Governor Charlie Crist, Attorney General Bill McCollum and Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, serving as the Siting Board, unanimously approved Progress Energy Florida’s site request for construction of a nuclear facility on a 3105-acre location in Levy County. The facility will consist of two 1100MW nuclear powered units. The Siting Board’s approval of the Levy nuclear plant includes a requirement for the Crystal River 1 and 2 coal-fired units to be discontinued by 31 December 2020, assuming timely licensing and construction.
