PRESS RELEASE FROM NYRI:

NYRI Suspends Its Participation in NY State Transmission Siting Process


FERC Position Discourages Private Investment in State's Energy Infrastructure

ALBANY, N.Y., April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- New York Regional Interconnect (NYRI)
today announced that, while it remains committed to transmission development
in New York State, it is suspending its current participation in the New York
Public Service Commission (PSC) Article VII process for its 1200MW HVDC project.

The March 31st decision by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
denying NYRI's request to review the recently approved rules of the New York
State Independent System Operator (NYISO) for transmission tariffs has
created an unacceptable financial risk for NYRI's investors. Even if the
NYRI project were to be sited by the PSC, NYRI would face the prospect of
being unable to recover transmission costs from the ratepayers who would
benefit from the project.
