A new fiber facility will be required at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Road Collector Substation. The following telecommunications will be required on the new fiber facility: • one (1) DS1 MPLS virtual private network (“VPN”) circuit for the energy management system and report transmitting unit (“EMS-RTU”); and • one (1) plain old telephone (“POTs”) line for station voice communication.

Telecommunications Circuit. The Interconnection Customer will be responsible for bringing a new telco fiber facility from the local carrier to the Hawthorn Solar Collector Substation. In accordance with Electric System Bulletins (“ESBs”), the Interconnection Customer shall: • install a dedicated 4’x8’x3/4” backboard for cable termination and local carrier equipment installation; • construct two (2) 4” Schedule 80 conduits from the meet point outside the Hawthorn Solar Collector Substation into the control house (if required by the local carrier) for telecom cable placement; and • provide a dedicated DC power rack (the DC power rack will contain a DC/DC converter system to convert 125VDC station battery to -48VDC). The rack will also contain a 125VDC to 120VAC inverter. DC power rack output will support the telco fiber mux equipment. The Interconnection Customer shall order one (1) Verizon MPLS T1/128K circuit or 10Mb/s ethernet for the SCADA/RTU at the site. (Note: Verizon may retire T1 services in the future. If T1 circuits are not available at the time of project implementation, alternative technologies will be required which could change the overall cost of the telecom solution.) Once the telco fiber facility is installed at the Hawthorn Solar Collector Substation and the Interconnection Customer has completed all make ready work, the Connecting Transmission Owner will order the point-to-point tele-protection circuits between the Hawthorn Solar Collector Substation and the remote substations (North ▇▇▇▇ and Hoosick). The Connecting Transmission Owner’s revenue meter will require a communications link to its RTU. In accordance with the ESBs, the Interconnection Customer shall install a conduit for the communication cables that will run between meter equipment enclosure and RTU enclosure in the Hawthorn Solar Collector Substation control house. The Connecting Transmission Owner will specify and run the communication cables between the meter equipment and RTU enclosures. (Note: Third party telecommunications are potentially long lead time items). To the extent the Small Generating Facility feeder lines, communication circuits, access roads, and/or driveways cross Connecting Transmission Owner-owned transmission or distribution circuits, such crossings must be reviewed by the Connecting Transmission Owner in accordance with the Connecting Transmission Owner’s land use requirements. Per the Hawthorn SERVICE AGREEMENT NO. 2756 Solar Project Specifications (defined below), feeder line cr...

The Connecting Transmission Owner will provision the Verizon DS1 circuits from Hilltop Solar Collector Substation to the Schaghticoke and Eastover Substations. (Note: Verizon may retire T1 services in the future. If T1 circuits are not available at the time of project implementation, alternative technologies will be required which could change the overall cost of the telecom solution.) To the extent the Small Generating Facility feeder lines, communication circuits, access roads, and/or driveways cross Connecting Transmission Owner-owned transmission or distribution circuits, such crossings must be reviewed by the Connecting Transmission Owner in accordance with the Connecting Transmission Owner’s land use requirements. Per the Project Specific Specifications (defined below), feeder line crossings shall be underground so as to maintain the reliability of service provided by the Connecting Transmission Owner to other customers via the impacted transmission and distribution facilities.

The new fiber facility shall provide: (1) DS1 circuit from the North Country Solar Collector Station to Boonville Substation; and • One (1) DS1 multiprotocol label switching and virtual private network (“MPLS VPN”) circuit for energy management system (“EMS”) - remote terminal unit (“RTU”). For protection systems and data transmittal, the Interconnection Customer shall install at least one (1) single mode, all-dielectric self-supporting (“ADSS”), 24 strand fiber optic cable between the North Country Solar Collector Station and the PCO (two fiber circuits are preferred).
