AZEIDAy1T I, RICHARD A. NAATZ, being first duly sworn on oath, depose and t
state that the following is true to the best of my knowledge and e
belief:
1.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical-Engineering and am a registered professional engineer in the State of Illinois.
I have been employed by Commonwealth Edisoit Company since 1950 in various planning capacities.
At present, I am a Se2 tion Engineer.in the System Planning Department of Commonwealth Ldison and have responsibility for planning the generating capacity for the system.
In this capacity,-I am familiar with the generating capabilities of all of the units on the Commonwealth Edison system, their heat rates, fuel costs and capacity factors.
I am also familiar with the trans-mission system of Commonwealth Edison and its interconnected neighbors.
2.
Taking into consideration operating experience with Dresden Unit 1, maintenance plans and technical specification limits and evaluating the company's load and capacity forecasts for 1978, it
-is our judgment that Dresden Unit 1 would be expected to operate'at an average capacity factor of 60 percent for the period of. January 1,
-1978, through August-31,_1978._ Unavailability of Dresden Unit 1 would, therefore', represent a loss of energy of about_7.3 x 108 8_01008'07)f
r~ '
- 25 (f) kilowatthours for this period.
Based on a fuel differential of 10.8 mills /kilowatthour, this replacement energy would cost about
$8,000,000.-
Our production cost.model,has indicated that this replacement
-energy-would.be made up from the following types of units:
3% nuclear units; 18% high sulfur coal units; 58% low sulfur coal units:
14% oil cycling units; and 7% oil peaking units.
This is a conser-vative estimate and, therefore, the costs are at the minimum end of the scale.
If the entire amount of energy had to be replaced by fast-start peaking units, it would require about 8.3 x 107 gallons of #2 oil and the cost of the energy would be increased to $26,000,000 based on a, fuel. differential of 35 mills /kilowatthour.
