6 Market Price Forecasts Market prices are a fundamental driver in planning and budgeting Like all utilities, Platte River makes operating decisions based on observed market prices

7 Influences on Platte River Market Prices Ideally, price forecasts would be obtained from a third-party Platte River s market (Ault) is unique Size and volume Location PV and Mid-C influence Platte River s local market But do not completely define the market COB NP-15 Mid-C SP-15 Mead PV Western US Power Hubs Platte River Four-Corners ERCOT

8 Price Curve Development Platte River made a basis adjustment to build an appropriate market price Palo Verde Mid-C Basis Monthly forward price inputs from Argus Overall contribution determined from statistical analysis of historical data Monthly forward price inputs from Argus Overall contribution determined from statistical analysis of historical data Determined by comparing Platte River s historical transactions to predicted values Platte River s historical transactions are used to produce an hourly shape for modeling

9 Price Curve Development Moving forward: An adjustment is required to help the drivers more closely correlate to Platte River s actual market transactions Planning will provide +/- 10% as standard cases around the adjusted base case (ABC) High Case (ABC +10%) PV / Mid-C Baseline Market Basis Adjustment Adjusted Base Case (ABC) Low Case (ABC -10%)

10 $/MWh 2016 Back-Testing $35 $30 $25 $20 $15 $10 $5 $0 -$5 -$10 Actual Platte River Transactions PV / Mid-C Baseline Average Difference ~13% Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 2017 Market Price of Power Preliminary Budget $25.30 Diff from Prelim.
