Keeping the Lights On:
An Operating Hedge
A less obvious hedge against
uncertainty is the advantage we
gain from the highly skilled
people who keep our stations
running. I’m proud that a major,
national coal-users’ group
recognized our Kincaid Power
Station in Illinois as the “2001
Power Station of the Year.”
Employees at our fossil-fuel and
hydroelectric facilities have a
long track record of operating
and maintaining Dominions
fleet above industry standards.
Nuclear Operating Excellence
For nine consecutive years,
Nucleonics Week, a news and
information database, has
placed our two Virginia nuclear
facilities on its list of top per-
forming nuclear stations in the
United States. In fact, our
North Anna station was rated
the lowest-cost producer of
nuclear-generated power in the
United States over the three-year
period ending in 2000. Surry
came in fifth for the same period.
Our stations have consistently
received high safety and efficiency
marks from the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission and
the Institute of Nuclear Power
Operations.
