OASIS Outage for Willing to Pay Congestion Long Term Changes
Implementation and Outage Schedule
There will be a short outage to the OASIS on Tuesday April 17, 2007
from 3 p.m. -4 p.m. EPT. This outage will be used to resolve a technical
issue that delayed the implementation of the Willing to Pay Congestion
changes to support the MISO-PJM-TVA seams agreement. The outage to implement
the Willing to Pay Congestion changes is now scheduled for Thursday,
April 19, 2007 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. EPT.
Transmission Service Requests on OASIS
During the outage on April 19, the OASIS exception will be available
to create schedules in EES. This will change all the types of transmission
products available in the OASIS. This change will not affect existing
transmission service reservations that are already CONFIRMED (which
use the “old” transmission product types). The complete
revised product list and all supporting documentation are available
here. If you have any questions
regarding this change or the associated documentation, please contact
the OASIS Administrators at 610-666-8972.
Two-Settlement schedules in EES
After the Willing to Pay Congestion changes are implemented, results
users will need to reserve spot import transmission service on the OASIS.
As a result, an OASIS reservation must be attached to each Two-Settlement
(day-ahead market) schedule. The EES Two-Settlement system will not
allow the SPOT keyword on new Two-Settlement schedules.
eTags (real-time schedules in EES)
To ease the impact of this change, EES will continue to allow the use
of the SPOT keyword on eTags until May 10th, 2007 at 12:00 noon. Questions
regarding scheduling can be directed to the EES Hotline at 610-666-2270.

Wylie Ridge Transformer 3rd and
4th Installation Cost and In Service Date Update
This notification is provided by Allegheny Power (AP) to PJM Interconnection,
L.L.C. (PJM) for the purpose of informing PJM of a delay to the in-service
dates and an adjustment of estimated costs for the installation of the
Wylie Ridge Substation third and fourth 345/500kV transformer project.
This project is identified in the PJM RTEP as Project # B0218.
PJM had previously announced at the TEAC meeting on March 1, 2006, that
the respective in-service dates for the Wylie Ridge #3 and #4 transformers
would be June 2007 and Fall 2007, respectively.
Over the past several months, AP has been working with the power transformer
manufacturer that is supplying the transformers for this project to clarify
delivery dates for the transformers and has been informed by the manufacturer
that it is experiencing delivery problems with the steel tank needed for
the completion of the construction of the transformers. The manufacturer
has notified AP that the third transformer delivery date will not occur
until August 2, 2007. This delay will adversely affect AP’s planned
in-service date of the initial transformer by approximately four months.
The revised in-service date for the installation of the third transformer
is now estimated to be October 1, 2007. As a consequence of the delay
of the delivery of the third transformer, the fourth transformer installation
has been revised and is now estimated as December 31, 2007.
In addition, the estimated cost of this project has increased by approximately
$2.5 million from the estimated $12 million reported in the September
22, 2005 TEAC documentation. This increase in cost is attributable to
the following: (1) detailed engineering estimates and design have been
updated, (2) a more detailed project time line has been developed, and
(3) material, vendor, and contractor costs have been more firmed up.
AP understands the importance of this project. However, these delays are
beyond its control. AP will make every effort to improve the final in-service
dates as much as possible. Any further adjustments to the schedule or
estimated costs will be communicated to PJM when and if they develop.

AP Standards of Conduct Disclosure:
On September 29, 2006, an Allegheny Energy Service Corp. procurement department
employee inadvertently disclosed to two non-commercial Energy Affiliate
personnel that PJM had requested that Allegheny Power expedite the installation
of the SVC at its Black Oak Substation to December, 2007 from June, 2008.
While the SVC project has previously been announced, PJM is to announce
this expedited schedule on Thursday, October 5, 2006, six days following
the inadvertent disclosure. The inadvertent disclosure was reported to
the Chief Compliance Officer on September 29. The CCO confirmed that the
two Energy Affiliate employees had not communicated the information to
any other Energy Affiliate employees, and instructed them not to do so.
Pending approval by its Board of Directors to expedite the project, Allegheny

on the project. |
