The Power Plant Siting Act (PPSA), Sections 403.501-.518, Florida Statute (F.S.), is the state's centralized process for licensing large power plants. One license — a certification — replaces all local and state permits. Local governments and state agencies within whose jurisdiction the power plant is to be built participate in the process. Certification addresses permitting, land use and zoning, and property interests.

Under the Siting Acts, certification is the approval for building, operating and maintaining power plants, transmission lines and natural gas pipelines. Conditions of Certification are the licensing requirements for a specific facility.
