4 Chairman'a Report . .

?

At the Omaha Public Power District, we continued to prepare for the future in j 1994 by aggressively addressing the changing emironment in which we operate -

and by taking care of our customers. Our success in both respects is reflected in some exceptional year-end dollars and cents figures. j OPPD experienced record net eamings of $52.1 million, which represents a 7.33 percent retum on equity. Total electric energy revenue was $403.5 million, an y l

i increase of 1.8 percent over 1993. Thanks to ongoing attention to cost-control, our operations and maintenance expenses for the year were $235.6 million - well below the original budget of $254 million.

l Our outstanding financial results for the year added up to good news for cus- <

tomers. The average price per kilowatt-hour for all retail customers was 5.66 cents, a A l decrease of 3.1 percent from the 1993 level. As a result, the cost of electricity for our Keith B. Edquist {

residential customers continued to be well below the national average, and new rate chainnano gthe$&wd,7NQ l packages for our commercial and industrial customers will help ensure quality service 'pI

for them at competitive prices.

Other good news included the sale of hiinibonds to Nebraska residents for the third year in a row. 0 PPD sold the Niinibonds in $200 and $500 denominations. This program has made OPPD bonds more affordable for a larger num-ber of customers while providing the utility with another source of interim financing.The popularity of this effort was apparent in the fact that the $ 10 million issue sold out in less than one week.

lower production costs overall enabled OPPD to return more than $13 million to customers last year through the Fuel and Production Cost Adjustment (FPA) on monthly senice bills. This brings the total to more than $51 milhon j i

that OPPD has returned to customers through the FPA over the last four years.

Smart purchases on the spot-coal market have played a significant role in lowering other production costs. Last year OPPD purchased 1.7 million tons of coal on the spot market at a savings of approximately $ 1.8 million compared to long-term coal supply contracts.

Additionally, nuclear fuel requirements for Fort Calhoun Station were met at a savings of $30 million from present comparable supply contracts.

From every point of view,1994 was a successful year, thanks to a strong management team, a competent work force and a professional Board of Directors. I thank Directors John K. Green, Dennis D.Jorgensen, Eugene T. Mahoney, Frederick J. Ulrich and Frank J. Wear for their dedication and senice in 1994. Past Directors MichaelJ. 0'Hara, Ph.D.,

and Gene P. Spence also should be commended for their contributions to the success of this utility. I congratulate and k>ok forward to working with our newly elected directors, MichaelJ. Cavanaugh and N. P. DodgeJr.,

in the years ahead.

As we build on our 1994 successes, we expect 1995 to be another outstanding year for this utility. Net eamings of

$43.9 million are anticipated, no long-term financing is planned, the debt ratio should drop to 52.5 percent by year-end, capital expenditures will decline, and the cost of electricity will remain stable.

In short, we'll continue as we have, attending to the requirements of our customers and to the bottom line of our financial statement. It's a balanced approach designed to help ensure reliable, affordable senice in 1995 and beyond.

6 Presidentb Report -

! The Omaha Public Power District has ahvays had a competitive nature. Since l

1946, when OPPD was formed, this utility has been challenged by everything from tomadoes and floods to national energy crises. Our competitive nature - the q ' ,i desire to always do better than we did before- has enabled us to meet such chal- a. .

lenges successfully. . Y.

Today, another type of challenge is developing - that of increasing competition p within the utility industry. As always, we intend to succeed in this changing busi-ness climate by providing our customers with top-quality service at competitive Y '

l -

prices. That commitment to success was the prime mover for our efforts in 1994, and our customers are already seeing the benefits.

OPPD continued to provide low-cost electricity to our customers in 1994. At the l _

l same time, we pursued efforts to promote energy efficiency and meet the needs of Fred M. Petersen l customers through a series of significant rate actions. President,ChiefExemtive otticer Rate schedules for our largest commercial and industrial customers were revised in June, and the net result was a rate reduction of $3.2 million. later in the year, we implemented rate reductions amounting to 57.5 million for most other commercial and industrial customers. We took the opportunity with these revisions to send the important message that we are serious in our efforts to provide low-cost electricity to our cus-tomers - especially those which use energy the most efficiently.

These reductions were funded in a very straightfonvard manner - through aggressive cost containment measures in all areas of our organization. In late 1993, we initiated a detailed look at our entire operation in an effort to identify cost reduction opportunities. We've seen repeatedly how the ingenuity and ability of our employees succeeds in meet-ing tough challenges, so all employees were asked to provide input into the process. Almost all did, and in July 1994, the task force responsible for overseeing the project presented 760 recommendations for reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

Many recommendations identified improvements in planning and scheduling, particularly where multiple work groups are involved. 0thers called for more focused and effective maintenance. One particularly good example deals with the use of new technology and tracking methods to identify specific sections of underground power cable which may be caming widespread ser ice problems. Instead of replacing entire sections of cable, as we've had to do in the past, we'll be able to target the faulty cable and make faster, more economical repairs. This and hundreds of other cost-containment recommendations are being implemented now, or will soon be.

All projects are scheduled for completion by 1997 and, when finished, we estimate these efforts will reduce our i

( operating costs by nearly 570 million over the next few years. We're already seeing some very satisfying early results. )

Most notably,1994 expenditures were 542 million under the original budget, and total expenditures were the lowest since 1988. The Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Station achieved its lowest production costs since 1988, as well, while set-ting a 12-month generation record for the period that ended December 31,1994.

There were many other success stories last year, but the bottom line is that OPPD's competitive nature again benefitted customers and the utility alike. We will work to be better than we've been, and we'll work to be better than any of the competition we may someday encounter. That desire to be the best has always worked well for OPPD customer-owners, and it will continue to do so.

  • OPPD employees viewed 1994 as a year of opportunity.This was OPPD's year to streamline operations and toughen up -

wherever necessary- because the increased industry competition that people had been hearing so much about in recent years became increasingly apparent. What the industry will look like in the coming years is still uncleat What is crystal clear, however, is that in 1994 OPPD continued to position itself to meet the competition headon.

i As OPPD nears its 50th year of operation in 1996, employees realize what has worked well in the past may not be the best j solution for the future. The company's traditions of providing reliable senice by listening to its customers, watching its

]

costs and striving for excellence will prmide a strong base for the coming years. j l

l OPPD employees have a good handle on the situation, and they are working together to control the company's course.

l The teamwork displayed throughout 1994 proves that employees understand what increased competition could mean.

For example, when Cargill announced it would build a new 30 megawatt com-processing plant south of B! air, Neb.,

i OPPD employm teamed up to help this new customer meet its fast track schedule. Employees from nine OPPD divisions l formed "the Cargill Update Team," meeting monthly- with subgroups meeting more frequently- to pull together pieces of this project. Employees pooled their resources to help complete OPPD's portion of work ahead of schedule and under i budget.

One aspect of the Cargill project was the construction of the 161-kilovolt Fort Calhoun transmission line. This line was l l built to allow senice connection to the Cargill plant, to provide redundant senice to Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Station l and to enhance senice to customers in the area.

{ in addition to such major efforts, OPPD also continued to L focus on quality work in its day-to day operations. Employees i

I and contractors rebuilt more than 100 miles of overhead rural O '

distribution line, installed more than 80 miles of backbone cable <

$ e a a in new underground residential developments (URD) and  !

j replaced over 20 miles of aging and poorly performing URD j 4

! Building new lines and repairing existing ones were two of l many ways OPPD maintained the reliability of its system during 1994. In addition, a team of employees analyzed the company's l ,

'i senice restoration process to find ways to eliminate redundan-l

  1. cies and speed up future efforts, particularly after large storms.

Another team was formed to update and improve OPPD's trans-  ;

i mission and distribution senice delivery system. With efforts such as these, OPPD achieved its strategic goal of 99.98 percent b '

l l L Power plants play their role i

Thanks to hard work and diligence, Nebraska City Power Station, one of OPPD's two coal-fired plants, l

( was among the 10 lowest cost steam / electric generat- S, I ing units in the United States for the fourth consecu-

~ MN tive year. Also, a scheduled 10-week outage at this 3

plant wascompleted two weeks early.

There also was excellent performance at OPPD's l Fort Calhoun Station, based on assessments by the F' l j Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the j

! Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). In the  !

j NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance ,e (SALP) Report for Fort Calhoun Station, OPPD mg;w & Q received superior-level " category 1" ratings in the Emp5ees constructed a new underground vIuit to servUouth Oma l functional areas of engineering and plant support.

OPPD received good-level " category 2" ratings for plant operations and maintenance.The report was based on what the NRC saw in thousands of hours of routine and special inspections during an 18-month period ending in July 1994.The 1994 INPO evaluation of Fort Calhoun Station resulted in one of the best reports this organization has given Fort Calhoun Station. During its review of plant operations, INPO identified more strengths than ever before.

All the while, OPPD employees in the plants and elsewhere continued to follow safe work practices. In 1994, recordable l

injuries decreased by 28 percent from 1993. In addition, some work groups have earned impressive safety records.

Employees in Fort Calhoun Station's radiation protection and chemistry departments completed more than 20 years with-out a lost time injury. Central Maintenance electrical and instrument & control employees surpassed the 10-year mark with-

. out a lost. time accident during 1994.

North Omaha Power Station - 0 PPD's oldest power plant - marked its 40th birthday in July. 0 PPD celebrated by unveiling additions and improvements that will help plant operations run efficiently well into the next century. A i 56.3 million addition and renovation project provided needed relief in the office area, shops, laboratories and warehouse. A 1 fong-term lighting project in the plant got under way invohing replacement of old light fixtures with high-pressure sodium and other high<fficiency lighting. Brightness in the turbine room alone increased by 30 percent, with a 40 percent drop in

, energy use.

ingyears.The spent-fuelpool stores used nuclear fuel. The new racks increase the pool's storage capacity, providing enough space to store all of the spent fuel that will be discharged through the year 2006.

Challenges stimulateemployees Employee ingenuity has been one of OPPD's strong suits over the years, as 1994 demonstrated. For example, engineering personnel developed a new design for the power distribution system that will improve service reliability to Eppley Airfield, a vital link for OPPD customers and other travellers passing through Omaha.

Saving time and money were the impetus of a project in OPPD storerooms, which house thousands of spare parts for maintenance of power lines, power plants and related equipment. Tighter control of inventory levels and less-frequent inventory counts are giving storeroom personnel .nore time to tend to other business. The standard stores inventory level was reduced from a high of $11 million in 1992 to $3 million in 1994, and the material availability rate for 1994 was 99.98 percent.

Employees also teduced costs and improved operations by tapping into the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) tech-nological database. For instance, employees used an EPRI computer program to help analyze supply. side options in the inte-grated resource planning process. By using this program, they significantly reduced costs for work related to construction of

provide additional peaking power during the hottest days of summer, is expected in spring 1991

Community involvement remains a priority OPPD demonstrated its commitment to emironmental considerations in several ways last year.

Continuous Emissions Monitoring (CEM) systems were installed at Nebraska City and North Omaha stations.These CEM units, which the Gean Air Act of 1990 required to be installed byJan.1,1995, monitor and analyze regulated airbome emissions from the stations.

The utility also stepped up its companywide recycling efforts during 1994. In addition to recycling paper, programs 1

11 l have been put in place to recycle scrap metals, transformer oil and other

items. 0ther things, such as excess chemicals or inventory parts, are being j retumed tovendors when practical.

The Residential Energy Conservation Program (RECP), which promotes energy efficiency by encouraging homeowners to use high<fficiency heat-ing and cooling equipment, saw continued success. More than 8600 PPD 2

customers installed high efficiency electric heat pumps during 1994, a l M percent increase over the same period in 1993. This will help 0 PPD make better use of existing generating facilities in 1995 and beyond.

j OPPD's Tree Promotion Program received recognition from two national f

l emironmental organizations. The program encourages the planting of %3 trees for improved energy efficiency, and it educates the public about the M 4

l proper selection, placement and care of trees - especially near power lines.

l In 1994, OPPD sponsored 39 tree planting projects, which involved a total $

12 Financing . .

In December 1946, the Omaha Public Power District funded the purchase of Tne Nebraska Power Company with a bank loan for $42,000,000. Revenue bonds were issued in February 1947 to pay off this loan. Since then, $2,735,990,000 of additional bonds have been sold.

The District retired $23,550,000 of revenue bonds in 1994. These retirements bring the total of bonds redeemed and refunded through 1994 to $1,803,480,000, leaving outstanding bonds of $974,510,000 at December 31,1994. During 1994, $50,194,000 of interest expense was charged to operations on outstanding gy -. myy,mmy g '^

. Independent Auditors' Report 13 Omaha Public Power District:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Omaha Public Power District as of December 31,1994 and 1993, and the related statements of net eamings and accumulated earnings reinvested in the business and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial state-ments based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclo-sures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Omaha Public Power District as of December 31,1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1994, in conformity with generally accepted account-ing principles.  !

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the District's 1993 financial statements reflect the effects of changes in estimates in depreciation, decommissioning expense, and allocation of certain costs to utility plant as a result of the District's 1993 Depreciation Study, the five-year extension of the operating license of the Fort Calhoun  !

St* ion, and the refinement of cost allocations. I i
