(a)
The valuation techniques, unobservable inputs and ranges are the same for the asset and liability positions.
(b)
Quoted forward natural gas rates are utilized to project the forward power curve for the delivery of energy at specified future dates. The natural gas curve is extrapolated beyond its observable period to the end of the contract’s delivery.
(c)
The fair values do not include cash collateral posted on level three positions of $201 million as of December 31, 2015.
(d)
Unlike the previous year, the New England region was not a significant driver for the upper end of the ranges for power and gas as of December 31, 2015.

(c)
The fair values do not include cash collateral posted on level three positions of $172 million as of December 31, 2014
(d)
The upper ends of the ranges are driven by the winter power and gas prices in the New England region. Without the New England region, the upper ends of the ranges for power and gas would be approximately $97 and $8.14, respectively and would be approximately $76 for power proprietary trading.
