Subject:

TYRONE ENERGY PARK E-7470 Docket No. STN 50-484 Dear Mr Denton In a letter dated October 2,1978 from counsel for the Permittees to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board for the Tyrone Project, the revision uf the scheduled commercial operation date for the pro-ject from April 1985 to April 1986 was announced. Subsequently, the NRC staff has asked that the financial qualifications data which had been transmitted in support of Permittee's Request for Amendment to the Construction Permit be updated to be consistent with the new scheaule. This letter transmits information in response to that request.

Attachment 1 comprises revised pages A-6 through A-17 to Exhibit A to the Request for Amendment which was previously provided as an attachment to a letter, NLNRC-86, dated August 25, 1978.

Attachment 2 comprises supplemental information to that provided in a letter, NLNRC-80, dated April 20, 1978. This supplemental infor-mation is more recent than that provided in NLNRC-80, Attachments A-3, A-6, and A-8. The information in Attachments A-1, A-2, A-4, A-5, A-7, and B to that letter is still current.

Pursuant to condition 3.D of the construction permit, copies of the executed loan commitments for Dairyland Power Cooperative and Cooper-ative Power Association were provided on February 23, 1978 by letter Y#

4 7902230/63- 6

NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY Page Two February 19, 1979 Mr H R Denton from J Silberg, counsel for the Applicants, to E G Cr.se. That loan commitment is unaffected by this request for amendment and is considered to be adequate for the alent and associated transmission given the plant cost estimate shown on pages A-8 and A-9 of Attachment 1 to this letter.

Yours very truly Q. . 4

, . Exhibit A FINANCIAL QUALIFICATIONS

Introduction:

The amendment requested herein ref1cets the transfer of the ownership of 31.1 percent of Tyrone Energy Park of Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin). The total Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin) share of the facility is now 67.6 percent. The current total facility cost estimate is provided as Table 1, Sheets 1 and 2. Financial information is provided for Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin) and Lake Superior District Power Company, based upon this estimated facility cost.

Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin)

Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin), is a public utility as defined in 196.01, Wisconsin Statutes operating as an electric and gas utility in Wisconsin; it serves generally in the northwestern portion of the state. The Company serves approximately 132,000 retail electric customers. Eleven municipally owned electric utilities and 30,000 gas customers. Common stock of Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin) is wholly owned by Northern States Power Company (Minnesota), whose general offices are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin) had investment of approximately $200 million of net utility plant and 675 employees as of December 31, 1978. In 1978, approximately 86 percent of the company's revenue of $135 million was derived from electric operations and 14 percent trom its gas operation.

It is estimated that over the next 10 years, $1.2 billion will be spent for con-struction of new facilities. An estimated $.4 billion will be spent from 1978 through 1982 and S.8 billion from 1983 through 1987. About 35 to 40 percent of the first $.4 billion and 70 to 75 percent of the next S.8 billion is expected to be generated internally. Of the external financing required, Northern States Power Company (Minnesota) will provide approximately 10 percent through purcF se of common stock. Sixty-four percent of the expenditures through 1987 are on the Tyrone Energy Park plant and 17 percent on nuclear fuel.

Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northern States Power Company (Minnesota). The coordinated agreement between the companies provides for, among other things, the sharing of the costs of owning and operating generating facilities of the two companies. Fixed costs such as those related to the construction of Tyrone Unit I are shared between the companies based upon the ration of coincident company peak demands. Also shared are operating expenses and post operating expenses. Northern States Power Company (Minnesota) will purchase additional shares of common stock of Northern States Power Company (Uisconsin) as part of the overall financial plan for Tyrone Unit I.

Northern States Power Company (Minnesota)

Northern States Power Company (Minnesota), is predominantly an operating public utility engaged in the generating, transmission, and distribution of electricity throughout a 40,000 square mile area and the distribution of gas in 78 communities within this area. The Coupany also supplies some heating and telephone services.

February 19, 1979 A-6

The consolidated Northern States Power Company (Minnesota) and Northern States Power Company (Wicconsin) investment in net utility plant is $2.2 billion and 6,508 benefit employees serve customers in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and by Northern States Power Company in Wisconsin. Of approximately three million people in the Northern States Power Company (Minnesota) and Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin) service area, 59 percent are concentrated in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. In 1978, about 66 percent of Northern States Power Company (Minnesota) and Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin) $680 million of retail electric revenue was derived from sales 11. the Twin Cities Metro Area and about 62 percent of 157.8 million of gas retail revenue from sales in the St. Paul area.

It is estimated that over the next 10 years, $5.1 billion will be spent for con-struction of new facilities to serve the customers of Northern States Power Company (Minnesota) and Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin). An estimated 2.0 billion will be spent from 19'i9 through 1983 and $3.1 billion from 1984 through 1988. About 55 percent of the $2.0 billion and 70 percent of the the $3.1 billion is expected to be generated internally.

The ratio of internal funds to construction expenditures is significantly better than the industry average. This results from being normalizing companies and from calculating depreciation rates on a realistic basis. In addition, because Northern States Power Company (Minnesota) has contracted for 500 megawatts of firm capacity f rou Manitoba Hydro Electric in Canada in 1980, no major generating units will be added to the systen between 1979 and 1983.

Northern States Power Company is favorably regarded by the fir.ancial community because of its diversified, stable service arca; heavy reliance on coal and nuclear Ceneration; good fuel supplies; and favorable internal cash generation.

Sutmary:

Table 2, Shect 1, 2, and 3 provide source of funds for construction expenditures information for Northern States Power Company (Wisconsin) . Table 3, Sheets 1, 2, and 3 provides that aame information for Northern States Power Company (Minnesota).

Table 4, Sheets 1 and 2 provides that same information for Lake Superior District Power Company. Dairyland Power Cooperative and Cooperative Power Association have recently received loan cor.mitments f rom the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) for their shares of T jrene Energy Park Unit I.

The information provided herein indicates the capability of the owners to support the construction c,f Tyrone Energy Park Unit I. In light of the financial respon-sibility by Northern States Power Company (Minnesota) for construction expenditures by Northern States Power Ccapany (Wisconsin) as described previously, the basis on which the NRC found that owners of Tyrone Unit I are financially qualified to constroet that unit is unchanged.
