(Power)-Despite PSC setback, FPL still pushing for power line permits

Despite a recent setback with the Public Service Commission, FPL is still seeking the required approvals for a controversial set of nuclear reactors and transmission lines.

Will Florida Power & Light build four proposed high voltage transmission lines in Miami-Dade County now that state regulators denied the company's request to raise the rates its customers pay by $1.3 billion?

The answer is not clear

On one hand, the utility is moving ahead to secure permits and licenses for the power lines -- a key part of FPL's plan to build two more nuclear reactors at its Turkey Point site east of Homestead.
