Nick,
‘See below from today's SparkSpread.
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.

has never done this kind of work before," he notes,

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 12Earlier 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.

Nick - 1 will have a draft of the MEAG term sheet done tomorrow, and It will take into account the
relevant progress that has been made so far on the GPC/OPC Term Sheets, However, given the GPC
meeting scheduled for tomorrow, Peter may not have an opportunity to review the MEAG draft until the
Weekend. I would propose that we send you our MEAG draft by the end of the weekend, so that it can
benefit from any input Peter may have (unless you would like to review the MEAG draft over the
weekend, in which case we could send it to you tomorrow subject to Peter's further input).
Please let us know if that works for you. Thanks.
