TD Our Stockhdd:rc: In March 1980, Duquesne Light Company will be 100 years old, almost half as old as our nation. During this century, electric power has transformed our service area into one of the world's major workshops-a transformation of which we are proud to have been a part. We hope you will take time to read the Company's history, included in this report, because it records the many challenges we have faced over the years. The Company met many challen-ges-treating them as opportunities rather than obstacles-accounting, in large measure, for our remarkable g owth and prominent position in our service area. We must call on the same kind of courage again, for today's business climate is more complex and unpredictable than any we have experienced since our beginnings. During 1979, there were bright spots and significant improvements. However, it was also a year of obstructions, most of which were not our doing. On the positive side of the 1979 ledger, the most significant financial event for the Company was the S58 million annual rate increase which became effective July 15th. This increase, which amounts to about an 11% rise in rates on an annual basis, has greatly improved our present financial condition. Also, for the first time since 1973, the common stock dividend was increased. A dividend of 45v per share, declared in August 1979, represents a two-cent increase per quarter and raises the indicated annual dividend rate from S1.72 to S1.80 per share. Earnings and electric sales also improved during the year. The Company camed S1.81 per average share of common stock-a 21.5% increase over 1978. Earnings for 1979 included 12e per share from a non-recurring change in billing practice required by ANNUAL SYSTEM PEAK LOAD Mm the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. Electric sales were 1910-1989 obl Actual up 5.3%, primarily as the result of the use of new electric arc $o"* ' kd ** , Forecast furnaces by Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation. It is heartening to report that increased use of electric arc furnaces, like those serving the Pittsburgh Works of J & L, will 3.s offset other steel-related losses and will add approximately S28 million to the Company's annual revenues by 1981, while saving more than 6,000 jobs for the Pittsburgh area. a.o On the negative side, by far the most significant electric utility problem in 1979 was the accident at Three Mile Island. Though no one was killed or injured and the radiation released 2.s was so small that the effect was not measurable above normal conditions, Three Mile Island has raised disturbing issues which have affected Duquesne Light and the entire electric utility g~g h Lr-industry. m Because of the uncertainties affecting future nuclear power, severe financial constraints, combined with a reduced rate of growth, we, along with the four other utilities of the CAPCO 73 y[4 f c1 4 Group, announced the termination of plans to build four addi- i .o ,_ $@ tional nuclear units which were in the design stage. Also, the r Q p estimated completion daies of three nuclear plants presently Msd ) under construction were extended 12 to 36 months. As part of CAPCO, we are going forward with the construction of those 0.s (QQQL a ti three nuclear units, plus one coal-fired unit, which we believe will g p g] Q b oo *3o -g'*Q Qt y,o ion- %* ,j .8o '89: add sufficient capacity to see us through the mid-80's.

Another difficulty we faced during 1979 was the impact of inflation on our operation. Inflation imposes a heavy burden on O all capital-intensive utilities, including Duquesne Light. Beyond increasing our costs for goods and services at a furious pace, inflation increases the cost of funds in the long-term capital market. We have been and are now a financially sound utility. However, Duquesne Light's ability to continue to get the capital necessary to finance construction programs will depend, in part, on the government's ability to control inflation. Our subsidiary, Allegheny County Steam Heating Company (ACSH), forced to convert to oil to meet environmental regula-tions in 1974, has continued to lose money. ACSH lost $1.2 million in 1979 due largely to rising oil prices. On December 31, 1979, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approved an ACSH request for permission to re-establish a fully compensa-tory fuel clause and to transfer to base rates $1.2 million of fuel adjustment revenues. In the meantime, Duquesne Light and a sWW- group of stes n users are meeting to find solutions to ACSH's W financial problems.
...s Along with the entire electric utility industry, the Company was faced with many environmental regulations during 1979. A case in point is our Cheswick Power Station. Studies conducted at

v this coal-fired facility indicate that the plant is not adversely JA % ' affecting the air quality of the area, including neighboring com-munities outside of our service area,to any significant degree. Yet, to comply with the letter of the law, we may have to install a O g' , scrubber system which would cost an estimated $26 million to build and $36 million annually to operate. Over the life of the f. station, our customers would pay an additional S1 billion j r expense for something that would provide them with little bene- l fit, and, at the same time, offer no meaningful improvement in air 1 quality. Despite our many concerns, we believe Duquesne Light has John M. Arthur the people and the expertise to continue providing reliable serv- 1 ice at reasonable cost, so that our customers can use electricity to enrich their lives and maintain their livelihoods. We take this opportunity to thank our dedicated employees, our customers and our stockholders for their support. We feel that our "Second Century of Electricity" will be even more chal-( lenging and rewarding than our First. 4 i ..

shYHE NUCLEAR NGEfh \ Duquesne Light embarked upon the nuclear age in power gen-eration as an independent company. In 1952, Duquesne Light was separated from The Philadelphia Company, of which it ! had been a subsidiary. This move meant complete autonomy in decision-making and in operations. With the discovery of nuclear fission in the Forties, the Com-pany was looking to make commercial use of this new way to produce energy. The year 1954 brought one of the most heralded research and development projects Duquesne Light, or any other pri-vate company, had yet undertaken-The Shippingport Atomic Power Station. Based on competitive proposals, the Company , was selected to participate in the project with the United - States Atomic Energy Commission (now a part of the e-Department of Energy). - This innovative power station was the world's first full-scale M = 'er i
-c %((h3 %[^c atomic power facility operated as part of a major utility. It has proved to be an important training ground for those in techno-logical and administrative positions of the nuclear power /fy gg.
p' [kk M industry. While the station's educational value continues, the @p@ plant has estab!ished itself as a reliable though small source > FT " of energy for Duquesne Light customers. Duquesne Light supplied the land on which the plant was J. 38( built, contributed $5 million for design and construction, and %. A installed the turbine-generator. The nuclear part of the power , a station is owned by the Federal Government, while Duque, n Light owns the turbine-generator portion and is under govern-ment contract to operate the plant. President Dwight D. Eisenhower formally dedicated The Shippingport Atomic Power Station in May 1958. The Fifties were also a period when the family home became more than just living quarters. It became an entertainment center as television changed the way Americans spent their evenings. Marketed on a broad scale, Llevision became a regular household item by the end of the decade. The domina-tion by radio and movie theaters as prime enterta,nment My{ggg gq i y 1gy 4pgj outlets was about to disappear. Commercial and residential air-conditioning, as well as many industrial process changes, ,. joined with television to start a demand-growth spiral for elec- PMM . . _ y nm-tricity which was greater than anyone ever dreamed. ~WR 9% AWN The Company's new nuclear development, combined with 4"TC~v7 far-sighted capacity and transmission planning, allowed Duquesne Light to continue to meet customer demand. , g;&p

- p of energy. That was the year the first notional " energy crisis" came about, due in large part to the OPEC oil embargo. In the years oJJ "'.' q preceding 1973, electricity had become an inexpensive, efficient ax,m form of energy. Most of the world's population accepted this type
' p
*M - of energy without questioning whether they were in danger of losing it.
But 1973 changed all that. There was sudden awareness of the perils of dependence on oil and natural gas as fuels to generate s electricity. Then it was realized that costs for these forms of energy E were going sky high. The prices of oil and gas rose. The cost of l.. _ m cool increased, as well. And before anyone knew what was hop-VN' pening, cheap energy-as we all knew it-was forever ended. The true economic value of energy suddenly began to be realized hf7 $ g by the general public. For years, Duquesne light had understood the importance of the
- w. -
,D diverse use of fuels to assure continued electric service to custom-7* ? ers in times of shortages. Now this wisdom was paying oft A new
-) % f cool-fired plant at Cheswick reduced the Company's consumption
'; m
- of cool per kilowatt hour of electricity produced, aiding in keeping the cost of fuel as low as possible. During this some time, the
; cool-fired Sommis 7, Eastlake 2 5, three units of the new Bruce w 7 Mansfield plant in the Beaver Valley and the two nuclear units at
,, ) ; the new Beaver Valley Power Station were being built through an i s NO orrongement with the Central Area Power Coordination Group
! (CAPCO). This arrangement, begun in 1967, consists of Duquesne N <
h ' M} . ~ Light and four other utilities in Pennsylvania and Ohio, it permits joint bulk power construction programs that enable these utilities to { Jg pool their resources to provide the needed capacity for the region. In the Seventies, concern for the state of the environment contin-ued. To meet expanded regulations imposed on its facilities.
+
- h. Duquesne Light spent more than $300 million on environmenta!
M programs. This progressive approach to serious pollution control problems won the Company a major award in the pollution control field in 1973. H owever, environmental control expenditures increase the cost of energy. In addition, regulatory and political uncertet nties are hampering our obility to build and operate
; nuclea fccilities.
, , Neve theless the benefit of the Company's balanced use of L*- . . fuel soui es was quite apparent during the coal strike in the winter
, Jg of 1977-/8. By purchasing power from neighboring utilities and O , operating its nuclear and oil-fired capacity, Duquesne Light was able to provide its customers with electricity and to keep the system operating with only limited curtailments of service.
Duquesne light enters its second century strong and optimistic-ready to accept the challenges of the future in the some manner in which it solved the problems of the post. 15

Current cost amounts reflect the changes in specific prices of plant from the date the plant was acquired to the present, and differ from constant dollar amounts to the extent that specific prices have increased more or less rapidly than prices in general. The current cost of property, plant and equipment, which includes land, land rights, intangible plant, property held for future use, construction work in progress and nuclear fuel in process, represents the estimated cost of replacing existing plant assets and was determined by indexing surviving plant by the Handy-Whitman index of Public Utility Construction Costs. The current year's provision for depreciation on the constant dollar and current cost amounts of property, plant and equipment was determined by applying the Company's depreciation rates to the indexed plant amounts. Fuelinventories, the cost of fuel used in generation, and purchased power have not been restated from their historical cost in nominal dollars. Rate regulation limits the recovery of fuel and purchased power costs through the operation of adjustment clauses or adjustments in basic rate schedules to actual costs. For this reason fuel inventories are effectively monetary assets. As prescribed in Statement 33, income taxes were not adjusted. Under the rate-making prescribed by the regulatory commissions to which the Company is subject, only the
- historical cost of plant is recoverable in revenues as depreciation. Therefore, the excess of the cost of plant stated
[n) in terms of constant dollars or current cost that exceeds the historical cost of plant is not presently recoverable in rates as depreciation, and is reflected as a reduction to net recoverable cost. While the rate-making process gives no recognition to the current cost of replacing property, plant and equipment, based on past practices the Company believes it will be allowed to earn on the increased cost of its net investment when replacement of facilities actually occurs. 27
Ta properly r;flect the oconomics of rata reguiltion in th) Stat m:nt of Incoma, th3 rr. duction of n:t property, plant and equipment is offset by the gain from the decline in purchasing power of net amounts owed. During a period of inflation, holders of monetary assets suffer a loss of general purchasing power while holders of monetary liabilities experience a gain. The gain from the decline in purchasing power of net amounts owed is primarily attrib-utable to the substantial amount of debt which has been used to finance the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. Since the depreciation on this plant is limited to the recovery of historical costs, the Company does not have the opportunity to realize a holding gain on debt and is limited to recovery only of the embedded cost of debt capital.
