8. Cherry Point Advantages Existing Infrastructure

9. Cherry Point Advantages Minimize Environmental Impact Reduce air emissions from Cherry Point complex Reduce water withdrawal from Nooksack River No new pipelines or transmission lines required Build on existing industrial site Cherry Point Project Rendering looking SE from Grandview Road

10. Cherry Point Advantages Competitive Price Heat rate advantage ~ 0.7 MMBtu/MWh better than CC Savings of $2.80/MWh 1 Ferndale pipeline tolls ~ 50% lower than Northwest Pipe Savings of $1.40/MWh Project can be dispatched off-line to take advantage of low hydro prices Building in “down market”; equipment and EPC costs at lowest point in years. 1 Based on $4.00 /MMBtu gas price

11. PURPA - Qualifying Facility Status Cherry Point Cogeneration Project Fuel Input 5440 MMBtu/hr Useful Thermal Output 700 MMBtu/hr Useful Power Output 720 MWh or 2450 MMBtu/hr Useful Thermal Energy Purpa Efficiency Cherry Point 13% 51% Purpa Threshold >5% = >45% Meets Threshold

12. Cherry Point is an Advantaged Generation Asset Cherry Point Layout, looking NE Heat rate advantages vs. stand-alone CC Dispatchable plant Economy of scale Gas supply infrastructure advantages Strong, committed project proponents Cogen emissions offset by refinery reductions Water cooled/water reuse plan “The economy of scale and flexibility of a large combined cycle plant with a cogeneration heat rate”

13. The Home Stretch - Ensuring Success! Remaining basic success factors reside with BPA: Transmission Market Clarity BPA’s role as resource provider post-2006 Price of BPA hydro power post- 2006 Innovative solutions also reside with BPA: Return of Canadian Entitlement Integration and dispatch of Cherry Point for BPA preference customers
