3 FPL Energy is the largest wind generator in the U.S. with more than 2,750 MW’s in operation.

4 FPL Energy owns 50% and operates the two largest solar fields in the world: SEGS VIII & IX-Mojave Desert, CA FPL Energy is the largest generator of solar power in the world with 310 MW’s. In February, 2005 FPL Energy purchased a 45% interest in the SEGS III-VII solar plants and will operate the 141 MW facility. The power from the SEGS project is sold to Southern California Edison.

5 FPL Group has a diverse fuel mix

6 FPL Group Generation is Increasing

7 FPL Group Emission Rates Dropping

8 Growth states will require additional allowances allocations

9 Multipollutant Emissions Reduction Legislation History Title IV of 1990 Clean Air Act implemented market- based allowance trading system (cap & trade). SO2 allowances were distributed to affected facilities utilizing heat input method of allocation, based on amount of fuel burned in a baseline year(s). One-time heat input method disadvantages companies that have invested in early reductions, or companies that are in growth states.

10 Multipollutant Emissions Reduction Legislation--Output Based Allocations An updating, output-based allocation method distributes allowances based on a Generation Performance Standard (GPS) calculated from the ratio of the targeted emissions in tons as compared to the national electric generation total (MWh) :  National Emission Target Limit (tons)__ –National Electric Generation Total (MWhs) = GPS (tons/MWh); The resultant GPS is used to allocate allowances to affected facilities.  GPS (tons/MWh) X Unit’s Generation (MWhs) = Unit’s Allowance Allocation (Tons)

11 Multipollutant Emissions Reduction Legislation--Output Based Allocations Distributes allowances based on unit performance by rewarding efficiency. Facilities emitting in excess of a national Generation Performance Standard would purchase allowances. Fuel neutral, levels the playing field for all generation.

12 Multipollutant Emissions Reduction Legislation--Output Based Allocations Allowances can be allocated to non-emitting generation. Efficient power plants will benefit from output- based allocations regardless of fuel type. Updating allocations adjust for efficiency improvement, new facilities and regional shifts in generation.

13 Oil & gas-fired companies pay more for cleaner fuel & higher efficiency

14 FPL is Disadvantaged by Higher Wholesale Fuel Costs

15 Estimated Cost of Clear Skies Compliance Does not Level Playing Field

16 Windfall Myth Source: Resource Data Institute, PowerDat, 2004 Fuel Cost - $/MWh Florida (FRCC) rate payers pay considerably higher fuel costs for cleaner generation. An output-based allocation provides no windfall to clean generators, but merely levelizes the playing field with low-cost-fuel generators.

17 Clean Air Planning Act Provides More Fuel Neutral Allowance Allocations
