Powering Growth, Delivering Value 25 ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN Regional Haze compliance is the biggest driver of environmental spend over the next few years Regional Haze / BART (SCR) Mercury and Other Hazardous Air Pollutants (ACI + Baghouse) Coal Combustion Residuals EPA Ruling Announced in 1999, with site-specific requirements announced more recently MATS compliance by April 2015, with potential for one-year extension Announced on December 19, 2014 (Subtitle D) Four Corners Units 4 & 5 Approximately $400M for SCRs in 2016-2018 (does not include CAPEX related to 4CA 7% interest) $0 APS estimates its share of incremental costs to comply with the CCR rule for Four Corners is approximately $15 million, and its share of incremental costs for Cholla is in the range of $5 million to $40 million. APS expects to incur certain of these costs during 2016-2018 timeframe. Cholla Units 1-3 On April 26, 2017, APS’s BART Reassessment for Cholla took effect, which avoids the need for additional pollution controls. This BART compliance approach required the closure of Unit 2 by April 2016 and the cessation of coal-burning for Units 1 and 3 by April 2025.1 $8M Navajo Units 1-32 Up to ~$200M for SCRs and baghouses; on March 20, 2017, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied petitions for review challenging this better-than-BART compliance alternative Approximately $1M Approximately $1M Note: Dollars shown at ownership. Estimates as of March 31, 2017. • Cholla: Unit 1 is not BART-eligible; Unit 2 retired on October 1, 2015; Unit 4 is owned by PacifiCorp. • SO2 NAAQS and greenhouse gas-related costs will be determined based upon EPA rule makings, with no spend occurring before 2016. • ACI = Activated Carbon Injection; NAAQS = National Ambient Air Quality Standard; SCR = Selective Catalytic Reduction control technology 1 Because the parties opposed to this BART compliance approach did not file petitions for review as to the EPA’s final rule, the Cholla BART Reassessment is now effectively final without risk of further judicial intervention. 2 On February 13, 2017, the co-owners of the Navajo Plant voted not to pursue continued operation beyond December 2019, the expiration of the current lease term.
Powering Growth, Delivering Value 26 Emissions • 820 MW of coal has been retired including 560 MW at Four Corners Units 1-3 in 2013 and 260 MW at Cholla Unit 2 as of October 1, 2015. • Four Corners: The 2013 transaction to purchase Southern California Edison’s ownership in Units 4 and 5 led to the closure of units 1, 2 & 3. We are currently installing $400 million in pollution control equipment on Units 4 and 5 that is designed to reduce NOx emissions from those units up to 90%. When the new pollution control equipment comes on line in 2018, the total NOx emissions from all APS power plants will be 83% lower than our total NOx emissions were in 2012. • Cholla Power Plant: Closure of Unit 2 as of October 1, 2015 will reduce mercury emissions by 51%, particulates by 34%, NOx by 32%, and CO2 and SO2 by 23% each. We also announced plans to work with the U.S. EPA to stop burning coal at our remaining Cholla units by the mid-2025. • Navajo Generating Station: On February 13, 2017, the co-owners voted not to pursue continued operation of the plant beyond December 2019, the expiration of the current lease term (2032 includes NGS generation). COAL FLEET STRATEGY APS’s proactive approach to reducing emissions leads to coal’s expected share of the energy mix being reduced to 11% (970 MW) 3% 8% 13% 13% 12% 18% 26% 33% 21% 11% 25% 17% 2017 2032 P e rc e n t o f P o rt fo li o M W h Note: RE = Renewable Energy; DE = Distributed Energy; EE = Energy Efficiency Data shown is based on the 2017 Integrated Resource Plan filed April 10, 2017.

Powering Growth, Delivering Value 27 WATER STRATEGY APS, and Palo Verde in particular, has provided national and international leadership on the use of reclaimed water for power generation 74% 13% 13% Reclaimed Water Groundwater Surface Water APS 2016 Fleet Water Use By Source Type Vision: APS continues to strive for sustainable and cost-effective water supplies for energy production for APS customers. Mission: To execute a strategic water resource management program that provides APS timely and reliable information to manage our water resources portfolio efficiently and effectively, and helps ensure long-term water supplies and water contingency plans for each of our facilities, even in times of extended drought. • Each APS power plant has a unique water strategy, developed to promote efficient and sustainable use of water. In 2016, we reduced groundwater use by 28% compared to 2014 usage, far surpassing our goal of 8%. Water Usage and Intensity: Over the next 10 years, our goal is to reduce water intensity company-wide by 20% compared to a 2014 baseline. Our current initiatives include: • Reducing consumption of non-renewable water resources by 10% in 2017 over 2014 baseline, and • Reducing consumption of non-renewable water resources by 12% in 2018 over 2014 baseline. Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station: The only nuclear power plant in the world that is not located next to a large body of water.
