2006 Status Report NYC ENERGY POLICY TASK FORCE 2006 STATUS REPORT # Recommendation Category Update 2006 Status In April 2005, Con Edison began commercial operation of its state-of-the-art natural gas fired steam-electric generators at its East River Repowering Project (ERRP). The facility is capable of producing 3 million pounds of steam per hour and has an electric capacity of 288 MW. Its output allowed Con Edison to retire its Waterside Complete plant south of the United Nations building. The former site of the Waterside plant is now part of a major mixed use redevelopment project. On December 31, 2005, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) commenced commercial operation of the 500 MW New Poletti combined cycle generating plant in Astoria, Queens. The project was developed by NYPA on - behalf of the Southeast New York (SENY) governmental customers, which include the City of New York, New Complete r " York City Housing Authority, MTA, and the Port Authority among others. Commercial production began in May 2006 for the new SCS Astoria Energy 500 MW state-of-the-art electric generating facility located in Astoria, Queens. The financing of this project was enabled by a 10-year power Complete Support innovative means to finance appropriate purchase agreement with Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. 1 Energy Supply electricity projects As of April 2006, the City of New York and other Southeast New York governmental customers, through NYPA, are finalizing a 10-year renewable energy purchase for approximately 20 MW beginning in 2008 from Horizon Substantially Complete Wind Energy LLC, which is developing wind farms in upstate New York. LU -1> t) In spring 2005, NYPA, on behalf of the City of New York and other Southeast New York govemmental customers, awarded multi-year, energy only, power purchase agreements starting in 2008 to Entergy Corporation and Complete Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. In March 2005, NYPA, on behalf of the City of New York and other Southeast New York govemmental customers, Substantially issued a Request for Proposal for 500 MW of new in-City capacity beginning as early as 2008. As of May 2006, O Complete 2'. NYPA is evaluating the proposals. w « LUin UJ LU On January 19, 2006, EDO and the Energy Policy Task Force (EPTF) members held a roundtable of industry experts to discuss barriers to financing new power plants in New York City. In summer 2006, the Task Force will Substantially Q O !'J be crafting policy, regulatory, and legislative recommendations for the purpose of facilitating financing of new Complete ! ^= power plants in the City. The State Assembly and Senate both introduced legislative proposals in early 2006. EPTF members led by the City of New York and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) will continue to work with the Independent Advocate in Albany for the immediate passage of the 2 Energy Supply Article X Power Plant Siting Law Power Producers of New York (IPPNY) and others to craft a compromise bill. However, the prospects for the Re -Launched passage of new siting legislation are uncertain at this time due to the magnitude of the differences between the two leading proposals. Con Edison, EDO and several other members of the EPTF are conducting a comprehensive steam plant Facilitate appropriate siting of power plants and other production study that will examine the cost to produce steam for Con Edison rate payers and will explore 3 Energy Supply Substantially energy facilities repowering options for Con Edison steam plants. The results of Phase 1 of the study will be reported to the Public Complete Service Commission (PSC) by summer 2006 subject to confidentiality rules. Page 1 of 10 NYC ENERGY POLICY TASK FORCE 2006 STATUS REPORT # Recommendation Category Update 2006 Status Con Edison is preparing to begin construction on a new 345 kV feeder from Sprain Brook, north of Yonkers, to the new Sherman Creek Switching Station in Upper Manhattan. The project will address significant load growth in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan, and increase the total transfer capability into the City by about 345 MW. The Launched City of New York is providing support and working with Con Edison on siting issues and approvals for the feeder and switching station. Con Edison completed their "System Reliability Assurance Study" (SRAS) in December 2005. The study shows that New York City and Long Island will not need new resources until 2012, and possibly as late as 2014 depending on the success of demand-side initiatives adopted by the PSC. The study indicates that Distributed Complete Resources and new transmission capacity may be cost-effective methods to meet future requirements. The / study may be viewed at - http://www.nycedc.com/Business_lncentives/Energy/srasreportdec2005.pdf The 2005 Energy Policy Act requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to create national mandatory electric reliability standards. The City of New York and other EPTF members were successful in Support the development of appropriate transmission 4 Energy Supply securing language in the Act that preserves New York State's right to set reliability standards that are more Complete lines stringent than those for the rest of the country. In 2006, the City of New York and other EPTF members will continue to work with FERC in the implementation of those standards. The City of New York, Con Edison, and several other members of the EPTF are participating in and supporting the New York Independent System Operator's (NYISO) ongoing Comprehensive Reliability Planning Process. Substantially The purpose of the planning process is to determine future New York State electric reliability needs and to Complete request market-based solutions, including alternative regulated solutions, as well as backstop solutions from the responsible transmission owners to meet the identified reliability needs. In March 2006, the City of New York publicly urged the federal Department of Energy to designate a New Jersey to New York City electric transmission priority pathway as a National Interest Electricity Transmission Corridor (NIETC). Such a designation would serve as a means of reducing regulatory uncertainty for developers of Launched transmission facilities. In addition, the City of New York has recently taken steps to encourage the FERC to help create incentives that will facilitate investment in new transmission lines. Broadwater Energy filed an application with FERC in January 2006 for the construction of a proposed liquefied natural gas facility in Long island Sound. Several members of the EPTF have intervened in the FERC Launched proceeding. 5 Support diversity of fuel supply Energy Supply EPTF member KeySpan Energy has taken an equity interest in the Millennium Pipeline that is projected to reach New Yori< City in its second phase of development. In August 2005, Millennium Pipeline Company filed an Launched application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to allow it to initiate Phase 1 of construction from Corning to Ramapo, New York. The application is currently under review at FERC.

The 5-year extension, which begins in July 2006, Complete includes an increase in annual state-wide funding to $175 million as well as an increased focus on peak load reduction programs, green building design, and low-income programs. The PSC's Order approving the extension may be viewed at - http://www.dps.state.ny.us/sbc.htm Five million dollars was set aside in the Con Edison Gas & Steam rate case approved in 2004 for a new gas efficiency three-year pilot program. The pilot also includes a gas efficiency potential study that was completed in Substantially May 2006. Through its role on the Con Edison Gas Efficiency Advisory Group, the City of New York and other Complete EPTF members will continue to advocate for the creation of a permanent comprehensive gas efficiency program. The City of New York, NRDC, Con Edison and other EPTF members were successful in advocating for the passage of the "New York State Appliance and Equipment Energy Efficiency Standards Act of 2005," which was signed into law by Governor Pataki in July 2005. The bill gives the New York Department of State and NYSERDA Complete the authority to promulgate energy efficiency performance standards for four categories of new appliances and equipment sold in New York that are not presently regulated. The four categories are: incandescent reflector lamps, metal halide lamp fixtures, power supplies, and consumer audio and visual products.

  • Testimony of Edward N. Krapels, Ceo of Anbaric Development Partners, Before the Energy Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, May 10, 2018
    5/7/2018 11:30:31 AM TESTIMONY OF EDWARD N. KRAPELS, CEO OF ANBARIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, BEFORE THE ENERGY SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE ENERGY AND COMMERCE COMMITTEE, MAY 10, 2018 Mr. Chairman, distinguished members of the Energy Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Thank you for inviting me to testify on the State of Electric Transmission: Investment, Planning, Development and Alternatives. My name is Ed Krapels and I am the founder and CEO of Anbaric. We build the electric businesses of the future. We helped spearhead two high-voltage, direct current buried transmission lines between New Jersey and New York, increasing market efficiency and saving ratepayers hundreds of millions of dollars as a result. This high-voltage direct current technology is common world-wide but not used much in the US – its small size makes it well suited to linking markets in congested areas of the country where construction is difficult. An article I have just published in The Electricity Journal, reviews why -- even though everyone agrees these kinds of interregional transmission links are useful and more are needed -- both existing and new interregional projects are choked off by well-intentioned but unproductive regulations. That article is part of my written testimony. We come here this morning, however, to discuss an extremely important new opportunity in our power industry. Federal energy and environmental policy can accelerate what promises to be a once-in-a-generation chance to launch a new domestic industry – offshore wind -- if we do it smartly and thoughtfully from the start. The key to success is to plan, design and build shared, independent offshore transmission systems – OceanGrids – in each of the participating coastal states.

  • HVDC Hudson Transmission Project in New York (US)
    Issue 13/12 http://www.siemens.com/FACTS HVDC/FACTS - Highlights http://www.siemens.com/HVDC HVDC Hudson Transmission Project in New York (US) Successfully in operation since 3rd of June, 2013 New York is the biggest city in the US with approximately 8.3 million inhabitants. This megacity is growing by 160,000 people each year followed by an increasing energy demand. In satisfying this hunger for energy, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) turned to a solution proposed by Hudson Transmission Partners to transmit power from the neighboring grid of PJM in New Jersey to New York City and to upgrade and reinforce New Jersey’s grid. Benefits by the HVDC Hudson Transmission Project Especially in the hot summer period, the energy demand rises due to increased use of air conditioning systems. Fortunately the Hudson high voltage direct current transmission system (HVDC) was set in operation 42 days ahead of schedule, just before the peak summer period in New York. Thanks to the excellent teamwork of all involved companies, the Hudson HVDC is now providing access to additional electricity and its fast control function provides stabilization to the connected grids, which is a key benefit in the event of grid disturbances or blackouts. “The Hudson Transmission Project will provide enhanced transmission reliability and energy security and access to an additional pool of energy resources,” said New York’s Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. “The new line will also result in substantial economic savings to New York consumers. These are significant benefits that

  • Hudson Transmission Announcement
    Starwood Energy announces the Hudson Transmission project December 4, 2006 – The New York Power Authority (“NYPA”) has approved a proposal by Hudson Transmission Partners, LLC (“Hudson”) of Fairfield, Connecticut, to provide up to 660 megawatts of new electric transmission capacity using a 345 kilovolt line that Hudson will develop, finance, and build between Ridgefield, New Jersey and midtown Manhattan. The Hudson-sponsored project will include approximately eight miles of buried transmission cable, four miles of which will be installed beneath the Hudson River, and a converter station in Ridgefield that will convert alternating current (“AC”) power into direct current (“DC”) power for purposes of efficient transmission, and back to AC power for distribution to NYPA’s New York City customers. The line will connect to Con Edison’s West 49th Street substation. NYPA selected the Hudson proposal, along with a proposal from FPL Energy, LLC, to provide 500 MW of electric generating capacity via the Hudson line from the AES Red Oak natural gas-fired power plant in Sayreville, New Jersey. FPL Energy is a leading competitive energy supplier with power generation projects in 24 states, and is a subsidiary of FPL Group (NYSE:FPL). Together, the Hudson and FPL Energy joint proposal allows NYPA to meet reliability standards for New York City, while establishing a link to electricity markets in the PJM Interconnection (“PJM”), the regional transmission organization that coordinates electric utilities and power producers in 12 states stretching from Pennsylvania to North Carolina and westward to Illinois. Hudson will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits and approvals for the transmission line and converter station, providing financing, constructing the facilities, and operating the line after completion.
