2016 Integrated Resource Plan
• Filed annually with the South Carolina Public Service Commission
• 2016 IRP filed February 26, 2016
• Outlines the plan to retire and/or re-tool six coal-fired units
• Retired Canadys Units 1, 2, and 3
• Converted Urquhart Unit 3 to be fired with natural gas and dismantled coal handling facilities at this unit
• Capacity (250 MWs) of the remaining two coal-fired units, McMeekin Units 1 and 2, is required to maintain system reliability until the new nuclear capacity is available. Under MATS, these units cannot run on coal after April 15, 2016 so they will be fired with natural gas and any additional capacity needs will be purchased.

Long-Term Growth Rate - Reconciliation to GAAP
In addition to the guidance information provided on slide 12 of this presentation, which is provided using a GAAP-Adjusted Weather Normalized basis, the following information is provided in accordance with SEC Regulation G. Based on 2015 GAAP earnings per share of $5.22, the Company’s targeted average annual earnings per share growth rate is negative 6 to 0 percent over the next 3 to 5 years due to the
impact of the gains on the sales of the subsidiaries and incremental electric margins due to favorable weather in 2015.
