Increased gas, power and REC prices are expected to support customer
demand for renewables even with higher near-term input costs
1) Levelized cost of energy comparisons from January 2021 to May 2022
2) Includes fixed and variable O&M and fuel; existing natural gas assumes a 7,500 Btu/kWh heat rate; new
natural gas assumes 6,800 Btu/kWh heat rate and capital recovery
