Dear Mr. Rogers:

It he.s come to my attention that an inconsistency was inadvertently included in the tabulation on page 2 of my letter to you dated January 13, 1972, regarding the projected capacity-load-reserve margin situation that may obtain on the Duke Power Company system with and without the capacity e:cpected from the Oconee No. 1 nuclear fueled unit.

The Cliffside No. 5, 390 megawatt, fossil fueled unit of the Duke Power Company was included in the net capability of the Virginia-Carolina Subregion, but not in the net capability of the Duke Power Company. Initial information had indicated that this unit was scheduled for commercial operation in April 1972, and thus would aid in meeting the 1972 summer peak load. Subsequent information indicated that the commercial operation of this unit in time for the 1972 summer peak was unlikely, and it was therefore not included in the net capability of the Duke Power Company. Please subtract this 590 megawatts of capacity from the net capability of the Virginia-Carolina Subregion for this period. This reduces the projected subregion reserves to 1,042 mega-watts (5.1 percent) without Oconee No. 1 and to 1,928 megawatts (9.4 percent) with Oconee No. 1.

This makes the impact of the absence of the Oconee No.1 unit on the reserve margin situation of the subregion even greater than initially indicated.

Since the January 13, 1972 date of my letter, a further note of concern has been observed. There is increasing likelihood that the Surry No.1 unit of the Virginia Electric and Power Company will not be in commercial operation at the time of the 1972 summer peak.

If this should be the case, the subregion's reserve margin would be further reduced to 222 megawatts without Oconee No. I and to 1,108 megawatts with Oconee No.1.

Very truly yours, T. A. Phillips Chief, Bureau of Power 7N 5 ;-
