11. 11 Ingmar Sterzing, August 1, 2013 Changes in Electricity Planning, Project Execution, and Operation Univ. of Pittsburgh School of Law 2013 Energy Law and Policy Institute Project Optimization and Risk Response Risk Response Planning is the process of developing options or actions to enhance opportunity capture and to reduce threats to the objectives. – Avoid Either take significant action to reduce the threat risk factor to zero or revise program criteria to eliminate the exposure to the risk – Transfer Delegate the ownership of the risk to a third party – Mitigate Taking early actions to reduce the probability and/or impact of the risk to a more acceptable level. – Accept Some risks cannot be eliminated or addressed through a viable strategy. These risks must be managed effectively or provisioned. Westinghouse seeks to first mitigate risk through design and effective execution. Westinghouse prefers to align scope and risk with the party best capable of managing the scope and mitigating the risk.

12. 12 Ingmar Sterzing, August 1, 2013 Changes in Electricity Planning, Project Execution, and Operation Univ. of Pittsburgh School of Law 2013 Energy Law and Policy Institute Risk Management and AP1000 Pricing Uncertainty for Planned Events Contingency is a cost factor used to account for uncertainty in the cost estimate, and includes cost allowances for areas such as: – Design uncertainty – Equipment cost estimates – Labor productivity – Wage rates – Commodity costs Contingency does not include any allowance for risk items The use of contingency funds by the project is expected The level of confidence in the amount of contingency needed changes as the project progresses Uncertainty for Un-planned Events Risk allowance accounts for the potential cost exposure of unplanned activities and events Risk allowance may include cost allowances for areas such as: – Defects liability – Performance guarantees – Schedule guarantees – Force Majeure Events – Regulatory Changes – Catastrophic loss – Permitting uncertainty The use of risk allowance by the project is not expected The level of risk allowance required is dependent on the project delivery model, risk tolerance, and the commercial arrangements Residual project delivery uncertainties can be managed collectively with reserve funds (risk and contingency) to minimize the overall cost impact associated with distributed and uncoordinated risk provisioning.
