28 POWER MARKET IMPLICATIONS 28

29 COAL RETIREMENTS OF 60 GW PROJECTED BY 2020 Near-term retirements are driven by MATS compliance 29

30 NATURAL GAS-FUELED GENERATION WILL CONTINUE TO GROW Power sector demand for gas expected to grow 3.1% annually More than 348,000 MW of new capacity expected before 2038 Technology advances in combined cycle with advances in combustion turbine technology Emporia Energy Center - Kansas Coal retirements and decline in regional reserve margins will drive continued capacity growth 30

31 ECONOMY, GAS PRICES SLOW NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT Deferrals and cancellations of new units to continue Utilities will work to get the most of existing units with up-rates Increasing regulatory compliance, and Fukushima related safety costs Continued economic challenges for smaller nuclear plants Black & Veatch forecasts a decline in nuclear resources over the next 25 years Refueling Nuclear Reactor In the near-term, budget deficit and waste disposal concerns limit federal loan guarantee programs 31

34 THE CHANGING U.S. ENERGY GENERATION MIX Energy Market Perspective: 2014 Energy Market Outlook 21 January Generation Mix (GWh)

35 INDUSTRY TRENDS West County Energy Center Florida Reliability, environmental regulation and economic regulation are the top issues Electric power pricing will increasingly be tied to natural gas prices as natural gas evolves into the predominant fuel for generation Coal will continue its significant role in resource mix, even with the anticipated 60 GW retirement of smaller, older plants Continued economic challenges for smaller nuclear plants Increased focus on electric grid and natural gas infrastructure network reliability 35
