(a)BL are designed for nearly continuous operation at or near full capacity to provide the system base load. IN follow system load changes with frequent starts and curtailments of output during low demand. PK are generally low efficiency, quick response units that run primarily when there is high demand.
(b)Based on the generating capacity of the EGUs included in MISO’s resource adequacy process for the planning period from June 2013 through May 2014.
(c)Represents IPL’s 48% ownership interest in this 726 MW (nameplate capacity) / 644 MW (generating capacity) EGU, which is operated by IPL.
(d)Refer to “Strategic Overview” in MDA for discussion of EGUs that may be retired or changed from coal-fired to an alternative fuel source in the next few years.
(e)Represents IPL’s 25.695% ownership interest in this 641 MW (nameplate capacity) / 623 MW (generating capacity) EGU, which is operated by MidAmerican.

(g)Represents IPL’s 4% ownership interest in this 810 MW (nameplate capacity) / 725 MW (generating capacity) EGU, which is operated by MidAmerican.
(h)Generating capacity represents 0% of the capacity of this wind project based upon the MISO resource adequacy process, which is determined separately for each wind site, during the planning period from June 2013 through May 2014. The 0% allocation resulted from the lack of firm transmission at this wind site during the planning period from June 2013 through May 2014.

At December 31, 2013, IPL owned approximately 19,696 miles of overhead electric distribution line and 2,843 miles of underground electric distribution cable, as well as 714 substation distribution transformers, substantially all of which are located in Iowa and Minnesota.

(b)Based on the generating capacity of the EGUs included in MISO’s resource adequacy process for the planning period from June 2013 through May 2014.
(c)Represents WPL’s 46.2% ownership interest in this 1,023 MW (nameplate capacity) / 1,091 MW (generating capacity) EGU, which is operated by WPL.
(d)Represents WPL’s 68.2% ownership interest in this 330 MW (nameplate capacity) / 309 MW (generating capacity) EGU, which is operated by WPL.
(e)Refer to “Strategic Overview” in MDA for discussion of EGUs that may be retired or changed from coal-fired to an alternative fuel source in the next few years.
(f)WPL was credited 568 MW of generating capacity for this EGU for the planning period from June 2013 through May 2014. WPL is utilizing 468 MW of the accredited generating capacity from Riverside to satisfy its PRM requirements and has sold 100 MW of the accredited capacity to a third party with a PPA through May 2014.
