It’ll never happen.

There can be no assurance that efforts to develop the Bloomsbury, NJ site for 20 megawatts will be successful. There are numerous financing and regulatory and timing hurdles involved with any project, and HVW does not have its own capital necessary to satisfy the financing needs to complete these projects at this time and will have to obtain financing through third parties, of which there can be no assurance.

Thanks & if anybody has any doubts call HVCW & find out. Going over .002 next week with new HOY. That's why I added shares last week.

Well....actually the PJM website told us(anyone who cares) that the application was in and the Feasibility Phase was started on September 28th, 2019. The PR came out after that. So...you are probably wrong again, but I digress.

PJM operates the grid for which the Warren Glen Storage Project would be a part of. They have to join that grid. There are no other options.

Here is the quick and dirty.

4.1 New Services Requests Study Timeline
The PJM Operating Agreement, Schedule 6, and the Tariff, Parts IV and VI, describe the
procedures used to process New Services Requests for the PJM transmission system. The
Operating Agreement and Tariff establish the statutory basis for the business rules, described
in detail in this Manual M14A, for the interconnection request process. These business rules
include three analytical steps:
1. Feasibility Study
2. System Impact Study
3. Interconnection Facilities Study.
Each step imposes its own financial obligations and establishes milestone responsibilities.
Projects within each time-based queue are evaluated against a baseline benchmark set of
studies in order to establish project-specific responsibility for system enhancements, separate
from general network upgrades suggested by the results of baseline analyses. Each Developer
is encouraged to participate in the activities of the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee
(TEAC) and its Sub regional RTEP Committee. PJM consults with the TEAC and Sub regional
RTEP Committees as part of the larger Regional Transmission Planning Process through which
a coordinated regional expansion plan – including expansions necessitated by generation and
merchant transmission interconnection - is reviewed.
Important PJM interconnection process steps established to implement provisions of the PJM
Tariff:
• The interconnection queuing process including the procedures used to initialize the
interconnection evaluation process based on the timing of the receipt of all requests
• The cost responsibility for transmission upgrades required for interconnection;
• The rights accorded to a generator after it has satisfied Tariff requirements;
• The required Interconnection Service Agreement (ISA) and Construction Service
Agreement (CSA). Each of these two agreements is executed by and among three
parties: the Developer, the Transmission Owner and the Transmission Provider (PJM).
4.2 Feasibility Study
After a valid New Services Request is received, PJM assigns a System Planning Project
Manager as the Team Leader to initiate and direct the implementation of the Study phases of
the Generator and/or Transmission Interconnection Process (see Attachment C of this Manual
for PJM Generation and Transmission Planning Team Role Clarity Diagram). Under the direction
of the Team Leader, PJM staff, in coordination with any affected Interconnected Transmission

PJM Manual 14A: New Services Request Process
Section 4: New Services Request Study Process
Owner(s), will establish a time to hold a Scoping Meeting as described in Section 36.1.5 of the
Tariff.
Following the Scoping Meeting, PJM and the Interconnected Transmission Owner will conduct
the Generation or Transmission Interconnection Feasibility Study when no deficiencies exist
for an individual Interconnection Request. In general, the study will be completed within
90 days during the next Feasibility Study Cycle. If this is not possible, PJM must so notify
the Developer and provide an anticipated completion date. PJM, in coordination with any
affected Interconnection Transmission Owner(s), shall conduct Generation and Transmission
Interconnection Feasibility Studies two times each year (Tariff at Part VI, Subpart A, Section
36.2 - formerly 36.2 and 41.2, in Part IV) for completion by:
• January 31, for requests received during the six month period ending September 30 of
the preceding year.
• July 31, for requests received during the six month period ending March 31.
The Feasibility Study assesses the practicality and cost of incorporating the generating unit or
increased generating or transmission capacity into the PJM system. The analysis is limited to
short-circuit studies and load-flow analysis. This study does not include stability analysis. The
study also focuses on determining preliminary estimates of the type, scope, cost and lead time
for construction of facilities required to interconnect the project.
Results of the study for the requested interconnection service (Capacity Resource or Energy
Resource) are provided to the Developer and the affected Interconnection Transmission
Owners, and are published on the PJM web site. Confidentiality of the Developer is maintained
in these reports, but the location of the project and size (in megawatts) is identified. After
reviewing the results of the Generation or Transmission Interconnection Feasibility Study, the
Developer must decide whether or not to pursue completion of the System Impact Study.
Each New Service Request is studied on a summer peak RTEP base case with the case year
dependent on the New Services Queue under study. PJM will identify the base case year to be
used in the study of a specific queue on its website. Both load flow and short circuit cases will
use the same base case year. In some cases, depending upon the age of the study, versions
of the models to study the New Service Request may no longer be available to use for certain
vintage cases. As this occurs, PJM may need to evaluate the New Service Request on a
different year case in order to maintain the ability to properly represent the proposed customer
facilities.
Generation Interconnection Requests that are 20 MWs or less, or for increases in capability of
20 MW or less for existing generation, are governed by Subpart G of Part IV of the Tariff and
Manual 14G, Section 5. have to complete all the phases to be allowed to join the grid.

Now before you all go and tell me I'm wrong, please understand that PJM operates the grid for which they want to join. There are no other grids to be a part of and they can't just be a stand alone facility because they would have no way to provide electricity to anyone if they are not connected.

Have a great weekend.
