    1. REMA CEO’s Conference September 9, 2010 Electric Utility Challenges by William L. Berg, President and CEO

    2. Electric Utility Challenges Are We Going to be Able to Manage Them?

    3. Electric Utility Challenges Environmental Generation Transmission Renewables Energy Efficiency Costs

    4. Environmental - Generation Ambient Air Quality Standards PM2.5, SO2, NOx, Ozone Transport Rule Replaces CAIR (SOx, NOx) Recently proposed, finalized 2011 Less (or no) reliance on trading Effective 2012 and 2014 State role in implementation Scrubber + SCR? This is only Phase 1… Phase 2 is coming

    5. Environmental - Generation Electric Generation Unit (EGU) MACT Hg and acid gases (Hazardous Air Pollutants) Rule expected 2011, effective 2014? Replaces CAMR Activated charcoal + scrubber/DSI

    6. Environmental - Generation Coal Combustion Residuals 2 alternative proposals (Subtitle C or D) Eliminates or restricts ash ponds Exemption for beneficial re-use Recently proposed, effective 2011 Once-Thru-Cooling Thermal (316a) Impingement and entrainment (316b)

    7. Greenhouse Gas Legislative Dead for the session? EPA Endangerment, tailoring… BACT Jan. 2011: plants subject to PSD, + 75k T/yr. July 2011: new or modified projects, +100k T/yr. Congressional pressure?

    8. Environmental - Transmission It Keeps Getting Harder Turtle Fences, Washing Stations and What is a Wetland…

    9. Protection Protocols 1) Time of Year 2) Exclusionary devices

    10. Rules and Regulations Reasonable Precautions – Actions that prevent or minimize the transport, and introduction of invasive species

    12. Renewables Cost Load Following Transmission

    13. Energy Efficiency Cost Effective Low Diminishing Return Spend More, Sell Less = Higher Rates Funding the Balance

    14. Costs Are We Entering a New Era of Costs and Pricing? Timing is Everything

    15. Questions
