Major Capital Improvements Completed projects Steam generators Low-pressure turbines Future projects Reactor vessel heads Rapid refueling packages Cooling towers All projects in capital expenditure forecasts


 

Steam Generators and Low-Pressure Turbines Completed at all units in 2003 - 2007 Increased production capability 210 MW total site 61 MW APS share


 

Reactor Vessel Head Replacements Planned timing (during normal refueling outages): Unit 2 - Fall 2009 Unit 1 - Spring 2010 Unit 3 - Fall 2010 Estimated outage duration About 60 days/unit Projected site costs (all units) $90-100 million total project APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1% APS share 29.1%


 

Rapid Refueling Packages Planned timing Concurrent with reactor vessel head replacements Projected site costs (all units) $100-110 million total project APS share 29.1%


 

Cooling Tower Replacements Currently in design stage Projected completion: 2015 Preliminary site project cost estimate (all units) $400 million total project APS share 29.1%


 

The Road to Excellence - 2013 Goals Capacity factor greater than 88% Outages less than or equal to 30 days per unit Production cost less than or equal to $20 per megawatt-hour (2 cents per kWh) ISAR top quartile No NRC Findings greater than GREEN INPO 1
