    Grant,

    Attached is a spreadsheet that shows the last 10 years data for the Asheville Skyland Coal Plant,

    detailing annual MWH general and annual tons of coal burned.

    In addition, I have determined that in 2010, PECs (Progress Energy Corporation) total systemnet generation was 58,188,728 MWH. In comparison, 2011 total system net generation was

    54,105,081 MWH, for a year over year reduction of 4,083,647 MWH. Of this difference,

    additional off-system purchases made up only 549,921 MWH, so there was still a net reduction

    of 3,533,726 MWH for the PEC system year over year. This net reduction is tied primarily to

    milder weather in 2011 vs. 2010.

    Coal generation declined by 6,176,012 MWH year over year, while nuclear generation increased

    by 3,557,991 MWH and natural gas combined cycle generation increased by 2,455,325 MWH.

    The increase in nuclear generation was the result of the Robinson nuclear plant returning tomore normal operation in 2011 after a series of outages in 2010. The increase in natural gas

    combined cycle generation was the result of a decline in natural gas prices in 2011 vs. 2010 and

    an increase in generating capacity, as a 2nd natural gas combined cycle unit was brought online

    in June of 2011, increasing capacity from 586 MW to approximately 1,242 MW of natural gas

    combined cycle generation at PECs Sherwood H. Smith Energy Complex in Richmond County,

    NC.

    state-wide coal consumption, but our recent conversations have focused on the above and

    attached data, however, so that is where I have devoted my efforts. Please advise if you still

    want the other information.
