• | Volatile power supply costs and demand for power; |
• | Hazards customary to the power production industry and power generation operations such as fuel and electricity price volatility, unusual weather conditions, catastrophic weather-related or other damage to facilities, unscheduled generation outages, maintenance or repairs, unanticipated changes to fuel supply costs or availability due to higher demand, shortages, transportation problems or other developments, environmental incidents, or electric transmission or gas pipeline system constraints and the possibility that the Registrants may not have adequate insurance to cover losses as a result of such hazards; |

• | The Registrants’ ability to enter into contracts to sell power and procure fuel on acceptable terms and prices; |
• | The liquidity and competitiveness of wholesale markets for energy commodities; |
• | Government regulation, including compliance with regulatory requirements and changes in market rules, rates, tariffs and environmental laws and increased regulation of CO2 and other GHG emissions; |
