ties would have a total maximum name plate capacity of: 60 -megawatts (Adelaide); 75 -megawatts (Bornish); and 150 -megawatts (Jericho). The map indicates the project locations
being studied for the Adelaide, Bornish and Jericho transmission lines only and does not include the wind turbine siting areas as this meeting will focus on the transmission line
routes. The Jericho project transmission line is proposed to extend eastward from Lambton County into Middlesex County. The Adelaide project transmission line is proposed to
extend northward from Adelaide -Metcalfe into Middlesex County. These lines will connect into a single transmission line that will be shared by the Bornish project and this line
will extend eastward to connect to an existing 5(X)kV transmission line in North Middle-
sex.
