This presentation contains statements that may be considered forward looking statements, such as management’s expectations of financial objectives and projections, capital expenditures, earnings growth, plant retirements, rate base, and new generation plans. These statements speak of the Company’s plans, goals, beliefs, or expectations, refer to estimates or use similar terms. Actual results could differ materially, because the realization of those results is subject to many uncertainties including regulatory approvals and results, unanticipated construction costs or delays, economic conditions in our service territories, and other factors, some of which are discussed in more detail in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. All forward looking statements included in this presentation are based upon information presently available and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward looking statements.

In addition, this presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations between the non-GAAP and GAAP measures are provided in this presentation.

Water Supply Needs*

*preliminary estimate

• Permanently retired approximately 30% of our fossil-fueled generation capacity since 2005, including over 1,000 megawatts of retired coal-fired generation.

• Air quality control systems reduce emissions from our remaining coal-fired generation.

Achieved SO2, NOx and Hg reduction targets one year early

Great progress toward achieving 2030 reduction targets
