the Trace substation. The BI stated that “Extensive development
is presently occurring in the Southwest Broward County area”.
Apparently, FPL anticipated that one development project in this
area would have an ultimate peak demand of 270 MVA. New
substations were anticipated to be built, and FPL proposed to
construct a fourth Andytown-Lauderdale plant 230-kV line to serve
the new substations.85
ER No. 1333, which referenced BI No. 246 and was approved in
late 1986, authorized the expenditure of $2,502,710 to construct
approximately 9.5 miles of single pole concrete 230-kV
transmission line from the Andytown substation to the Trace
substation. ER No. 1645, which referenced BI No. 246 and was
processed in late 1986/early 1987, authorized the expenditure of
$962,036 to install equipment at the Andytown substation. ER No.
1676, which references BI No. 246, authorized the expenditure of
$152,090 to install equipment at the Andytown substation.
A 1986 BI No. 253, approved in late 1985, budgeted $1.1
million to construct approximately 3.5 miles of single circuit,
single pole concrete 230-kV line to serve the Trace substation.
The BI states that the project was initially authorized in 1984,
and that the project was completed in May 1985. The reason for
the BI was “to construct Trace Substation by the summer of 1985
85 Mr. Sanders testified that “This line was constructed to
serve the load growth in western Broward County.”
