4 Attractive Power Rates The U.S. average residential retail price of electricity was cents per kilowatt-hour in 2010 Residential Average Price (cents per kwh) Kentucky 7.19 Tennessee 7.79 Georgia 9.07 South Carolina 9.18 Alabama 9.24 North Carolina 9.35 Mississippi 9.40 Florida United States average Managed by UT-Battelle

5 Desirable Climate Climate Average Annual Temperature for Each State State F C Rank Florida Georgia Mississippi Alabama South Carolina North Carolina Tennessee Kentucky Average annual temperature for each state 5 Managed by UT-Battelle

6 Low Cost of Living The numbers indicate a state s ranking as compared to other states, in terms of cost of living. The cost of living helps drive the cost of doing business. From housing to food and energy, wages go further where the cost of living is low. Cost of Living State 2010 Rank Tennessee 1 Kentucky 3 Georgia 9 Alabama 11 Mississippi 13 North Carolina 23 South Carolina 24 Florida Managed by UT-Battelle

Clemson University NC Research Triangle Vanderbilt University Tennessee Valley Authority... and too many more to name 8 Managed by UT-Battelle

9 Effective Workforce Workforce 2011 Many states point with great pride to the quality and availability of their workers, as well as government sponsored programs to train them. We rated states based on the education level of their workforce, as well as the number of available workers. We also considered union membership. While organized labor contends that a union workforce is a quality workforce, that argument, more often than not, doesn t resonate with business. We also looked at the relative success of each state s worker training programs in placing their participants in jobs.

15 National Energy Consumption Highlighting Commercial and Residential Buildings 41% Commercial and residential buildings make up 41% of energy consumption in the United States. Commercial buildings include hospitals, restaurants, offices, stores and schools. National Education Energy Development, 15 Managed by UT-Battelle

16 Southeast Percentage of US Total Population Energy Use Housing Units Energy includes coal, natural gas, petroleum, conventional hydroelectric power, biomass, geothermal, solar thermal and photovoltaic, wind energy, nuclear electric power and renewable energy. Includes energy consumed by residential, commercial, industrial and transportation sectors. United States Energy Information Administration, *A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms or a single room that is occupied as a separate living quarter. 16 Managed by UT-Battelle U.S. Census Bureau.

17 Building Energy Efficiency..... with buildings consuming 40% of the energy, if this were equated to electrical consumption,..... a 30% reduction in energy use in half the Southeast buildings would create a 7000 MW average reduction in power demand at a residential/commercial/municipal savings of $6 billion (at 10 cents/kwh) 17 Managed by UT-Battelle
