LITTLE 25 PEROT ANALYSIS MARKET SIZE SEMPRA'S TARGET MARKET - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A NUMBER OF ASSUMPTIONS WERE MADE TO CONVERT THE TOTAL MARKET TO SEMPRA'S TARGET MARKET. Assumptions - - Focus on attractive regions - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Regions with a significant contestable power market - Regions likely to have attractive future generation opportunities (capacity needs, spark spreads, etc.) - - Exclude segments which are difficult to penetrate (petroleum refining, primary metals, commodity chemicals, small commercial) - Exclusions of 35 percent for Industrial and 34 percent for Commercial - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Focus non-commodity services in the same states/segments as commodity supply - - Exclude equipment from non-commodity market Note: During our corporate strategy discussions, it was concluded that: - Generation is required to support the C&I market - Generation will need to be able to 'stand alone' in terms of economic returns As a result marketing areas selected are judged to be likely attractive generation locations ARTHUR D LITTLE 26 [PEROT SYSTEMS LOGO] ANALYSIS MARKET SIZE SEMPRA'S TARGET MARKET - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE TARGET STATES ARE CLUSTERED IN ATTRACTIVE LOCATIONS.
