Page 1 of 3 Caimeco news News Releases &
Updates 2004 Cameco Signs Agreement to Add US Nuclear Generation March 01, 2004 Unk to AEP News Release Cameco Corporation announced today that one of Its wholly owned US subsidiaries has signed an agreement to purchase a 25.2%
interest In assets comprising the South Texas Project (STP) from a wholly owned subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP) for $333 million (US). Included In the purchase price Is $54 million (US) for fuel and non-fuel Inventory. STP consists of two 1,250 megawatt (MW) nuclear units located In Texas. The net generating capacity from the 25.2% Interest In STP is 630 MW. Each owner takes In kind and markets Its pro-rata share of electricity generated by STP.
The balance of STP Is held by Texas Genco (30.8%), San Antonio City Public Service Board (28%) and Austin Energy (16%). The Interest being purchased by Cameco Is subject to a right of first refusal In favour of these owners for a period of 90 days.
'If this acquisition Is successful, the South Texas Project will be another milestone In our vision to become a dominant nuclear energy company producing uranium fuel and generating clean electricity,' said Jerry Grandey, Cameco's president and chief executive officer.
'This Is a quality acquisition In two of the newer US reactors. STP has a history of solid operating performance, with dedicated employees led by a strong and experienced management team."
Cameco's Investment In STP Is expected to have a positive Impact on cash flow and net earnings after closing based on current operating performance and market conditions. Cameco does not Intend to Increase long-term debt and Is looking at various options to finance the purchase, Including Issuing equity.
'The ownership structure of STP is an Ideal fit for Cameco since It provides us the opportunity to be an active partner," Grandey said.
Cameco will participate In the governance of STP through an owners' committee and the board of directors of the operator.
AEP Is selling all of the generation assets owned by AEP Texas Central Company (TCC) to recover stranded costs under Texas electricity deregulation legislation. Texas Senate Bill 7 on restructuring of the electricity market provides for recovery of stranded costs as part of the transition to the competitive retail market.
The agreement Is also subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions, and the final purchase price Is subject to closing adjustments. The transaction Is expected to close In the second half of 2004.
STP Operations STP Is located on an 11,000 acre site approximately 90 miles southwest of Houston. The two units began production In 1988 and 1989 and their operating licences expire In 2027 and 2028, with the expectation that they will be extended. The operator of STP Is STP Nuclear Operating Company, a non-profit company with about 1,200 full time employees. The average capacity factor for the units was 84% over the last five years. The STP units are operated on an 18-month refueling and outage maintenance cycle, with a typical refueling outage of less than a month.
STP Electricity Market STP Is located within the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market that comprises about 85% of Texas electricity demand and does not extend beyond the state of Texas. ERCOT Is also the Independent system operator responsible for maintaining reliable operations of the bulk electric power supply system and balancing the supply and demand of electricity. The ERCOT market Is deregulated and almost all power Is sold under bilateral contracts between buyers and sellers. Commercial reporting services use their market Intelligence to publish prices for bilateral electricity contracts. There Is a small balancing market that accounts for less than 3%
of the market. Prices In this small market may not reflect bilateral contract prices.
Electricity demand In Texas Is almost equally from residential, commercial and Industrial users. While ERCOT has a limited ability to import electricity, there Is capacity In the market to meet the total demand as well as peak requirements, however, this capacity Includes older generators that are expensive to operate. Natural gas plants are the primary driver for electricity prices.
As a result of the acquisition, Cameco would market Its entire electricity share unencumbered by any previous contract commitments from AEP. The company has negotiated an Interim marketing arrangement with AEP.
STP Decommissioning At the end of the operating lives of the STP reactors, the owners, through STP Nuclear Operating Company, are responsible for decommissioning the facilities, with funding provided by the Texas ratepayers. Approximately $125 million (US) has been collected for decommissioning the share of STP that Cameco has agreed to purchase.

01 2 AEP News Release Page I of 2 AEP to sell its share of South Texas Project to Cameco Corporation COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 1, 2004 - American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) subsidiary Texas Central Co. (formerly known as Central Power and Light) has signed an agreement to sell its 25.2 percent share of the South Texas Project (STP) nuclear plant to Cameco South Texas Project LP, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Cameco Corp. for approximately $332.6 million. The final purchase price is subject to closing adjustments such as taxes and inventory. Proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce debt.
As of Dec. 31, 2001, the book value of AEP's share of STP was approximately $1.5 billion. AEP will file with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) to recover stranded costs associated with this asset pursuant to Texas restructuring legislation.
STP is a 2,500-megawatt nuclear plant located in Matagorda County, Texas, approximately 90 miles southwest of Houston. Texas Central Co.'s (TCC) 25.2 percent share of the plant is approximately 630 megawatts. STP co-owners include Texas Genco (30.8 percent), San Antonio City Public Service Board (28 percent) and Austin Energy (16 percent). The plant is operated by STP Nuclear Operating Company.
The sale of TCC's share of STP is subject to a right of first refusal of the co-owners. The sale is also subject to regulatory approvals including federal clearance pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and approvals from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. If the right of first refusal is not exercised, AEP expects the sale to close in the second half of 2004.
"We are pleased to announce a sale agreement for STP as we continue moving forward with the sale of all of our Texas Central generating assets In conjunction with the PUCT advisors and legal counsel," said Michael G. Morris, AEP's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We are evaluating bids for the other TCC generating assets, including a 632-megawatt coal-fired generating plant, eight natural gas-fired plants and a small hydro facility, and are working diligently to expedite the sale of these remaining facilities in order to file for stranded cost recovery."
AEP announced plans in December 2002 to sell all of the generation assets owned by TCC to determine their market value for calculating stranded costs (the amount that the book value exceeds the market value of the assets) under Texas electric restructuring legislation. A competitive bidding process for the assets began in June 2003. Credit Suisse First Boston LLC is AEP's advisor for the sale.
Texas Senate Bill 7 on electric restructuring provides for recovery of stranded costs as part of the transition to a competitive retail market. Once the PUCT approves the amount of stranded costs, Senate Bill 7 permits the PUCT to authorize recovery of stranded costs through transmission and distribution rates, Including costs associated with the issuance of securitization revenue bonds.
The 4,497 megawatts of TCC generation had a net book value of approximately $1.8 billion on Dec. 31, 2001.
Cameco Corp., based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is the world's largest uranium supplier providing uranium products to generate electricity in nuclear plants around the world. Cameco's shares trade on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges.
