3 3 3 Texas Nodal Program UpdateJuly 9, 2007 CostScheduleScope / Quality Legend Summary The program has made significant progress on reducing the backlog of NPRRs to synchronize all projects Amber The program is spending under budget through May’s actuals. Discussions with the ERCOT Executive Committee outlined possible ways to ensure we are on budget at completion. Amber TPTF/PRS approved Baseline 1 on June 12 and Baseline 2 on June 21. TAC recommended baseline 1&2 NPRRs on June 28. Program scope can be declared Green subject to Board approval of NPRRs for Baseline 1 and 2. Red Amber Green Estimate at Complete = <$248m Estimate at Complete = $248 - $263m Estimate at Complete = >$263m Go-live = 12/1/08 Go-live = <30 days+ Go-live = >30 days+ Program is aligned with current protocols Program is aligned to previous version of protocols Program is not wholly aligned to protocols EDS1 and 2 proceeding on schedule. EDS3 approach approved by TPTF on June 11. There are schedule risks in Baseline 1 & 2 which we are mitigating. Scope/ Quality Schedule Cost Nodal Delivery Nodal Delivery
