PSC Complaint 613798 filed 06/12/16

Due to the following statement:
E-4.3 Need for the Proposed Project.
During a long-term outage of the Ginna generation at a load level of 1,435 MW, subsequent loss
of the 345 kV/115 kV 462 MW transformer #5 at Station 80 will cause the Station 80 345
kV/115 kV transformers #1 and #3, and all the three Station 122 345 kV/115 kV transformers to
be at their full capacity. Thus at peak load levels reached in 2001, the system reached its full
capacity under single contingency conditions.

Rochester Area Reliability Project

I am petitioning the PSC: 
1. Order the Rochester Gas and Electic to suspend all demand charges.
2. Have the RG&E provide rebates to all of their demand billed customers
with interest and penelties dating back to 2001. 

The RG&E has not kept its infrastructure up since Energy East took them over.
Friends I have who work at the RG&E say Iberdrola is even worse.  When Iberdrola
took over the RG&E, they had all power cables in Russell Station severed,
so they could not be spliced.
Reason, they did not want anyone to purchase Russell and convert it to Gas.

The fact that the system is inadequate to meet projected demand,
with Ginna periodically out of service plus the contingency
of a #5 transformer failure at Station 80, is the basis for a claim of negligence.

The E-4.3  project will not solve much. And it will futher weaken the Grid.

Sincerely,

David R. Kaspersin
