Three public meetings were held in August 2010. The EIS, anticipated to be completed in fall 2011, will compare the three alternative routes that had been originally considered to determine the alternative that would minimize impacts to the natural and human resources within the parks and surrounding areas. NPS is also developing other alternatives that may include relocation of the project partially outside of park boundaries, installation of portions of the entire upgraded line underground, installation of the line on the bottom of the Delaware River, an alternative that uses direct current, or a denial of the request for permits. The Commission’s approval of construction of a portion of the line is contingent upon the receipt of the necessary NPS permit, and construction of the project must commence within three years of the entry date of the Opinion and Order (Feb. 12, 2010). On March 1, 2010, the Office of Consumer Advocate (OCA) filed a Petition for Reconsideration or Clarification, which was granted on March 11, 2010, pending further review and consideration on the merits. On April 22, 2010, the Commission denied OCA’s petition, thus reaffirming its previous approval of the application. Transmission owners, PPL and PSEG, responsible for construction of the Susquehanna-Roseland line, have indicated that the line will not be in service until June 1, 2014, or later, primarily due to delays in obtaining the NPS permit. PJM has developed an operational solution to address the criteria violations that would otherwise be expected to occur in 2012 without the line. Electric Power Outlook for Pennsylvania 2010-15 13
Electric Distribution Companies Eleven electric distribution companies (EDCs) currently serve the electrical energy needs of the majority of Pennsylvania's homes, businesses and industries. Cooperatives and municipal systems provide service to several rural and urban areas. The 11 jurisdictional EDCs (eight systems) are: 1. Citizens' Electric Company 2. Duquesne Light Company 3. Metropolitan Edison Company (FirstEnergy) 4. Pennsylvania Electric Company (FirstEnergy) 5. Pennsylvania Power Company (FirstEnergy) 6. PPL Electric Utilities Corporation 7. PECO Energy Company (Exelon) 8. Pike County Light & Power Company (Orange & Rockland Utilities Inc.) 9. UGI Utilities Inc. – Electric Division 10. Wellsboro Electric Company 11. West Penn Power Company (FirstEnergy) Figure 8 Map of EDC service territories It is the responsibility of each load-serving entity to make provisions for adequate generating resources to serve its customers. The local EDC or Commission-approved alternate supplier must acquire electric energy, pursuant to a Commission-approved competitive procurement process, for customers who contract for power which is not delivered, or for customers who do not choose an alternate supplier. The acquired electric power must include a prudent mix of spot market purchases, short-term contracts and long-term purchase contracts, designed to ensure adequate and 14 Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
