Interconnection Description. The Xxxxxx Xxxxx Substation project is a new 345kV to 230kV to 115kV substation which will be located in the northwest region of the Penelec service territory and loops the HC - FMR Line and the FVP Line into Xxxxxx Xxxxx Substation. The Xxxxxx Xxxxx Substation will consist of a 345/230kV transformer, a 230kV/115kV transformer, and 345kV, 230kV, and 115kV ring buses designed to significantly improve reliability to customers in northern Penelec service territory by providing additional sources (345kV/230kV and 230kV/115kV transformation) and allow facilities (i.e. breakers, switches, etc.) to be taken out of service for maintenance without interrupting the flow of power between Farmers Valley, East Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxx Xxxxx substations. Inclusion of 230kV transformation at the Xxxxxx Xxxxx Substation also allows for the construction of a new 230kV line to Xxxxx Run substation at a later date. The Project is a mandatory PJM baseline Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (“RTEP”) upgrade and is needed to mitigate thermal and voltage Transmission Planning Criteria violations in the northern Penelec service territory (i.e. McKean, Potter, and Tioga counties) resulting from several NERC Category B and C contingencies.
