$2.3 billion investment for Appalachian Power CSAPR (SO2 & NOx) MATS (mercury & air toxics) 1,735 MW of Coal displayed for Appalachian Power Proposed and/or Finalized Rules 316(b) Rule (water intake structures) 111(b) C02 C02 regulations for Existing plants APCo invested over $2.3 billion in environmental equipment to meet S02 and N0x rules Closing facilities to meet the MATS rules – These are the 4 plants I just covered in a previous slide Again, total of 1,735 MW of generation plant closings. APCo currently has enough generation capacity to meet its PJM load requirements. Compliance Timeline Contingent on State Implementation Plans Anticipated Rules Clean Power Plan 111(d) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Time From Rule Finalization to Compliance 2

7 Transmission Virginia Projects
Virginia Transmission • Four major transmission projects started construction in 2014 • Jackson ferry / clover dale (improvement of west to east flow of capacity)  Total budget for those projects is $428 million  Two projects pending approval from SCC Total amount of investment in Virginia for transmission projects already started = $450 million Cloverdale Station Expansion 500kV Yard

8 Transmission Virginia Projects
Four major transmission projects started construction in 2014 Jackson ferry / clover dale (improvement of west to east flow of capacity) Total budget for those projects is over $450 million There are also some additional projects pending approval from the SCC. Cloverdale Station Expansion 765kV Yard

9 Distribution Vegetation Rate Adjustment Clause (VRAC)
Transform distribution rights-of-way from looking like this … to this … Tree contacts account for about half of all power outages in Appalachian’s service area. To improve reliability legislation passed in the 2015 session that establishes a vegetation rate adjustment clause (VRAC) Appalachian implemented a three year vegetation management pilot program in 2013. 40% improvement in reliability from tree related outages 2008 – 2012 = 4500 total number of outages per year 2014 outages were reduced to 2000 (55% reduction on outages) VRAC will continue the momentum of reducing power outages and improving the reliability for all Appalachian Power Virginia customers.
