                  The interchange contract specifically required FPL to                                 
            construct a 230-kV transmission line from its Duval substation                              
            near Baldwin, Florida, to a point on the Florida-Georgia State                              
            line.74  FPL completed the 230-kV transmission line required by                             
            the interchange contract between November 1979 and January 1980.                            
            In addition, the contract required FPL to provide communications,                           
            telemetering, and automatic generation control equipment,                                   
            together with such other facilities as may be required for load                             
            dispatching purposes and for control of power flow and reactive                             
            plan.  FPL claims ITCs for the acquisition and construction of                              
            equipment associated with the Southern company supply contract in                           
            the 1988, 1989, and 1990 taxable years.                                                     
                  Subsequent to establishing the interconnection with the                               
            Southern companies under the interchange contract, FPL was                                  
            interested in buying more power from the Southern companies.                                
            Effective February 19, 1981, the Southern companies and FPL                                 
            entered into a unit power sales agreement (power agreement) under                           
            which the Southern companies sold power to FPL.  The power                                  
            agreement continued until May 31, 1995, “or such extended period                            
            agreed to by the parties under the provisions” of the contract.                             
            Also, on February 19, 1981, the Southern companies and FPL                                  
            entered into amendment No. 1 to the interchange contract.                                   

                  74 The Southern companies were required to construct a 230-                           
            kV transmission line on their side of the Florida-Georgia State                             
            line to deliver the power.
