Crystal River Plant, Unit.f3
{
Docket #50-302.
Dear Dr. Morris:
i l
On. February 14, 1968, Florida Power filed a request to begin construction
. activities in connection with its Crystal River Nuclear Generating Plant j.
Unit #3 - Docket 50-302.
]
Confirming the conversations recently with members of-your staff we are pleased to supplement our original request with the following system j
generating capability and operating reserve data.
~
k
~
An analysis of Florida Power Corporation's additional. generation require-
=
j ments showed a need in 1970 and 1971. This need was met by the purchase of 200 mw of capacity from a neighboring utility for these two years. This 2
}
purchase delayed the need for Florida Power Corporation'to install genera-f tion' capacity..The summer period peak load in 1972 is expected to be 1861 mw, and the winter period peak load-in 1972 is expected 'to be 1899 mw.
l 1
Florida Power Corporation's generation capability during these periods, l
g.
exclusive of Crystal River Unit' #3,.will be 2065 mw.
This leaves a capacity
/ !g/* margin of.204.mw during the summer period of~1972 and 166 mw during the j
4 winter period of 1972..
J i
.These installed capacity margins are less than the operating reserves-that are required for reliable operation, thus leaving no margin for maintenance i
outages, forced outages or forecast errors. In order to maintain a minimum
. reliability'of service standard, additional generation capacity must be added to Florida Power Corporation's' system prior to the summer of 1972.
Thus,--
the installation of C.ystal. River Unit #3 in April 1972 is of. vital importance
'to:the reliability of Florida Power Corporation's system.
