Attention:Amanda C. Downey, Esq.

Attorney for Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation

Reference:Amended and Restated Large Generator Interconnection Agreement

Dear Ms. Downey:

On February 7, 2014, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (Niagara Mohawk) filed an undisputed Amended and Restated Large Generator Interconnection Agreement (LGIA) between National Grid and Carr Street Generating Company, L.P. (Carr Street).[1] You state that the Carr Street LGIA differs from the pro forma LGIA in that it is a two-party agreement that provides for the continued interconnection service to the generating facility owned by Carr Street and located in the City of East Syracuse, New York. You also state that National Grid and Carr Street have agreed to a twenty-year term for the Carr Street LGIA, and also have agreed to retain charges for operations and maintenance services that are consistent with the charges authorized by the Commission in the existing interconnection agreement that was accepted in Docket No. ER09-70-000. Additionally, in article 1 of the Carr Street LGIA, National Grid and Carr Street have revised the definition of the term “Other Interfaces” to reference the interfaces relevant to interconnection service for the plant.
