Key Reasons for Refund

• Lower than projected O&M Expense
• Costs related to safety, education, siting, and outreach were

lower than expected due to delays in the CPCN process

• Lower than projected CWIP expenditures
• The extension of the PATH project in-service date to 2015

pushed back all scheduled activities and associated costs including major siting and ROW activities, progress payments for materials and preliminary construction activities resulting in the major reduction of expected spend.

Next Steps

• PATH will post 2012 Projected Transmission

Revenue Requirement on September 1, 2011.

• The 2012 revenue requirement will include a $4.9

million credit, effectively returning the overcollection to customers throughout 2012.

• Interest will also be applied to the $4.9 million credit

and included in the 2012 revenue requirement.
