License Renewal of We Energies Point Beach Nuclear Plant Ct

Dear Sir or Madam:

The Wisconsin Underground Contractors Association (WUCA) supports We Energies License Renewal of Point Beach.

We believe as the demand for safe, reliable and affordable energy in our state continues to grow, nuclear power must remain a component to meeting our power supply needs.

Point Beach Nuclear plant contributes to the fuel diversity energy mix by providing approximately 24% of the energy generated by We Energies, and we must maintain this diverse mix if we are to have affordable energy prices in the future. Further, Point Beach plant will save customers approximately $474 million in today's dollars compared to other replacement options.

Lastly, the Poirit'Beach Nuclear Plant provides 700 family supporting jobs in addition to other significant economic benefits to the State of Wisconsin and the local economy.

We appreciate the opportunity to provide input to you on this critical issue.

incerely, Fhard04k
