  1. U.S. Nuclear Plant Performance Improvement Driven by Competition Sue Wallace Vice President, Management Projects Exelon Generation October 7, 2008 Data sources: Energy Information Administration, Electric Utility Cost Group, Nuclear Energy Institute, NRC. Capacity factor data includes all 103 units operating in 2006 and 2007; for production cost, 8 units which did not report costs for the relevant time periods are excluded. “Competitive” includes plants in states with restructured competitive generation markets. “Cost-based” includes all other states. All data is based on two-year plant averages.

  2. Nuclear Plants in Restructured State Jurisdictions Out-Perform in Production Good Competition has sharpened focus on performance

  3. Nuclear Plants in Restructured State Jurisdictions Operate at Lower Average Costs Good Nuclear production costs in restructured states are now lower. Traditionally regulated states have seen cost increases

  4. Nuclear Plants Sold to Merchant Fleet Operators Perform Better than Average Good Market discipline sharpens performance
