GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE HEARING: The purpose of this hearing will be for the Commission to take final action to determine the need, pursuant to Section 403.519, Florida Statutes (F.S.), for FPL’s proposed Okeechobee Clean Energy Center Unit 1. FPL proposes to construct a natural gas, combined cycle power plant, with an expected summer peak rating of about 1,622 megawatts (MW), at a greenfield site in northeast Okeechobee County owned by FPL. According to FPL’s petition, the Okeechobee Clean Energy Center Unit 1 will enable FPL to meet a projected need for additional generation resources that begins in 2019, continues into 2020, and increases each year thereafter. The Commission may rule on any such motions from the bench or may take the matters under advisement. This proceeding shall: (1) allow FPL to present evidence and testimony in support of its petition; (2) permit intervenors to present testimony and exhibits concerning FPL’s petition; (3) permit members of the public, who are not parties to this need determination proceeding, the opportunity to present testimony concerning this matter; and (4) allow for such other purposes as the Commission may deem appropriate. All witnesses shall be subject to cross-examination at the conclusion of their testimony on the issues identified by the parties at the prehearing conference held on November 17, 2015.
