Over its tenure "of operation, have had the opportunity jo tour the facilities. On'these occasions I have had conversations with the staff about Monticello's operations; plant safety; training and certification; and their emplo'ymentin general; Generally, everyone was well trained and y'r professional.
- In'my twenty five yearsof utility'expnrienbe I haveexpe'rienced the evolution of electrical generation and eniergy marketing; Our quaiity'of life is built upon having an.
adequate and economical supply of electricity for'all of our coinunities'. Regardless of if we receive our electric energy directly'from this plant or not,-we need the Monticello
-Nucargeneration plant to be-a partof the base loa su pp.lgrid for the growing needs l
ofthis area..
as It is for these reasohs, that I personally support the renewal of Xcel Energy request to'.,-
extend the operating liHenise6bf the Monticello Nuclear' Generiating Plant's license to
- operate until 2030.
