'10-79 7-NSP CLARIFIZS .

TYRONE FUTURE Donald W. McCarthy, Northern States Power Co. (NSP) board chairman and president, said today that no final decision has been made en the future cf the Tyrene Er.ergy Park nuclear plant proposed for western Wisccnsin.

Clarif"1ing a Julv. 10 Minneapolis Tribune article, McCarthy .

noted tha* che final decision rests with the co-cwners of the proposed 1,10C-megawatt pcwer plant. Those cwners are. NSP-u scensin of Eau Claire, W :. s c . ; Dairyland Pcwer Cooperative of La Crosse, Wisc.; Cocperative Power Associaticr of Edina, Minn.:

and Lake Superior Distric Power Cc. cf Ashland, Wisc.

McCarthy said, "The future of the facility has been under study since the Wisccnsin Publ:.c Service Commission denied the prcject's a pplic a t :.c n for a certiricate of need last " arch. . (That decision has been appealed by the co-owners in Eau Claire County Circuit Cour t . )

"The main concern in evalua ting the prc;ect "as been the .

prospects for 1 cencing and br.ng:.ng *_he plant into serv _ce when s ,

it's needed to serve the cc-cwners' custcmers, he added. .

McCarthy noted that NSP-Minnesota's Board of Directors has recommended that the NSP-Wisconsin's board authorize that ccmcanv.'s management to proceed with negotiations with the other co-cwners concerning the prcject's cancellation.

"During the past four months," McCarthy centinued, "NSP-Wisconsin, in accordance with the Wisccasin commission's order, has been study ing the possibility of a coal-fired unit to meet future elec-tric needs if the T"1rane project is not pursued. An advance plan cn future generating plants recently filed by the ccm,rany includes this proposal." (NSP-Wisconsin is a wholl.v cwned subsidiarv. of NSP-Minnesota.)

The Tyrone project's co-owners are expected to meet in late ,

July. A decisicn is expected at that time, McCarthy said.
