3 Snapshot Four Years Ago Where We are Today
Aggressive state adoption of Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) A new administration with an active agenda National RPS standard Cap and trade legislation or some carbon impactful measures Recognition of the value of transmission and policies designed to facilitate development Strong FERC support of transmission incentives Significant development of wind No comprehensive national energy policy Cap and trade/carbon policies politically difficult Many states revisiting/reversing RPS standards Wind development scaled back FERC Order 1000 creating uncertainty 7/31/2018

4 “The More Things Change…”
The three regulatory challenges remain essentially unresolved Planning Siting Cost allocation Significant transmission investment needed Focus on lowering/mitigating the delivered cost of energy Lingering uncertainty drives “sub-optimal” solutions

5 There are Positive Developments
FERC Order 1000 demonstrates desire to address the critical issues MISO’s “Multi Value Projects” Developers continue to propose projects Transmission incentives from 2005 important for development
