Notes
In what appears to be a major victory for anti-nuclear efforts in Florida, the state's Public Utility Commission (PUC) has rejected Florida Power and Light's (FPL) request for a major electricity rate increase, which would have largely gone to pay for two new Toshiba-Westinghouse AP-1000 reactors at its Turkey Point nuclear power plant near Miami. FPL responded by halting its plans to pursue the two new reactors past the U.S. The proposed and defeated reactors were for 577 MW and 1154 MW. Proposed in 2006 and defeated around 2010.
