Appendices 1, 2, and 4 to this report contain detailed financial, milestone and other information updating the schedules approved by the Commission in Order No. 2010-12.  For reference purposes, Appendix 3 provides a copy of the approved capital cost schedule for the project without adjustments in the form approved in Order No. 2011-345.

 

A confidential and a public version of this report and its attachments are being provided.  All cost information presented reflects only SCE&G’s share of the project’s cost.  Attached to the end of the report is a glossary of acronyms and defined terms used in it.

 

C.                                    Construction Schedule and Milestones

 

As the report indicates, the Company has met all current construction milestones approved by the Commission in Order No. 2010-12, as adjusted pursuant to contingencies authorized in Order No. 2009-104(A).  There are 146 separate milestones.  Of these, 63 have been completed as of September 30, 2011.  Comparing the scheduled milestone completion dates as of the date of this report to the milestone completion dates approved by the Commission in Order No. 2010-12, the completion dates of 74 milestones have changed.  Of these, 30 have been accelerated and 44 have been delayed for between one and 14 months.

 

D.                                    Construction Costs and Cost Forecasts

 

As this report indicates, the Company is on track to complete the Units at the capital cost forecast of approximately $4.3 billion in 2007 dollars as approved in Order No. 2011-345.

In Order No. 2009-104(A), the Commission recognized that forecasts of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) expense and escalation would vary over the course of the project and required those forecasts to be updated with each quarterly report.  The current escalation indices were issued in May 2011 for the period of July-December of 2010 and those indices have been used in forecasting the construction costs for the project presented here.  Chart A below compares the current capital cost forecast to the forecast presented in the last quarterly report.

Chart B compares the current forecast of gross construction costs, including current escalation, to the forecast on which the Commission relied in adopting Order No. 2011-345.  Chart B shows that the forecasted capital cost of the Units in 2007 dollars has decreased by approximately $103,000.  This reduction reflects the voluntary decision by the Company, communicated to the Commission by letter dated April 25, 2011, that it would not seek recovery for $103,000 in Community/Support Outreach costs that Westinghouse (WEC)/Shaw had included in costs to be charged under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement (EPC Contract) for the Units. Due to the changes in forecasted escalation when netted against changes in AFUDC as discussed more fully below since Order No. 2011-345 was issued the cost of the plant in future dollars has decreased by $215 million.

E.                                      Escalation Rates

 

As provided in Order No. 2009-104(A), the most current twelve-month inflation indices are used to escalate costs occurring in the twelve-month period after the date of each quarterly report.  As stated above, the most current escalation indices are found in the Handy-Whitman January 2011 update which was issued in May 2011 and reports data through the period July-December of 2010. Those rates are reflected in this report.  At the time that this quarterly report was prepared, Handy-Whitman data for the period January-June of 2011 had not been issued.

As shown on Appendix 4, utility construction cost escalation rates were at historically high levels during the period 2005-2008, and since then have begun to drop.  The current one-year averages and five-year averages are now closer to historical ten-year rates than they have been in certain past periods.  Current escalation rates are shown on Chart C, below.

F.                                      AFUDC

 

The AFUDC for the project is currently projected to be approximately $9 million lower than the forecast on which Order No. 2011-345 was based.  Consistent with Order No. 2009-104(A), SCE&G computes AFUDC based on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved methodology as applied to the balance of Construction Work in Progress (CWIP) that is outstanding between rate adjustments.  SCE&G’s AFUDC rate is currently 5.87% which is the same rate that applied when Order No. 2011-345 was issued.  Standing alone, the current AFUDC rate would produce no change in the forecasted amount of AFUDC.  However, lower escalation rates, combined with changes in the cash flow, have reduced the forecasted project cash flows for the project thereby reducing forecasted AFUDC.

G.                                    Compliance with the Commission Approved Cumulative Project Cash Flow Target

 

The current approved Cumulative Project Cash Flow target for the project was adopted by the Commission in Order No. 2011-345.  In Order No. 2009-104(A), the Commission provided that the applicable Cumulative Project Cash Flow target would be adjusted with each quarterly report to reflect updated escalation data.

 

Appendix 2 provides the approved Cumulative Project Cash Flow target updated for current escalation data.  The cash flow targets up to December 31, 2010, have been updated to reflect actual escalation rates up to that date.  The cash flow targets for the first quarter of 2011 and beyond have been updated based on the most recently available inflation indices, which, for purposes of this report, are the indices provided in May of 2011 that are current through December 31, 2010.  When actual indices for the period January 1, 2011, to June 30, 2011, become available, the cash flow data for the first and second quarters of 2011 will be revised to reflect the actual escalation rates. Cash flow data for the third quarter of 2011 will also be revised as new data are released by Handy-Whitman.

 

Appendix 2 compares the approved Cumulative Project Cash Flow target to the current cumulative cash flow schedules for the project, which include actual costs where available and SCE&G’s working forecasts of annual cash flows for future years.  In addition, the figures presented on Appendix 2 for 2011 have been adjusted to reflect timing differences between the billing methodology under the EPC Contract and the calculation of the escalated cash flow targets under Order No. 2009-104(A).  Under the EPC Contract, for periods where actual escalation rates are not available, WEC/Shaw bills SCE&G based on a rolling 2-year average of the applicable Handy-Whitman rate and provides adjustments to reflect the actual rate when it is known.  An adjustment has been made to Appendix 2 to offset the timing differences that arise as a result of WEC/Shaw’s approach to estimated billings and credits.  This adjustment applies to those EPC cost categories that are subject to indexed escalation.

 

II.                                     Progress of Construction of the Units

 

Construction of the Units is progressing to allow SCE&G to begin nuclear safety related construction work upon receipt of the Combined Operating License (COL) for the Units, which is anticipated in late 2011 or early 2012.  However, as indicated in prior reports, the current construction schedule was based on the anticipated issuance of a COL in mid-2011.  Issuance of the COL in late 2011 or early 2012 would not allow Unit 2 to be completed by the previously established substantial completion date without changes to the construction schedule.  In response, in February of 2011 SCE&G approved Change Order 11 to the EPC Contract which provides for WEC/Shaw to perform a COL Delay

 

6



 

Impact Study to assess strategies for mitigating the delay.  A total of three alternative approaches are presented in the study.  One scenario compresses the construction schedule for Unit 2 to retain the current substantial completion date, and does not change the substantial completion date of Unit 3.  The second scenario pushes the substantial completion date for Unit 2 out by six months and again does not change the substantial completion date of Unit 3.  The final scenario considers accelerating the substantial completion date for Unit 3 to determine whether such acceleration, when coupled with a delay in the Unit 2 substantial completion date, would create economies and efficiencies in the construction schedule.  Bringing the construction schedules for the two units closer together in time can allow crews to move seamlessly from working on one unit to working on the next, thereby keeping crews together and on site and thus avoiding the cost of demobilization and remobilization.  WEC and Shaw are currently re-evaluating the cost and other impacts associated with the COL delay based on a more closely integrated schedule for the units.  SCE&G is in negotiations with WEC/Shaw to determine the preferred approach.

 

SCE&G has not authorized WEC/Shaw to change the substantial completion dates for either of the Units and does not anticipate doing so until a final decision on the path forward is agreed upon.  However, some milestones that are internal to the project have shifted in ways that would require a shift in the substantial completion date of Unit 2 unless the construction schedule for Unit 2 were accelerated as envisioned by the first scenario of the COL Delay Impact Study discussed above.  If either the second or third scenario is chosen, these matters would be resolved by extending the substantial completion date of Unit 2 by approximately six months.  As mentioned above, no decision has been made concerning which scenario will be chosen.  Accordingly, the substantial completion dates of Units 2 and 3 remain 2016 and 2019 respectively.  Once a path forward to respond to the delays in the COL issuance and related matters is decided the completion dates for all milestones will be reset to reflect the resulting construction schedule.

 

A more detailed presentation of the status of the project is addressed in Section II.A-Section II.G below.

 

A.                                    Licensing and Permitting

 

1.                                      The Combined Operating License Application (COLA)

 

a)                                      Design Control Document (DCD) Revisions

 

The DCD continues on the path to support issuance of the COL in late 2011 or early 2012.  In June 2011, WEC provided the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) with Revision 19 to the DCD, which incorporated the material provisions of Revisions 16-18. Revision 19 also includes information that WEC

 

7



 

previously had provided the NRC through Requests for Additional Information (RAIs) and additional conforming amendments to the design that WEC agreed to make as a result of the NRC’s review.  On August 5, 2011, the NRC issued the Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER) concerning Revision 19.  Final Commission action on the DCD amendments is expected in November 2011.

 

b)                                      Site-Specific COL and Reference Plant COL

 

On August 17, 2011, the NRC Staff issued the FSER for the SCE&G’s site specific COLA for the Units.  This represented the successful completion of the NRC Staff’s safety review of the COLA.  On August 19, 2011, following issuance of the FSER, the NRC Staff provided the final rule making package to the NRC for review and approval.  On October 12-13, 2011, subsequent to this reporting period, the NRC held its Mandatory Hearing on the site specific COLA.  The NRC is now in a position to vote on issuing the COL as soon as DCD Revision 19 is approved.  Following an affirmative vote on Revision 19, the rulemaking for the AP1000 reactor design will be published in the Federal Register.  Once published, the rule generally becomes effective after a 30-day waiting period.  However, the possibility exists that an affirmative vote by the NRC could eliminate the 30-day waiting period, thereby making the rule effective upon publication, and allowing the COL to be issued at that time.

 

c)                                      Environmental Review

 

The NRC issued the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Units in April 2011, which completed the review of environmental impacts of the project.

 

d)                                      Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami of March 2011

 

As previously reported, in April 2011, a number of individuals and environmental groups filed a petition before the NRC to suspend all pending reactor licensing decisions and related rulemaking decisions based on the events associated with the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.  The NRC has dismissed this petition.

 

In response to the March 2011 events in Japan, the NRC established a senior level agency task force to conduct a comprehensive review of the NRC processes and regulations currently in place.  In the 90-day report issued on July 12, 2011, the task force set forth recommendations that take a balanced approach to accident mitigation during low-likelihood, high consequence events such as prolonged station power outages resulting from naturally occurring phenomena.  Specific to new plant licensing the task force report stated: “The Task Force notes

 

8



 

that the two design certifications currently in the rulemaking process (i.e., the AP1000 and the economic simplified boiling-water reactor (ESBWR)) have passive safety systems. By nature of their passive designs and inherent 72-hour coping capability for core, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling with no operator action required, the ESBWR and AP1000 designs have many of the design features and attributes necessary to address the Task Force recommendations. The Task Force supports completing those design certification rulemaking activities without delay.”

 

2.                                      Other Major Construction Permits

 

a)                                      South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) Permits

 

The SCDHEC has issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit, which will allow SCE&G to perform Pilot Testing for the proposed Off-Site Water Treatment Plant (WTP).  The permit allows SCE&G to discharge filter backwash water from this test facility into the Monticello Reservoir.  Once in operation, the proposed WTP will supply potable water to Units 2 and 3.

 

b)                                      404 Wetlands Permit and 401 Water Quality Certification

 

In late 2010, SCE&G revised its 404 Wetlands Permit application to incorporate the Company’s decision to use existing right-of-way (ROW) or to expand transmission corridors for the transmission lines to be constructed by SCE&G and the South Carolina Public Service Authority (Santee Cooper) to serve the Units.  In April 2011, the NRC issued the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Units on which the 404 Wetlands Permit is based.  Following issuance of the FEIS, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) placed the 404 Wetlands Permit on public notice in June 2011.  The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) requested a 15-day extension, followed by a request by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for an additional 30-day extension.  During the third quarter of 2011, SCE&G submitted responses to concerns provided by several resource agencies regarding the 401 Water Quality Certification.  The review period for these comments ended in October of 2011.  The final decision on the

 

9



 

401 Water Quality Certification by SCDHEC is anticipated in late 2011.  Once the 401 Water Quality Certification is issued, the ACOE will be in a position to make a final decision on the 404 Wetlands Permit for the project.

 

c)                                      Other Permits

 

On October 12, 2011, subsequent to this reporting period, the FERC issued SCE&G a License Amendment to the Federal Hydroelectric Project License for the Monticello and Parr Reservoirs (FERC Project 1894) to authorize withdrawal of cooling and other water for the Units from the Monticello Reservoir and to authorize other construction activities within the project boundaries of the reservoir.

 

3.                                      Base Load Review Act (BLRA) Regulatory Proceedings

 

In May 2011, the Commission issued Order No. 2011-345 approving the current updated capital cost schedules for the project.  On September 30, 2011, the Commission issued Order No. 2011-738 in Docket No. 2011-207-E which approved SCE&G’s third request for revised rates under the terms of the BLRA.  The total rate adjustment authorized was $52,783,342 and reflected an incremental investment by the Company in the Units of $436,725,000.

 

4.                                      Utility Facility Siting and Environmental Protection Act Proceedings

 

On October 27, 2011, the Commission held an evidentiary hearing under the terms of the Utility Facility Siting and Environmental Protection Act Proceedings (Siting Act) on SCE&G’s petition for a certificate of environmental compatibility and public convenience and necessity for construction of three transmission lines associated with the Units.  The lines in question are the VCS1 — Killian Line (Killian Line), the VCS2 — Lake Murray Line No. 2 (Lake Murray No. 2 Line), and that segment of the VCS2 — St. George No. 1 Line that runs between the plant site and the Lake Murray 230/115 kV substation (St. George Segment).

 

The Killian Line will be constructed to route power from Unit 2 to the northeastern area of the Columbia load center.  The Lake Murray No. 2 Line will be constructed to route power from Unit 2 to load centers in the Lake Murray and Lexington areas northwest of Columbia.  The St. George Segment is an initial

 

10



 

segment of one of two lines that will be built to route power from Unit 3 to the southern part of SCE&G transmission system north of Charleston.

 

The St. George Segment will be built on the same structures as the Lake Murray Line No. 2 and will serve as a temporary replacement for the VCS1 — Lake Murray Line No. 1 later in the construction plan when that line will be taken out of service, re-terminated at VCS Switchyard #2 and rebuilt on common structures with the St. George Line No. 2.  For reasons of construction efficiency and to support system reliability later in the construction plan, SCE&G intends to construct the St. George Segment at the same time it constructs the Lake Murray Line No. 2.

 

Two parties intervened in the siting proceeding for these lines.  Before the hearing commenced, SCE&G and the Town of Blythewood, South Carolina reached a settlement in which the Town agreed to support the application. Richland County, South Carolina, also intervened and presented testimony at the hearing.  ORS’s witness testified in support of issuance of the certificate.

 

B.                                    Engineering

 

1.                                      Engineering Completion Status

 

The V.C. Summer Units 2 & 3 Total Plant Design Completion Status is as follows:

 

a)              Site Specific Design — 82.8% complete

b)              Standard Plant Issued For Construction (IFC) Drawings —  28.5% complete

 

Standard Plant Design is essentially 100% complete and no longer tracked for reporting purposes.  IFC drawings are now being tracked in lieu of Certified for Construction (CFC) drawings, and include the information necessary for construction of specific structures, systems and components.

 

2.                                      Site Specific Design Activities

 

Shaw Engineering continues to perform Site Specific Design work to support Site Specific Systems, to include the Circulating Water System, Yard Fire System, Potable Water System, Raw Water System, Sanitary Drain System and Waste Water System.  Shaw has now turned Switchyard work over to its contractor, Pike Energy Solutions (Pike).

3.                                      Procurement/Fabrication

 

a)     In late 2010, Shaw Modular Solutions (SMS) placed all fabrication or rework activities related to the Units at its facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana on hold in order to evaluate and correct Quality Assurance (QA) issues.  A root cause investigation was conducted.  On January 10, 2011, the NRC was unable to complete a vendor inspection audit at SMS due to the lack of actual production work ongoing.  As a result, the NRC requested a plan of action from SMS addressing all issues identified since initiation of fabrication.  In response to the NRC’s request, SMS outlined corrective actions to elevate their QA program implementation to the level of effectiveness required for fabrication of AP1000 modules.  The Consortium reacted by increasing its Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) oversight and presence at the SMS facility.  At the same time SMS implemented a broad-based program for improving its quality control practices and procedures with emphasis on strengthening the nuclear safety culture at its facility.

 

Upon successful completion of the Shaw Nuclear Quality Assurance annual implementation audit in March 2011, SMS received approval to begin limited rework activities of floor sub-modules and to perform prototype and limited welding activities.  As a result of unresolved QA program issues noted during a surveillance conducted September 12-16, 2011, SMS issued a self-imposed hold on module fabrication in mid-October, subsequent to this reporting period.  However, this hold is related only to specific components fabricated earlier in the year (e.g., floor modules), and SMS is currently in full fabrication of other components.

 

CA20 is the module that includes the principal components of the fuel handling and fuel storage portion of the auxiliary building including the transfer canal and spent fuel pool.  The smaller sub-assemblies that will be welded together to form CA20 will be shipped to the site for assembly in the Module Assembly Building (MAB) on a support structure called the CA20 Platen.  Erection of the CA20 Platen within the MAB was completed in September of 2011.  Subassembly CA20-01 Prototypes 5 and 6 were received at the project site in October.  These are prototypes of the first subassemblies that will be incorporated into CA-20.  In November of 2011, subsequent to this reporting period, Prototypes 5 and 6 were erected on the CA20 Platen for training purposes and assembly and training activities are being conducted using them.

 

SMS has recently re-baselined the module fabrication and delivery schedule.  According to the latest module schedule, the on-hook date of the CA20 (i.e., the date by which fabrication is complete and the module is ready

 

12



 

to be lifted into place) is now October 2012.  This date is approximately 10 months later than the originally scheduled date for this activity.  The module schedule continues to be revised and optimized and is being coordinated with the overall schedule review taking place under Change Order No. 11.

 

b)     Ongoing issues identified by WEC in the production and fabrication of AP1000 components by its supplier, Mangiarotti (MN), and MN sub-suppliers continue to be an area of focus.  A number of plant components are involved and four BLRA milestones related to these components, specifically as indicated in Appendix 1, have been delayed by 12 to 14 months.  These delays are not expected to affect the substantial completion dates for either of the Units.  SCE&G and Consortium senior management travelled to the MN facility in September of 2011 to discuss the current status of VCS Units 2 & 3 project equipment with MN and to determine a path forward.  As a result of those discussions, increased emphasis has been placed on meeting production schedules, and additional WEC oversight resources have been placed at the MN facility.

 

c)     Endurance testing of the lead Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) began in April 2011, but was suspended to investigate unexpected temperature data in a localized area within the stator core.  A subsequent investigation was performed and resulted in design improvements to the motor to address the unexpected temperature data.  A Proof of Principal Test was then completed, and inspection results confirm that the improvements in design were successful.  A second Endurance Test will be performed once design changes are incorporated into production.  No delay in the site delivery of the V.C. Summer RCPs is anticipated.

 

d)     Reactor Coolant Loop (RCL) Piping for the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) being manufactured by Tioga has experienced delays in hot leg manufacturing primarily due to deviation in grain size.  A Root Cause Analysis (RCA) was initiated and received final approval by WEC.  A decision was made to remanufacture piping segments using new forgings or, in some cases, forgings made for Unit 3.  This will result in a delay to initial schedule delivery but is not expected to impact construction.  A manufacturing plan was implemented to address grain size issues, and WEC lifted the manufacturing hold on bending and heat treatment activities for Unit 2 piping manufacture.  A contingency plan is in place to accept piping with grain size larger than the current specification requirements should revised manufacturing techniques fail to achieve desired results.  One (1) BLRA milestone related to RCL piping, as indicated in Appendix 1, has now been delayed by 13 months, but this delay is not expected to affect the substantial completion dates for the Units.

 

13



 

e)     A Stop Work Order in effect for SPX, which manufactures Squib Valves for the Units, was lifted upon successful completion of a recent WEC audit.  No adverse impact to valve delivery to site is expected.

 

f)     Immediately following the March 2011 earthquake in Japan, the Consortium issued a Force Majeure letter informing SCE&G of possible effects to the schedule for major equipment being manufactured in locations that may have been impacted.  This equipment includes the Turbine Generator, Main Transformer, and Containment Vessel.  To date, however, no schedule impacts have been identified.  The Force Majeure previously in place has been lifted.  No impact to the project has been identified.

 

C.            Construction

 

1.             As previously reported, preconstruction Switchyard work was impacted due to weather delays, late issuance of documents for review, and delayed resolution of issues associated with design compliance to the approved Switchyard specifications.  Shaw has since taken action to correct these issues, and the Switchyard is on schedule to be energized in March 2013, a date which fully supports the project schedule.  Pike, the Switchyard contractor to Shaw, was given a Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) by SCE&G to begin a portion of the work in the second quarter of 2011, and an additional LNTP was issued in October, subsequent to this reporting period, for the remaining Switchyard work to be completed.

 

2.             Unit 3 excavation continues on schedule.  The top of bedrock was reached for the Nuclear Island at the beginning of October, and geologic mapping is nearing completion.  An NRC Geologic Inspection of the Unit 3 top of surface rock and the geologic mapping program was conducted October 4-7, 2011 subsequent to this reporting period, with favorable results.

 

3.             The MAB was completed, and the first floor sub-module from SMS was received on site in June 2011.  As indicated above, erection of the CA20 Platen was completed in September 2011.  The CA20-01 prototype (Prototype 5) was received at the project site and is being erected on the CA20 Platen for training purposes.

 

4.             Assembly of the Heavy Lift Derrick (HLD) carriage was completed in October, subsequent to this reporting period.  In addition, issues previously identified with the HLD foot castings have been resolved.  A new foot component is expected on site to support load testing of the HLD in January 2012, with a readiness date of February 2012.  As a result, an evaluation by Shaw of lift plans

to determine whether smaller cranes could handle the first series of lifts to be made after receipt of the COL has been placed on hold as not likely to be necessary.  However, this remains a focus area.

 

5.             Waterproof membrane testing for the SCE&G site was completed in September 2011, and selection by Shaw of a qualified installation subcontractor is in process.  Because the installation of the membrane is a critical path item for readiness to pour nuclear-safety related concrete, this continues to be an area of focus for the project.

 

6.             Testing of the first two safety-related concrete mix designs began in September 2011.  Efforts continue to accelerate the completion of testing and quality approvals to avoid delays in the placement of the first safety-related concrete in the Unit 2 nuclear island.  A qualified mix design is anticipated by the end of December 2011.

 

7.             In June 2011, Chicago Bridge & Iron (CB&I) was given an LNTP by SCE&G to allow buffing and grinding of the containment vessel bottom head, layout work and Nelson stud placement training. CB&I has made significant progress with this work and in late June was released by SCE&G to perform assembly of the containment vessel bottom head column studs and limited safety-related welding activities. Safety-related welding began in July 2011, and fabrication of the bottom head plates continues.

 

D.                                          Training

 

1.             Twelve training instructors for Units 2 & 3 began Instructor Simulator Training on September 12, 2011 at WEC in Cranberry, PA.  The training is progressing well, and will end in early December 2011.  A subsequent group of twelve will attend this training beginning January 9, 2012 and ending in April 2012, which will complete the WEC Senior Reactor Operator Certification training for SCE&G instructors.

 

2.             Potential schedule impacts to simulator delivery, testing, and subsequent certification of the Plant Reference Simulator (PRS) continue to be an area of focus.

 

Earlier in 2011, WEC informed SCE&G of a change in the schedule to conduct Integrated Systems Validation (ISV) testing on the Limited Scope Simulator (LSS) at WEC due to incomplete design inputs, procedures, and Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) that are to be incorporated in the LSS.  As a result of this change, the required ISV testing has been rescheduled to be completed on the PRS during the fourth quarter of 2013.  This delay in testing will

 

15



 

challenge the schedule to complete operating exams required on a PRS to license the necessary number of operators prior to fuel load. Discussions continue between SCE&G and the Consortium to determine a path forward that will support the training requirements of the project schedule.  This is an area of focus.

 

In preparation for receipt of the LSS, work recently began on the simulator rooms of the Nuclear Learning Center (NLC) Annex at Unit 1.  Completion of this construction is scheduled for the first quarter of 2012.  Delivery of hardware for the LSS began during the week of October 31, 2011 and will continue throughout the fourth quarter of 2011.  It is anticipated that the AP1000 simulators will be ready to begin use for training activities starting March 2012.

 

E.                                Change Control/Owners Cost Forecast

 

1.             The terms of Amendment No. 2 to the EPC Contract have been negotiated by SCE&G and WEC/SHAW and the amendment is expected to be signed in mid-November 2011.  Amendment No. 2 will incorporate Change Orders 3 and 5-11 into the body of the EPC Contract.

 

2.             As indicated above, in February 2011, SCE&G approved Change Order 11, which initiated a study to be conducted by WEC/Shaw to analyze potential impacts to the construction schedule due to the current schedule for receiving the COL.  The original study considered two scenarios.  One involved compressing the construction schedule to maintain the April 1, 2016 substantial completion date for Unit 2.  The other involved delaying that date by six months.  SCE&G subsequently requested that the study consider a third scenario, under which the substantial completion date of Unit 2 would be delayed by six months and the substantial completion date of Unit 3 would be accelerated to create construction efficiencies between the two units.  SCE&G is in negotiations with WEC/Shaw to determine the preferred approach.

 

F.                                      Transmission

 

1.             SCE&G’s Power Delivery group has resolved the routes for the four 230 kV transmission lines associated with the Units, i.e., the VCS1 — Killian Line (Unit 2), the VCS2 — Lake Murray Line No. 2 (Unit 2), and the VCS2 — St. George  No. 1 and No. 2 Lines (Unit 3).  These new lines will now occupy existing transmission ROW corridors except for a segment of approximately 6 miles of the VCS1-Killian Line that will be built on a new ROW.

 

16



 

2.             SCE&G commenced ROW acquisition on the Blythewood-Killian segment of the VCS1- Killian Line on March 22, 2011.  Of the 51 parcels involved, 29 have been acquired as of the end of October 2011.

 

3.             SCE&G and Pike signed an EPC contract on February 28, 2011, to provide for the permitting, engineering and design, procurement of material, and construction of the four lines needed to connect the Units to the grid. Pike is currently progressing with the design engineering on the VCS1-Killian 230 kV Line.  As to the VCS1-Winnsboro segment of this line, the material procurement process began in the third quarter of 2011 with initial deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2012.

 

4.             SCE&G has completed the Siting and Environmental Reports for the Unit 2 lines (VCS1-Killian 230 kV line and the VCS2-Lake Murray 230 kV Line No. 2, which includes a segment of the VCS2-St. George 230 kV Line No. 1) in support of the Commission application for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility & Public Convenience & Necessity.  SCE&G filed this application with the Commission on August 9, 2011. As discussed above, the PSC hearing on this application was held on October 27, 2011.

 

5.             SCE&G anticipates filing a separate Commission application for the Unit 3 lines (VCS2-St. George 230 kV Lines No. 1 & 2, excluding the segment of the No. 1 line filed with the Unit 2 lines).

 

G.                                                Agreement with Santee Cooper

 

In October of 2011, SCE&G and its co-owner in the project, Santee Cooper, executed the permanent construction and operating agreements, which will govern the construction and operation of the new nuclear facilities.  Under these agreements, SCE&G will have primary responsibility for oversight of the construction of the units and will be responsible for the operation of the units as they come on line.

 

III.           Anticipated Construction Schedules

 

As of September 30, 2011, the Company and its contractors remain on schedule to complete all required milestones as adjusted pursuant to the milestone schedule contingencies approved by the Commission in Order No. 2009-104(A).  Each of those adjustments is itemized in the BLRA Milestone section that follows.  Accordingly, the project is in compliance with the construction schedules approved by the Commission in Order No. 2010-12 and with the provisions of S.C. Code Ann. § 58-33-275(A)(1).

 

17



 

A.                                    Construction Schedule

 

The Project Licensing and Permitting, Engineering, Procurement and Construction work remains on schedule to meet the Units’ Substantial Completion dates taking into account the schedule contingencies approved in Order 2009-104(A).  Rescheduling of the milestones is addressed in Section III.B.  The rescheduling of these milestones is within the approved schedule contingencies and has no adverse impact on the Units’ Substantial Completion dates.

 

B.                                    BLRA Milestones

 

Appendix 1 to this quarterly report lists and updates each of the specific milestones constituting the anticipated construction schedule for the Units pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 58-33-270(B)(1) and Order No. 2010-12.  Comparing the milestone dates in this quarter to the reset milestone dates in Order No. 2010-12, 30 milestones have been advanced and 44 have been delayed.  None of the reset milestones are outside of the parameters established by Order No. 2009-104(A).

 

IV.        Schedules of the Capital Costs Incurred Including Updates to the Information Required by S.C. Code Ann. § 58-33-270(B)(6) (the Inflation Indices)

 

The Capital Cost section of this report (Section IV.A) provides an update of the cumulative capital costs incurred and forecasted to be incurred in completing the project.  These costs are compared to the cumulative capital cost targets approved by the Commission in Order No. 2011-345.  The approved capital cost targets have been adjusted to reflect the currently reported historical escalation rates.  There has not been any use by the Company of the capital cost timing contingencies that were approved by the Commission in Order No. 2009-104(A).  The Inflation Indices section (Section IV.B) of this report provides updated information on inflation indices and the changes in them.

 

A.            Capital Costs

 

Appendix 2 shows the Cumulative Project Cash Flow target as approved in Order No. 2011-345 and as updated for escalation and other Commission approved adjustments under the heading “Per Order 2011-345 Adjusted.”

 

Appendix 2 also shows the cumulative cash flow for the project based on actual expenditures to date and the Company’s current forecast of cost and construction schedule under the heading “Actual through September 2011, plus Projected.”

 

As shown on Appendix 2, the actual expenditure for the project during the 12 months ended December 31, 2010 is approximately $399 million.  As shown on Appendix 2, line 39, the cumulative amount projected to be spent on the project as of

 

18



 

December 31, 2011 is $1.261 billion. As shown on Appendix 2, line 18, the Cumulative Project Cash Flow target approved by the Commission for year-end 2011 adjusted for current escalation and WEC/Shaw billing differences is $1.343 billion.  As a result, the cumulative cash flow at year-end 2011 is forecasted to be approximately $82 million less than the target.

 

For comparison purposes, Appendix 3 sets out the cash flow schedule for the project as it was approved in Order No. 2011-345. Appendix 3 does not include any adjustments to the cash flow schedule for changes in inflation indices or adjustments in capital cost schedules made by the Company.  The AFUDC forecast presented on Appendix 3 is the AFUDC forecast that was current at the time of Order No. 2011-345.

 

B.            Inflation Indices

 

Appendix 4 shows the updated inflation indices approved in Order No. 2009-104(A).  Included is a history of the annual Handy Whitman All Steam Index, South Atlantic Region; the Handy Whitman All Steam and Nuclear Index, South Atlantic Region; the Handy Whitman All Transmission Plant Index, South Atlantic Region; and the Chained GDP Index for the past 10 years.  The changes in these indices and the escalation-related effects of cost rescheduling resulted in a decrease in the projected cost of the Units in future dollars from $5.8 billion as forecast in Order No. 2011-345 to a forecast of $5.6 billion using current inflation data.

 

V.                                    Updated Schedule of Anticipated Capital Costs

 

The updated schedule of anticipated capital costs for Units 2 & 3 is reflected in Appendix 2.

 

VI.                                Conclusion

 

As indicated above, the scheduled completion dates for Units 2 & 3 remain unchanged.  The Units are on track to be completed within the approved cost of $4.3 billion in 2007 dollars.  The Company maintains an extensive staff of experts that monitors and oversees the work of its contractors and has identified and continues to monitor closely all areas of concern related to either cost or schedule for the project.  The Company will continue to update the Commission and ORS of progress and concerns as the project proceeds.

APPENDIX 2

 

V. C. Summer Nuclear Station Units 2 & 3

 

Quarterly Report to the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff

Submitted by South Carolina Electric & Gas Company

Pursuant to Public Service Commission Order No. 2009-104(A)

 

Quarter Ending September 30, 2011

 

Appendix 2 is an updated and expanded version of the information contained in the capital cost schedule approved by the Commission in Order No. 2011-345.

 

Appendix 2 shows:

 

1.                                     The actual expenditures on the project by plant cost category through the current period.

2.                                     The changes in capital costs reflecting the Company’s current forecast of expenditures on the project for each future period by plant cost category.  In updating its cost projections the Company has used the current construction schedule for the project and the Commission-approved inflation indices as set forth in Appendix 4 to this report.

3.                                     The cumulative CWIP for the project and the balance of CWIP that is not yet reflected in revised rates.

4.                                     The current rate for calculating AFUDC computed as required under applicable FERC regulations.

 

The Cumulative Project Cash Flow target as approved in Order No. 2011-345 and as updated for escalation and other Commission-approved adjustments is found under the heading “Per Order 2011-345 Adjusted.”  The adjustments reflect:

 

1.                                     Changes in inflation indices.

2.                                     Budget Carry-Forward Adjustments used, where appropriate to track the effect of lower-than-expected cumulative costs on the future cumulative cash flow of the project.

 

Appendix 2 also shows the cumulative cash flow for the project based on actual expenditures to date and the current construction schedule and forecast of year-by-year cost and going forward.  This information is found under the heading “Actual through September 2011, plus Projected.”

Pursuant to Public Service Commission Order No. 2009-104(A)

 

Quarter Ending September 30, 2011

 

For comparison purposes, Appendix 3 provides the schedule of capital costs for the project which was approved by the Commission in Order No. 2011-345 as the Approved Capital Cost of the Units, pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 58-33-270(B)(2). Appendix 3 also reflects the forecast of AFUDC expense based on these adjusted schedules and the AFUDC rates that were current at the time of Order No. 2011-345.  Appendix 3 is intended to provide a fixed point of reference for future revisions and updating.  While the schedule of costs contained on Appendix 3 is subject to revision for escalation, changes in AFUDC rates and amounts, capital cost scheduling contingencies and other contingency adjustments as authorized in Order No. 2009-104(A), no such adjustments have been made to the schedules presented here.
