7 Seizing First Mover Advantage Across The Technological Spectrum 7
8 Repowering Current Dynamic Fundamentals say Build but.. 1. Tight reserve margins 2. Aging fleet/pending retirements 3. Chronically high & volatile natural gas prices 4. Renewable Portfolio Standards 5. Access to capital 6. Access to long-term offtake 7. Competitive advantage of Repowerings over Greenfield development Externalities create Ambiguity 1. Uncertain carbon endgame 2. Increased environmental pressure 3. Surging equipment/epc costs 4. Regulatory unrest around newbuilds, PPA s and market mechanisms 5. Forward price curves do not, themselves, provide right price signal 8
9 Trends in Power Generation: Top 10 Industry Dynamics Six months ago.. 1. Consolidation no more utility mega-mergers 2. Credit comfortable at Junk 3. Locational Capacity Markets get implemented 4. Reserve Margins ever tighter 5. Summer Gas withdrawals 6. TXU/NRG New Builds avoiding the Seven Sins 7. PPAs Not whether but how 8. Carbon 9.

11 Three-Pronged Assault on GHG Emissions 1 New Nuclear Displaces carbonintensive coal-fired (baseload) generation Effective implementation of Energy Policy Act (2005) New legislation to add a first wave to first past the post 2 Carbon out of Coal Pre-combustion (new generation) Post-combustion (existing generation) Federal support for 5-6 IGCC projects Federal-State CCS scheme R&D support for carbon capture technologies 3 Carbon Emissions need a price Private sector-driven technological innovation requires a price signal Federal pre-emption Cap-and-trade with step up safety valve Allocation & Auction Concentrate the Focus/ Move the Needle 11
12 NRG s Low Carb Line-up RepoweringNRG is a fundamental component of our carbon strategy 12
13 NRG s Low/No Carbon Lineup PADOMA WIND POWER NRG wind team Padoma Wind Power focused on projects across the nation. Plan to develop over 500MW by the beginning of the next decade. IGCC (Gasified Coal) Convert coal to synthesis gas via partial oxidation; Removes pollutants from gas prior to combustion Removes 95% of SO2, NOx and 65% of CO2 with carbon capture and sequestration. ALGAE BIOREACTOR PLASMA Teaming with GreenFuel Technologies to research viability of CO2 capture and storage. Algae photosynthesis absorbs CO2 in flue gas; High energy biomass removed and can be used as alternative fuel source. Plasma torches break coal down into its molecular structure to become synthetic gas; similar emissions profile to IGCC. Can be used on smaller plants that might not otherwise be retrofitted 13
14 RepoweringNRG by Technology Repowering NRG % Contribution by Technology 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% # of Projects MW MWh Invested Capital Avoided CO2 STP 3-4 IGCC Wind Gas Coal STP 3&4 is the flagship for RepoweringNRG 14
15 New Nuclear: The Opportunity Why ERCOT Market? 1. High (baseload) demand growth 2. Well-functioning, highly liquid wholesale market 3. Single price auction system with gas on margin majority of time 4. Availability of skilled labor 5. Widespread political support 6. Big offtake customers with large appetite for baseload power 7. Existing NRG fleet can provide back-up support Why STP Site? 1. One of only two existing nuclear facilities in state 2. Enormous footprint 3. Common facilities (particularly reservoir) already designed for four units 4. Ready access by barge and rail 5. Widespread public support 6. Open space and access to local Houston load center 7. Top quality operations STP site in ERCOT is ideal location for new nuclear unit 15
16 New Nuclear: The Risks (Remembering the 1970s -1980s) Risk 1. Regulatory 2. Merchant 3. Political 4. Financing 5. Completion/Performance Mitigation -COLA process -Standby Support -Long-term offtake agreements -Production tax credits -State action -Local involvement -Loan guarantee program -U.S./Japan Cooperation - Turnkey contract with experienced EPC consortium or lead contractor Viability: Can a new nuclear plant be successfully developed in a merchant environment? 16

19 NRG Carbon Footprint Before and After Repowering NRG NRG Fleet: Projected Carbon Intensity ~0.9 tons/mwh ~0.7 tons/mwh 1 w/igcc CO 2 sequestration Per Mwh Note: includes impact of 2,700MW of nuclear, 2,250MW of IGCC, 1,800MW of coal, 3,100MW of gas and 1,000MW of wind. MW are before any potential equity sell down. 1 Assumes full impact of 2,700MW at STP. With only 44% ownership of STP, carbon intensity would be ~0.06 tons/mwh higher Repowering NRG: Doesn t Solve Carbon Issue but is a Big Step in Right Direction 19

21 RepoweringNRG Current Newbuild Environment Current Dynamics Effect Potential Outcomes Impact on NRG A B C Increasing environmental pressure Carbon wildcard Surging equipment/ EPC costs Paralysis & Indecision 1. Policy makers get their act together immediately and make rational long term decisions 2. Policy makers get their act together but only in time to make decisions on best available short term options Super fast track options D Regulatory uncertainty around new build 3. Policy makers never get their act together Enhanced value of existing NRG fleet Positioned for success in all public policy outcomes 21
22 NRG: A Virtuous Circle of Initiatives Ensure economic competitiveness of aging fleet Green solutions to extend life of environmentally challenged assets Ensures ability to manage and operate future fleet A coordinated plan to provide for the present while preparing for the future Makes our Portfolio younger, bigger greener and more efficient 22
