Renewable Resources - Energy Efficiency

During 1995, the Company refocused its energy-management efforts on "lost opportunity" programs. At the same time, it introduced an approach to use energy-efficiency more strategically in areas where the capacity of the electrical distribution system is approaching its limit. One result of these new efforts is that efficiency programs provide more immediate economic benefits and offer a better balance between long-and short-term savings.

<P><I> </I>Overall in 1995, the Company's energy-management programs led to
the installation of efficiency measures that saved 9,103 megawatthours of
electricity, 14 percent above targeted savings for the year. The Company's
energy-management programs continue to  be an important, clean resource, and
during the past four years, efficiency programs have reduced GMP's peak demand
by 13 megawatts.</P>
