III. Project Descriptions<br />
The NYTOs are pleased to propose 18 transmission projects which will reduce the constraints on the<br />
electric transmission system, expand the diversity of the power generation sources, assure the long-term<br />
reliability of the electric system, and encourage the development of renewable generation resources.<br />
These Projects will result in an estimated total investment of $2.9 billion in the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> transmission<br />
system, of which $1.9 billion will be financed through the NY Transco and $1 billion will be financed by the<br />
host transmission owner. 5<br />
The Projects have been evaluated in terms of how well and how quickly they can address each of the RFI’s<br />
objectives. 6 The geographical locations of the Projects are illustrated on a map in Appendix B and detailed<br />
project descriptions are provided in Appendix C.<br />
The Projects have been categorized into four distinct groupings 7 as follows:<br />
• Immediately Actionable Projects<br />
• Actionable Projects<br />
• Projects to Address Potential Indian Point/Downstate Generation Retirements<br />
• Projects to Enable Wind Generation<br />
5 The $1.9 billion investment represents the level of currently anticipated investment that will be made by the NY Transco. The<br />
remaining $1.0 billion represents the estimated total cost for the replacement of certain existing transmission assets within the<br />
proposed projects by the host NYTO.<br />
6 Project justifications can be found in Section IV of this response.<br />
7 To accrue all of the benefits outlined in this proposal all 18 of the projects would need to be implemented. However, depending<br />
on the specific objectives being pursued, projects may be drawn from one or more of these groupings.<br />
