5 WABAC Machine - My first day of work % 48% 50% Nuclear Coal Hydro & Oil Using the system designed and built in the 1960s and 1970s Bill Lee one of the innovators End of Nuclear Expansion period Most complex machine ever built by man Eastern Interconnection of North America 5

6 Does anyone remember the WABAC machine? Top 10 Customers All textile companies All headquartered in our service territory Duke Power was formed in part to service this load System Operations Energy Management System My first job System Applications SCADA Alarming Economic Dispatch Load Forecasting peak load approx. 14,000 MWs Summer peaking Growing 4% to 5% annually Advanced applications well sort of. 6

7 Fast forward to 2018 through the Guardian of Forever. Load is low growth/flat to declining Nuclear in a standstill VC Summer in South Carolina Vogtle in Georgia Environmental concerns about carbon emissions and by-products from coal combustion Natural gas supply increases and diversifies Cost of renewable technology down, supply up 7

8 Fast forward to 2018 Live Long and Prosper. Very few textile customers left with significant load High Tech/Data Center/Bitcoin Customers Low Tolerance for interruptions/transients Desire to be good environmental stewards Energy Control Centers (ECCs) State of the art visualization and situational awareness tools Using and depending on advance power system applications daily Engineers on shift 8
