1 EORI PRESENTATION Tap Into The Future July,

2 Concept started in early 1970s GPSP built by a consortium of 5 pipeline companies Construction began in 1980 Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) production began in 1984

3 A technological marvel but not a financial success Original Owners Default The original investors defaulted on August 1, 1985, about one year after first gas was put in the pipeline, due to the very low price of natural gas DOE Operation Period The DOE operated the plant from 1985 until 1988 Sold to Basin Electric Power Cooperative Basin Electric purchased the plant from the DOE & formed DGC, a wholly owned subsidiary to operate the facility 3

4 Formed in 1961 by representatives of 67 rural electric cooperatives from eight states. Power Resources: Antelope Valley Station Leland Olds Station Laramie River Station PrairieWinds Peaking Stations Heat Recovery Dry Fork Station New Projects: Peaking Stations Wind Wind-to-Hydrogen Subsidiaries: Dakota Gasification Company Souris Valley Pipeline Ltd Dakota Coal Company Montana Limestone Company Basin Cooperative Services Basin Telecommunications Inc. PrairieWinds ND1 Inc. PrairieWinds ND2 Inc. 4 5

5 Ammonium Sulfate Carbon Dioxide Anhydrous Ammonia Cresylic Acid Liquid Nitrogen Natural Gas Krypton/Xenon Naphtha Phenols Tar Oil 5

6 Capacity to produce 400,000 tons annually Fleet of 223 railcars Truck loading facility Fertilizer for farming & as chemical feedstock 6

7 Created to utilize the sulfur dioxide removed from the plant boiler steam in order to be compliant with the Clean Air Act of 1990 DGC s flue gas desulfurization unit is removing 93% of the sulfur Capacity to produce 100,000 tons annually On site storage for 40,000 tons Fleet of 25 railcars Truck loading facility Nitrogen: 21% Sulfur: 24% 7

8 Mixture of cresols & xylenols Capacity of 33 million pounds annually Used in: Pesticides/Insecticides Antioxidants/Vitamin E Wire enamel coatings Dyes/Solvents Pyrethroids Automotive Parts Semiconductor materials Electronic chips Alkylphenols Resins Fleet of 27 Railcars Useful Cresylics >94% 8

9 Capacity to produce 24 MM gallons annually Used for food processing, refrigeration, as an oil well additive and in artificial insemination, chemical processes, and medical procedures Product specification 99.99% 9

10 Capacity to produce 3.5 million liters annually Used high-intensity halogen lighting, lasers, & thermal pane windows Krypton: 89% Xenon: 7.7% 10

11 Capacity of 7 million gallons annually Fleet of 39 railcars Used as a gasoline blend stock, in making paint thinner & other solvents & feedstock for benzene, toluene, & xylenes 11

12 Capacity to produce 33 million lbs annually Fleet of 35 railcars Used in: Plywood/OSB/Insulation Countertops/Overlays/Exterior Siding DVDs/CDs Automotive Parts Caprolactum-Nylon 6 Circuit Boards Pharmaceuticals Purity: >99.9% 12
