It allows for critical infrastructure upgrades to be paid for over time rather than upfront out of capital budgets which would have a far greater short-term impact on rates and increase volatility. NPU proposes using up to $150 million tax-exempt revenue bonds paid for solely by electric revenue over the next 30 years. For perspective, NPU’s annual electric revenues in its current budget are $64 million. This proposal will not have any impact on the tax rates in Norwich. This will allow NPU to make critical infrastructure upgrades sooner. Paying over time rather than upfront out of capital budgets will significantly reduce the short-term impact on rates and reduce rate volatility in alignment with NPU’s strategic plan. All expenditures under the bond would be approved by the NPU Board as well as city, state and Federal agencies as required If approved, NPU would have access to funds for a variety of large-scale critical projects to improve reliability and meet the growing demand for electricity. While NPU allows for normal replacement of equipment funded through rates on an annual basis, the last major investment in electric infrastructure – transmission lines, substations, equipment, etc., was more than 60 years ago. It is far more efficient – and cost effective – to plan, design, and construct major upgrades – and not respond to more and more frequent outages, emergencies, and repairs that would require large-scale responses from NPU over longer periods of time. Potential projects include: Substations: $85,700,000 o Bean Hill Relocation from the Yantic Flats flood way. o Repairs and upgrades to existing substations and related equipment Distribution: $43,900,000 o 34.5kV Ring Bus - Bus o Replacement of outdated 4.8KV infrastructure with 13.8kv o 13.8kV Upgrades, Transformers, Poles, Distribution Lines, Equipment & Services Transmission: $16,100,000 o 617-Line & 1000-Line Rebuild Other: $ 4,300,000 o Maintenance Facilities, Hydro Structures, Canal, & Hydro Controls  PETITION AND COMMUNICATION #2 September, 2025 NPU’s Purchase of additional Natural Gas Capacity through project RARE Reliable Affordable Resilient Enhancement Project (RARE)  Designed to give CT, MA, and RI increased access to low-cost reliable supply by upgrading sections of the existing pipeline outside Norwich  May be the last opportunity to purchase additional gas capacity for NPU as additional pipeline expansion will be difficult if not impossible in the northeast due to political opposition in surrounding states.  Will support growth within NPU’s service territory and any unused capacity can be remarketed to offset costs  NPU Subscribed Capacity 1,000 Dth/day  Projected in-service date November 1, 2029  (15) year contract term requires council approval.  This proposal will not have any impact on the tax rates in Norwich.  PUBLIC HEARING #1 AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $150,000,000 FOR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC UTILITIES ELECTRIC DIVISION CAPITAL PROJECTS IN THE CITY OF NORWICH, AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $150,000,000 REVENUE BONDS OF THE CITY SECURED SOLELY BY ELECTRIC REVENUE TO MEET SAID APPROPRIATION, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A TRUST INDENTURE, OFFERING DOCUMENTS AND RELATED DOCUMENTS WITH RESPECT THERETO, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY AND DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC UTILITIES TO APPLY FOR AND ACCEPT GRANTS TO FINANCE ANY PORTION OF THE APPROPRIATION BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORWICH: Section 1.
