March 14, 2005 March 14, 2005 Duke COLA Study Duke COLA Study 33 Overview of Dukes Plans Q Dukes system planning indicates additional generating capacity required over next 10 -
15 years Q Current evaluation of generation options indicates that nuclear power could be advantageous to our customers Q Duke is currently performing a study to establish the scope of work, schedule and cost for obtaining a COL
March 14, 2005 March 14, 2005 Duke COLA Study Duke COLA Study 44 Overview of Dukes Plans Q Dukes plans for a possible COLA support maintaining the option to bring a new nuclear power plant into service during the next decade Q Contingent upon study results and management approval, Duke plans to proceed with developing a COLA Q Dukes COL efforts do not supplant our involvement with NuStart Q Duke is working closely with NEI on finalizing NEI 04-01 to improve industry guidance for COL applications
March 14, 2005 March 14, 2005 Duke COLA Study Duke COLA Study 55 Overview of Dukes Plans Tentative milestones for a possible COLA:
Q Site selection by the end of 2005 Q Reactor technology selection by the end of 2005, presently considering:
GEs ESBWR Framatome ANPs EPR Westinghouses AP1000 Q COL application submittal to NRC in early 2008
March 14, 2005 March 14, 2005 Duke COLA Study Duke COLA Study 66 COLA Scenarios Q Base case: certified design with greenfield site Q Alternatives to the base case:
