Levelised Cost of Energy based on information sourced by AGL including: the capital cost of the Liddell life extension works as advised by WorleyParsons (Advisian). AGL's discount rate in line with commercial target returns. Westpac Banking Corporation's forecast of the Newcastle coal price discounted based on the lower calorific value required for power station coal. A carbon emissions cost has been included as per AEMO's "Moderate" 2015 scenario. 2. Removal of the cost of carbon from the LCOE has the effect of reducing the Liddell Replacement portfolio to $82/MWh and the Liddell lifetime extension portfolio to $92/MWh. 12#13Plan to transform our options into commercial solutions Stage 1 (feasibility during 2019 or earlier) TECHNOLOGY GAS PROJECT NSW | Flexible gas peaker 250MW Announced closure date for Liddell Project delivery Bayswater | Efficiency upgrade 100 MW Development undertaken during existing outage schedule UPGRADE EXISTING Liddell | Synchronous condenser Ongoing generation Delivery DEMAND RESPONSE Up to 20MW Progressive trials & pilots Coopers Gap | 453MW RENEWABLES Silverton 200MW Project delivery Delivery agl Solar offtake (NSW) | 300MW Project delivery 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 FID (conditional¹) Delivery Approved 1.
