Final Clean Power Plan • More aggressive renewable energy deployment in the determination of best system of emission reduction • Compliance tools changed – Only post-2012 renewable energy can generate emission-reduction credits in a rate-based program – Removed existing nuclear component so only incremental nuclear (new and uprates) can be utilized – New natural gas combined cycle cannot be used to average down an emission rate – In a mass-based program, the state must address new units based on concerns of “leakage” • The U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay February 9, 2016, of the implementation of the Clean Power Plan pending the outcome of the litigation pending in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and through any action taken on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court

Other Regulations and Impacts • Coal Combustion Residuals – PacifiCorp operates 9 surface impoundments and 4 landfills – MidAmerican Energy owns or operates 9 surface impoundments and 4 landfills – NV Energy operates 2 active evaporative surface impoundments and 2 landfills • Effluent Limitation Guidelines – For BHE’s operating companies, impacted waste streams are limited to bottom ash transport water, fly ash transport water, combustion residual leachate and non-metal cleaning wastes – With minor exceptions, most of the new requirements are addressed by compliance with the coal combustion residuals rule • Revised Ozone Standards – Unit retirements and installation of NOx controls are expected to assist in achieving attainment – Revision from 75 ppb to 70 ppb is not expected to result in significant impacts on BHE’s operating companies

AltaLink Regulatory Update 2017-2018 General Tariff Application (GTA) • On February 16, 2016, the 2017-2018 GTA was filed with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) which included C$270 million of proposed rate relief during 2017-2018 • On March 15, 2016, the Alberta Utilities Commission suspended further processing until after the release of the 2015-2016 GTA decision 2015-2016 GTA • On November 18, 2014, the 2015-2016 GTA was filed with the AUC • An amendment to the GTA was filed on June 1, 2015, which included C$417 million of proposed rate relief during 2015-2016 including a request for higher equity thickness to solidify the capital structure • AltaLink filed an update to the GTA on October 16, 2015, which reduced capital expenditures by C$0.5 billion in 2015 and C$0.4 billion in 2016 • Hearing took place in December 2015 • Decision is expected May 2016 2012-2013 Direct Assign Capital Deferral Account • AltaLink is seeking approval for approximately C$1.7 billion of direct assign capital projects which entered service in 2012-2013. • Hearing ended in January 2016 • Decision is expected in Q2 2016
![Page 137](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001081316-16-000028/ic2016137.jpg)
AltaLink Regulatory Update cont’d Other Regulatory EPCM Rates • In its November 2013 decision pertaining to ALP’s 2013-2014 GTA (Decision 2013-407), the AUC directed ALP to re-forecast the capital project expenditures for 2013 and 2014 EPCM services to reflect a two times labour multiplier and other approved mark-ups. While the AUC has not disallowed the new EPCM rates that ALP negotiated, there is a risk that, in a future direct assigned capital deferral account decision, the AUC may disallow a portion of the costs ALP has incurred for EPCM services in connection with capital projects executed under these relationship agreements. ALP applied to the Alberta Court of Appeal for Leave to appeal Decision 2013-407. The hearing of the application has been adjourned to August 2016. In Decision 2013-407, ALP has requested approval of the capital project expenditures, including the new competitively bid EPCM rates, in its 2012- 2013 direct assigned capital deferral account filing. ALP filed additional evidence supporting the new EPCM rates in 2015 as part of the 2012-13 DACDA. A decision on the 2013-13 DACDA is expected Q2 2016. Utility Asset Disposition Appeals • In November 2013, the AUC issued its Utility Asset Disposition (UAD) Decision in which it concluded, amongst other things, that in the case of the extraordinary retirement of an asset before it is fully depreciated, under or over recovery of capital investment on an extraordinary retirement is for the account of the utility and its shareholders. • AltaLink and other utilities appealed the AUC’s UAD Decision to the Alberta Court of Appeal, but the appeal was dismissed on September 18, 2015. • On November 17, 2015, AltaLink, Epcor and Enmax, filed a joint leave application to the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) for appeal of the Alberta Court of Appeal’s UAD Decision. • On January 7, 2016 an Intervener filed a response to this application; AltaLink and Epcor subsequently filed a joint response to this intervener response on January 18, 2016. Southwest Project Audit • On July 30, 2012, we filed an application with the AUC for approval of, among other matters, the reconciliation of certain deferral accounts for the years 2010 and 2011 (2010-2011 DACDA), including the Southwest Transmission Development project (SW Project) which included total project costs of C$609 million. The AUC ordered an independent audit to be conducted for the SW Project. The AUC retained Midgard Consulting Inc. to perform the audit. The audit report was completed in April 2015. • A hearing with respect to the audit report was held on October 2, 2015. The AUC released its final decision on the Southwest project costs on January 20, 2016. The decision found AltaLink acted prudently on all accounts and no disallowances were issued.

The bushing issues have a minimal impact to cash flows and coverage ratios Wind • Jumbo Road – Achieved project completion in March 2015, with commercial operation under its PPA in April 2015 • Marshall Wind – 72 MW project acquired in September 2015, with commercial operation expected in second quarter 2016 • Grande Prairie Wind – 400 MW project acquired in February 2015 – Construction mobilization in August 2015, with commercial operation expected in fourth quarter 2016 Tax Equity • Executed five agreements for wind projects to provide tax equity investments of approximately $840 million Geothermal • Imperial Valley projects have 328 MW out of 338 MW with long-term contracts that expire between 2016 to 2026. Upon expiration, 244 MW out of 338 MW have been contracted with maturities between 2028-2039. 42 MW out of the remaining 94 MW are currently being marketed. The remaining MW do not become available until 2026-2030

Extension of Tax Legislation – Industry Impact • Omnibus spending bill extended and phased out tax credits for wind and solar • Wind PTC/ITC • 2016 – 100% • 2017 – 80% • 2018 – 60% • 2019 – 40% – Retains “start of construction” language – Developers will have the option to claim a 30% ITC instead of the PTC during the same period and with the same phase down rate • Solar ITC • 2016-2019 – 30% • 2020 – 26% • 2021 – 22% – Projects under construction before these deadlines must be placed in service by December 31, 2023 to qualify. The ITC will revert to its permanent 10% level beginning January 1, 2024 • 50% bonus depreciation extended for five years, now expiring January 1, 2020 – Ramps down to 40% and 30%, respectively, in the final two years

Evaluating Battery Technologies • Tesla Powerwall – Capacity: 1 kW – Energy: 7 kWh – Type: Lithium Ion – Capital Cost: $857/kWh – Lifetime cost: 24.9 cents/kWh • Tesla Utility-Scale – Capacity: 250 kW – Energy: 1000 kWh – Type: Lithium Ion – Capital Cost: $500/kWh – Lifetime cost: 14.7 cents/kWh • BYD Utility-Scale – Capacity: 250 kW – Energy: 1000 kWh – Type: Lithium Iron Phosphate – Capital Cost: $400/kWh – Lifetime cost: 8.2 cents/kWh Comments • The noted lifetime costs only relate to the actual cost of the battery over its useful life. Such costs do not reflect charging costs, energy losses, battery degradation, operating and maintenance costs and battery replacements • Due to the current high cost of this technology, penetration risk is very low and only possible in niche markets when the system can help avoid/defer a much larger expense on the transmission or distribution system
