4. Physical Electric Production Capability Electricity PRODUCED as byproduct of required steam production (Results in a natural gas requirement) Electricity PRODUCED (Economic use of natural gas) Electricity PURCHASED (Economic analysis of incremental production costs) Electricity PURCHASED (Exceeds physical capacity of production facilities) Electric and gas positions may be established through financial instruments University Steam Requirement Total University Electric Requirement 4 Electric and Gas Supply Sourcing

5. Electric Supply Strategy University must-run generation (Byproduct Generation) Market purchase due to University generating capacity limits (Base Electricity Requirement) Economic Spread optionality limited due to import constraints Hours per Year Economic choice of University generation or market purchase (Economic Spread) 8760 Hours Annual Peak Load Facilities Capacity Limit 5
