  6. ON-Line Project:New Plan of Service & Milestones. Phase I: ON-Line ~600-MW (11/30/2012) • Robinson Summit 500/345 kV Switching Station: 2525MVA 500/345-kV XFMRs (no PSTs & SC) • Fold of Falcon – Gonder 345 kV Line Into Robinson Summit Substation; 70% series compensation on Falcon – Robinson Summit 345 kV Line • Harry Allen – Robinson Summit 500 kV # 1 Transmission Line (“ONLine”): 236 mi, 4100-Mvar reactors, single-pole switching, no series compensation

  7. ON-Line Project:New Plan of Service & Milestones (Cont) Phase II: ~2000-MW Transfer (01/2015) • Depends on new Renewable (and traditional) generation and new Transmission Interconnections • ON-Line Series compensation: 70% RS - HA 500 kV • 2×600 MVA PSTs 345 kV @ RS • 300 MVAR SVC at Robinson Summit 345 kV PST bus

  8. Revised ON-Line Project Objectives • Interconnect SPPC and NPC Systems (advantages: scheduling, optimal dispatch, reduced operational generation reserves) • Deliver renewable energy from Northern to Southern Nevada • Utilize SWIP for future interconnection between Southern Nevada/AZ with Idaho System (SWIP-North) • Deliver renewable energy & other future generation from the Nort/NE (ID, Wy, Utah) to Southern Nevada/AZ/CA • Interconnect White Pine Energy Center: deferred
