ENCLOSURE REQUEST FOR INFORMATION V0GTLE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. UNITS.1'& 2 DOCKET NOS: 50-424 AND 50-425 1.
Provide the following information for the Vogtle station:
The scheduled on-line commercial operating dates for each Vogtle a-unit and your expectations for meeting these dates.
b-The latest of ficial capital cost estimate for the plant The total expenditures to date, broken down intc the classifications c-of:
(1) construction expenses at the site; (2) purchases of plant components and equipment; (3) engineering, licensing, and regulatory expenses; and (4) all other expenses.
Indicate those elements of the total cost to date that would not be recovered if construction of the Vogtle facility is halted.
d-Estimates of the fuel, and operation and maintenance costs for the first year of operation of each unit, expressed in 1980 and current (as of ist year of operation) dollars. Indicate all underlying assumptions.
l 2.
For the year 1980 to date, show by fuel type (i.e., coal, oil, gas, nuclear, hydro,etc.) the Mwh's of electrical energy generated by each fuel to meet Georgia territorial energy requirements.
l 3.
Provide Georgia territorial system's peak load demand and energy sales for the years 1973 through 1980. For 1980, provide the actual energy sales plus the projected sales for the remainder of the year.
4.
Provide the latest official projections relevant to the Georgia territorial system of:
(a) annual peak demand; (b) energy sales; (c) capacity at time of system peak; (d) firm and non-firm sales and purchases; and (e) the resulting system reserve margin for the years 1981 until five years after the last Vogtle unit is scheduled to come on-linea. In responding, indicate the annual adjustments to the system peak demand.and capacity due to scheduled outside purchases and sales.

Indicate all planned capacity changes on the Georgia territorial system, including changes in ratings, retirements, and additions from 1980 to For all units five years after the last Vogtle unit is due on-line.
scheduled to be added, indicate the status of construction along the following or similar lines:
The early planning stage at which the site and energy source has not a-yet been identified.
b-The plant site is known and engineering design for the plant has begun but no construction has started.
(Provide an estimate of the dollar spent for each plant in this category).
The plant is currently under construction.
Indicate the percentage c-completion of the plant and provide an estimate of the dollars spent for each plant in this category.
6.
Provide an estimate of the current and projected reserve margin requirements needed to maintain minimum system reliability, including the basis for your estimates.
If the need for the Vogtle plant in the time frame proposed is based 7.
upon factors other than reliability (e.g., a need for baseload capacity, fuel substitution, fuel diversity, economic considerations, etc.),
please provide a discussion as to how such factors provide a basis for this need.
8.
List and discuss the status of all efforts to purchase or sell electrical power between the Georgia Power Company and other electrical generating utilities. Describe the contracts in effect and under negotiation.
