14 14 Keeping the Lights On Best in the Midwest  Named the most reliable utility in the Midwest – again  Sixth time in the past eight years that We Energies has received the ReliabilityOne TM award  In 2009, customer outages ran 18 percent below 2008 – our best reliability in the modern era

19 19 Carbon Legislation  We do not expect legislation to be enacted this year  A House bill was narrowly approved (219-212) last year  Senate proponents have been unable to secure 60 votes required to move a bill  Efforts underway in House and Senate to limit the EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gases  This is not likely to succeed  This legislation is likely to be back on the table next year
