TO QUR STOCKHOLDERS We achieved a moderate improvement in our earnings in 1979, as they reached 52.00 per common share compared to $1.89 per share in the prior year.

~

A portion of this 6% rise can be attributed to.a $16.2-million annual rate adjustment approved by the N.Y. State Public Service Commission and put into effect during the first quarter. Despite this modest increase, double-digitinflation again continued to overwhelm our strongest cost control efforts and we were compelled to pursue further. rate improvement.

In April 1979, we filed for electric and natural gas rate increases of $ 180.1 million. The Commission's decision was expected as this report neared publication. As in previous years, we shall continue to file for increased rates whenever the need arises-not only to preside you with a fair retum on your investment as a stockholder but to maintain the reliable, efficient energy serices which our consumers expect.

During the year, electric sales increased 2.9% while gas sales dccreased 1.4% due to warmer than normal weather.

Presently, our best forecasts indicate that Niagara Mohawk's annual electric growth rate into the 1990s will be only about half that projected from the early 1970s, before OPEC's oil embargo, inflation and the general economic slowdown which has hurt N.Y. State and our service area. Even with the reduced prospects we must plan and construct new generation and related electric facilities to meet the energy requirements of our consumers, whatever the future may hold.

To that end, Unit No. 6 at our Oswego Steam Station produced its first electricity in 1979. This jointly owned 850,000-kilowatt addition to our diverse generation mix will help lower requirements for purchased power at peak load periods and improve reliability through expansion of our power reserve margin.

We anticipate announcement soon of the final Master Energy Plan for New York State, administered by the State Energy Office.This long-awaitec blueprint will have a significant future bearing on Niagara Mohawk, particularly on scheduling and siting of generation and transmission projects. Its treatment of proposed nuclear-electric units should be especially relevant to us in the years ahead.

Our commitment to nuclear technology is no less firm today than i before events at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant. Three Mile Island has strengthened our dedication and motivation to advance nuclear power) well-established safety and performance record to as close to perfection as humanly possible. Some of these efforts are discussed in detail on page 7.

Total project completion of the jointly owned Nine Mile Point Nuclear Unit No. 2 reached the halfway mark in 1979. However, because of regulatory uncertainties affecting the nuclear industry and possible modifications required in the construction and operation of nuclear plants, <

we are in the process of revising our entire construction schedule for completion of the plant in 1986. This two-year extensiori will accommodate l necessary modifications to the reactor's containment and radiation protection structures. further geological studies and new requirements l expected from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission arising from the Three l 2

Generation Siting disallowing construction of the proposed Sterling Nuclear Station came to us as a severe disappointment. Sterling's design

> was part of the Standardized Nuclear (.! nit Power Plant System Program Jonn G. Haehl,Jr' believe this project, of which Niagara Mohawk owned 22%, would have been totally compatible with the environment. Moreover, it would have provided significant economic benefits for upstate New York consumers besides reducing foreign-cil dependence and helping to assure stable energy supply in the decades ahead. Together with the co-owners, we have filed with the Public Service Commission to recover our investment in the Sterling project.

In a similar vein, references appear throughout this report to other

! difficulties and costly delays stemming from regulatory influences over

! every facet of our business. Of particular note are some of the barriers we must clear to expand our hydroelectric capacity on waterways ir :ur system, discussed on page 8.

Financing during the yearinclude1 the public sale of 3.5 million shares of common stock and issuance of $100 million of 25-year mortgage bonds. Financing requirements for 1980 are expected to exceed

$270 million, including receipts from common stock sales through our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and the Employee Savings Fund Ptar. Construction needs and refunding of $80 million of 30-year bonds will make 1980 a heavy financing year.

The proposal of the Town of Massena to acquire by condemnation major parts of our electric distribution system in Massena remains undecided as various courts and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission consider matters in the case.

i We value the loyalty of our employees and stockholders more than ever as we enter the decade of the Eighties.Your continuing support is l deeply appreciated.
