3
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 3 Traditional Generation Options Base Load Nuclear Coal Intermediate / Peak Load Natural Gas Combined Cycle Natural Gas / Oil Simple Cycle Natural Gas / Diesel Reciprocating Engines
4
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 4 Base Load Characteristics Nuclear 10+ year gestation period High development cost $$$$$ Massive land (1,000+ acres) Coal 5-10 year gestation period High development cost $$$$ Immense regulatory pressure Significant land (500-1,000 acres)
5
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 5 Intermediate / Peak Load Characteristics Combined Cycle 3-4 year gestation period Moderate development cost $$ Moderate land (100 acres) Simple Cycle / Reciprocating Engines 2-3 year gestation period Low development cost $ Minimal land (50 acres)
6
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 6 Renewable Technology Options Abundant and viable Biomass Solar Wind Limited capacity and/or technology Geothermal Landfill methane Hydro Others
7
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 7 Wind Advantages Small footprint No emissions Free fuel Declining costs Quick installation Phased growth
8
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 8 Wind Disadvantages Doesn’t match load Transmission Intermittent resource Size (40-60 acres / MW) Environmental impacts Birds Noise Visual

2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 12 Solar Resources
13
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 13 Biomass Advantages Capacity Value Easily retrofit Easily scalable Familiar operations
14
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 14 Biomass Disadvantages Emissions Low heating value Fuel storage Cost Significant off-site impacts
15
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 15 Biomass Resources
16
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 16 Which Option is Best? Renewable development options are largely dependent upon regional resource availability factors Traditional generating resources impose fewer restrictions
17
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 17 Considerations for Realigned Bases Physical space demands Voltage control on distribution system Potential need for flexible resources Plant operation is foreign to bases Security considerations Potential flight approach path impacts Potential LSE standby energy charges Likely Notice of Availability requirements
18
2012 ADC WINTER FORUM | PAGE 18 Considerations for Closed Bases Interference with remediation programs Energy development projects have long gestation periods Public support often less durable “Feed-in tariffs” can prop up public support Nodal pricing changes as the base becomes a net energy exporter
