Ginna Plant Hits Major Milestone

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Rochester Gas and 
Electric Corp.'s (NYSE: RGS - news) Ginna nuclear plant recently 
passed a major service milestone by generating its 100 billionth 
kilowatt-hour of electricity.  

That's enough energy to supply every residence in New York State 
for about four years.

Ginna went into commercial operation in 1970. It reached the 100 
billion kilowatt-hour mark on Nov. 26. A kilowatt-hour is the amount 
of electricity it takes to power a 100-watt lightbulb for 10 hours.  

Ginna was built in three years in the late 1960s for $88 million.

The plant meets about 50 percent of RG&E's customer demand. It 
is located in the Town of Ontario, Wayne County, about 20 miles 
east of Rochester.  

RG&E serves 344,000 electric and 289,000 gas customers in nine-
county region of Upstate New York. It is a division of RGS Energy 
Group, Inc.
