8 Regulation & Market Complexities Load growth Energy efficiency Distributed generation Replacement capacity Future power market 8

9 NuScale technology Cost competitive Why the CFPP Reduced exposure to environmental regulations Modular generation additions Small footprint on the land Phased development approach provides UAMPS the ability to gain clarity on regulation and market complexities and the cost of compliance costs -- compared to the costs relative to proceeding with the CFPP 9

10 Why the CFPP (cont) Cost competitiveness provides UAMPS with: Option as to carbon regulation in the future Fuel stability Stable regulatory environment Multiple generation fits well into future market structures EIM participation Fast ramp rate Integration of variable resources 10

11 What is a NuScale Power Module? A NuScale Power Module (NPM) includes the reactor vessel, steam generators, pressurizer and containment in an integral package that eliminates reactor coolant pumps and large bore piping (no LB-LOCA) Each NPM is 50 MWe and factory built for easy transport and installation Each NPM has its own skid-mounted steam turbine-generator and condenser Each NPM is installed below-grade in a seismically robust, steel-lined, concrete pool NPMs can be incrementally added to match load growth - up to 12 NPMs for 600 MWe gross (~570 net) total output 11
