Re EB-2011-0063
Interrogatory to the proponent:

Att. Kirsten Walli
Board Secretary.

Dear Ms. Walli,

We acknowledge the Board’s direction that its jurisdiction is limited to matters of price, quality and reliability of electricity.

The proponent proposes to construct a high tension electric transmission line along Haldimand Road #20 in Haldimand County to deliver power from their GREP project to the Ontario grid.

I  wishes to submit the following interrogatory to the proponent regarding price.

SRE proposes to offer the electricity produced by the solar component of the GREP to the Ontario grid at a cost no greater than that required to recover all reasonable costs. (Exhibit A Tab 2, Schedule 1 Item 10)

Since this cost will ultimately be paid by the general public we need to know about price....

 If this cost is now known, what is it? If not, what criteria will be used to establish this cost?. 

Will the cost include mitigating measures to minimize or prevent radio interference common near high tension lines?
Will the cost include health issues that will occur in the future to human health regards to 
the fact addmitted by the applicant of electrical effects, magnitic effects, noise and corrosive effects. It appears that the applicant wish to install and operate this 230,000 volt overhead power line, they (the applicant) is to be held resoponsile for all the emissions from such lines
Will the cost include Municipal realty taxes related to the solar component of the GREP as they change from time to time.
 There is a suggestion to run the lines on a gravel roadway to hookup to the Summerhaven project to save 5 kilometers of unnesseary overhead power lines and that would mean the last 5 kilometer run to the Hydro One Transmission lines would not need the underground cable to cross under Provincial Roadway #3, the two transition stations and The Counry of Haldimand Hydro lines that ore on the North side can remain there. Furthermore the busnisses in that area of Nelles Corners remains uninturped. People that come to enjoy the race track at 'Cayuga 5/8 oval' will not be near any overhead lines and feel safer, as well as a number of homes that are built only a few feet from the Right of Way in this area will not have their health in jeopardy
Sincerely,
