Unit 2 In Service Current construction schedule indicates the in-service: For Unit 2 likely ranges from Q4 2017 Q1 2018 Similar delay for Unit 3 or roughly 12 months after Unit 2 Previous In Service Date March 2017 Unit 2 2009 24 Months 18 Months September 2018 Current In-Service Estimate Current PSC Approved Schedule Current PSC Approved Schedule As the Company indicated in the Q4 BLRA filing, the Consortium is currently re-baselining the Unit 2 and Unit 3 construction schedule. Updated construction schedule expected in Q3 of 2014. While we do not have a rebaselined schedule with a specific in-service date, we believe, based on discussions with the Consortium, the range for Unit 2 will be within the 18-month PSC allowed construction contingency. 3
