    2. Sustainability

    3. SUSTAINABILITY exploiting natural resources without destroying the ecological balance of an area able to be maintained

    4. SUSTAINABILITY “Sustainable development challenges the entire industrial and commercial system to restructure itself…” Warren Bennis  (1925 - ) U.S. Educationalist and Writer Beyond Leadership: Balancing Economics, Ethics and Ecology, 1994

    5. Renewable energy utilizes natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. What is Renewable Energy?

    6. The Southeast has almost no potential for wind energy

    7. Wind Potential Maps show potential for wind and solar use in the U.S. Dark blue and red show the best options for wind/ The Southeast has almost no opportunity for wind generation -- only potential sites are pristine southern Appalachian ridge tops and off-shore 80% of all new Renewable Generation is through wind turbine additions >5000 MW added in 2006! ~>3300 Turbines Maps show potential for wind and solar use in the U.S. Dark blue and red show the best options for wind/ The Southeast has almost no opportunity for wind generation -- only potential sites are pristine southern Appalachian ridge tops and off-shore 80% of all new Renewable Generation is through wind turbine additions >5000 MW added in 2006! ~>3300 Turbines

    8. Where We’re Headed Researching wind potential off the Georgia coast Maps show potential for wind and solar use in the U.S. – Darkest colors show the best options for wind. The Southeast has almost no opportunity for wind generation -- only potential sites are pristine southern Appalachian ridge tops and off-shore A joint study beginning in 2004 of wind power generation potential off the Georgia coast, conducted by Georgia Tech and Southern Company, concluded that there may be enough wind – in the 15- to 17-mph range – to power an offshore wind farm. What’s Next: Earlier this year Southern Company nominated three sites off Tybee Island for the placement of meteorological towers to collect additional data. Southern Company is currently working with Minerals Management Service of the Department of the Interior to permit installation and operation of meteorological towers. MMS will conduct a public meeting in Savannah on Nov. 12, 2008 as part of a rulemaking process to instruct entities on how to apply and install alternative energy projects on the Outer Continental Shelf. There has been a moratorium on all of these activities in federal water since July 2005 Issues: Current commercial offshore wind turbines are not built to withstand major hurricanes above a Category 3 or a 1-minute sustained wind speed of 124 mph. While available wind data indicates that a wind farm located offshore in Georgia would likely have an adequate wind speed, project costs run approximately 50% – 100% higher than land-based systems. Based on today’s prices for wind turbines, a commercial size 50 MW to 160 MW offshore wind farm could produce electricity at 12.9 to 8.2 cents/kWh respectively. Potential benefits: • Free fuel for the duration of the project with no impacts from increasing fuel prices. • Renewable energy credits and/or potential reduced costs from carbon credits/avoided taxes. • Potential for the creation of a new industry and new job opportunities within Southern Company’s service territory.Maps show potential for wind and solar use in the U.S. – Darkest colors show the best options for wind.

    9. Solar Intensity: United States Birmingham 99 Pensacola 105 Savannah 104 Las Vegas 210 The solar resource is moderate, but not significant. Birmingham 99 Pensacola 105 Savannah 104 Las Vegas 210 The solar resource is moderate, but not significant.

    10. Making Solar Work Evaluating cutting-edge solar technologies 7 photovoltaic technologies installed on roof of corporate office 5 kilowatts in size each Collect data for 12 months – work with third-party consultant to evaluate performance Potential to expand by 2011 Bottom line at this point Cost-effective solar energy will require large reductions in installation costs and significant increases in PV efficiency As part of our commitment to deliver environmental solutions, we are studying ways to make solar power work in the Southeast. We have a host of demonstration projects under way. The company will install seven photovoltaic (PV technologies) on the roof of the Georgia Power corporate office in Atlanta. The test projects should be up and running in the fourth quarter of 2008. The project will collect date for 12 months; then we’ll work with an independent consultant to evaluate the performance of each technology. We also work with Georgia Tech on solar research. Currently, we are funding Dr. Ajeet Rohatgi as a Georgia Power Distinguished Professor. He is responsible for Georgia Tech’s University Center of Excellence for Photovoltaic Research and Education. Photo Explanation: This 340-kilowatt, rooftop solar system was installed on the Georgia Tech swim center during the 1996 Olympics. It was a $5 million project. Georgia Power paid $1.8 million; the remainder was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and Georgia Tech. Today, the Center produces enough electricity to provide 30-40 percent of the building's power needs - an amount sufficient to energize 70 average homes.

    11. PV technology can be applied to pitched residential rooftops, flat-roof commercial buildings, and “central station” power.

    12. Where We’re Headed, Making Solar Work Partnership with Cadmus Construction to create a solar community in Roswell First neighborhood in the Southeast to apply for Platinum-level LEED-ND® certification Georgia Power installed hybrid metering system Homes billed for electricity at regular rate Second meter registers production of electricity from solar roof systems, and Georgia Power buys back the electricity Provides renewable energy to the grid, much of it during peak demand Community has the capacity to reduce 180 tons of carbon emissions per year The integrated solar roof system uses the sun’s thermal energy to produce hot water for the homes and photovoltaics to produce electricity. LEED-ND – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Neighborhood Developments (LEED-ND) - certified buildings have demonstrated energy conservation and addressed concerns for site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. “This system alone provides the capacity for this community of eight homes to eliminate more than 180 tons of carbon emissions per year. Other environmental features used in the neighborhood include rain-harvesting and stream buffer restoration, as well as green design and engineering methodologies, which will help offset hundreds more tons of emissions. The development received a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score of 47, which means the homes will be 53 percent more energy efficient than other new homes built to the 2006 Energy Code. As part of the development’s green impact, Southern Company and Cadmus Construction are also partnering with Kennesaw State University on a related environmental education outreach initiative. This initiative will use Weatherford Place as an environmental development model for Kennesaw students to study in core science and science education classes.The integrated solar roof system uses the sun’s thermal energy to produce hot water for the homes and photovoltaics to produce electricity.

Adds Fuel Diversity Utilizes Locally Produced Biomass Fuel 50-75 new jobs in harvesting wood fuel Maximizes the Life and Value of an Existing Resource Adds Fuel Diversity Utilizes Locally Produced Biomass Fuel 50-75 new jobs in harvesting wood fuel Maximizes the Life and Value of an Existing Resource

    17. Developing Green Energy Solutions Building renewable generation Now – 136 MW – 34,000 homes Future – 580 MW – wood waste, landfill methane gas, everyday trash Providing Green Energy to customers Investing $4.5 million on renewable energy research Evaluating bio-mass generation at Plant Mitchell Building renewable generation -- Three years ago, we had less than 1 megawatt of renewable energy. Today, we have contracts for 136 megawatts, with plans to push that to 580 megawatts in the future. (CLICK) More than 4,000 customers have already signed up for green energy. They’ve purchased more than 16,000 blocks of green energy. How significant is that? Buying just one block of green energy per month per year is equivalent to planting 125 trees or not driving 2,000 miles. You can expect demand for green energy to increase. (CLICK) For renewable energy to make a larger contribution toward meeting overall demand and achieve its associated environmental benefits, Southern Company will pursue equity investments in renewable energy projects, such as wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal, throughout the country where they are economically feasible; research renewable energy technologies; and identify and implement economically feasible renewable technologies that take advantage of native resources and work well in the Southeast. Georgia Power and Southern Company have invested $4.5 million over the last five years in renewable research. (Solar demonstration projects at schools across the state, Fernbank Science Center; working with Georgia Tech to evaluate wind off Georgia coast) (CLICK) Plant Mitchell evaluating converting Unit 3 to burn 100 percent biomass as early as 2011 – would be the first Georgia Power unit to burn wood only. When fired with coal, Mitchell 3 produces 164 MW. With wood, we anticipate we will produce about 80 MW. Mitchell's potential needs may be 950,000 tons of wood per year to fuel the unit. (Tom Johnson will talk about Southern Company’s biomass efforts in a session after the upcoming break.)

    18. Landfill Methane Gas (LMG) LMG is certified as an abundant renewable generation resource which by production was over eleven times the total solar photovoltaic generation in the U.S. for 2007. The conversion of LMG to a generation source also eliminates the methane emissions from landfills which are of particular concern due to the fact that it is 21 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Georgia Power has a contract with the Seminole Landfill facility to purchase 22,500 MwH, or enough energy to power approx. 2,000 homes.

    19. Where We’re Headed Building renewable generation Future – 580 MW – wood waste (biomass), landfill methane gas, everyday trash Investing $4.5 million on renewable energy research Adding two zero-emission nuclear power units ***See Detailed Notes on Attached Document*** ***See Detailed Notes on Attached Document***

    20. Promoting Energy Efficiency Invest $43 million annually in 18 different demand-response and energy efficiency programs Will reduce demand by 1,000 megawatts by 2010 Distributed more than 200,000 compact fluorescent light bulbs Provided energy efficiency advice to more than 150,000 customers in past three years Georgia Power will invest $43 million annually in 18 different demand response and energy efficiency programs, including six new programs recently approved by the Georgia Public Service Commission. These programs are expected to reduce electricity demand by 1,000 megawatts by 2010. This represents more than 5 percent of Georgia Power’s current total load. Example: Energy Star Appliance Program Power Credit programs Over the past two years, through promotion of the Change a Light campaign, Georgia Power has distributed more than 200,000 compact fluorescent light bulbs to consumers across Georgia who have pledged to change at least one standard light bulb in their home to a compact fluorescent bulb. We’re a national leader in this effort. For our efforts, Georgia Power received the 2007 Excellence in ENERGY STAR Promotion Award. Promoting energy efficiency is another way we live green. Let’s see how we’re integrating efficiency messages into our advertising campaign.

    27. Lighting Tax Incentive Programs Special lighting - only audits Provide payback calculations Federal Tax Deduction EPACT 2005 Extended to 2013 State Tax Credit Ga HB 670 Georgia Power Rebates for Non-Profit Customers 20% up to $5,000 Limit 5 Facilities per Customer EPACT – Energy Policy Act of 2005 About 2 years ago we told the PSC in our IRP filing that we would help Customers get the Federal tax incentive. The lighting-only accelerated tax deduction offered via EPAct 2005’s Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction is based on achieving lower lighting power densities than the minimum required by ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2001 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, the national energy standard for all commercial construction in the United States. Standard 90.1 is also the standard for all Federal building construction, and was adopted for the 2001 version of the International Energy Conservation Code (ICC). We started offering special lighting – only audits We sent out mailings and gave a quick audit and payback, and information about the federal tax deduction. There was a deadline of December 31st 2008. That was extended in the Bailout bill to 2013 $0.60 / sq ft. if 40% less that ASHRAE 90.1 2001 (deduction). All buildings covered by ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2001 qualify under the Commercial Buildings Deduction rules. Iincludes public buildings, schools and rental housing. Rental housing must be within the scope of Standard 90.1-2001, which includes residential buildings four stories or higher. Georgia wanted to help customers to improve their lighting and created House bill 670 It provides a tax credit of $0.60 / sq ft if 30% less than ASHRAE 90.1 2004 Some of our customers don’t pay taxes, and we wanted help them We will pay 20% of t he cost of a lighting project that would qualify for the fed tax deduction up to $5000 EPACT – Energy Policy Act of 2005 About 2 years ago we told the PSC in our IRP filing that we would help Customers get the Federal tax incentive.
