Daniel F. Caruso, Esq.

Chairman, Connecticut Siting CouncilTen Franklin SquareNew Britain, CT 0605 i

Dear Chairman Caruso:

We are writing in strong support of the proposed Montvile Biomass project at the NRG generating facility inMontvile, Connecticut (the "Biomass Project") proposed to the Connecticut Siting Council in Petition 907.

We fully support NRG's plan to modify Montvile Station Unit 5 to use biomass as a fuel source for 30 megawatts(MW) of the unit's 82-MW generating capacity. NRG has proposed using "green wood" biomass, which isessentially chipped wood. This form of biomass is a renewable source of energy that wil help lower the facility'snet carbon footprint. NRG wil obtain the green wood and whole tree chip biomass from nearby foresters and sawmills, which wil provide economic benefits to the region while reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels andreducing dependence on natural gas fuel sources.

When this Biomass Project comes online, it wil be another step in helping Connecticut reach its goal of creating20 percent Class 1 renewable power generation by 2020. NRG recently received Class i certification from theDPUC for this project. This means that the project, once completed, wil be able to immediately start takingadvantage of the state's renewable energy credit program. It also means that this power wil count toward thestate's renewable power generation goals.

The Biomass Project provides critically needed economic benefits by ensuring the ongoing viabilty of MontvileStation as a power generation site and as an employer in Montvile. The project wil allow NRG to maintain orincrease employment levels at Montvile Station and wil provide incremental property tax revenues to the town.Additionally, this shovel-ready project creates significant construction jobs that wil provide immediate economicbenefit to the region.

Thank you for your consideration of NRG' s Biomass Project.

Sincerely,
