and Maintenance Work Other Non-MPRP CMP Capital and Maintenance Work that affects the transmission system Transmission Line Structure Replacements both Capital and Maintenance System Planning related Substation rebuilds or expansions to support future reliability needs Substation equipment replacements or upgrades to address maintenance concerns Transmission Line re-rates or rebuilds to increase capacity Substation maintenance equipment inspections and relay testing Regulatory required relay and equipment trip checks Redacted Copy 8 CMP Outage Applications Central Maine Power had 1,200 outage applications in 2012 There have been 1,244 transmission (>34.5kV) and 641 sub- transmission (34.5kV) outage applications in 2013 The MPRP Project has submitted 761 outage applications for the project through October 2, 2013 The outages range in duration from a few hours to eleven months in length The MPRP team anticipates that there will be an additional 500 600 outages needed to finish the program Redacted Copy 9 Maine 2013 Transmission Outages Changes to plan typically result in increased construction cost Costs include overtime, additional contractor resources, expedited material, additional engineering and outage coordination resources, environmental mitigation, schedule and remobilization costs, permitting, etc. Outages that have the potential for significant impact to generators in 2013 will be discussed Long (greater than one week) duration outages Significant potential generation constraints Redacted Copy 10 TRANSMISSION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS All facility in and

Western Maine Alternatives 1 st Outage Purchase additional ROW to eliminate/reduce duration of outages Too expensive for project Siting and permitting delays Utilize more expensive construction techniques to reduce duration of Outage Condition B by 2 months Implemented Utilization of a temporary SPS to increase limits for both outages Eliminated Western Maine Export Interface limit Increased Inner Rumford Export Interface limit Increased Outer Rumford Export Interface limit RPA could operate Implemented RPA installed a Power System Stabilizer Increases interface limits that are a limited by damping Do not take outages during the summer months System operational capacity needs Re-sequence work in order to implement alternatives Outage was delayed more than 12 months Updated generator
