STEAM-ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT STATISTICS (Large Plants)
1. Report data for plant in Service only. 2. Large plants are steam plants with installed capacity (name plate rating) of 25,000 Kw or more. Report in
this page gas-turbine and internal combustion plants of 10,000 Kw or more, and nuclear plants. 3. Indicate by a footnote any plant leased or operated
as a joint facility. 4. If not peak demand for 60 minutes is not available, give data which Is available, specifying period. 5. If any employees attend
more than one plant, report on line 11 the approximate average number of employees assignable to each plant. 6. If gas is used and purchased on a
therm basis report the Btu content or the gas and the quantity of fuel burned converted to Mct. 7. Quantities of fuel burned (Line 38) and average cost
per unit of fuel burned (Line 41) must be consistent with charges to expense accounts 501 and 547 (Line 42)as show on Line 20. 8. If more than one

Dispatching, and Other Expenses Classified as Other Power Supply Expenses. 10. For IC and GT plants, report Operating Expenses, Account Nos.
547 and 549 on Line 25 "Electric Expenses,' and Maintenance Account Nos. 553 and 554 on Line 32, "Maintenance of Electric Plant." Indicate plants
designed for peak load service. Designate automatically operated plants. 11. For a plant equipped with combinations of fossil fuel steam, nuclear
steam, hydro, internal combustion or gas-turbine equipment, report each as a separate plant. However, if a gas-turbine unit functions in a combined
cycle operation with a conventional steam unit, include the gas-turbine with the steam plant. 12. If a nuclear power generating plant, briefly explain by
footnote (a) accounting method for cost of power generated including any excess costs attributed to research and development; (b) types of cost units
used for the various components of fuel cost; and (c) any other informative data concerning plant type fuel used, fuel enrichment type and quantity for the
report period and other physical and operating characteristics of plant.
