPL                             
            refers to the substations.  The second column, “plot plan,”                                 
            depicts the year the first plot plan was created and the number                             
            of transformers shown on that plot plan.  Generally, FPL                                    
            initially installed fewer transformers on a substation than were                            
            depicted on the plot plan.134  The third column provides the ER                             
            for which FPL seeks an ITC.  That column is further broken down                             
            into four subcolumns:  (1) The ER number; (2) the date                                      
            approved;135 (3) the amount authorized; and (4) how the money was                           
            expended.136                                                                                

                  134 For example, Mr. Veronee explained:                                               
                  Again, on the plot plan we lay the [Alva] substation out for                          
                  an ultimate two transformer station.  Our distribution                                
                  planning group said, you know, that we needed to buy this                             
                  piece of property and the ultimate development of this                                
                  substation.                                                                           
            Mr. Veronee explained that FPL always planned, designed, and                                
            intended the Alva substation to have a second transformer, but                              
            “It just took those seven or eight years for the load to grow in                            
            the area for reliability to require us to add that second                                   
            transformer.”  His testimony was generally consistent with the                              
            other substations shown on our table.                                                       
                  135 The ER’s contain numerous areas for signatures.                                   
            Typically, the ER was not signed by all of the individuals at the                           
            same time.  Accordingly, we have listed the year(s) during which                            
            the ER was signed.                                                                          
                  136 Generally, Mr. Veronee testified that equipment added                             
                                                                          (continued...)
