1 US Energy What's next... and beyond? September 2013

2 What will shape US energy policy? Technologies Maturity, costs Security of supply oil imports Environmental target GHG, SOx, NOx.. Availability of resources Oil, gas, wind, solar... Competitive dynamic Who can invest Overall competitiveness Direct energy costs, cost of living Costs to rate payers - Power, natural gas, fuel Jobs (green or not) new investment, operations, fuel value chain Columbia SIP Sept 2013 vsent.pptx 1

3 What's the starting point emissions? Mt CO2 eq 7,000 CO2 Energy emissions USA +21% +11% 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 31% 2,000 38% Industry Transportation Electricity generation 1, Source:Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas / EPA Columbia SIP Sept 2013 vsent.pptx 2 33% 41%

4 What's the starting point energy independence? Quadrillion Btu Total US energy consumption and production % Consumption 30% 16% 60 Import Source: EIA AEO Columbia SIP Sept 2013 vsent.pptx 3

5 Where will the US be in 2030? Low Beyond: 2050 Long term: 2030 CO2 intensity High Mid term : 2020 Today Medium? Energy independence High Columbia SIP Sept 2013 vsent.pptx 4

8 When can renewable be a meaningful part of the solution? Average electricity price for households in 2012 in $/kwh 0.25 HI Iso-LCOE curves at a PV system price 1 of AK 1400 VT MA Generation capacity in GW (2010) NH NY CT RI MI 1600 OH NJ WI WV IN KY ME PA DE MD SC AL MN TN WA MT SD IL IA NC GA ND ID AR LA MS MO OR 1800 Residential grid parity by 2017 at current electricity prices KS OK WY NE 1. For 10kWp roof-mounted system; electrical storage not included, year end prices; does not account for accelerated depreciation benefit Note: Assumptions: Performance ratio of PV system 85%; lifetime 20 years; discount rate 5%; annual OPEX as percentage of initial CAPEX 1%; assumed electric prices grow at inflation Source: Solar Electricity Handbook (online); IEA Electricity Information 2011; LBNL; NREL database; BCG analysis Columbia SIP Sept 2013 vsent.pptx 7 FL 2000 CO TX UT 2200 CA AZ NM NV Solar irradiation on optimally inclined plane in kwh/m 2 /year 4.50 $/Wp (2012) 3.20 $/Wp (2012 w/ 30% ITC) 2.50 $/Wp (2017) 2.25 $/Wp (2017 w/ 10% ITC)

9 What about Natural Gas? Gigatonnes of CO 2 caused by electricity generation 3 2 Today Year BAU Gas Low emissions 1. Natural Gas heavy generation portfolio constructed from maintaining current share of nuclear and renewable generation and replacing all other generation with natural gas Columbia SIP Sept 2013 vsent.pptx 8
