20 20 Disciplined Growth Strategy  Grow generation portfolio in prudent way –aggressive wind development –focused fossil development –pursuit of M&A opportunities  Optimize asset value –integrated operations, business management and marketing and trading capabilities  Hedge position via substantial contract coverage  Moderate risk by regional and fuel diversity  Manage portfolio actively

21 21 Achievable Growth Strategy 20%-30% Average Annual Earnings Growth Existing Portfolio Portfolio Build-out  Optimization of assets (5,063 mw)  4,000+ mw of announced gas- fired plants  Close Seabrook by YE 2002  1,000-2,000 mw of wind projects Assumes prices roughly equivalent to current market forwards

22 22 Achievable Growth Strategy Additional Greenfield Development Acquisitions  Focused on high contract coverage projects  Gas  Wind  Ranging from single plants to IPPs  Multiple fuels –gas –nuclear –wind –coal –hydro Additional Upside Potential 20%-30% Average Annual Earnings Growth Existing Portfolio Portfolio Build-out  Optimization of assets (5,063 mw)  4,000+ mw of announced gas- fired plants  Close Seabrook by YE 2002  1,000-2,000 mw of wind projects Assumes prices roughly equivalent to current market forwards

23 23 Wind Energy: Capitalizing on our Strength  Nearly 1,500 net mw in operation  Wind is profitable  We have a leading position  We can build projects faster and cheaper  We can operate with higher availability  1,000 - 2,000 mw of new wind projects by year-end 2003

24 24 Seabrook Acquisition  Attractive price  Plays to our strengths –superior operating skills –northeast trading expertise  Immediately accretive –1 - 4 cents in 2003 –10 - 12 cents avg. ‘03-’06 –accelerating thereafter  Attractive financial returns –strong cash flow –substantial NPV –18 - 20% ROE Based on current forward price curves
