1 Perspective on Regional Challenges Judy M. Poferl President and CEO NSP Minnesota September 15, 2011
2 Xcel Energy Service Territories Northern States Power Company Minnesota Public Service Company of Colorado Southwestern Public Service Company Northern States Power Company Wisconsin Maintain reasonably priced, reliable energy Address risk through advanced, balanced, and diverse energy portfolio Create value for customers, shareholders and employees Gas Customers 1.9 M Electric Customers 3.4 M
3 Our Focus Reasonable cost Safe service Reliable service Forward-looking Fuel diversity Environmental leadership Innovation for the future
4 Built to Last Strategy Invest in our core electric and gas businesses Provide safe, clean, reliable and affordable energy Meet policy objectives and manage risk Demonstrated t benefits to stakeholders Satisfy customers Achieve policy objectives Earn fair total return for shareholders
5 Xcel Energy s Perspective Clarity and certainty of rules is essential Aging infrastructure Long-lead time, long-lived lived assets Reliability investments Significant capital required Investments must demonstrate value Cost Reliability Environment Risk
6 Mitigating Risk is Key Early adoption of clean energy initiatives Reduces long-term environmental and compliance risk Secures place at the table Gives us time and lowers costs Enhance flexibility Retirements, retrofits and repowering Emission controls Nuclear power uprates and life extensions Grid expansion and improvements
7 The Challenges Evolving environmental policies Federal and regional transmission policies Expansive agenda
8 EPA Initiatives Propose or finalize at least seven major rulemakings Focused on air quality Would require billions of dollars in scrubber, SCR and other environmental costs Anticipated to result in widespread power plant retirements Timing Usually requires compliance within three to five years Exception: Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) Need several years for planning, engineering, procurement and installation
9 EPA Initiatives Non-CO 2 Environmental Regulatory Timeline for Coal Units Ozone SO 2 /NO 2 CAIR Water Revised Ozone NAAQS Beginning CAIR Phase I Seasonal NOx Cap CAIR Vacated PM-2.5 SIPs Due ( 97) Reconsidered Ozone NAAQS CAIR Remanded Begin CAIR Phase I Annual SO 2 Cap NO 2 Primary NAAQS SO 2 Primary NAAQS Proposed CAIR Replacement Rule Expected Final CAIR Replacement Rule Expected Final Rule for Next CCBs PM-2.5 Mgmt NAAQS Revision Effluent Guidelines Proposed Rule Expected SO 2 /NO 2 Secondary NAAQS PM-2.5 SIPs Due ( 06) Effluent Guidelines Final Rule Expected 316(b) Final Rule Expected Next Ozone NAAQS Revision 316(b) Compliance 3-4 Yrs After Final Rule Regional Haze BART Compliance Effluent Guidelines Compliance 3-5 Yrs After Final Rule CAMR & Delisting Rule Vacated Regional Haze BART Submitted to EPA Begin CAIR Phase I Annual NOx Cap PM2.5 Proposed Rule for CCBs Management 316(b) Proposed Rule Expected HAPS MACT Proposed Rule Regional Haze SIP Submitted to EPA HAPS MACT Final Rule Expected Final EPA Non-attainment Designations Ash New PM-2.5 NAAQS Designations Begin Compliance Requirements Under Final CCB Rule (Ground Water Monitoring, Double Monitors, Closure, Dry Ash Conversion) Compliance with CAIR Replacement Rule Hg/HAPS Beginning CAIR Phase II Annual SO 2 & NOx Caps HAPS MACT Compliance 3 Yrs After Beginning i CAIR Phase II Seasonal NOx Cap Regional Haze Compliance Final Rule Deadline *Adapted from Wegman (EPA 2003) Updated

12 Upper Midwest Fuel Mix Current 2025 Nuclear Nuclear 30% Other 28% Other 7% 15% Natural Gas 7% Natural Wind Gas 20% Wind 16% 9% Coal 39% Coal 29%
13 Key Decisions Retire and Replace Natural gas supplemented with renewables? Higher operating costs? More volatility? Retrofit More retrofits in the future? Future carbon costs? Costs over useful life?
14 Emission Reduction Initiatives Retrofit anchor coal units Minnesota Emissions Reduction Project Retrofit one unit to BACT level controls Retire five units Construct two natural gas combined cycle units Preserve valuable assets for the future Retire heritage coal units Black Dog Proposal Retire 270 MW of remaining coal Construct natural gas combined cycle unit Maintain reasonable long-term cost Approach requires significant investment and supportive regulation
15 Industry Response U.S. vs Xcel Energy, Percentage of Coal Fleet Retired/Replaced/Fuel Switched Retrofit Cost for Non-Retired Coal Units Retrofit Cost (Fleet-wide as Percentage Average, $/kw) of Market Cap U.S. (EEI/ICF Analysis) 18% - 31%* $667 - $685* n/a AEP (largest U.S. coal generator) 24% $261 - $367 31% - 43% Southern Company ~40% $700 - $ % - 45% Xcel Energy 15% $130 - $371 9% - 25% * EEI / ICF analysis results reflect scenarios with and without carbon regulation
16 Concurrent Strategies Nation s No. 1 Wind Provider Industry leader in energy efficiency programs Transmission investments Commitment to innovation MW 4000 Energy Innovation Corridor Electric vehicles NSP Wind Capacity Savings Demand 2.1 million kw Natural Gas 9.3 million MCF Electricity 4.8 billion kwh Results: Equivalent of removing 4 million metric tons of CO 2 emissions
17 System Wind Resources Over 3,000 turbines Three operating companies Three market structures MISO WECC SPP PSCo 1,735 MW NSP-MN 1,591 MW Xcel Energy 4,256 MW SPS 736 MW (930 MW in BA)
18 That Was Then Then.
19 This Is Now: Grand Meadow Wind Farm
20 Wind Power $70 Provides value today $8/mmBtu Natural Gas and in the future $60 $40 Dollars per MWh $4/mmBtu Natural Gas $50 No need to take projects $30 $20 $10 $ Wind Generation Alternative Generation Ahead of RES Creates economic pressure Current prices are significantly lower than previously seen
21 Wind Challenges Wind production forecast error Largest hourly change (MWs) Wind Net Load NSP ,094 PSCo ,066 SPS System operational impacts
22 Solutions Better understand wind Partner with experts Improve forecasts Improve wind event detection Increase flexibility on system Operator vigilance Flex reserve requirement Gas nominations
23 Energy Markets Matter NSP: 1,293 MWs 116,000 MW MISO footprint Substantial import/export capability SPS: 653 MWs 46,000 MW SPP footprint Limited transmission North/South flow issues PSCo: 1,258 MWs 7,900 MW Balancing Authority Limited import/export capability Highest penetration level
24 Energy Efficiency
25 Demand-Side Management Lower costs to customers by reducing the need for new power plants $400,000,000 $350,000,000 $300,000,000 $250,000,000 $200,000, Give customers greater control $150,000,000 over their costs $100,000,000 C&I customers are the key to the success of our programs $50,000,000 $ Avoided Revenue Requirements Total Program Expenditures (Includes Incentives)
26 Regulation of GHGs (Carbon Dioxide) Congress Impasse (Can t pass anything/can t stop EPA) Supreme Court AEP v. Connecticut t (June 2011) Preemption of state common law claims remains unclear EPA regulation
27 Regulation of Existing GHG Sources EPA regulation under CAA State plans must meet Federal guidelines Likely to be stack-by by- stack limits Risk of stranding "Train Wreck" retrofits Our strategy t Seek credit for state clean energy initiatives Lower cost, greater benefit Xcel Energy Emissions Reductions in Colorado Annual CO 2 Emissions Reduction (Million Metric Tons) Hypothetical Coal Plant CAA Source-Limit State Clean Energy Programs
28 Looking Forward Continue to pursue balanced, diverse energy portfolio Likely slowed due to recession Address coal infrastructure Long-term Sherco plan Explore and implement cost-effective new technologies Advocate for flexible, low-cost energy and environmental policies
