Long Island Power Authority and Subsidiaries
2015 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
Executive Summary
The revenue and expenditure forecasts contained herein represent the proposed Operating and Capital Budgets of the Long
Island Power Authority and its subsidiaries (“Authority” or “LIPA”) for the year ending December 31, 2015.
The Authority’s mission is to oversee the performance of our primary service provider, PSEG Long Island, meet the
expectations of our bondholders, and faithfully carry out our fiscal and contractual duties, all with the goals of providing
efficient, reliable, and affordable service to Long Island electric customers. While our goals require continual improvement
and change, the 2015 budget benefits from the significant progress made in 2014, including reorganization of the utility
business model under a new and unique public-private structure; seating a new Board of Trustees; developing a new
Authority management team; transitioning utility operations to PSEG Long Island on January 1, 2014; signing agreements
for over $1.4 billion of federal grants for storm recovery and hardening; establishing a constructive dialogue with the newly
formed Long Island Office of the Department of Public Service; and continued progress on the evaluation of important
energy efficiency and renewable investments.
During this period, PSEG Long Island has demonstrated the value of an experienced and focused utility operator. PSEG
Long Island has made measurable progress toward achieving (or maintaining) first quartile performance within five years for
nearly all operating performance metrics under the Amended and Restated Operations Services Agreement (“OSA”);
maintained 99.9% system reliability with fewer outages; made significant progress in the JD Power Residential and Business
Customer Satisfaction Surveys with improvements of 78 and 51 points, respectively; achieved nearly 90% customer
satisfaction in after-call customer surveys; begun implementation of over 40 business process change initiatives; improved
customer-facing technology in the call centers and for storm response; demonstrated management and employee
engagement in the Long Island community; completed a new Emergency Response Plan; and filed its first annual Utility 2.0
Long Range Plan.
The proposed Operating and Capital Budgets for 2015 incorporate additional initiatives designed to further improve the
levels of reliable service, enhance customer satisfaction, improve storm response, accommodate system needs, promote
energy efficiency and renewable energy, and complete the transition of remaining operating functions from the Authority to
PSEG Long Island. The budget reflects both the Authority and PSEG Long Island’s continued commitment to managing
costs while meeting our goals. The budget also reflects the continued benefits to customers of Long Island Power Authority
ownership, including the Authority’s non-profit status, lower cost of capital, and access to federal and state grants, which are
estimated to save customers approximately $400 million per year.

Long Island Power Authority and Subsidiaries
2015 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
The proposed Operating Budget maintains delivery (i.e., non-fuel related) rates at their 2014 levels. Since 2006, the cost of
electricity on Long Island has increased 3.9% compared to a general increase in the cost of living in the region of 15.2%. In
real terms (after inflation), the cost of electricity on Long Island has declined by 11.3% over the period, as compared to
increases at neighboring utilities (in real terms) of up to 19.9%.
The proposed 2015 Operating Budget totals $3.6 billion. This is an increase of $74.0 million or 2.1% from the approved
budget for 2014, primarily reflecting higher projected fuel and purchased power costs of $80.4 million, decreased grant and
other income of $121.0 million, and offsetting reductions in operating expenses of $127.4 million.
The proposed 2015 Capital Budget totals $677.8 million, representing a record level of investment in electric system
resiliency and reliability, with significant positive effects on the local economy and jobs. Over $176 million of this investment
will fund a storm hardening program, better preparing Long Island for the effects of climate change and severe weather.
This investment will be paid for by a $730 million grant secured during 2014 from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (“FEMA”). This FEMA grant is expected to be sufficient to harden between 300 and 400 of the worst performing
electric circuits on the Authority’s electric grid over the next several years, positively impacting service reliability and
customer satisfaction.
Electric sales for 2015 are forecast at 20,077,119 MWh, which is 0.9% less than the budgeted sales level for 2014 (but 2.4%
higher than the current projection of 2014 sales, largely due to cooler than normal temperatures in 2014 and an expectation
of normal weather conditions in 2015). The sales forecast reflects general economic conditions in the region and a higher
level of energy conservation efforts employed by customers.
Revenues reflect continued monthly Power Supply Charge adjustments for actual fuel and purchased power costs as incurred
as well as two cost recovery riders implemented in 2010: (1) a rider to recover costs associated with the Efficiency Long
Island (“ELI”) and Renewable Energy programs, similar to the System Benefit Charge mechanisms used by New York
regulated utilities; and (2) a rider to recover costs associated with the New York State Temporary Energy and Utility
Conservation Assessment, enacted by the State in 2009. This budget also proposes a revenue decoupling mechanism,
budgeted at zero, with the first of any such adjustment to occur in 2016, to mitigate the revenue losses arising from proposed
increased investment in demand-side management and end-use energy efficiency as well as the sales-related variability in
revenues from weather and general economic factors. Each of these riders is similar to mechanisms approved by the New
York State Public Service Commission for regulated utilities.

Long Island Power Authority and Subsidiaries
2015 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
Fuel and Purchased Power expenses for 2015 are budgeted at $1.60 billion, an increase of 5.3% as compared to the 2014
budget. The budget is based on forecasted commodity prices using the ten-day average of the forward price curve as of
October 20, 2014 and the projected cost of purchased power and nuclear fuel. The primary drivers of the increase, versus the
budgeted level in 2014, are higher projected commodity expenses, net of lower sales and the projected impact of the
Authority’s commodity hedge positions.
PSEG Long Island Operating Expenses are budgeted at $457.9 million, which is $37.6 million below the level approved for
2014. PSEG Long Island Operating Expenses include the following major areas: Transmission and Distribution - $136.5
million, Customer Services - $95.7 million, Shared Services – $116.8 million, Power Markets - $14.7 million, and Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy Program - $83.9 million. The proposed budget for the Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy Program reflects the additional peak load reductions of the ELI initiative as well as support of customer-based solar
and wind distributed generation. The Operating Budget includes $2.0 million towards development costs of the Utility 2.0
Long Range Plan and $13.3 million for program implementation. An additional $3.9 million for Utility 2.0 AMI deployment
is contained in the 2015 Capital Budget.
Both amounts are contingent upon a recommendation for
implementation/deployment to the Board of Trustees. The budget also reflects the transition to the statewide NY Sun
residential and commercial solar rebate programs administered by the New York State Energy and Research Development
Authority (“NYSERDA”). Also included in PSEG Long Island Operating Expenses is $16.3 million associated with the
Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) with National Grid related to the termination of this agreement, including the
transition of these functions to PSEG Long Island in early 2015.
PSEG Long Island Managed Expenses are budgeted at $582.1 million, a decrease of $6.7 million as compared to 2014. These
costs include the National Grid Power Supply Agreement (“PSA”) – $456.0 million, activities associated with LIPA’s 18%
ownership interest in the Nine Mile Point 2 (“NMP2”) nuclear power generating plant – $28.4 million, storm restoration –
$48.6 million, assessments – $21.5 million, and losses on uncollectible accounts – $21.7 million.
Transmission and Distribution (“T&D”) Utility Depreciation is budgeted at $107.7 million in 2015, $51.1 million below the
budgeted level for 2014. This is comprised of the depreciation of Authority-owned electric assets managed by PSEG Long
Island. The year-over-year reduction is due to the adoption of updated depreciation rates in 2014 that more accurately
reflect the estimated service lives of the assets.
Taxes and assessments imposed by the State, counties, and local jurisdictions continue to represent a large burden to Long
Island electric customers. Such taxes and assessments are budgeted at $549.1 million, or 15.3% of customer bills (see
schedule A-7). This reflects a decrease of $18.9 million, or 3.3% as compared to the 2014 budget. A portion of these
-3-
Long Island Power Authority and Subsidiaries
2015 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
expenses appear in the line items for Payments In Lieu of Taxes (“PILOTs”), while the remainder are components of PSEG
Long Island Managed Costs. The 2015 Operating Budget benefits from the first year of a 2% cap on year-over-year increases
in T&D system PILOTs under the LIPA Reform Act. However, the Authority also incurs real property-based taxes on
generation assets under contract through the National Grid PSA, which do not benefit from this cap. The Authority
continues to challenge the property tax assessments on the PSA plants, which are significantly over-assessed, so as to reduce
this expense for our customers.
The Authority’s Operating Expenses are budgeted at $60.9 million. This represents a decrease of $22.8 million, or 27.2%, as
compared with the budgeted level for 2014, primarily due to the planned transition of the power supply planning and
contract management functions from the Authority to PSEG Long Island on January 1, 2015. The Authority’s primary
Operating Expense is the PSEG Long Island management fee budgeted at $45.4 million, before the reduction for the portion
associated with capital planning and expenditures of $10.0 million. Authority Salaries and Benefits are budgeted at $10.1
million and constitute approximately 0.3% of revenues for 2015. The Salaries and Benefits budget reflects a staffing level of
40 employees, ten less than the level budgeted in 2014. General and Administrative Expenses, including office rent,
insurance and other administrative activities, are budgeted at $5.5 million, a decrease of $1.2 million or 17.9%, and
constitute 0.15% of revenues for 2015. Professional Services, consisting primarily of engineering consulting, auditing, legal,
financial, and grant administration activities, are budgeted at $9.9 million, a decrease of $7.9 million or 44.2% as compared
with the budgeted level for 2014. These expenses are approximately 0.3% of revenues for 2015. Authority Depreciation and
Amortization is budgeted at $117.4 million and consists primarily of the amortization of the Acquisition Adjustment of $111.4
million related to the acquisition of the Long Island Lighting Company in 1998.
Interest Expense is budgeted at $367.0 million, an increase of $14.3 million, or 4.0% as compared to the level budgeted for
2014. The higher expense for 2015 reflects an anticipated borrowing in December 2014 to fund capital investments made as
part of the Capital Budgets in 2014 and 2015, assumed higher average interest rates on variable rate debt for 2015, and
certain non-cash charges associated with a December 2013 debt refinancing. The average level of debt outstanding for 2015
is forecast at $7.62 billion, including the securitized debt issued in 2013, as compared to $7.65 billion in 2014.
Other Income and Deductions is budgeted at $31.6 million, $6.3 million lower than the 2014 budgeted level. The decrease
reflects lower short-term investment income and lower carrying charges on the deferred Shoreham property tax settlement.
Grant Income is budgeted at $76.0 million for 2015, $114.7 million lower than the 2014 budgeted level. Grant Income
primarily consists of a grant received from NYSERDA Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (“RGGI”) funds to support energy
efficiency programs (budgeted at $34.6 million) and a $143.4 million grant received from the Governor’s Office of Storm

Long Island Power Authority and Subsidiaries
2015 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
Recovery from HUD Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) funds (of which $107.42 million is projected in 2014
and $36 million is budgeted in 2015). The CDBG grant provides the local match component of grants received from FEMA
for storm restoration and funds certain storm mitigation protective measures. The FEMA grant for storm hardening
mentioned above is an offset to capital costs in the Capital Budget and as such is not reflected in the 2015 Operating Budget.
Pursuant to the LIPA Reform Act, the Authority and PSEG Long Island will file a three-year rate plan with the Department of
Public Service by February 1, 2015, which will include a five year projection of revenues, expenses, sales, fuel and purchased
power commodity costs, and capital budgets.

Sales and Revenues
Electric sales for 2015 are forecasted at 20,077,119 MWh, or 0.9% lower than the level included in the approved 2014
Budget and 2.4% higher than the full year sales level projected for 2014, largely reflecting the cooler than normal
temperatures experienced in 2014. LIPA’s load and energy forecast is prepared utilizing econometric regression models
and incorporates the effects of reductions related to LIPA’s efficiency and renewables programs. The forecast assumes
normal weather for 2015.
Revenues are budgeted at $3.6 billion, or 2.1% higher than the level budgeted for 2014, reflecting forecast higher Power
Supply Charges to recover the costs of fuel and purchased power. Revenues net of fuel and purchased power costs are
forecasted at $1,995 billion, or 0.3% lower than the budgeted level for 2014 due to lower budgeted sales. Revenues are
derived primarily from retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Also included are
revenues from electric sales to public authorities and for street lighting. In accordance with LIPA’s Tariff for Electric
Service (“Tariff”), LIPA’s Delivery Charge recovers the costs associated with maintaining and improving its transmission
and distribution system and serving its retail customers. Additionally, LIPA recovers those costs associated with
purchasing and producing electric energy (fuel and purchased power) through the Power Supply Charge. Finally, LIPA
imposes various surcharges and non-electric service charges, such as those to recover costs associated with its Efficiency
and Renewables program, assessments, revenue-related PILOTs, fees for pole attachments, late payment charges to
customers whose bills are in arrears and other miscellaneous service fees.

Fuel and Purchased Power Costs
Fuel and purchased power costs for 2015 are budgeted at $1.604 billion, an increase of 5.3% as compared with the expense
level budgeted for 2014, and a decrease of 4.4% when compared with the expense level projected for 2014. The primary
driver of the increase is higher projected commodity expenses, net of the impact of lower sales and LIPA’s commodity
hedge positions.
Fuel and purchased power cost projections are prepared utilizing a generation economic dispatch model that considers
among other variables, the availability and efficiency of generating resources, delivered fuel prices, and environmental
regulatory requirements. The projected fuel prices are currently provided by energy consulting firm EVA, whose forecast
was as of October 20th of forward prices by month for 2015.
In addition to the cost for generation fuels and purchased power, fuel and purchased power costs include expenditures for
environmental compliance related to generation, generation and transmission cable capacity covered by contract, LIPA’s
share of costs incurred by the New York, New England and PJM independent system operators (“ISO”), electric power
wheeling, payments made to Energy Service Companies (“ESCOs”) in accordance with the Long Island Choice program,
services received under energy, power and fuel management agreements, fuel hedging program costs, and renewable
energy resources. The cost is net of revenues from the sale of ancillary services.

Operating Expenses
Total Operating Expenses are budgeted at $1.017 billion, a decrease of 5.3% from the budgeted expense level for 2014.
Operating Expenses are comprised primarily of costs associated with operating and maintaining LIPA’s T&D system and
providing generated and purchased power. They consist of three major expense categories: PSEG Long Island Operating
Expenses, which are budgeted at $457.9 million, a decrease of $37.6 million from the approved 2014 level; PSEG Long
Island Managed Expenses, which are budgeted at $582.1 million, a decrease of $6.7 million from 2014, and LIPA
Operating Expenses, which are budgeted at $60.9 million, a decrease of $22.8 million from the budgeted level for 2014.
Costs related to each category of expense are detailed and discussed on Schedules A-4.1 through A-4.6(a).

PSEG Long Island Operating Expenses
PSEG Long Island 2015 Operating Expenses are budgeted to be $462.4 million. These costs are related to six major
areas: Transmission and Distribution - $136.5 million; Customer Services - $95.7 million; Shared Services - $116.8
million; National Grid TSA expenses - $16.3 million; Power Markets - $14.7 million, and Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy Programs - $83.9 million.
PSEG Long Island’s budget is based on the Amended and Restated OSA that became effective on January 1, 2014. This
budget is aligned with the OSA metrics and PSEG Long Island’s commitments to enhance customer satisfaction,
maintain reliability, and improve storm response. This budget includes significant investment in process improvement
activities including storm response and communication, preventative maintenance activities and vegetation
management. It also reflects the utilization of newly implemented systems including the Outage Management System,
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology, and the Asset Management Model in T&D. Labor costs are based on an
organization structure consisting of 2,261 employees. The benefit costs are based on programs designed and utilized in
2014 that substantially duplicated the benefits of the transitioned bargaining unit employees from National Grid and in
accordance with the requirements of the OSA and the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The operating costs for
Pension are based on expected contributions to the Pension Investment Trust during 2015 and do not reflect the
additional requirement of non-cash FASB pension cost of $55 million. Post-retirement medical costs are budgeted on
a “pay-as-you-go” basis. During 2015, PSEG Long Island will migrate to the PSEG ERP system. The interim use of the
National Grid ERP System through the National Grid TSA agreement will be discontinued in 2015.

PSEG Long Island – Customer Services
The Customer Services organization is comprised of four departments, which include Revenue Operations, Meter Services,
Customer Contact and Billing, and Customer Experience and Utility Marketing.
Customer Services plays a key role in the success of the organization. Of the 18 non-financial OSA targets, Customers
Services has direct responsibility for 10 targets and shared responsibility for five OSA targets, resulting in an 80% stake in
the OSA metrics. Of the 15 OSA targets that Customer Services influences, 14 of them are improvement metrics, meaning
that by the year 2018, it is expected that all 14 of these targets would be in the top quartile of their benchmark. To achieve
the improvement path, Customer Services must close the gap between 2013’s performance level and top quartile
performance by 20% each year.
Customer Services operating costs are budgeted at $95.7 million. The budget is based on a Customer Services organization
consisting of 718 employees, which falls within the industry benchmark for top quartile companies based on the number of
employees per customer served. The operating budget consists of 80% labor, inclusive of all labor related costs, such as
base labor, OT spend, fringe benefits, and payroll taxes, and 20% non-labor, inclusive of outside services costs, vendor
contracts, materials and business expenses. The non-labor portion of the budget includes funding for billing and payment
processing functions that are primarily performed by outside vendors, customer communications, and vendor/supplier
support for various areas of the business. Customer Services has 96 vendors/suppliers supporting the business.
Also included in the Customer Services budget is funding to support improved Customer technology such as the “My
Account” application, paperless billing, and the municipal storm portal.
The Revenue Operations department is responsible for the overall collections strategy, timely and accurate processing of
customer payments, revenue integrity via investigations of metering conditions, business documentation and controls,
and walk-in customer offices. The department has direct responsibility for three OSA metrics, which includes Days Sales
Outstanding (DSO), Net Write-Off Per $100 Billed Revenue, and Personal Contact Survey, specifically for our walk-in
centers.
A-4.3 (a)
Long Island Power Authority and Subsidiaries
2015 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
The Meter Services department is responsible for meter reading, field collections, systems and technology infrastructure
to support meter and field services, testing and maintenance, and acts as the lead for Customer Services regarding health
and safety related initiatives. The department has direct responsibility for one OSA metric, which is Actual Meter Read
Rate, with significant contributions to Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and Net Write-Off Per $100 Billed Revenue.
The Customer Contact and Billing department is responsible for all call center operations, bill calculation, bill print, and
billing support. The department has direct responsibility for five Operating Service Agreement (OSA) metrics, which
includes After-Call Surveys for both residential and business customers, Average Speed of Answer (ASA), Abandonment
Rate, and Timely Billing.
The Customer Experience and Utility Marketing department is responsible for the management of major customer
accounts, marketing and promotional initiatives, customer relations, customer experience, and customer-facing
technology. The department has direct responsibility for three OSA metrics, which includes JD Power Residential Survey,
JD Power Business Survey and Web Transactions Completed.
Note: All areas have shared responsibility for OSHA Injury Rate, OSHA Severity Index, Personal Contact Survey, and JD
Power Residential and Business Surveys.

PSEG Long Island – Shared Services
The Shared Services organization is comprised of Business Performance Excellence, Communications and Public Affairs,
Finance and Accounting, Human Resources, Information Management, Procurement, Legal, Internal Audit, Facilities
Management, and Security.
The Shared Services organization operating costs are budgeted at $116.8 million and consists of 215 employees. The
operating budget is 21% labor (including labor-related costs) and 79% non-labor. The non-labor portion of the budget is
comprised of costs relating to insurance, facilities leases and operating costs, decommissioning cost for the use of the
National Grid ERP system and migration to the PSEG ERP system, information technology license and maintenance
agreements, and data center and network costs.
The 2015 budgets for the Shared Services organizations reflect lower costs as compared to 2014 achieved through a
continued focus on cost reduction.
In 2014 PSEG Long Island utilized the National Grid SAP and other information technology systems. The cost for the use
of these systems is included within the cost of the National Grid Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”). In addition, the
majority of the Finance and Accounting staff remained with National Grid as required to utilize the National Grid financial
system and these costs were included within the costs of the TSA as well. The schedule to transition from the National
Grid SAP has been accelerated, resulting in an earlier transition to the PSEG SAP system. The earlier transition reduces
2015 costs. In 2015 the cost for PSEG Long Island systems is included within the budget for the Information Management
organization and the transitioned staff positions are included within Finance and Accounting. The 2015 budgeted costs
for the National Grid TSA are substantially one time decommissioning costs.
In 2014 the costs for Nine Mile Point 2 oversight were budgeted in the Shared Services Organization. In 2015 the
oversight of Nine Mile Point 2 is included within the functions of the Power Markets organization.

PSEG Long Island – Power Markets
The Power Markets organization is comprised of three major areas, Strategy and Planning, Cost and Rate Impact Analysis,
and Power Resources and Contract Management. The organization performs long term supply planning including the
Integrated Resources Plan; manages the power plant contracts, merchant transmission contracts and the Nine Mile Point
2 agreement; supports LIPA’s management of the NYISO, PJM, ISO-NE and FERC relationship, and develops and
monitors the Fuel and Purchased Power budget.
The Power Markets 2015 operating costs are budgeted at $14.7 million. Fuel and Purchased power costs are budgeted
separately from the department’s operating budget. The budget is based on an organization consisting of 21 employees.
The Power Markets department is being created in 2015 by combining the functions of LIPA’s Power Supply Long Island
department with staff from PSEG Long Island in the areas of Resource Planning, Power Asset Management, and Nine Mile
Point 2 contract oversight. A s a result, there is no meaningful 2014 budget comparison.

PSEG Long Island – Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Program
This category of expense includes those programs designed to promote the efficient use of electric energy and the
development and expanded use of renewable energy technologies to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, with the goal of
delaying the need for additional generating capacity to serve customers during peak demand periods and investments in
T&D infrastructure to meet load growth in certain pockets of the electrical system. To accomplish its objectives, the
program relies on rebates and incentives to promote utilization of efficient equipment and other conservation measures as
well as the expansion of renewable technologies. The program also relies on industry and government-sponsored research
and development programs, including qualified program funding, and participation in related demonstration projects.
The 2015 budget is based on achieving a reduction of 70 MWs of peak demand, a 17% increase over the amount budgeted
in 2014, but at a lower net cost, primarily through the transition of the Long Island solar rebate program to the statewide
NYSERDA NY Sun program. The budget for the programs under the Efficiency & Renewables program is proposed at
$83.9 million, a decrease of $10.1 million, or 10.8%, from the approved level for 2014. The reduction reflects the
transition to NY Sun and does not include the solar PV rebates paid directly by NYSERDA for the installation of solar PV
on Long Island.
PSEG Long Island expects that the funding level proposed for 2015 will allow it to continue to achieve program goals. The
approved budget reflects programs in the Commercial and Industrial and Residential sectors that take advantage of costeffective approaches that appeal to customers.
Utility 2.0 programs are budgeted at approximately $2.0 million for program development and $13.3 million for program
implementation. An additional $3.9 million for Utility 2.0 AMI deployment is contained within the 2015 Capital Budget
(see schedule B-1). The review of the implementation budget will occur with recommendation by the Department of
Public Service and approval by the LIPA Board of Trustees. Utility 2.0 costs will be recovered from customers over the
period each program provides customer benefit.

Nine Mile Point 2 Expenses
This category relates to LIPA’s share of expenses incurred to operate and maintain the NMP2 nuclear generating station.
NMP2, of which LIPA owns an undivided 18% interest, is one of two nuclear units at the Nine Mile nuclear power station
located in Oswego, New York. The other 82% interest in NMP2 is owned by CNG, a nuclear generating company jointly
owned by Exelon Corporation and EDF. CNG is managed by Exelon Corporation. LIPA is responsible for 18% of all
operation, maintenance and capital expenditures related to NMP2 (see Schedule B-1 for budgeted capital expenditures.)
NMP2 O&M expenses are budgeted at $28.4 million, a decrease of 13.1% from the level budgeted for 2014, largely
reflecting the benefits of merger integration synergies at Exelon Corporation.

LIPA Operating Expenses
LIPA Operating Expenses are projected at $61.4 million. This represents a decrease of $22.3 million, or 26.6%, as
compared with the budgeted level for 2014.
The salaries and benefits budget of $10.1 million reflects a decrease in staffing from 50 to 40 positions with the transition
of power supply planning and contract management positions from LIPA to PSEG Long Island on January 1, 2015.
General and Administrative expenses, consisting of office rent, insurance and other administrative activities, are budgeted
at $5.5 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 17.9% from the approved 2014 level.
Professional Services, including engineering consulting, auditing, financial, legal, and grant administration activities, are
budgeted at $10.4 million. This represents a decrease of $7.4 million, or 41.5% from the budgeted level approved for 2014.
The lower budgeted level for 2015 is primarily due to the transition of power supply planning and contract management
responsibilities to PSEG Long Island and reimbursement from Federal grants and insurance proceeds for administrative
costs related to auditing and processing invoices and insurance claims related to Superstorm Sandy.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and Amortization is budgeted at $225.0 million, a decrease of 24.4% versus the budgeted expense level for
2014.
PSEG Long Island Managed Utility Depreciation, which consists primarily of transmission and distribution and
information technology assets, is budgeted at $107.7 million, a decrease of $51.1 million, or 32.2% from the approved level
for 2014. The lower expense reflects the adoption of depreciation rates from a depreciation study completed in 2014 that
more accurately reflects the estimated service lives of LIPA-owned electric utility assets. The depreciation rates are
consistent with the service lives approved by the New York Public Service Commission.
LIPA Depreciation and Amortization consists primarily of the amortization of the Acquisition Adjustment related to the
merger with the Long Island Lighting Company in 1998, which is budgeted at $111.4 million (consistent with the 2014
budget), and certain LIPA leasehold improvements referred to as LIPA Depreciation. LIPA Depreciation is budgeted to
decline from $23.3 million to $1.5 million. The lower budgeted expense level reflects the reclassification of transitionrelated capital expenditures from LIPA Depreciation to PSEG Long Island Managed Utility Depreciation.
Amortization of Deferred Transition Costs are budgeted at $4.5 million and reflect the amortization of certain costs
associated with the transition to PSEG Long Island as LIPA’s service provider. The cost is based on an amortization
period that corresponds to the 12 year term of the OSA.

Taxes, Payments-in-Lieu of Taxes and Assessments
Payments-In-Lieu of Taxes (“PILOTs”) and NYS assessments are budgeted at $549.1 million, or 15.3% of LIPA’s total
revenues. This reflects a decrease of $18.9 million, or 3.3%, compared to the 2014 budget. Taxes and Assessments are
provided for elsewhere in the budget are shown here to present a compilation of the non-discretionary costs imposed on
LIPA by the State, counties and local jurisdictions.
Revenue-based PILOTs are budgeted at $37.0 million, a decrease of 1.7% as compared with the approved level for 2014.
These PILOTs are based on gross revenues received from the sale of electricity and tax assessments on other sources of
revenues.
Property-based PILOTs are budgeted at $297.9 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 0.4%, as compared with the level
budgeted for 2014. The lower budgeted expense for 2015 is primarily attributable to a 2% cap in the increase in T&D
property based PILOTs allowable under the LIPA Reform Act.
Additionally, LIPA also incurs real property-based taxes associated with the generating assets under contract through the
PSA, which are included in Operating Expenses. These taxes are budgeted at $192.7 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, or
1.8% below the 2014 budget. LIPA continues to challenge the property tax assessments on the PSA plants, which are overassessed, to reduce this expense.
The budget for the New York State Temporary Energy and Utility Conservation Assessment is $21.3 million, a decrease of
$13.4 million, or 38.6% as compared to the 2014 budget. The lower budgeted expense level for 2015 reflects the continued
phase-out of this charge through 2017.

from FEMA for storm restoration as well as certain storm mitigation protective measures. Additionally, in February 2014,
LIPA signed a Letter of Undertaking (“LOU”) with FEMA that provides for $730 million of grant funding for storm
hardening measures. These grants are an offset to capital costs and are not reflected in the Operating Budget. $176.3
million is budgeted to be received from this LOU in 2015 (see schedule B-1).
The budget for Grant Income also includes:

Subsidy payments from the United States Treasury equal to 35% of the interest payable on LIPA’s debt issued as
Build America Bonds pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ($3.8 million).

Partial funding of costs associated with LIPA’s smart grid demonstration project ($1.6 million)

Grant to fund a portion of LIPA’s participation in an offshore wind study ($50,000).

2015 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
Interest Expense
Interest expense is budgeted at $367.0 million, an increase of $14.3 million, or 4%, as compared with the level budgeted
for 2014. The budgeted expense for 2015 is based on forecasted levels of outstanding debt, associated fees, and the
amortization of debt-related deferred charges and credits. The assumed rate of interest on the debt issues planned for
December 2014 range from 3.792% to 4.593% for fixed rate taxable and tax-exempt debt. Variable rate debt is budgeted at
0.75%-1.25%. Interest expense to be incurred on debt securities is detailed by issue on Schedule A-11. (Please note that
Schedule A-11 reflects interest expense related to debt securities. It does not include interest expense incurred on nondebt related liabilities such as customer deposits and overpayments.)
The budgeted expense level for 2015 reflects a long-term bond sale expected to occur in December 2014 and short-term
borrowing expected to occur during 2015. The average level of debt outstanding for 2015 is budgeted at $7.6 billion,
including the securitized debt issued in 2013. The effective interest rate is 4.9%. This debt outstanding and effective
interest cost compare with $7.6 billion and 4.7%, respectively, budgeted for 2014.
