1 Generation Interconnection Facilities Study Report For PJM Generation Interconnection Request Queue Position R11 South River May 2012

2 Transmission Owner Facilities Study Summary Description of Project Gateway Energy Center, LLC, (developer) has proposed the addition of 440 MW of natural gas generation to be injected near the present South River 230 kv Substation. The 440 MW will be a capacity resource. The plant will interconnect with Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), a FirstEnergy Company; at a new three-breaker ring bus configured switching station. Additionally, a new six-breaker ring bus substation will be installed for the South River R11 project at a location where the 230 kv line is looped into the South River Generation complex. Based on the project scope defined in this study, the projected in-service date for this facility is June This study assumes that engineering and siting work begins on December 1, 2011 to meet the facility in-service date. A Project Kickoff meeting must occur by November 15, 2011 to begin engineering on the required date. Amendments to the System Impact Study data or System Impact Study Results None. Interconnection Customer s Submitted Milestone Schedule 6/1/2013 Project Commercial Operation Scope of Customer s Work The developer will construct facilities including the natural gas generation facility, the generator step-up (GSU) transformer, high side circuit breakers and the connection line to the new 230 kv three-breaker ring bus. The interconnection point will be located at the point where the customer-owned facilities connect to the FE-owned disconnect switch, as shown in the attached one-line diagram, shown in Attachment B. Fully rated fault interrupting circuit breakers owned by the developer are required on the high side of the GSU s, between the position on the ring bus and the generating station. The direct connection facilities include line terminal equipment on FirstEnergy s side of the point of interconnection. This typically includes a dead-end structure that is considered radial equipment from the terminal to the point of interconnection. The remainder of the ring bus switching-station is a network upgrade because of system through-flow. Description of Facilities Included in the Facilities Study The new South River Junction six breaker ring bus will interconnect the Red Oak, Raritan River, Parlin, Atlantic, and South River Substations. It is proposed that the R11 project be connected via a new 230 kv three breaker ring bus. It is to be constructed between the South River Substation and the South River Junction Substation. The loop for the R11 Substation is estimated to extend approximately 0.1 miles. The developer is responsible for constructing all of the facilities on its side of the point of interconnection, which will be located at the point where the customer-owned facilities connect to the FE-owned disconnect switch at the R11 Interconnection Substation, as shown in the attached one-line diagram, shown in Attachment B.

Metering & Communications Gateway Energy Center, LLC, shall install, own, operate, test and maintain the necessary revenue metering equipment. The FirstEnergy Revenue Metering Requirements may be found in the FirstEnergy Requirements for Transmission Connected Facilities document located at the following links: es.html. Gateway Energy Center, LLC shall also provide JCP&L with dial-up communication to the revenue meter. Assuming JCP&L is installing the Interconnection Substation, JCP&L will provide the telecommunication circuits for the SCADA RTU and the telephone in the JCP&L Interconnection Substation. Assuming JCP&L is installing the Interconnection Substation, JCP&L will also provide the telecommunication circuits for the SCADA RTU and the telephone in the JCP&L South River Junction Substation. Gateway Energy Center, LLC will be responsible for designing, furnishing and installing a SCADA RTU in their generation substation and obtaining the telecommunication circuits from the RTU to the JCP&L Data Center. These requirements are in addition to any metering required by PJM. Fiber Optic Communication Channels Fiber optic communication is required between the South River, the South River Junction, the Red Oak, the Raritan River, and the R11 Interconnection Substations to be used for line protection, direct transfer trip and other communication as detailed in Attachment A. Existing PJM Interconnection All rights reserved. 8 PJMDOCS-# v3

10 fiber optic cable will be utilized for this communication and extended to the two new substations. FirstEnergy will own and maintain the cable. Environmental, Real Estate and Permitting Issues The following are possible environmental, real estate and permitting issues: The JCP&L Substations will involve NJ BPU notification, local board approvals, and stormwater control plans with the NJ DEP and/or county conservation district. Included in these procedures is the applicable threatened and endangered species evaluation. These activities are the responsibility of the developer to the extent that they are providing the rough graded site to FE. The construction permit for work following the rough grading will be obtained by FE. Environmental, Real Estate and NJ BPU notification durations can vary, some up to 12 months and must be completed prior to the start of construction which can add to the critical path schedule. It is assumed there will be no significant social impacts, ecological impacts, property owner opposition, or elected official opposition to the project. If the developer owns the project property, in fee title, JCP&L will require a fee property transfer for the substation sites which may require subdivision approval, together with permanent access rights to and from the sub, as well as a permanent easement for the transmission line tap to the sub. The subdivision process is to be completed by and at the expense of the developer. If the developer leases the project property, then the developer will be required to obtain fee property from the underlying fee property owner, on behalf of JCP&L, for the substation sites, together with permanent access rights to and from the sub, as well as a permanent easement for the transmission line tap to the sub. All property rights must be surveyed and metes and bounds descriptions prepared for incorporation into JCP&L s document forms, for transfer of title. The line work siting estimate is a preliminary conceptual estimate. On the ground evaluations of the routes as well as a detailed review of local zoning issues is required for a more definitive estimate. It is assumed that all existing right-of-way are valid and that there is no need for any new right-of-ways. The underlying assumptions for the line siting estimate is that no appeal filings of local zoning issues to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities will be required for any aspect of the project. Wetland issues and erosion and sedimentation control issues are not included in this estimate. PJM Interconnection All rights reserved. 9 PJMDOCS-# v3

11 It is assumed that the developer will provide the rough graded sites/property and access roads to a public road, for the South River Junction Substation as well as the R11 Interconnection Substation. 7.

13 Assumptions/Qualifiers The accomplishment of the work on the FE system to support the estimated costs and proposed schedule is dependent on the following: Obtaining the necessary transmission line outages. Transmission line outages are typically not granted from June to September. No equipment delivery, environmental or regulatory delays. The FE/JCP&L schedule provides for 8 months of permitting activity. The completion date could be affected if the permitting would extend any longer. No permitting or real estate delays. If the project is contested or rejected at the local level, significant legal and siting costs may be required to appeal to the BPU - possibly exceeding $1,000, which is not included in the cost estimates in this report. No extreme weather. No force majeure. The three breaker ring bus and six breaker ring bus estimates are based upon typical estimates because detailed site and interconnection information was not received from the developer. In the event, Gateway Energy Center, LLC selects the Option To Build, they must utilize an approved FE A/E & Construction Contractor. FE will then act in an oversight capacity reviewing all design information & site construction (estimated cost for engineering support to be provided by FE).
