New York Transmission Company - Energy Highway

Immediately Actionable Projects
Immediately Actionable Projects provide a broad range of benefits and are distinguished from the
Actionable Projects for several reasons: (1) they have had more detailed engineering evaluations
completed, (2) they are needed in order to achieve many of the benefits associated with the
Actionable Projects; (3) they have the ability to mitigate reliability needs that may occur as a result of
the retirement of downstate generators including Indian Point; and (4) they can proceed forward
rather quickly because, in certain cases, they have either received or initiated NYISO and/or New York
Public Service Commission (PSC) approval. The estimated total investment for these projects is $ 385
million. The projects included in this category are:
1. 3 rd Leeds - Pleasant Valley 345kV Line
2. Marcy South Series Compensation and Fraser - Coopers Corners Reconductoring
3. 2 nd Rock Tavern to Ramapo 345kV Line
Actionable Projects
Actionable Projects also provide a broad range of benefits, however, these projects have not
advanced as far as the Immediately Actionable Projects in terms of detailed engineering evaluations
and regulatory approval. In addition, this set of projects leverage the Immediately Actionable Projects
to fully realize their benefits. The estimated total investment for these projects is $ 1.72 billion. 8 The
projects included in this category are:
1. Marcy – New Scotland 345 kV Line
2. 3 rd New Scotland – Leeds 345 kV Line
3. Oakdale – Fraser 345 kV Line Upgrade
4. Moses – Marcy 230 kV to 345 kV Upgrade
Projects to Address Potential Indian Point/Downstate Generation Retirement
This group of actionable projects is primarily beneficial in addressing reliability concerns stemming
from the retirement of downstate generation, including the potential retirement of the Indian Point
generation facilities. The start time of these projects would be advanced so that they would be ready
as the needs materialize. The estimated total investment for these projects is $ 370 million. The
projects included in this category are:
1. Transmission to Un-bottle Staten Island Generation
2. East Garden City - Newbridge 345 kV Upgrade
8 Of this estimated amount, $714 million represents the level of currently anticipated investment that will be made by the NY
Transco. The remaining $1.0 billion investment represents the replacement of certain existing transmission assets within the
proposed projects by the host NYTO.
