1 GE Energy A Global View of Sustainable Energy and Deregulation Eric Gebhardt April 2008

2 Global trends Population Consumption Energy security Environment Create big challenges 2

3 2008

4 2030

5 And the challenges drive the technology High fuel prices require higher efficiency Energy security requires more diverse solutions More stringent environmental standards require lower emissions, increased use of renewables and nuclear 5

6 Global energy drivers diversity is key South East Asia High economic growth driving power additions Fuel supply security and environmental challenges driving diversity and renewables China 2X increase in installed capacity by %+ of world s additions India Government committed power to all by 2009 Middle East Massive oil & gas infrastructure investments National companies will exercise more influence Europe Gas and oil prices up 2X over two years Import dependency forecast to rise to 70% by 2030 Overall Environmental/security concerns everywhere Forward fuel costs high and volatile Core industry investments following low fuel costs 6

25 Recent Renewable Integration Studies

26 Client: (North East United States) Study Objectives Reliability implications of increased wind generation, up to MW Screening for project viability Operation feasibility, forecasting, and regulation Study Findings Feasibility of 3300 MW of new Wind capacity, without major infrastructure changes Requirements for wind farm performance needs & interconnection requirements 26

27 Client: (Western United States) Study Objectives Comprehensive assessment of high penetration of Renewables in the State Multi-scenario analysis over period, (5% to 25% wind, based on peak load) Study Findings Feasibility of 33% (energy) renewable integration, by 2020 Feasibility of new capacity additions: 10GW of wind, 5GW solar, 3GW geothermal, and 2GW of biomass Changes to operating practices for compatibility with Wind & Solar additions 27

28 Deregulation

29 Defining Deregulation Market Market Restructuring: Introducing Competition & Separating Industry Functions Deregulation/ Liberalization: Increases reliance on market forces Market Privatization: Transferring Ownership Market 29

30 Deregulation Implications Developed Countries Capture value of system inefficiencies Power Prices Deregulation Drivers Developing Countries Attract foreign investment Power Prices 30

31 Status of Deregulation World Wide No Data Open Markets 31

32 Status of Privatization World Wide No Data Assets in Private Sector 32

33 The road ahead Accelerate diverse technology investment Actively participate in energy policy process Develop the next generation of Energy Engineers Educate key stakeholders about energy issues, cost and tradeoffs Anticipate and lead change, rather than just survive it 33
