Carbon Sequestration Potential

   • The Indiana Geological Survey, in conjunction with the
     Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium, performed
     a CO2 Sequestration feasibility study as part of our overall
     feasibility study, focusing on the Edwardsport site
   • Conclusions:
          “There appears to be significant geological
          sequestration potential underlying the site.”
          “The most promising zones to evaluate further are the
          St. Peter and Mt. Simon Sandstones.”

            “The least cost plan in each of the sensitivities and
            scenarios contained either the 80% or 50% share of
            the IGCC unit at Edwardsport during the 2011 to
            2014 timeframe…”

      • We are working a schedule that anticipates an order
        from the Commission in mid 2007

State of Indiana Support for IGCC

        Gov. Daniels Plan – Economic Growth from Hoosier
        Homegrown Energy:
         • Reduces dependency upon outside sources for
           basic energy needs
         • Allows Indiana to fully utilize in-state coal resources
         • Builds and modernizes energy
           generation capacity for use both
           internally and for potential export
         • Develops high tech, high paying jobs
         • Shows significant decreases in
           emissions of SO2, NOx, and can
           more easily accommodate new
           CO2 emission controls, if required

Response to our CPCN Filing

        Governor Daniels said he is enthusiastic about the action
        taken by the companies that could lead to construction of
        Indiana's first new baseload power plant in 20 years. The
        state's new Hoosier Homegrown Energy Plan calls for such
        new facilities to produce needed energy supplies from
        Indiana coal and biomass using state-of-the-art technology.
            "I can't pretend I'm neutral on their idea. Our state needs
            the power, our coal miners and construction workers
            need the jobs, and southwest Indiana needs the overall
            economic boost. Obviously, the Commission must see
            that the legal requirements are met, but this is exactly
            the kind of progress our energy strategy calls for,"
            said Daniels.

        construction & operating costs
      • IN SB 378 – investment tax credit of 10% of project
        cost for the first $500 million and 5% of the remaining
        cost paid over a 10-year period with some restrictions
      • Property tax abatement and a tax incremental finance
        district are already approved in Knox County Indiana

Energy Policy Act of 2005

      • DEI has submitted an
        application under the
        bituminous coal category
      • The Federal Tax Credit is
        very important to the
        financial viability of the
        early deployment projects
      • Yes – we need the
        money…

Status of Air Permitting

      • Air Permit filed with Indiana Department of
        Environmental Management on August 18, 2006
      • There are net reductions of SO2 and NOx from the
        site, therefore no PSD evaluation or BACT analysis is
        required for these pollutants
      • Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. and Duke EH&S developed the
        application based on worst-case coal data and
        no SCR
      • SCR is not required, but DEI plans to install SCRs as
        long as the reference design continues to support their
        use
      • Additional modeling and finalization of emission rates
        is ongoing as the plant design continues
