2 Who we are: North America A leading IPP with a portfolio of over 4000 MW of advanced technology CCGT plant entering commercial operation. 12 of our 14 new units are now operating commercially We are actively marketing and trading output in NEPOOL and ERCOT The technology recovery program is on track and results are coming through We have an active growth program including 1650MW in advanced development in New York State Our construction program is on track, we have transitioned to an operations company, and we are developing for growth. WSCC ERCOT Ramapo 1,100 MW CCGT MAPP SPP MAIN ECAR SERC NEPOOL NYPP MAAC Brookhaven 550MW CCGT

3 Our Construction Program Bellingham 2 units in advanced construction/commissioning CO scheduled for Sep-02 and Oct-02 Midlothian 4 units in CO 2 in final commissioning 2.5 TWh generated in 2002 at 51.2% efficiency and 86% availability Blackstone 2 units in CO.5 TWh generated in 2002 at 51.8% efficiency and 91% availability Our first wave construction program is approaching its conclusion. We have transitioned to an operational company... Hays 2 units entering CO 2 units in advanced commissioning All will be on line for Summer 02

6 Our Principal Markets: ERCOT Characteristics Bilateral Market similar to NETA in UK must sell in advance self schedule to sales intra day energy markets for balancing purposes (bilateral and ISO market) day ahead market for ancillaries (capability payment & energy payment when deployed) Main traded product: Seller s choice (seller chooses where to deliver) effectively floor price Zonal pricing, led by transmission constraints North to seller s choice premium Market Gas on gas competitive advantage on peak Zonal benefits Big market & strong historic growth (3-5% pa) Issues Overbuild - supply/demand balance Stranded costs - downward pressure on pricing?

8 Our Principal Markets: NEPOOL Characteristics Currently a Pool market similar to old UK Capacity, energy and ancillary product markets Power delivered to PTF no congestion market (uplifted) Dispatch on economic/technical merits Non firm to Pool Maine Movement towards Standard Market Design Day ahead and real time markets (multi-settlement) Financially firm to Pool Vermont Congestion pricing: Generation Nodal/ Load Zonal Financial Congestion Rights Zone to Zone, Node to Zone etc. NH Market Incumbent generation old and high cost Hub NE MA Competitive retail market Wstrn MA SE MA Splitting of generation and load RI CT Issues Overbuild - supply/demand balance Congestion opportunity or neutral to seller s choice? Our plant is well placed relative to the main load centres in the area

10 North America Growth Opportunities Selective Asset Acquisition + Green & Brown Field Development + Existing Asset Portfolio Add diversity in plant, fuel, market Contracted earnings streams Logically focused Emphasis on contracted opportunities Meet strict economic return criteria Large scale cogen/industrial opportunities Seek to utilize turbines from abandoned projects Enhance performance/profitability Offer innovative off take options to customers Ancillary services Trading/marketing leverage We have the flexibility, skills and capability to deliver growth. We will focus on new markets where there are gas on gas opportunities, high cost incumbent generation and where our favored plant can be effective.

12 Our Competitive Advantage We are well placed with: strong balance sheet no turbine overhangs no trading shadow lean, effective team We are poised to take advantage of the opportunities emerging as players readjust balance sheets: acquisition targets are evident but price expectations remain too high today greater pricing realism is forecast We are actively evaluating options and are ready to move
