16. 16 Helps meet need for 24/7 electricity supplies Coupled with conversion of Bremo from coal to natural gas Environmental benefits - Uses biomass and waste coal - 1.4 million tons of CO 2 to be offset annually - All CO 2 to be captured and stored when commercially feasible - Sharp reductions in net mercury, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center What Dominion has proposed is the full up suite of controls. It is the best there is. Bruce Buckheit, State Air Pollution Control Board member - June 25, 2008.

18. 18 Transmission: Electricity's Highway System Power is useless unless you can get it where its needed. 18 Thirteen projects planned or under way in Virginia and North Carolina Critical projects in Hampton Roads, Central and Northern Virginia Upgrading the Power Grid

19. 19 Dominions Response: Conservation Dominions Response: Conservation Conservation a key to meeting Virginias growing energy needs while protecting the environment. Conservation Plan to be filed with SCC, after July 1. Proposed smart meters; Expected to reduce demand by 1 million Mwh by 2011; Projected to save customers $1 billion over 15 years. Important part of an integrated strategy.

20. 20 13 programs Homeowner incentives to: –Tune up heat pumps –Install energy-efficient heat pumps –Turn in old refrigerators –Cycle off air conditioners during peak periods If approved by SCC effective in 2010 20 A Portfolio of Programs
