PUGET SOUND ENERGY ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT

TO PURCHASE GOLDENDALE ENERGY CENTER

Power Plant a Natural to Meet Company’s Growing Energy Needs

 BELLEVUE, Wash. - Puget Sound Energy (PSE) [utility subsidiary of Puget Energy (NYSE: PSD)] today announced the company has entered into an agreement to purchase the 277- megawatt (MW) Goldendale Energy Center (Goldendale) operating in south-central Washington from Calpine Corporation [OTC Pink Sheets: CPNLQ] (Calpine) for $100 million to help serve PSE’s steadily growing customer needs in the vibrant Puget Sound region.

“We’re excited about acquiring Goldendale - a modern and tested plant in our home state of Washington,” said Stephen P. Reynolds, chairman, president and CEO of PSE. “By acquiring a practically new operating plant at a good price, we avoid construction cost and schedule risks.

 “Goldendale is in a great location to interconnect with PSE’s transmission and distribution infrastructure,” added Reynolds. “More importantly, Goldendale is one of the most efficient and clean generating facilities in the entire West and complements our recent $580 million investments in wind.”

 The two-year-old, natural gas-fired Goldendale power plant in Klickitat County employs “combined-cycle” General Electric technology to generate electricity using both a natural gas cycle and a steam cycle - a process that provides higher operating efficiencies, lower fuel costs, and lower air emissions.

 The Goldendale acquisition stems from PSE’s goal to add additional resources to meet growing customer needs through a request for proposals the company issued in fall 2005 seeking up to 1,500 average-megawatts of new power-supply resources. Out of 120-plus submitted bids, the Goldendale purchase is the first agreement among PSE’s seven short-listed proposals announced in summer 2006. The plant’s power costs are among the lowest of all the power-supply proposals PSE received, Reynolds noted

 Combined with PSE’s recent nearly $600 million in wind generation facility additions, Goldendale’s power output will nearly eliminate all of the projected power-supply shortfall PSE would otherwise face in winter 2008 to meet its customers’ rising energy needs. PSE’s electric-customer base, currently numbering more than 1 million, is anticipated to continue to grow by about 20,000 customers annually.

 Subject to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the court administering Calpine’s bankruptcy proceedings, the acquisition is expected to close by March 2007.PSE intends to retain appropriate staff currently operating Goldendale.
