           Catawba Nuclear Station.

         The Claimant is nearing  completion of the Lincoln  Combustion  Turbine
Station,  a 16-turbine  facility designed to provide capacity at periods of peak
demand.  The station will have a total  generating  capacity of 1,200 megawatts.
Twelve of the sixteen units were placed into  commercial  operation in 1995, and
the remaining  four units are scheduled to begin  commercial  operation in 1996.
The facility is designed to operate on either natural gas or oil.
         In addition to the electric  generating  plants  described  above,  the
Claimant owned, as of December 31, 1995,  approximately 8,300 conductor miles of
transmission  lines,  including  600  conductor  miles of 500  kilovolts,  1,400
conductor miles of 220 kilovolts,  3,400  conductor miles of 100 kilovolts,  and
2,900 conductor miles of 13 - 66 kilovolts.

         The Claimant also owned, as of December 31, 1995,  approximately 73,500
conductor miles of distribution lines, including 47,000 conductor miles of rural
overhead lines,  14,600 conductor miles of urban overhead lines, 6,700 conductor
miles of rural  underground lines and 5,200 conductor miles of urban underground

         As of such date, the Claimant's  transmission and distribution  systems
comprised approximately 1,600 substations with an installed transformer capacity
of approximately 84,200,000 kVA.
         NP&L's generation  facilities  consist of eleven  hydroelectric  plants
with an  aggregate  nameplate  capacity  of  approximately  100 MW.  Duke  Power
supplies all of NP&L's  supplemental  power needs from Duke Power's  Tuckaseegee
Substation near NP&L's Thorpe Plant. NP&L also has an  interconnection of 161 kV
with the Tennessee  Valley  Authority (TVA) at Santeetlah,  North Carolina.  The
transmission  backbone  of  the  NP&L  system  is a  161  kV  line  from  Duke's
Tuckaseegee  Substation  to the  interconnection  with TVA at  Santeetlah,  with
Nantahala  substations at Robbinsville,  Nantahala Plant, Oak Grove, Webster and
