To the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission:

West Penn Power Company (“West Penn”), a FirstEnergy company, requests that the

Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (“Commission”) approve a Letter of Notification

(“LON”) for the siting and construction of a high voltage transmission line under two miles in

length. In support of its LON West Penn submits as follows:

1. Pursuant to 52 Pa. Code §57.72 (d)(l)(vi) West Penn submits this LON requesting

that the Commission approve this LON on or before March 2,2017, to meet the required in-service

date of November 1,2017 as described herein. The construction of the Transmission Line loop

will require the installation of two (2) new 3-pole steel dead-end loop structures in order to connect

the existing Hatfield-Yukon 500 kV Transmission Line to the new Rhodes Lane Substation,

creating the Hatfield-Rhodes Lane 500 kV and Rhodes Lane-Yukon 500 kV Transmission Line

circuits. The Project is needed to provide 500 kV electric connection to the 940 MW natural gas

fired combined cycle generation plant proposed by Tenaska Pennsylvania Partners, L.L.C.

Hatfield-Rhodes Lane 500 kV and Rhodes Lane-Yukon 500 kV Transmission Line circuits. Two

(2) new 3-pole steel loop structures will be installed within the new, cleared right-of-way

(“ROW”). The new 3-pole steel loop structures will be approximately 105-122 feet in height and

will be installed on concrete foundations. A topographic map of the area showing the location of

the Project is attached as Exhibit 1. The general layout of the Project is provided in Exhibit 2.

The new 500 kV structures are depicted in Exhibit 3.

8. The Project will be conducted within the easement area acquired by Tenaska

Pennsylvania Partners, L.L.C. (“Tenaska”) on said property in South Huntingdon Township. All

necessary property rights for the Project have been acquired by Tenaska. Since this is an Option

to Build project, Tenaska will assign its easement rights to West Penn after the facilities are built.

Additionally, Tenaska is responsible for securing all the applicable permits to support the Project

construction.
