Turning to the positive, our first reason for confidence in the future is that our marketing focus is sharp -

and working. Our goal to sell more energy without in-creasing summer peah demand is targeted at promot-ing the sale of heat pumps and other electric space heating equipment, b 1988, nearly 5,000 more heat pumps were installed in our market - a significant advance considering strong competition in the residen-tial heating marketplace. Also in 1988, we exceeded an internal goal by achieving a 50% market share for electric heat in new commercial buildings.

In 1988, the Callaway Plant produced 26% of all

~'Q electricity supplied to our customers. ' Itis is a record '

'c to be proud of-it underscores the teamwork achieved ... ., /-

  • ' " ~ ^ " '*~

by our organization and the quality of our plant. Early in the year, Callaway became the first plant ofits type to be licensed for increased power output by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This helped boost ;j . , ~ ~

Callaway's electrical generation to 9.39 billion kilowatt-hours, fourth highest in the nation for a single unit.

Callaway operates with strict safety requirements set 'M by the NRC. Our training program is a key factor in [

assuring that we can meet these requirements as well '

gj as our operational goals. We are convinced that ongoing, intense training provides the foundation for p i long-term, safe, reliable plant operation. Callaway has consistently received high ratings from the NRC.

Customer Services has a two-fold responsibility:

the marketing of energy and its distribution to our

?# ' - customers.

We feel that marketing is more than just developing new business. We also focus on providing better serv-f ice to customers and helping them to use energy i efficiently. Our programs provide special services, s.- , .s ,

such as weatherization materials to senior citizens to

,, .- y. make their homes more energy efficient and assistance

.i for elderly, low-income, and handicapped customers with special needs.

Energy distribution is a function that involves all our customers - the 942,000 residential customers and the 124,000 commercial / industrial users. Customer Services delivers the energy through 35,000 miles of distribution lines and more than 700 sub-I stations. Our electric service is 99.9%

reliable and, when there is trouble, we locate it and fix it promptly.
