value received per MWh in 2011
– Decreased tolling revenues of ~$20MM resulting from the early termination
of a long-term toll on Kendall in 1Q2010

capacity for sale from Kendall due to the early termination of a long-term toll,
offset by reduced capacity revenues due to lower MISO capacity prices

$2.55 for 1Q10
