Comanche Peak History

Unit 1 - Commercial Operation August 1990

20 years of Operation

Unit 2 - Commercial Operation August 1993

17 years of Operation

Squaw Creek Reservoir

Closed for security reasons after September 11, 2001

Reopened to public for fishing earlier this year

Comanche Peak Units 1 & 2

Zero Safety Incidents

98.1% Capacity factor (availability) of existing units

ZeroGreenhouse gas emissions

(main units)

~ 2,500 Megawatts of electric generating capacity

~ $11 Billion Cost of Units 1 & 2

Unit 1 & 2 Operation Overview

Top priority is to maintain nuclear and personnel safety

Excellent results

Ongoing corrective action plan

Focus on management behaviors that maximize solutions

Unique cooperation within industry to share information

Constructive culture led by Servant Leaders

Costs are low – in top 5% of industry

Units 1 & 2 Area Impacts

1,220 Employees and team members.

$100 MillionCurrent annual Comanche Peak payroll. Average salary and benefits of plant

employees is about $80,000/year.

$1 BillionTotal of tax payments and other monetary

donations to local communities.

Over $615,000

Raised for Hood County United Way in past 4 years.

$1.1 Million

Ongoing average annual payments for the construction of Lake Granbury for the past 38 years.

When payments are complete, we will have spent $46 million to fully underwrite the

construction cost of Lake Granbury.

Overview of Proposed Expansion (Units 3 & 4)

1700 MW each unit; 3400 MW total

Uses existing Comanche Peak site and infrastructure

Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Company – Joint venture between Luminant and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries

Attractive, emissions-free growth opportunity

Benefits of Potential Expansion

Safe Operations: Strong history of safe operations

Clean-Air Energy: Zero greenhouse gas emissions (existing main units)

Dependable Power: High annual availability factors

Advanced Technology: Improved nuclear design

Ratepayer Certainty: Owners pay for construction – not ratepayers

Future Economic Benefits of Proposed Expansion (Perryman Group)

11

$22 billion in Texas Economic Impact: Including increased retail sales, personal income and gross state product. This would be the largest economic development project in state history.

Thousands of New Jobs: In addition to thousands of construction jobs, the new units would create about 1,000 new, on-site jobs. With the economic development multiplier, this is expected to create a total of 6,200 Texas jobs.

Increased State Revenue: State tax revenue is projected to increase by more than $490 million during development and construction – by more than $30 million annually once the plant is operational.

> 5 million Cubic yards of earth to be moved

90,000 Tons of rebar

~ 1 million Yards of concrete to be poured

> 12 million Feet of cable

> 30 million Construction man-hours to complete

> 40,000 Tons of structural steel

~ 8 million Square feet of formwork
