Dear Mr. Denton :
/
This is to advise that owing to financing constraints, we ~
have determined that it will be necessary to delay the in-service dams of five of the Company's planned generating units, including Allens Creek Nuclear Generating Station. Our revised schedule for Allens Creek calls for start-up in March 1991.
Under our new schedule, construction start would not be delayed; rather the overall construction would be stretched out to ease financing requirements.
We are hopeful that a program of load management will be effective in reducing peak demand to levels which can be reliably served with the reduced installed capacity associated with the new plan.
We urge your continued assistance in helping to meet our original date for the beginning of construction in 1982.
If we fail to start construction in 1982, we will lose the financing tane-fits from the stretched-out schedule, and the flexibility to accelerate construction if load management is unsuccessful. Additionally, we may also suffer attrition in the staff we have developed in antici-pation of the etart of construction in 1982.
l l-Your continued timely IIcensing support will be greatly appreciated.

i-Yours very truly, o
