Update

Update: I was finally able to get better employee n umbers – currently there are about 435 employees a t the plant. After the decommissioning the number of emp loyees will go down about 40% or so. It is higher t han the ratio I gave below because it takes additional empl oyees to manage 3 units. Anyway, you also have to account for the employees at the mine once we reduce the am ount of fuel we purchase.

The reduction in the use of coal will be about 2.7 million tons in 2013 after we close Units 1-3. The obvious economic loss is the royalty paid to the tribe for each ton of coal. Unfortunately the price we pay pe r ton is confidential and the royalty is based upon the pric e.

...I can’t give you exact numbers for the workforce is sue but I think you would not be far off to calcula te the

number by recognizing Units 1-3 as about 1⁄4 of the p lant MWs. The current work force is about 400 empl oyees.

Thanks, Ed. If you can give me the numbers that yo u shared with Navajo, that would be great. We are developing our own numbers so I'm just checking to make sure they are consistent with estimates that N avajo might have heard from APS. If they are way off we need to do more work. Thanks!

Subject: Your question

Colleen – as we discussed this morning, the informa tion we’ve given the Navajo Nation with regard to t he economics of closing Units 1-3 at the Four Corners Power Plant r elates to the number of employees and the reduced r oyalties from the amount of coal that will be needed by the plant. D o you need exact numbers? I do not believe we have made the exact numbers public.
