• In February 2014, a stormwater pipe break beneath an ash basin at a retired Duke Energy coal fired generating plant caused a release of coal ash into the Dan River – Up to 39,000 tons of ash was released into the Dan River – Cleanup is ongoing and local residents are concerned about impacts to drinking water and the environment – The pond was ranked as a significant hazard by the EPA • When operational, the Duke Energy Dan River facility handled ash from its coal combustion process in a ‘wet’ form and stored it in on-site ash basins Ash Ponds


 
• To contrast, NV Energy’s Reid Gardner and North Valmy facilities manage their waste streams in a different process – NV Energy has no active, or former ash ponds. Once generated, ash is removed from the boilers in dry form and either sold for beneficial use or disposed in permitted, on-site landfills for final disposal – Reid Gardner and North Valmy are zero discharge facilities and do not place any waste streams into the nearby Muddy and Humboldt Rivers Ash Ponds


 
• Nevada has a renewable portfolio standard determined as a percent of retail energy sales: Period Requirement 2011-2012 15% 2013-2014 18% 2015-2019 20% 2020-2024 22% 2025 and after 25% • NV Energy – South met 20.3% in 2013 • NV Energy – North met 34.7% in 2013 • Over 1,000 megawatts of renewable generation – Mainly geothermal (approximately 75%) – Almost exclusively through power purchase agreements Renewable Portfolio Standard


 
• As of Dec. 31, 2013, there were 3,317 Distributed Generation (DG) Systems totaling 61,746 kW connected to the NV Energy grid – This represents 27.2% of the statewide metering cap • NV Energy and MidAmerican’s other utilities are focusing on the following key areas: – Rates and rate designs for retail sales of utility services to DG customers that reflect the costs of serving such customers & provide appropriate incentives for DG production that will benefit the grid – Appropriate prices to pay for DG production if the utility is required to purchase that production – Opportunities for the regulated utilities to own, lease or otherwise be involved in providing DG services requested by customers Impacts of Distributed Generation

Strong Investment Metrics • Return on book equity exceeds expectations • 35% growth in regulated asset value in DPCR5, primarily financed by operating cash flows • Inflation protection applies to revenue and regulated asset value (RAV) - averaging 3.3% p.a. since April 2007 • OpCo operating income remains strong, reflecting revenue growth, with a decrease due to pension expense • Strong credit ratings compare well with the rest of the sector Years Ended Dec. 31, (£ millions) - US GAAP 2013 2012 2011 Revenues 657 653 633 Operating income 323 357 384 Capex 431 286 193 RAV 2,660 2,504 2,334 Interest cover 3.9x 4.3x 4.3x Debt to RAV gearing 56% 55% 56% Ofgem’s DPCR5 final proposals for the 2010-15 period included growth for revenue and RAV – 7% underlying (real) revenue growth – 4% underlying (real) growth in RAV – RAV growth supplemented by 3.3% p.a. inflation from April 2007


 
• Safety performance is amongst the leaders in a high-performing industry • Delivery of the DPCR5 capex program is the main driver of value in the business; we are on target to hit our outputs for DPCR5, achieving an all-time high capex delivery in 2013 • Staying on target with over 85% of outputs delivered four years into the five- year price control period • Publicly forecast 14% outperformance of total cost allowances, no categories overspent • Customer service is mid-pack but trending positively • Implemented many new web-based services; the first U.K. group to offer online self-service transactions • Consistently exceeded our reliability and availability targets • Successfully delivering the largest smart grid project in the U.K., involving more than 13,000 end-users Strong Operational Performance


 
Outlook for the RIIO-ED1 Price Control Period 2014-2023 • Public policy reflects growing political pressure on energy affordability – UK government announced £50 per customer energy charge reduction in December 2013 – Parliamentary and regulatory scrutiny of energy companies is building – Competition Markets Authority is reviewing energy supply market – Carbon taxes and environmental schemes are under pressure for review • Utility regulators are reflecting lower risk free rates into allowed returns on equity – Ofgem initially set a base return on equity in a narrow range of 6.7% to 7.0% real, progressively lowering its reference point to 6.3% by November 2013 – The U.K. Competition Commission held a review of the settlement for Northern Ireland Electricity and set a much lower cost of equity than has previously been the norm  Consequently, Ofgem has revised down the mid-point of its range by 30bps to 6.0% – The Competition Commission used actual cost as a basis for a cost of debt – Ofgem’s cost of debt is based on the average of an index, currently below 3.0% real • Ofgem will review plans for five of the six companies during Q2-Q3, 2014 – Western Power Distribution’s plan is already approved – Northern Powergrid’s plan was rated as very strong by Ofgem and a number of key stakeholders and requires little change
