Short Term Effects On Demand Assess factors that impact demand based on day and season: Weather (e.g., temperature, humidity, precipitation) Human habits (e.g., school is in/out of session, Fridays, holidays) Unusual events (e.g., hurricane, Superbowl, blackouts) Proprietary and Confidential 7
The Green Effect The trend of demand destruction based on increases in: 1.Energy efficiency & conservation 2.Behind the meter generation 3.Economic pressures Proprietary and Confidential 8
Energy Efficiency & Conservation Energy conservation means using less energy and avoiding wasteful uses. This is accomplished by: Using energy efficient products/appliances Modifying usage habits (e.g. reducing AC use) Proprietary and Confidential 9
Energy Efficiency Resource Standards (EERS) An EERS – Energy Efficiency Resource (or portfolio) Standard – aims to reduce or flatten electric load growth through energy efficiency (EE) measures. Goals may specify reductions in energy (MWh), demand (MW), or both. Many specify both overall energy reductions and peak-load reductions. 18 states have passed EERS legislation 3 states have pending EERS legislation 14 states passed significant Energy Efficiency legislation in 2008 Source: FERC Proprietary and Confidential 10
Example – California Solar Initiative Behind the Meter Generation Proprietary and Confidential 11 Goal: 3,000 MW of new solar- produced electricity by 2016

EIA Demand Trends Between 2002 to 2006, the average US annual electricity demand grew by an average of 1.6% per year. Last year EIA’s outlook for 2008 to 2030, electricity demand growth will average only 1.2% per year. In January 2009, EIA revised demand forecast: Drop of 0.8% in 2009 Rise of 1.5% in 2010 source US EIA Proprietary and Confidential 14
Enva Summer 2009 Outlook Summer demand is represented by an average of the months June, July and August. Assuming the summer of 2009 to have similar weather to summer of Proprietary and Confidential 15

Proprietary and Confidential 17 Demand Percent Change % % (EIA)-0.8% (Enva)-4.1%
Proprietary and Confidential 18 Demand Percent Change % % (EIA)-0.8% (Enva)-2.8%
We expect the continuation of demand destruction. The percent change will vary by region from roughly -1% to as much as -4%. Demand summer outlook is an average of the season. Volatile days will still occur. Proprietary and Confidential 19 SUMMARY
