changes in prices, availability and demand for wholesale electricity, coal, natural gas, other fuel sources and fuel transportation that could have a significant impact on generating capacity and energy costs;

hydroelectric conditions and the cost, feasibility and eventual outcome of hydroelectric relicensing proceedings that could have a significant impact on generating capacity and cost and PacifiCorp's ability to generate electricity;

Regulatory Integrity – Distributed Generation Update 19 • Nevada – On July 31, 2015, NV Energy filed, as required by Senate Bill 374, a new proposed tariff that would apply to customer- generators applying for net energy metered service after the existing 235 megawatt cap is met. The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada will hold hearings from November 18-20, 2015, with a ruling on the final tariff due by state law by December 31, 2015 – NV Energy is proposing a three-part rate design which includes a demand charge in order to assure cost shifting does not happen between customers within the rate class • PacifiCorp – Regulatory proceedings in Utah, Oregon, and Washington are addressing the benefits and costs of solar and net metering impacts. In Utah, hearings to establish a framework to evaluate costs and benefits have been completed and an order is expected by the end of 2015 – In Wyoming, PacifiCorp currently has a $20/month residential customer charge that mitigates the impact on fixed cost recovery from net metering program participants – In Idaho, the current participation level is relatively low and PacifiCorp is evaluating its net metering tariffs for potential changes in the future – PacifiCorp is performing load research studies on residential net metering customers in order to support alternative rate structures for net metering customers including higher customer charges and/or demand charges – As a cost-based alternative to net metering, PacifiCorp is also implementing a solar subscriber program in Utah, and in Oregon, a recent community solar investigation resulted in a commission recommendation to the legislature stating that utilities should be allowed to own community solar installations and community solar should be a state-wide program open to residential customers • Iowa – The Iowa Utilities Board has an open Notice of Inquiry docket on distributed generation. The docket is intended to gather input from all stakeholders on a wide range of topics related to distributed generation including interconnection considerations, system impacts, and net metering – There have been several Board Orders requesting comments and several workshops hosted by the Board as part of the Notice of Inquiry docket. MidAmerican is participating by filing comments to each Board Order and by actively participating in the workshops. MidAmerican comments include recommendations that the Board adopt three part cost of service based rates for new distributed generation customers as the best way to ensure any DG growth occurs in an equitable manner that does not shift part of the cost of service for DG customers to non-DG customers

Final Clean Power Plan 42 • More aggressive renewable generation deployment in the determination of best system of emission reduction • Compliance tools changed – Only post-2012 renewable generation 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”

• Changes to the 2012 baseline (i.e., removal of the renewable and nuclear generation) and not allowing pre-2013 renewables to be used for direct compliance make some of the targets more challenging • Impacts of the changes cannot be fully determined until the states develop their implementation plans • Key decisions for states that will impact costs and compliance – Rate or mass-based program – Distribution of allowances among affected electric generating units (and whether they are allocated or auctioned) – Whether intra- or interstate trading is adopted by the state, how broad the trading program is and whether the trading market is sufficiently liquid • Several states are currently litigating the final rule Compliance may be challenging but is achievable Clean Power Plan 111(d) Implications 44

NV Energy Environmental Position 50 • NV Energy is reducing its dependency on coal-fueled generation – 300 MW Reid Gardner Units 1-3 retired at end of 2014 – 257 MW Reid Gardner Unit 4 to be retired at end of 2017 – 255 MW ownership of Navajo Units 1-3 ends at end of 2019 • Customers currently benefitting from 1,186 megawatts (nameplate) of utility-scale renewable energy resources – 20 geothermal projects – 10 solar projects – 4 biomass/methane projects – 5 small hydro projects and Hoover Dam – 1 waste heat recovery project – 1 wind project


 
Other Regulations and Impacts 51 • Coal Combustion Residuals – PacifiCorp operates 9 surface impoundments and 4 landfills – MidAmerican Energy owns or operates 7 surface impoundments and 4 landfills – NV Energy operates 10 evaporative surface impoundments and 2 landfills • Effluent Limitation Guidelines – For BHE 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 operating companies
