Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant Existing and Proposed Units American Society of Civil Engineers Dallas Chapter November 1, 2010

1 Comanche Peak History  Unit 1 - Commercial Operation August 1990  20 years of Operation  Unit 2 - Commercial Operation August 1993  17 years of Operation  Squaw Creek Reservoir  Closed for security reasons after September 11, 2001  Reopened to public for fishing earlier this year

22 Comanche Peak Units 1 & 2 ZeroSafety Incidents 98.1%Capacity factor (availability) of existing units Zero Greenhouse gas emissions (main units) ~ 2,500Megawatts of electric generating capacity ~ $11 BillionCost of Units 1 & 2 20Years of Operation for Unit 1

3 Unit 1 & 2 Operation Overview  Top priority is to maintain nuclear and personnel safety  Excellent results  Ongoing corrective action plan  Focus on management behaviors that maximize solutions  Unique cooperation within industry to share information  Constructive culture led by Servant Leaders  Costs are low – in top 5% of industry

44 Units 1 & 2 Area Impacts 1,220 Employees and team members. $100 Million Current annual Comanche Peak payroll. Average salary and benefits of plant employees is about $80,000/year. $1 Billion Total of tax payments and other monetary donations to local communities. Over $615,000 Raised for Hood County United Way in past 4 years. $1.1 Million Ongoing average annual payments for the construction of Lake Granbury for the past 38 years. When payments are complete, we will have spent $46 million to fully underwrite the construction cost of Lake Granbury.

5 Comanche Peak Oversight  Created by nuclear industry  Helps industry achieve operational excellence  Evaluates & assists  Accredits training  U.S. Regulatory Agency  Develops rules & regulations  Inspects plants Nuclear Committee Comanche Peak Operations Review Committee  Required by Technical Specifications  Includes off-site industry experts  Quarterly intensive review of performance  Reports to CNO & provides feedback to the Board  Committee of Luminant Board  Receives periodic reports of CPNPP performance  Reports to the Board QA

8 Overview of Proposed Expansion (Units 3 & 4)  1700 MW each unit; 3400 MW total  Uses existing Comanche Peak site and infrastructure  Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Company – Joint venture between Luminant and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries  Attractive, emissions-free growth opportunity Proposed Existing

99 Benefits of Potential Expansion Safe Operations: Strong history of safe operations Clean-Air Energy: Zero greenhouse gas emissions (existing main units) Dependable Power: High annual availability factors Advanced Technology: Improved nuclear design Ratepayer Certainty: Owners pay for construction – not ratepayers

10 Future Economic Benefits of Proposed Expansion (Perryman Group) 10  $22 billion in Texas Economic Impact: Including increased retail sales, personal income and gross state product. This would be the largest economic development project in state history.  Thousands of New Jobs: In addition to thousands of construction jobs, the new units would create about 1,000 new, on-site jobs. With the economic development multiplier, this is expected to create a total of 6,200 Texas jobs.  Increased State Revenue: State tax revenue is projected to increase by more than $490 million during development and construction – by more than $30 million annually once the plant is operational.
