9. Generally speaking. does buried line provide a more reliable (i.e. less breakdowns) power <br />source for businesses/future development? <br />No. Although the presence of trees does make overhead lines more susceptible to outages <br />during storms, underground lines are subject to animals, dig -ins, and cable failures, among other <br />things. <br />10.The line you are running —what size is it? <br />750 MCM underground or 477 ACSR overhead, our largest conductor we use [existing line along <br />Hwy 10 doesn't have proper capacity]. <br />11.Does Connexus have a policy for requiring buried lines versus overhead lines? If yes. may we <br />grab a copy? <br />I have attached a portion of our General Rules and Conditions of Service to answer this <br />question. Reference Section V 4.8. [attached to case] <br />Staff Comment: in summary, the 'NET' increase in project costs attributed to burring the <br />proposed power line are not the responsibility of Connexus Energy (meaning any costs greater <br />than the standard overhead power line project costs). In this particular case, the Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard Extension Area is largely undeveloped and un-platted; therefore, it doesn't warrant <br />underground service by Connexus Energy standards. <br />12.Can we grab maps/plans for the proposed proiect? <br />I have attached a sketch used for our permit application describing the work.
