- I. INTRODUCTION l 1 The United States General Accounting Office (GAO) issued a report in 1980 which examined (and was entitled) the "Eco-1 nomic Impact of Closing the Indian Point Nuclear Facility."  !

The electric production cost impacts of a shutdown of the 4

Indian Point nucicar units which were tabulated in that re-I port were obtained from simulations performed using the

\,'

- General Electric Company's (GE ) Multi-Area Production Simula-4 tion Program (MAPS).

(, Since the 1980 study, changes have been made both to the

, i inputs to the model and to the model itself. GE has made changes that attempt to more accurately simulate actual system operations. These include program logic changes to imp' rove the modeling of pumped storage and Canadian economy 4

energy allocations, cost reconstructions and unit commit-N ments. In addition, since the earlier simulations did not

! adequately implement the logic for' simulating generating capacity which "must run" for area security purposes, this component of the model was modified as well.

New York Power Pool, generally higher levels of transmission transfer capability across key interfaces, simulation of higher sulfur oil burning at Arthur Kill Units 2 and 3 and Ravenswood 3 prior to coal conversion, and lower NYPP load forecasts. Short term operation and maintenance expenses following a cessation of operations at Indiar Point have been excluded, since these are not readily quantifiable at this time.

The results of the new production simulations are presented in this report.

II. GENERAL RESULTS OF STUDIES The principal results of the new study of higher costs to electric consumers which would occur after a shutdown of Indian Point as determined by the revised electric production

cost simulations are discussed below. The full results are discussed in more detail in Section V.

l A. Annual Electric Production Cost Increase of a Shutdown of Indian Point

1. The increased electric production cost to consumers in the Con Edison service area for the calendar year 1983, including inventory and working capital l

costs and taxes, is estimated to be S555 million.

2. Because of assumed escalation of fuel costs, the annual electric production cost increase incurred by consumers in the Con Edison service area, including

inventory and working capital costs and taxes, would increase to greater than Sl.1 billion by 1990 and to

greater than S3.6 billion by 2000.
3. The electric production cost increase to New York State consumers as a whole would be similar to Con Edison service area increases with some variation i

from year to year depending on the changes in levels of economy energy transactions.

B. Sources of Replacement Energy for Indian Point Shutdown

1. More than 94 percent of the replacement energy would f

be generated by oil-fired generating units in 1983.

This would increase the-oil consumption in New York State by approximately 15.8 million barrels.

2. In 1983, approximately 40 percent of the additional oil consumed in the State would be residual oil burned f

in generating units owned by Con Edison and the Power i Authority.

III. STUDY METHODOLOGY A. Production Cost Program The computer program used to simulate the annual l

electric production cost impact of a shutdown of i the Ir. 'an Point units for the 1983-2000 study period was the GE Multi-Area Production Simulation Program (MAPS). MAPS simulates the actual opera-tion of the New York Power Pool (NYPP) electric [

generation system subject to transmission constraints under different assumptions of system conditions and unit availabilities. MAPS defines eleven load areas and ten separate transmission interfaces throughout the L~ ate. Transmission restrictions, based on transmission analysis, are defined so as to real-istically limit the flow of power from one area of the State to another. Each area is defined by its own bi-hourly load model and generating units.

Individual company ownership of generating units as weil as joint ownership of some units are denoted.

Generating units are represented by up to three loading segments, each with an incremental heat. rate.

The units are also represented by sustained ratings, historical forced and partial outages rates, and maintenance periods / "Must run" segments of gener-ating units as well as cycling abilities are also

~

represented. Fuel and operating costs are defined for each generating unit. Provision is also made for NYPP purchases of firm and economy power from Canadian sources.

Subject to transmission limits, MAPS " dispatches" generating units throughout the state in order of increasing costs and recognizing reliability A

- constraints much as the NYPP system operator and the individual system operators do in real time.

MAPS is regularly utilized by Con Edison and other members of the NYPP for planning studies. The optional component of MAPS which reconstructs NYPP billing procedures for interutility purchases and sales was included so that production costs applicable to a given company were determined.

By virtue of this feature the benefits of economy energy exchanges in NYPP were considered. No distinction is made between PASNY and Con Edison within the Con Edison service area, although impacts on the two companies' customers could be significantly different.

Transmission transfer limits used in the program are the " normal limits" and assume all lines once in service are continuously available throughout the entire simulation period. This assumption tends to underestimate electric production cost increases which would result from a shutdown of Indian Point since in actuality transmission outages reduce transfer limits and the ability to replace genera-tion in Con Edison's Service Area.

l B. Scenario Studied Production cost simulations were performed for the study period 1983 through 2000, to determine electric production expenses with and without the Indian Point units in service.

C. Elements of Electric Production Cost Increases l The direct increases in electric production cost as a result of a shutdown of the Indian Point units were calculated by comparing differences in electric production costs with and without the Indian Point units in service. These direct electric production cost increases include changes in costs of operation of units in the Con Edison service area and the NYPP, as well as changes in costs of Canadian economy energy which is priced (in part ) on an avoided cost basis.

In addition to the annual direct electric production cost increases, inventory and working capital expenses as a result of additional residual oil requirements for Con Edison and PASNY in the service area were calculated. Gross revenue tax and sales tax were also considered to arrive at a total annual electric pro-duction increase.

IV. STUDY ASSUMPTIONS The Key assumptions made in the study are discussed below.

. A. NYPP Generation Expansion Plans Generation expansion plans for the State have been modeled in accordance with the plans presented by NYPP in its April 1, 1981 " Report of Member Electric Systems of the New York Power Pool Pursuant to Section 5-112 of the Energy Law of the State of New York."

B. Indian Point Availability Factor After consideration of required maintenance periods and partial and full forced outages, the Indian Point

! Units are assumed to have an annual capacity factor of

! 69 percent for each year of the study period. This 4

capacity factor is the same as that used by NYPP in long

! range planning studies. Analysis by the S.M. Stoller Corporation of historical data for Westinghouse PWR units 4

l indicates approximately this capacity factor after the first cycle and refueling. .

C. Fuel Prices The price of 0.3 percent sulfur oil assumed in the study was a starting price of S37.26 per barrel in 1982 including the 4 percent fuel use tax for fuel purchased in New York City. This fuel price was based on the ICF, Inc. estimates of long term prices contained in

.its February 1982 report proposed for use by members of of NYPP. ICF prices assumed for higher sulfur content oils were lower. ICF real price escalation on oil varied from i

1.9 percent to 2.6 percent per year above ICF inflation

. rates over the study period for the different sulfur content residual oils burned by NYPP member units.

1 ICF inflation rates which were used were 8.0 percent for 1983-85, 7.5 percent for 1986-90, 7.0 percent for 1991-95, and 6.5 percent for 1996-2000.

, Con Edison estimated coal prices for Ravenswood 3 in i

1982 is S2.73/MMBTU which is based on bids in hand.

Arthur Kill Units 2 and 3 coal prices will be somewhat lower due to lower transportation and handling costs.

Coal prices for other units in the state as well as escalation rates assumed over the study period were based on the ICF, Inc. estimates.

D. Coal Conversion The simulations assumed the conversion to coal burning of 3,665 MW of capacity within the state during the early to mid-1980's, o'f which about 1,750 Mw would i be Con Edison's Ravenswood 3 and Arthur Kill 2 and 3 generating units.

E. High Sulfur Oil Test Con Edicon currently burns 0.6 percent sulfur oil in

- Ravensucod 3 and Arthur Kill 2 and 3 on a temporary basis. The units were modeled in the studies as burn-ing 0.6 percent sulfur oil until they are converted to coal burning.

i l

l

. 1 F. Indian Point Operation and Maintenance Expense The analysis assumed that if Indian Point were shut down there would be no O&M expenses. This assumption results in calculated savings of the entire O&M expense, which in reality is not likely. At the very least, if the Indian Point units are closed prematurely there would be a pe-riod of time between shutdown and start of decommission-ing when significant O&M expenses would continue to be l incurred. The length of time and magnitude of such O&M expenses have not been estimated and were assumed to be zero.

G. Transmission Transfer Limits Normal transfer limits are used as input data to 4

the program for each of the ten transmission inter-

! faces in the state from 1983 through 2000. Such l transmission transfer -limi,ts do not reflect scheduled or unscheduled outages of transmission facilities.

V. STUDY RESULTS A. Electric Production Cost Impact of Shutdown The electric production cost increase as a result of a shutdown of the Indian Point units was cal-culated by comparing differences in electric pro-duction costs from simulations run with and without the Indian Point units in service. The costs reflect

! changes in cost of operation of units in the Con l

Edison service area and the NYPP as well as changes in costs of Canadian economy energy.

1. Annual Electric Production Cost Impact
a. Direct Electric Production Cost Increase Table 1 lists estimated annual electric pro-duction cost increases for customers in the Con Edison service area for the period 1983 through 2000. The direct electric production cost in-crease includes changes in fuel costs, variable O&M costs, start-up costs and the cost of Canadian economy energy.
b. Increased Inventory Expense With a shutdown of Indian Point, additional fossil fuel would be required to be consumed, resulting in additional costs associated with an increase in inventory costs. Con Edison is required by the PSC to maintain a minimum fuel inventory equal to 75 percent of the projected maximum forty-five days of consecutive burn in any given year. An al-lowance for increased inventory expense for PASNY has also been included. The increased inventory expense is listed in Table 1.
c. Working Capital Working capital is also largely a function of the fue'. expense. Such working capital for Con Edison is equal to one-eighth of the total annual fuel expense. Since a before tax return of about 20
percent is allowed on working capital, incrementsi
changes in fuel expenses result in an additional revenue burden to the consumer. Similarly, PASNY has a carrying charge in the order of 10 percent.

The total increase in working capital for the Service Area is listed in Table 1.

j d. Gross Revenue and Sales Taxes Gross revenue and sales taxes paid on electric bills by Con Edison's customers are a function of the magnitude of their electric bills. The revenue and sales taxes are nominally 6.1 percent and 8.25 percent in New York City, however, some of Con Edison's customers are located in Westchester County or may be exempt from some of these taxes.

PASNY's customers are not subject to either tax.

A composite tax for the Service Area of 6 percent was assumed. The cost is also tabulated in Table 1.

e. Total Impact The total electric production cost impact of an Indian Point shutdown is the summation of the direct electric production cost increase, the increased inventory expense, the increased working capital and the gross revenue and sales

- taxes for the Service Area. This total for the Con Edison Service Area is shown in Table 1.

2. Impact on New York State Table 2 lists the electric production cost'in-creases to New York State for the study period.

Due to the complexity of estimating the increase in inventory and working capital expenses and the gross revenue and sales tax rates for other utili-ties, only the direct increase in electric pro-duction expense is shown.

3. Secondary Cost Increases A shutdown of Indian Point would significantly increase the demand for, and consequently the price of, residual oil on the East Coast. The impact of the additional cost increase wae, not reflected in the fuel prices used'in the simulation discussed above.

B. Sources of Energy Tables 3 and 4 illustrate the sources of energy which would replace Indian Point energy in the years 1983 and 1990. As shown in 1983, a loss of the Indian Point generating capacity would result in an increase i in oil consumption of approximately 15.8 million barrels of oil, 40 percent of which would be burned by Con Edison or PASNY oil fired generating units. Additional amounts of oil fueled replacement energy would be generated by Niagara Mohawk (20 percent) and LILCO (21 percent),

and lesser amounts generated by the remaining NYPP member companies.

Replacement oil consumption would decline if and when coal conversions are completed, particularly those L

at Con Edison's Arthur Kill and Ravenswodd generating stations, to a low of about 11.4 million barrels in 1987. Replacement energy from oil again increases to over 14.0 million barrels by 1995, due to load growth exceeding unit additions after 1987.

VI. OTHER FACTORS A. Coal Conversions To the extent that the conversions do not receive timely approval or are ultimately rejected, additional replacement energy for Indian Point would be generated by oil fired generating units during the 1980's, thereby further increasing residual oil consumption and costs to customers.

B. Existing Nuclear Units and Nuclear Units Under Construction This analysis assumes that all other nuclear plants in New York State continue to operate and that the two nucicar plants now under construction (Shoreham and Nine m

.ile Point 2) are completed on the dates presently scheduled. Loss of production from any of these nuclear plants would increase production cost penalties associated i with an Indian Point shutdown.

! C. Interpool Transactions 1

The shutdown of Indian Point would increase the-cost of economy energy purchased by NYPP from other pools since prices are based on avoided costs. Other neighboring power pools' cost would increase since less economy energy from plants within NYPP would be available for sale to those pools. The cost to electric customers in those pools and-the associated lost opportunity costs to the NYPP have not been quantified.

Interrogatory 2 (a) Provide all documents which relate to estimates of likely outages to Indian Point Unit No. 2 and any other units (identifying such units by name) as a result of the proposed settlement agreement with EPA and NY PUC (re cooling system operations during biologically important periods).

(b) If Indian Point Units Nos. 2 and 3 were permanently shut down, would the other impacted units (iden-tified in 2(a), above) still be subject to the same outages?

If not, explain why the outages would differ making specific reference to each generating unit involved.

Response

The cooling tower settlement agreement has been approved by the New York Public Service Commission and is now in effect. The stations affected by the settlement agree-ment are Indian Point, Bowline Point and Roseton. Attachment A presents the estimates of likely outages to Indian Point and other impacted units.

If the Indian Point units were permanently shut down, the Bowline Point and Roseton generating station outage requirements under the settlement agreement would be alleviated by crediting forced outages at the Indian Point units against the required Bowline Point and Roseton outages. However, most of the outage requirements under the settlement agreement placed on these units would have been satisfied by selective scheduling of annual maintenance activities which would have required outages in any event. Thus, even though the obliga-tion under the settlement agreement to fulfill outage require-ments at those stations would be alleviated were Indian Point permanently shut down, those units would still have to be taken out of service periodically for maintenance activities.

l Attachment A Indian Point Units As part of the Settlement Agreement, Con Edison and PASNY have agreed to remove Indian Point Units 2 and 3 from service during the May 10.- August 10 period for a total of 60 unit-weeks over the next ten years commencing in May 1981. During this period, the units can be expected to be out of service due to various ,

reasons for the major portion of the required 60 unit-weeks.

Additional outages would be required to the extent normal unit outages are insufficient to satisfy the terms of the agreement.

This discussion quantifies the utilities exposure to such additional outages.

There are several methods which can be used to estimate the outages which can be expected to occur during the 10 years which will go toward satisfying the terms of the settlement agree-ment.

First, a purely probabilistic schedule can be considered.

Assuming a " normal" 18 month refueling cycle for the Indian Point units, with refuelings occurring randomly and lasting between eight (8 ) and ten (10) weeks, the expected refueling outages during the window period will range from 13.3* to 16.7 weeks for each unit over the 10 year period. Other outages are also likely to occur.

  • 12 mos./yr. x 8 wks./ cycle x 0.25 window wks x 10 yrs. = 13.3 wks.

18 mos./ cycle yearly wks A-1

Using the New York Power Pool assumed forced outage rate for mature

~

nuclear units, expected forced outages during the " window" periods over the ten years would range from 12.8 weeks to 12.5* weeks per unit, depending on refueling duration. For the two units expected outages over the 10 year period range from 52.2 to 58.4 weeks.

The total additional outage required would therefore range from 7.8 to 1.6 unit weeks.

The second methodology, a more deterministic estimate of expected outages during the " window" period, uses planned mainte-nance schedules for the Indian Point plants as currently projected.

Based on current refueling schedules, refuelings in the window pe-riod over the ten year time frame total 16 weeks for Indian point 2 and 12 weeks for Indian Point 3. Incorporating expected forced outages similar to above results in total outages over the ten year period of 28.5 weeks for Indian Polnt 2 and 25.0 weeks for Indian Point 3. Together these outages total 53.5 weeks which, when compared to the 60 week settlement requirement, yields 6.5 weeks of additional outages required over the ten year period.

A third method recognizes that both Con Edison and PASNY will exercise available control to obviate the need for additional outages. A single cycle length can be changed by one to two months with minor costs for re-design of the nuclear fuel cycle. Applying

((520 weeks x 0.25) - 13.3 wks.] x forced outage rate = 12.8 wks.

A-2 -

such flexibility would increase the refueling outage for Indian Point 2 during the " window" period from 16 to 24 weeks. Adjusting any cycle of the Indian Point 3 schedule by only one month would have no effect on the 12 weeks of refueling which occurred in the

" window" period. When the effects of generic forced outages are added, the expected outage figures become 35.7 weeks for Indian Pont 2, and 25 weeks for Indian Point 3 for a total of 60.7 weeks

- which exceed the 60 week requirement.

A fourth methodology considers the actual forced outage data for Indian Point Units 2 and 3. Using these figures to esti-mate future outages, and considering adjusted refueling schedules, would result in total outages during the " window" period in excess of the 60 weeks requirement.

Table I summarizes the expected additional outages using the four methodologies.

Roseton and Bowline Point units The Settlement Agreement requires a thirty unit-day outage at either one or both of the Bowline Point units and at either one or both of the Roseton units between May 15 and June 30 of each year. Based on present maintenance outage requirementc, this provision of the agreement will result in no additional outages of either unit.

A-3 -

The Settlement Agreement also provides for an additional outage of one Bowline Point unit for an aggregate of 31 unit-days during the month of July in each of the first five years of the agreement. At the end of five years the utilities will have the option to continue the Bowline Point July outages for the remaining five years of the settlement or to take a total of 14 additional unit-days of outages at Indian Point 2 and/or Indian Point 3 between May 10 and August 10 in addition to the other outages at these units, increasing the 10-year total outages at these units from 420 unit-days to 434 unit-days.

It is expected that the Bowline Point July-penalty outage will be in addition to the regular maintenance for these plants, thus reducing Bowline Point's overall availability by 31 days per year. ,

No decision has yet been made to date concerning the substitution of Indian Point outages for Bowline Point outages in the latter five years of the agreement.

Interrogatory 5 Provide all documents which relate to estimates of the decommissioning cost for Indian Point Unit No. 2 assuming (a) decommissioning occurred at end of useful life, and (b) decommissioning occurred prematurely (i.e., consistent with mid-1983 shutdown). In your response to this Interroga-tory identify all of the data and assumptions used in develop-ing such cost estimates.

Response

Attached is a study by Nuclear Energy Services Inc.

dated April 1982 which describes decommissioning costs for Indian Point Unit 2 based on decommissioning in the Year 2006 entitled " Decommissioning Study of Prompt Dismantlement of Indian Point Unit 2".* Con Edison has not, as yet, studied the impact of premature decommissioning.

Ilave any provisions or proposals, such as change in the rate base, been made by the Licensee, its agents or consultants to recover expected decommission- j ing costs for Indian Point Unit No. 2? If so, identify 1 i

such provisions or proposals and all documents relating to such provisions and proposals.

Response

In Case 27353, in an opinion issued on April 6, 1979, the New York Public Service Commission determined the ,

annual decommissioning charges for the remaining service ,

life of Indian Point No. 2 which are to be reflected in_ #

rates. The annual charges increase over time, and are:

currently S3.14 million. The current annual charges are based upon a 1976 AIF generic study and would increase >

substantially if the Nuclear Energy Services, Inc. study '

provided in response to Interrogatory 5 were to be accepted for rate purposes.

Interrogatory 7 If Indian Point Unit No. 2 or Unit No. 3, or both, were permanently shut down in 1983, would replace-ment power generation be needed? If so, identify for the period extending over what would have been the Indian Point Unit (s) remaining life the specific sources (noting the power output for each source) of power generation (whether existing or new construction) that would be neces-sary to taxe the place of the Indian Point Unit (s). Pro-vide for each identified source of such generation all do-cuments that describe the surrounding environment. Parti-cularly provide those documents which note the description of aquatic and terrestrial biota that might be affected by operation or construction of such replacement sources.

4

Response

The replacement power for Indian Point Units 2 and 1 generation, estimated to be approximately 11 million megawatt hours annually, would be generated by Con Edison as well as by other member utilities of the.New York Power Pool.*

The replacement generation would be obtained l

l through the most economical dispatch of the units within the

, Power-Pool System, subject to transmission limitations, to the l

l Con Edison franchise area. All Power Pool members dispatch their generating units through a central system, and it is, t b e 're fore ,

not realistic to identify the incremental dispatch of more l

than 100 generating units throughout the state at any given time.

l

[

i New York Power Pool members are: Central Hudson Gas &

I Electric Corporation, Consolidated Edison Company, Long

! Island Lighting Co., New York State Electric and Gas Company, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, Orange and Rockland Utilities, Power Authority of the State of New York, and Rochester Gas & Electric Co.

t .

1 Response 7 (cont'd)

However, current estimates are that approximately 40% of the replacement power for Indian Point Units 2 and 3 during the next 10 years would be generated within Con Edison system.

The water bodies that might be affected by in-creased power production by Con Edison's generating units include the riudson River, East River, and the Arthur Kill.

Other Power Pool member generating stations are on Lake Erie Lake Ontario, the Niagara River, Long Island Sound, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Listed below are the titles of documents which contain descriptions of the environment at or in the vicinity of existing generating stations in the New York metropolitan area which may provide portions of the replacement jeneration capacity should the Indian Point Units No. 2 and 3 be shut down.

- Response 8D State and local real estate taxes paid by Con Edison and attributed to Indian Point 2 were S9,688,116 for 1981. Details of these taxes are shown in the response to Interrogatory 12.

Response 8E

1) Average General and Administrative Expense are calculated using total company (actual) expenses incurred.

Accounting procedures do not keep company locations separate for these expenses.

Average Company Administrative Average Plant in Service and General Expenses for the for the year 198.

year 1981 245,591,000 7,699,801,000 = 3.19%

2) Con Edison does conduct nuclear related research activity not specifically tied with Indian Point 2. There were no expenditures for these activities for the year 1980 nor for for the year 1931. The program involved is the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor Program. Further expenditures on this pro-gram are currently estimated to be approximately S800,000 per year These costs would not be included in the general administrative expense. Shutdown of Indian Point 2 would not be expected to affect these activities.

Interrogatory 9 Identify the original book cost and present book cost of Indian Point 2.

Response

The average book cost of Indian. Point 2 including i

common f acilities for 1981 was S363,741,000. An original book cost on a comparable basis has not been calculated due to the retirement of Indian Point Unit No. 1 and subsequent allocation 1

to Indian Point 2 of common facilities used by both plants.

Interrogatory 10 Indicate which, if any, of the costs in Inter-rogatory 8 would cease in the event of a shutdown of Indian Point Unit No. 2 and which, if any, of the costs in Inter-rogatory 8 would decline, and by what amount if Indian Point Unit No. 2 ceased operation.

Response

1 Fixed costs do not vary with the operation of the plant. With the exception of a minor reduction in the cost of insurance and some taxes even if the plant were per-manently shutdown with no expectation of reopening, these fixed costs would continue. See Response to Interrogatory 8.

Interrogatory 11 Do you expect the New York Public Service Commission would continue to permit the inclusion of the fixed charges for Indian Point No. 2 in the rate base if Indian Point Unit No. 2 ceased operation. Provide the basis for your response.

Response

The New York PSC would not permit the Company to continue recovering these costs from ratepayers. In the event of a permanent shutdown, the Company would request the PSC to treat the remaining unrecovered investment in Indian Point 2 as an extraordinary property loss and allow the Company to amortize the remaining investment over a period of years with the unamortized balance included in rate base until the end of the amortization period. A proposal for full extraordinary property loss treatment for the Indian Point 2 investment would probably be contested in the ap-propriate ratemaking proceeding.

Interrogatory 12 Indicate for Indian Point Unit No. 2 the 1980 real property tax payments to the State and the 1980 real property tax (or in lieu) payments to the following juris-dictions: Westchester County, Town of Cortlandt, Village of Buchanan, Henrik Hudson School District, Verplanck Water District, and the Verplanck Fire Protection District. In your response to this Interrogatory reflect the value of property exclusive of offsite transmission lines.

. Interrogatory 13 Indicate for Indian Point Unit No. 2 all payments to the State and to local jurisdictions, other than real property tax and in-lieu payments. In your res-ponse to this Interrogatory specifically identify the amount of each payment.

Response

Con Edison pays gross receipt taxes to the State of New York on sales of electricity and sales taxes on pur-chases.- A breakdown of these taxes by localities is not available.

Neither the Town of Cortlandt nor the Village of Buchanan imposes a gross receipts tax on the sales of elec-tricity, and Con Edison did not pay any local sales taxes on purchases to the Town or Village in 1981.

Interrogatory 14 Indicate for Indian Point Unit No. 2 the number of employees at the site and the number of contractor person-nel (security, maintenance) who are regularly stationed at the site. For the former group, also indicate the job cate-gories of employees, the residential location of each indivi-dual and the 1981 dollar value of each contract. (County level addresses will satisfy the residential location informa-tion request.)

Response

The attached table lists the various locations of the Con Edison workers who are assigned to the Indian Point Unit 2 site as of December 31, 1981. Con Edison management personnel are responsible for plant management, administration, technical, professional and secretarial duties required in the operation of Indian Point Unit 2. Con Edison union personnel's-duties include plant operation, instrumentation, mechanical and electrical technology operations as well as health physics. The figures do not include Company or contractor construction forces who are used for various projects.

In addition to the employees who are working at the site, it should be noted that there are employees at l

, other locations who provide support for the operation of 1

the Indian Point unit. The number of such support personnel for 1981 is estimated to be approximately 50 full time people for Indian Point 2.

Response

Expenditures in 1980 for materials and services pur-chased in Westchester County, Rockland County and New York City (including New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx and Richmond Counties) are listed below for Con Edison's Indian Point 2. Included are expenditures for equipment, professional and general ser-vices, repair and maintenance, construction, automotive, office supplies, mechanical and electrical material, spare parts, EDP equipment, etc. Not included are expenditures for fuel, legal services and financial services.

Indian Point 2 Westchester S24 million Rockland S 0 New York City $ 5 million Expenditures for 1981 were not readily available broken down by locality.

Interrogatory 17 (a) Is it physically possible to construct at the Indian Point site one or more coal-fueled facilities generating a total of 1800 MW. -

(b) If it would not be possible to locate such coal-fired generating capacity at Indian Point, state whether there are any sites available within a 10-mile radius of the Indian Point Units that could be used for construction of such coal-fired capacity. In addition, identify the location of such sites.

Response

It may be physically possible to construct a coal-fired facility generating a total of 1800 MW at Indian Point, however it would require at least six years to decommission and dismantle the nuclear units and six or more years additional to license and construct coal units. There would likely be extensive delays in obtaining environmental approvals for a coal-fired facility at the site.

Con Edison knows of no other sites within a 10-mile radius of the Indian Point units that could be used for construc-tion of such coal-fired capacity.

5. The Pool shall be respon'ible s for scheduling or purchasir.g sufficient operating capability from neighboring Pools to meet the Pool load and hf
  • minimum Operating Reserve Requirements.
6. Generating capability which is not available in the prescribed time limits for Ten-Minute and Thirty-Minute Reserve because of response rates or transmission system limitations shall not be credited in meeting the Pool Minimum Operating Reserve Requirement.
7. The distribution of both Ten-Minute and Thirty-Minute Reserve on units within the Pool must be such that it can be delivered within the guide-lines specified in the NYPP Desian Standards for Lono Range Planninc and Studies of Short Range 00erating Limits.
8. Generating Capability which is restricted for a member's .own use shall not be included as part of the Pool's Operating Reserve and not be included in that member's surplus Operating Capability.

OPERATIONS

, l. The Pool shall monitor the Operating Reserve to assure that it meets

~

or exceeds the minimum criteria in this policy. Each member shall keep the Pool informed at all times as to the status and operating limits associated with its generating equipment.

2. When the Pool Operating Reserve is ecual to or exceeds the Pool O

~~

Minimum Operating Reserve Requirement!, and when a memcer or W

members are deficient, the deficiency will be supplied from Pool excess capaoility. _..

3. When the Pool becomes deficient in meeting the TEN-MINUTE RESERVE portion. of the Minimum Operating Reserve Requirement, the SPD

-shall immediately direct the conversion of sufficient THIRTY-MINUTE RESERVE to the TEN-MINUTE RESERVE category to ieestablish

.__ the required level of TEN-MINUTE RESERVE while insuring that the

.. .. required THIRTY-MINUTE RESERVE is maintained.

4. ~When the Pool becomes deficient in meeting the THIRTY-MINUTE RESERVE portion of the Minimum Operating Reserve Requirement,

__.the SPD shall immediately direct conversion of sufficient OPERATING CAPABILITY to the THIRTY-MINUTE RESERVE category

. utilizing only that capability which can be converted within Thirty Minutes.

5. As soon as it is determined that (i) the conversion to any portion of the MINIMUM OPERATING RESERVE REQUIREMENT cannot be completed in the designated time, (ii) the available '

OPERATING CAPABILITY is less than required to re-establish the minimum OPERATING RESERVE, or (iii) the remaining OPERATING CAPABILITY is energy limit-d and should be with-held if possible, the SPD shall immediately attempt to purchase the required OPERATING RESERVE.

6.. During the shortages of OPERATING RESERVE, the Senior Pool Dis-patcher has the authority to depart from economic dispatch, to utilize reserve pickup, full unit OPERATING CAPABILITY or member

' directed dispatch, as required.

7. Emergency Transfer Limit criteria may be invoked to provide trans-mission capability to deliver Operating Reserve to an area deficient in Operating Reserve. The Senior Pool Dispatcher shall notify all mem-bers that Emergency Transfer Limit criteria have been invoked and.mem-bers in the deficient area should be prepared to take all measures up to and including load shedding to return facilities to appropriate ratings within fifteen minutes should such ratings be exceeded.
8. When, after Emergency Transfer Limit criteria have been invoked and all available capability, including purchases from neighboring pools or companies has been utili:ed, lead relief attainable by quick response voltage reduction shall be classified as Ten-Minute Reserve.
9. If, after the above action, a shortage of Ten-Minute Reserve still exists, the Senior Pool Dispatcher shall direct that load relief ,

procedures be implemented in accordance with NYPP Operating Policy No. 3 - Vol tage Reduction Policy.

[)

es ACTIVATION OF RESERVE Ten-Minute Reserve shall be maintained or re-established as rapidly as possible subsequent to a disturbance which has initiated a reserve pickup. Sufficient Thirty-Minute Reserve shall be converted to the Ten-Minute Reserve category so that as the pickup proceeds, the Pool

W Td- D Page 4 of 6 .

will not become deficient in Ten-Minute Reserve. This may involve initiating the conversion of Thirty-Minute Reserve to the Ten-Minute Reserve status at the same time the original ' Ten-Minute Reserve is picked up. This will insure that '

the Ten-liinute Reserve will be fully re-established not later than thirty )

minutes after the initial incident.

. When the loss of generation causes the NYPP control error to exceed 3Ld

  • it is the responsibility of the Senior Pool Dispatcher to initiate action!

promptly, taking whataever actions are necessary, to insure that the NPCC reserve pickup requirements are achieved. When NYPP reserve pickup is required,

,, one of the following methods will be used:  ; .. .

.l. WITH NYPP COMPUTER DIRECTED DISPATCH  !

p.

The Senior Pool Dispatcher will terminate Economic Dispatch and execute the computer programs which determine new basepoints for selected dispatchable units to return the NYPP interchange to schedule. The Senior Pool Dispatchers will notify all members, via the hot-line, that a reserve pickup has beerT init-iated. He will also indicate the required reserve pickup for each member and direct them to move their generation at emergency response rates to achieve the desired pickup. It is the responsibility of the Senior Pool Dispatcher to initiate action to maintain, if possible, or to quickly re-establish Ten-Minute Reserve during and following the reserve pickup. -

Economic Dispatch will be re-initiated as expeditiously as possible.

2. WITHOUT NYPP COMPUTER DIRECTED DISPATCH

\

The Senior Pool Dispatcher shall direct each member to pick up his pdrtion Q

of the generation deficiency in accordance with Reserve Pickup Table 2-B. .

It is the responsibility of the individual members to initiate actionito maintain or quickly re-establish Ten-Minute Reserve whenever they are or will likely become deficient in Ten-Minute Reserve and to notify the Senior Pool Dispatcher of any resulting deficiencies. ]

To insure that the Pool tiinimum Operating Reserve Requirement is main

, tained during Economy Energy transactions, the buyer must maintain Operating Capability that he is buying against in the same reserve category as that:

from which the seller is selling. The seller must inform the Senior Pool Dispatcher of any reserve category changes so that all categories of Operati.ng Reserve are maintained. .

Upon the pickup of reserve, the Senior Pool Dispatcher will rionitor the NYPP Operating Reserve and take whatever actions are necessary, as set forth in the Operations section of this policy, in order to re-establish the Minimum Operating Reserve Requirement.

AUDITS OF RESERVE RESPONSE -

The Senior Pool Dispatcher, when he deems it ncessary, may direct the As defined in NERC-0C (NAPSIC) Control Performance Criteria

- Sheet 5 of L following types of Reserve demonstrations:

1. Selected Unit Resconse - A Ten-Miriute Reserve pickup, a demonstration of l]

y claimed Operating Capacility, or both, may be directed on any unit syn-chronized or non-synchronized claimed .for Daily Operating Capability.

Should the selected unit be unable to demonstrate the amcunt of capability claimed, the Senior Pool Dispatcher shall direct the cwning member to derate. the unit as required. .

2. Synchronized Reserve Resoonse - A member may be directed to demonstr$te

. . _ _ . its Syncnronizec Reserve. -

~

If a membei~ fails to demonstrate the ability to pickup his portion of

- Synchronized Reserve, the Senior Pool Dispatcher will do one of the following:

a) Instruct the memcer to transfer capability from the Non- l Synchronized or Thirty-Minute category to the Synchronized '

category. A member transferring capability from one categcry i to another is stil'. r t, ligated to maintain his portion of the Pool tiinimum Operatti g Reserve Requirement. ,

s b) If a member fails to demonstrate his Synchronized Reserve l and is deficient, and capability is available fecm other sources, arrangements will be made to purchase capability -

to cover the deficiency. The deficient member will be ob-ligated to take the assigned purchase. -

\

3. Actual Response - For purposes of measuring NYPP perfomance and the-b@ response of incividual members to d required reserve pickup, selected, audits of actual response to a unit loss will be conducted.

RESERVE REOUIREMENTS WHEN COMMISSIONING NEW GENERATING UNITS i Pool Ten-Minute Reserve may be used to cover the loss of test generatio'n on a non-commercial unit, making it unnecessary for the Installing Ccmpany(fes) to carry additional Ten-Minute Reserve above their normal Pool Requirement.,'

The Operating Capability of a unit on test shall not be included in the Op-

, erating Reserve of the Installing Company (ies) and, therefore, the Installing Company (ies) will be required to carry additional Thirty-Minute Reserve equal to the generation of the unit undergoing test.

When size and output of a non-commercial unit en test increases the Pool's Ten-Minute or Thirty-Minute Reserve Requirement, the Installing Company (ies) will be obligated to provide the additional required reserve.

ALLOCATION

The allocation of the Pool Minimum Operating Reserve Obligation is contained in Appendix 2-C. ,

Interrogatory 22 Provide current status of NYPP coal conversion program. In responding to this question utilize pp. 31-36 1 of the April 1981 Report of Member Electric Systems of the NYPP, Volume 1. Identify all changes in plans and schedules since that information was prepared. Specifically, indicate how Table 6 must be changed to redect all units currently i planned for conversion, earliest concersion date, and cost to convert. In your response to this Interrogatory identify all assumptions including any legal requirements, necessary regulatory approvals, and other factors relevant to the j timing and success of accomplishing the conversion.

Response

Page 12 of the document supplied in response to l '

l Interrogatory 4 lists the 1982 projected schedule for coal conversions. Subsequent to that filing Con Edison has up-i dated its target dates for conversion of Ravenswood 3 and Arthur Kill 2 and 3. The current targets are June 1983 for Ravenswood 3, November 1985 for Arthur Kill 3 and July 1986 for Arthur Kill 2. Con Edison does not have information re-P garding any possible revisions to the coal conversion plans i of other NYPP members.

Interrogatory 24 For each oil unit not included in NYPP's conver-sion plan (but for which conversion is technically feasible) provide an estimate of the capital cost of conversion and an estimate of the remaining useful life of the unit.

Response

Con Edison does not have information on other NYPP member utilities' coal conversion cost estimates. In the case of Ravenswood Units 1 & 2, a January 1981 conceptual study estimated that their conversion cost would be approximately S97 million (1980 dollars) for each unit with possible con-version dates of 1990 for Unit 1 and 1991 for Unit 2. The ultimate decision to proceed with the possible conversions will depend largely on the success and impact of conversion of Ravenswood Unit 3, and Arthur Kill Units 2 and 3. Air quality studies af ter conversion of these units will weigh heavily in the feasibility of converting Ravenswood Units 1 and 2. Based on a typical base load unit life of 45 years, Ravenswood 1 & 2 would be retired in the year 2008.

Interrogatory 25 Identify the difficulties and estimate the costs associated with converting boilers not sized to burn coal (i.e., Astoria 6, Bowline 1 & 2, Roseton 1 & 2 and Oswego 5

& 6).

Response

Con Edison has not estimated the costs associated with converting the above-named units to coal.
