Exhibit ___ (EIOP-19)Page 81 of 684IV B. Damage/FailureThe Damage/Failure investment level for the distribution system is primarily based onhistorical actual costs for such work. Where condition renders the asset unable toperform its intended electrical or mechanical function on the delivery system, theCompany initiates the timely replacement of such asset under the Damage/Failurespending rationale. Comparison of the distribution Damage/Failure investment levelsfrom the 2011 Plan and the 2012 Plan are set forth in Table IV-5 below.2011 to 2012 Variance:Spending in the damage failure category is forecasted higher than in last year’s planbased on a combination of work associated with addressing damage that occurredduring recent substation flooding and the current rate of spending in this reactionarycategory. Work initiated in response to last year’s flooding events is forecasted in FY13through FY15.Table IV-4Damage/FailureVariance Summary ($millions)CIP FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 Total2011 22.0 23.0 23.8 24.8 25.3 - 118.92012 - 25.9 26.1 26.4 26.7 27.5 132.6Aside from blanket and program related projects, there is one specific project identifiedunder this spending rationale that exceeds $1 million in any fiscal year:• Project Candidate, New Florida Station (and Related Line Work). This projectprovides for the installation of a new 69-13.2kV station and feeder extensions toreplace Amsterdam Station which was heavily damaged during flooding inAugust and September 2011.IV-5 582
Exhibit ___ (EIOP-19)Page 82 of 684IV C. System Capacity and PerformanceThe projected investment for distribution work in the system capacity and performancespending rationale over the Plan period is shown in Table IV-6 below. The majority ofthe investment in FY13 and FY14 is for specific projects while later year investmentlevels are based on historical spending levels.2011 to 2012 Variance:The forecasted investment levels represent the cash flow of specific projects in the earlyyears of the plan and an expectation that capacity increases of similar magnitude will berequired throughout the plan based on forecasted load growth.Table IV-5System Capacity and PerformanceVariance Summary ($millions)CIP FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 Total2011 43.5 50.7 54.9 54.5 54.9 - 258.42012 - 43.1 52.1 53.4 55.3 56.2 260.1Aside from blanket and program related projects, the following specific projects areproposed under this spending rationale and exceed $1 million in any fiscal year:• Project C36188, East Malloy Substation Second Transformer Addition. Thisproject provides for the resolution of MWHr Violations for contingency loss of theexisting substation transformer.• Project C33636, Buffalo Albany Flying Grounds Switch Replacement.

This project installsapproximately 9,700 feet of secondary cable, installs manhole ring busses andcable limiters.• Project CD0187, Spier-Rotterdam Project Distribution Relocations. This projectrelocates various distribution feeders to allow the construction of a new 115 kVline from Spier to Rotterdam due to load increases in the Northeast area.• Project Candidate, East Malloy Low Side Substation Equipment. This projectprovides for the 15kV station equipment associated with project C36188.• Project Candidate, Fly Road Low Side Feeder Getaways. This project providesfor the distribution line work associated with the expansion of Fly Road (PPM13999, 09252).IV-6 683
