Exclusive Project finance old guard turns up at the DOE The USS. Department of Eneray has been quietly assembling a group of veteran Wall Street project financiers to work on renewable energy deals in its loan guarantee program. ‘The group, which includes former Bank of New York project finance head Lewis Hart; and Paul Barbian, former head of European project finance at UBS, are helping the DOE screen requests and structure Joan guarantees under the American:Recovery and Reinvestment Act. ‘The Act has provided $4 billion in appropriations to support up to $32 billion in foan guarantees for renewable energy projects. ‘Other project finance veterans now working with the DOE include David Siever, previously with Citibank; Tony Sprow, which worked on project finance deals in Asia for Chase Manhattan; and Jim McCrae, previously with G.E, and Philip Morris Capital Corp, Bankers who have made the transition from Wall Street to the DOE more recently include Nicholas Whitcombe, who was previously structuring non-investment grade energy deals at Jefferies & Co.; and Martin Cho, formerly in the global commodities group at J.P. Morgan Securities, Erik Codrington, most recently in the infrastructure & energy structured finance at Citigroup in New York, also landed at the DOE earlier this year, as first reported by SparkSpread on May 14. Recipients of conditional commitments for loan guarantees include Solyndra, a Fremont, Califbased solar photovoltaic panel manufacturer; and Beacon Power Corp., which is developing two 20 MW flywheel energy storage facilites. "Tt is taking a long time," says a DOE insider, responding to criticism of the loan guarantee process from Industry groups. ‘Nick Whitcombe GPC Correspondence 2“rf you think about it, you are setting up a bank, more or less from scratch, inside a federal agency that has never done this kind of work before," he notes, Todd E, Alexander Chadbourne & Parke LLP 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112 tel 212-408-5269 | fax 646-710-5269 talexander@ chadbourne.com | tto:/Awww.chadbourne,com vCard: http://www, chadboure,com/vcard/talexander. vc Please consider the environment before printing this ema ‘This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, Is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

Georgia Power: Judge's ruling won't affect power plant construction By Kristi. Swartz and Alexis Stevens The Atlanta Journal-Constitution 10:22 p.m. Friday, April 30, 2010 A Fulton County Superior Court judge ruled in favor of an environmental group Friday, but it won't affect Georgia Power's plan to build two nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle, the company said. The environmental group, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, filed the lawsuit challenging the Georgia Public Service Commission's decision to let the utility raise rates to pay for the plants before they start operating. On Friday, Judge Wendy Shoob said the PSC acted illegally by failing to properly document a justification for the reactors. “This is not related to the need for the project," Georgia Power spokesman Jeff Wilson told the AJC. "Construction will continue as scheduled on the new Vogtle units.” An attomey for SACE said Friday's ruling was a major victory for their efforts to stop the construction of the nuclear plants, which would be the first built in the U.S. in 30, years. The PSC contends the reactors are safe, but SACE attorney Michael Carvalho said the utilities regulatory commission doesn't have the facts to back it up. “Can we really say this is a tried and true technology? No we can't,” Carvalho told the AJC. ‘Nick Whitcombe GPC Correspondence 12Earlier this month, Shoob dismissed key portions of SACE’s lawsuit, which sought to block Georgia Power's ability to charge customers in advance for the plants’ construction, Shoob ruled it was too premature to contest the fees since rates had not yet been raised. SACE proceeded with its challenge of the PSC's approval of the project. Shoob sided with the environmentalists on Friday. ASC spokesman said the commission will consult with its legal counsel before taking any action. State lawmakers approved a law last year allowing Georgia Power, a Southern Co. subsidiary, to begin collecting $1.6 billion in financing and shareholder equity costs early. Under the new law, an average household would see an additional monthly charge of $1.30 on its electricity bill starting in 2011. That fee could reach $9.10 by 2017. ‘Supporters of the new law said the change would save about $300 million. SACE, however, argued the law is unconstitutional and forces small, residential users to bear a greater share of the costs than large, industrial power users. Friday's ruling does not affect the state law, Georgia Power's Wilson said. “We applaud the Judge's decision and continue to find it incredible that the Georgia Public Service Commission would put $14 billion of ratepayer money at risk on this project without properly documenting the factual basis behind this high risk decision,” said Stephen Smith, executive director of Souther Alliance for Clean Energy. -- The Associated Press contributed to this article.
