  2. Agenda • FPL Energy • Gray County Wind Energy Center • Definitions • Wind Integration Keys • Current SPP Market • SPP Market Recommendations

  3. FPL Energy is the nation’s No. 1 producer of wind power FPL Energy • Leading clean energy provider in 25 states • More than 90% of energy portfolio from clean fuels • Nation's leader in wind energy generation • Over 6,000MW of installed wind energy capacity by year end 2008 • 56 operating wind facilities in 16 states • World’s No. 1 producer of solar energy FPL Energy has a record of clean energy leadership

  4. Operating Under construction (as of 4/30/08) FPL Energy’s US leading wind power portfolio includes 56 wind facilities in operation in 16 states FPL Energy’s Wind Portfolio Langdon Stateline Wilton North Dakota WPP93 Oliver I & II Vansycle Montfort South Dakota Waymart Mower Lake Benton II Mill Run Endeavor Wyoming Diablo Wind WPP90 WPP91 WPP91-92 WPP92 Green Ridge Green Mountain Crystal Lake High Winds Hancock Story County Peetz Table Cerro Gordo Somerset Meyersdale Logan Mountaineer Gray County Mojave 3 & 5 Mojave 16/17/18 Sky River TPC Victory Garden Oklahoma New Mexico WPP93 Weatherford Wolf Ridge Cabazon WPP94 Red Canyon Green Power Callahan Divide Delaware Mt.

  5. FPL Energy’s Gray County Wind Energy Center wasthe 1st utility-scale wind facility in Kansas Gray County Wind Energy Center • 112.2MW nameplate capacity • 170 turbines, 660 kW per unit • Operating since November 2001

  6. FPL Energy uses a state-of-the-art central monitoring center to ensure reliable wind facility operations Operational Excellence • Leverage corporate-wide knowledge base • Efficiencies • Cost reduction • Monitor critical parameters in real-time • Uses advanced technology to detect and prevent failure • Interface with system operators Fleet Performance Diagnostics Center

  7. Net capacity factor is an indicator of wind resource Definitions • Nameplate capacity (MW): full power output • Net capacity factor (NCF): ratio of electric energy generated in a given period to the maximum possible • Wind resource is the key component • Kansas has excellent wind resource • Current turbine technology produces 35-45% NCF in Kansas Kansas has excellent wind resource *Source: http://www.awea.org

  8. System balancing authorities are able to integrate wind, accommodate its variable nature and reduce costs Wind Integration Key Components • Market structure • Transmission system capability • Ancillary services and cost allocation • Wind forecasting Average wind integration costs are below $10/MWh *Source: DOE Annual Report on U.S. Wind Power Installation, Cost, and Performance Trends: 2007

  9. SPP expects to transition to a nodal market by 2012 Current SPP Market • Bilateral • SPP ancillary service market needs reform to be wind-friendly • Transmission infrastructure necessary To grow wind investment in Kansas, SPP market rule reform is needed *Source: SPP Strategic Plan; Oct 24, 2006

  10. Substational new wind development in SPP requires market changes Market Recommendations • Implement nodal market structure • Ensure wind facilities can interconnect to system • Provide transmission capability to transfer wind power from best wind resource areas to load • Enable wind power grid integration through ancillary service reform • Encourage SPP best practices wind forecasting capability New wind development is heavily dependent on the evolution of the SPP market and transmission system expansion *Source: SPP State of the Market Report, Apr 24, 2008
