*Based on preliminary testing

Monroe - largest plant comprising ~40% of the coal fleet - is deploying FGDs and SCRs

Belle River (18% of capacity) - may deploy either FGDs or DSI

Additional 21% of capacity – based on early testing DSI appears to work; retirement unlikely

Future viability of 14% of our fleet is highly dependent on success with DSI

– Potential for combined cycle gas turbine generation to backfill possible retirements

– Retirements beginning as early as 2015 4% of fleet will be retired
