Preface
The intent of this System Impact Study is to determine a plan, with cost and construction
time estimates, for the Network Upgrades necessary to provide the Incremental Auction
Revenue Rights (IARRs) associated with the Upgrade Request as provided by the New
Service Customer pursuant to Section 7.8 of Schedule 1 of the Operating Agreement and
Part VI of the PJM Tariff.
In some instances, a New Service Customer with an associated Upgrade Request may not
be responsible for 100% of the identified Network Upgrade cost because other
transmission network uses exist. An estimate of the sharing of the Network Upgrade
costs will be provided.

Total estimated costs: $25.7334M
Notes:
 Detailed Engineering & Construction Estimates TBD during Facility Study
 Estimates for time required to construct the reinforcements will be identified during
the Facilities Study
 The above estimates do not include 1) tax gross-up, 2) Real estate and permitting
costs.
 The total estimated cost listed above includes only the sag study cost for Items 27 and
35. Should the sag studies determine that further mitigation is needed, the costs will
increase up to the estimate provided for rebuilding the lines. This could add up to
another $10M on top of the total estimated costs listed above.
 ** - All MISO mitigations and cost estimates will be provided as a part of the
Facilities Study per PJM-MISO JOA
