Short Circuit
IPP February Monthly
This is our initial high yield utility monthly. In it, we update our thoughts on US Credit Research
the HY utilities we cover, provide credit and industry data and graphs, and
Dave Katz. CFA AC
summarize recent company and industry news. Over the last month, the Utilities
sector underperformed the high yield index, returning 1.37% to HY's 2.74%.
In the present monthly, we include an estimate of key IPPs sensitivity to a Bayina Bashtaeva
SI/MMBtu change in natural gas prices. Assuming constant heat rates, and
due to their differing generation and hedge portfolio, we estimate that Edison is
the most exposed, followed by GenOn and then NRG. Surprisingly, as a J.V. Mogan Securities LLC
percentage of LTM EBITDA, TCEH is not as exposed as some other credits.
• We estimate the impact on future revenues of changes in the PJM 2015/16
capacity auction prices. The most exposed credit (as measured by the revenue
effect of a $25/MW-day price change divided by LTM EBITDA) is GEN (13%).
GEN is followed by EME (8%), DYN (3%), CPN (2%), and NRG (<1%).
• We reiterate our Overweight on NRG credit and update our NRG financial
model in advance of earnings. We estimate that the company generated $384
million of EBITDA in 4Q11. We expect NRG will address the lower natural gas
price environment and how it will impact, if at all, its timeline to refinance the
2017 notes and the company's shareholder friendly actions (i.e., dividends and
share repurchases). We model a pick-up in shareholder friendly activities; this
assumption may prove conservative if the company does not refinance the 2017
notes and given that NRG may flex the activities down to help guard cash.
Despite these assumptions, and using the current natural gas forward price curve
(NGA <CMDTY> <GO> CCRV <GO>), we expect gross recourse debt
• leverage would increase from 4.2x to 5.3x at the end of 2013, before falling to
4.3x at the end of 2014. We believe NRG Energy is set up to survive an
extended period of low power prices.
We are downgrading our recommendation for Edison Mission Energy to
Neutral. We also update our Edison Mission Energy financial model. We
believe Edison Mission is one of the most exposed credits in the high yield IPP
universe to natural gas price declines. Using the current forward, while
assuming that natural gas price decreases result in heat rate increases, we
estimate that the company generates $77 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2012,
$309 million in 2013, and $582 million in 2014. We estimate that the company
would have $580 million of liquidity at the end of 2014, but this presupposes a
full refinance of both the EME credit facility and the Midwest Generation credit
facility. It also assumes that the 2013 notes are successfully refinanced.
Although we value Edison Mission's assets on a $/KW basis, we still believe
that the recovery has likely fallen over the last few months and that the notes
now trade ahead of recovery value whereas we believe they traded at or around
recovery value just a few months ago. Further, over that period, given the fall in
power prices, we believe the likelihood of a recovery scenario arising, has
increased. These factors arc behind our downgrade of the credit.

NRG Energy update
We have updated our NRG financial model in advance of earnings. We estimate that
the company generated $384 million of EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2011. Based
on the current forward curve, we estimate NRG will generate $1.75 billion in 2012.
We expect a more modest EIBTDA of $1.5 billion in 2013 as the company's hedges
fall off. We expect EBITDA of $1.8 billion in 2014.
On the conference call, we expect the company will spend time laying out how, if at
all, NRG's strategy has changed in the current low natural gas price environment.
We expect management will address its plans to refinance the 2017 notes. The notes
became callable on 15-Jan-12, and can currently be called at a price of 103.688. On
prior conference calls, management stated that it would refinance the 2017 notes in
early 2012 so that all of its senior notes would have essentially the same covenants.
The non-2017 notes and the credit agreement have a restricted payment basket that
grows by adjusted EBITDA minus 140% of interest expense. This should build much
more rapidly than the calculation under the 2017 notes, which is based on 50% of net
income.
We believe the company is likely to be fairly interest rate sensitive with regard to any
new debt issuance. As such, we expect the notes are only now approaching trading
levels that imply the company would undertake a refinance. Although we believe that
the company has over $3 billion of secured debt capacity, we do not think that NRG
would issue secured debt to refinance the 2017 notes.
We believe our model is conservative from the point of view of a credit investor. We
assume that the company refinances the 2017 notes and then completes $400 million
of share repurchases and $30 million of dividends in 2012. We assume $400 million
of share repurchases and $80 million of dividends in 2013. We believe these
assumptions are conservative because in a low natural gas price environment, we
would expect management would pull back somewhat on shareholder friendly
activities. However, even with these assumptions, we still estimate that the
company's liquidity ends 2013 at $1.5 billion, down from $1.9 billion at 3Q11. We
expect gross recourse debt leverage would increase from 4.2x to 5.3x at the end of
2013, before falling to 4.3x at the end of 2014. Net recourse leverage would increase
from 3.6x at the end of 3Q11 to 4.8x at the end of 2013, before dropping to 3.9x at
the end of 2014.
We believe NRG Energy is set up to survive an extended period of low power prices.
As we have indicated above, we believe the company has the relatively easy option
of decreasing shareholder friendly activities to guard cash. As such, we reiterate our
Overweight on NRG Energy.

Edison Mission Energy update
We updated our Edison Mission Energy financial model in advance of earnings and
following the downward move in the natural gas forward price curve. As we indicate
in the Natural gas price sensitivity section of this report, Edison Mission is the most
notable credit in the high yield IPP space that does not provide an estimate of the
effect of a $1/MMBtu change in natural gas prices. Further, we believe the company
is unlikely to provide 2012 EBITDA estimates in conjunction with its earnings
release/call given that the 2012 Southern California Edison General Rate Case
remains open. As such, analysts am unlikely to have clarity into the impact of recent
fonvard curve price changes in the short-term.
Using the current forward curve (accessed in Bloomberg by NGA <CMDTY> <GO>
CCRV <GO>) and assuming that natural gas price changes result in heat rate
changes, we estimate that the company generates $77 million of adjusted EBITDA in
2012, $309 million in 2013, and $582 million in 2014. We estimate that the company
would have $580 million of liquidity at the end of 2014, but this presupposes a full
refinance of both the EME credit facility and the Midwest Generation credit facility.
It also assumes that the 2013 notes are successfully refinanced. If the company were
so inclined, it could likely refinance all three of these facilities as secured debt. Using
2013 EBITDA, this would imply secured gross leverage of 4.9x. Still, the ability to
refinance has likely become more difficult as natural gas prices have fallen. Further,
a refinance of all three as secured debt would layer the non-2013 notes.
We value Edison Mission's assets on a $/KW basis (see our initiation linked here for
our original valuation), and do not feel that valuations should move in anything
approaching a 1:1 relationship to natural gas prices. However, we do feel that as
natural gas prices fall, the recovery value of the company's assets falls as well.
Recovery values also fall as it becomes more likely that the existing notes are
layered. Thus, we believe it is more easily posited that Edison Mission's bonds now
trade ahead of recovery value whereas we believe they traded at or around recovery
value just a few months ago. Further, over that period, given the fall in power prices,
we believe the likelihood of a recovery scenario arising, has increased.
As such, we arc don ngrading our recommendation for Edison Mission Energy
credit to Neutral from Overweight.

Natural gas price sensitivity
Natural gas prices have fallen substantially over the last two years. The curve as of
31-Dec-11 averaged roughly $4.37 per MMBtu, compared to $6.96 per MMBtu as of
31-Dec-09, for the roughly six-year period from February 2012 through the end of
2017.
However, following the end of the year, prices fell further and now average $4.10 per
MMBtu over the same 2012 — 2017 period. The forward curve currently does not
move above $4.00 per MMBtu until December 2013.

Given the rapid and substantial decline in natural gas prices, we believe many
investors will want to know the extent to which IPP's are exposed to natural gas
price moves.
There tends to be an inverse relationship between natural gas prices and heat rates.
As natural gas prices fall, off-peak market heat rates rise as gas plants displace coal
plants. As Calpine indicated on its conference call, some of its competitors' coal
plants are now cycling daily while the company's combined cycles are now running
baseload in several regions. In on-peak hours, a higher market heat rate is required to
cover generators fixed charges incurred for starting and running plants.
We believe that most IPPs do not account for this inverse relationship, instead
providing sensitivities as if heat rates were fixed. As such, following the current fall
in natural gas prices, we would expect IPPs to decrease their sensitivities to further
equal moves in natural gas prices. We believe this was to some extent behind the
a

decline in the sensitivity for a $1/MMBtu change in natural gas prices as disclosed in
Calpine's 3Q1I and 4QII conference call slides. However, we also believe the
decline was more pronounced than it would be at other 1PPs given Calpine's natural
exposure to greater generation volumes as natural gas prices fall.

GenOn, NRG and TXU provide data on their 3Q I I conference call presentations
indicating the extent to which they are exposed to swings in natural gas prices. We
have estimated Edison Mission Energy's sensitivity given that the company does not
provide the data. As we have indicated, we believe the numbers below, especially for
Edison Mission, likely overstate true exposure. In our models, we have attempted to
adjust for heat rate effects. For example, our Edison Mission model does not show
the same EBITDA sensitivity as indicated below.

PJM capacity auction
As winter winds its wily way through our weary souls wailing its abnormally tepid
laments, we believe investors will look forward to that which awaits on the vernal
horizon. The PJM Reliability Pricing Model ("RPM") Base Residual Auction is set
to open on 7-May-12 and close on 11-May-12. The results are scheduled to be posted
on 18-May-12. The RPM capacity period runs from 1-Jun to 31-May of the
following year. The May-12 auction will be for the period running from I-Jim-15 to
31-May-16. In the past few years, prices have varied substantially from one period to
the next and within PJM's regions. As we illustrate for Edison Mission in the figure
below, a producer with multiple plants can face drastically different prices from one
year to the next and from one plant to the next, depending on the settlement price
within PJM's regions.

We believe investors will likely want to know key high yield IPP's exposure to
2015/2016 the auction. In the below table, using data from the 2014/15 auction, we
estimated the effect of a $25/MW-day change in the PJM RPM capacity clearing
price on Calpine, Dynegy, Edison Mission, GenOn, and NRG Energy (TXU does not
have PJM exposure). We sort the table for relative exposure.

Industry news
On 26-Jan-12, FirstEnergy announced that its generation subsidiaries would retire six
older coal-fired power plants with total capacity of 2,689 MW located in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Maryland by 1-Sep-12. The company attributed its decision to
close the plants to the EPA's Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), which
were recently finalized, and other environmental regulations.
On 3-Feb-I2, TVA said that it elected to accelerate the idling schedule of the four
units at its Johnsonville plant, with total capacity of 576 MW, "due to operational
issues on the remaining units at Johnsonville and to reduce costs."
On 7-Feb-12, the Midwest ISO said new clean air rules will force a shift from a
primarily coal-driven generation base to one with more gas-fired power plants and
renewables. MISO estimated $31 billion of retrofit and replacement costs that would
place significant upward pressure on prices of up to $5/MWh, excluding potential
pressure on gas prices. MISO said that in the medium-term, gas infrastructure in the
Midwest would require $2 billion investment to meet resource adequacy needs (as
much as 10 GW by 2016) in addition to harmonizing with the electricity markets.
On 8-Feb-I2, FirstEnergy announced that its Monongahela Power Company
subsidiary would be retiring three older coal-fired power plants with total capacity of
660 MW located in West Virginia by 1-Sep-12, citing high cost of compliance with
the EPA's mercury rule and other environmental regulations.
On 9-Feb-12, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved Southern Co.'s
plan for the first licenses to build two nuclear reactors in Georgia. This is the first
approval of a new U.S. nuclear project in more than 30 years. In 2010, the Energy
Department in 2010 awarded Southern and its partners conditional approval for an
$8.3 billion loan guarantee for the project.
On 12-Feb-12, Public Utility Commission of Texas Chairman Donna Nelson said
that the low cost of natural gas and power is removing the incentive to build baseload
generation units in ERCOT, creating uncertainty as to whether Texas will have
enough power to keep the lights on during peak periods of demand.

Recent company news
• The AES Corporation (AES)
On 3-Jan-12, AES announced that its subsidiary, AES Eastern Energy, had filed
for Chapter II bankruptcy protection. AES Eastern Energy operates over 1,000
MW of capacity at four facilities in New York. AES Corporation did not expect
the bankruptcy filing to impact its previously disclosed FYI I guidance metrics.
On 5-Jan-12, Moody's said the DPL acquisition had strengthened AES global
portfolio by improving the scale, diversity and cash flow quality of its existing
North American asset base and was a factor in Moody's upgrade of AES'
Corporate Family Rating to Ba3 from B1 on 28-Nov-11. Moody's commented
that AES' Ba3 corporate rating reflected its high leverage, the structural
subordination of its recourse debt to the significant amount of non-recourse debt
in its consolidated capital structure, and the risks associated with the regulatory
and legal regimes in the company's countries of operation. These factors were
partially offset by AES' large number of subsidiaries, the subsidiaries' wide
geographic distribution, the significant proportion of the subsidiaries' cash flows
that were subject to stable regulation or long-term contracts, and the company's
good liquidity prospects for the next twelve months. The stable rating outlook
reflected Moody's expectations for predictable parent operating cash flows over
the next several years as the company integratcs the DPL acquisition and
completes certain construction projects, and that shareholder rewards programs
would be neutral to the parent's credit quality. Moody's saw limited prospects for
a rating upgrade, but said an upgrade was possible if AES' ratio of parent
operating cash flows to parent level recourse debt exceeded 14% and cash
coverage of parent interest expense was above 3.0x on a sustained basis. The
rating could be downgraded if AES' parent level operating cash flow to parent
level recourse debt fell below 10% for an extended period of time and a more
aggressive financial policy focused on further increasing shareholder rewards was
undertaken.
On 3-Feb-12, The Valor Economico newspaper reported that Dobreve Energia
SA, a Brazilian renewable energy developer, may sell wind projects with 205
MW of total capacity to utilities AES Corp, Energisa SA or EDF SA, citing
unidentified financial market participants with knowledge of the negotiations.
The newspaper said AES was at the most advanced stage of negotiations. The
article also mentioned that the wind farms may receive investments totaling
billion reais (around US$581 million).
On 6-Feb-12, a Bloomberg article, citing radio Horizont in Sofia, said that
Bulgaria's Maritsa East coal mines suspended production as the overflowing
Maritsa river had flooded access to the mines. According to the radio/article, the
three power plants that are serviced by the mines — AES Galabovo AD (run by
AES Corp), Maritsa East-2 and ContourGlobal Maritsa East-3 — had reduced their
output.
• Calpine Corporation (CPN)
On 27-Jan-12, Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported that Calpine's workers at The
Geysers voted against union representation.

On 3-Feb-12, Calpine filed comments with the EPA, objecting to a proposed
settlement agreement between the EPA and a group of Demand Response
providers that, according to Calpine, would allow emergency backup diesel
generators to quadruple their allowed operating hours without having to install
appropriate air emissions controls. Calpine asserted that in addition to the direct
adverse impact on air quality, allowing these dirtier units to participate in the
market as capacity resources would displace investment in far cleaner and more
reliable generation.
On the same day, the Sacramento Business Journal reported that Calpine had said
it would have to shut down its Yuba City, CA gas-fired power plant if it does not
secure financial help because it could not get a contract to sell power to a utility
this year. CISO said it could not let the plant retire because it's need for capacity
reasons.
On 10-Feb-I2, Calpine reported 4Q11 adjusted EBITDA of $379 million, slightly
above consensus' forecast of $373 million. Production increased 22% from the
prior year to about 25 GWh. Total GWh generation declined 6% yly in the West
region. Generation was up 48% yly in Texas, 5% yly in the Southeastern region,
and 81% yly in the North region. We calculate free cash flow bum was $52
million after a $119 million stock repurchase during the quarter. Liquidity
decreased $93 million sequentially to $2.0 billion. We estimate gross and net
leverage ratios remained steady at 6.0x and 5.3; respectively. The company
tightened its FYI2 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $1.6 billion to $1.725 billion
from the previous $1.55 billion to $1.75 billion and adjusted free cash flow to
$425- $550 million from the previous $375-$575 million. The new EBITDA
guidance was in-line with consensus' forecast of $1.66 billion.
• Dynegy Holdings LLC (DYN)
On I 1-Jan-12, The U.S. Trustee appointed Susheel Kirpalani, a lawyer at Quinn
Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP as an examiner to investigate the
reorganization of Dynegy Inc. The appointment of the examiner followed a
hearing last month in which U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Cecelia Morris in
Poughkeepsie, New York, agreed that a probe into transactions leading up to the
bankruptcy filing, and into whether creditors were harmed, was required.
On 18-Jan-12, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Cecelia Morris granted a motion by the
court-appointed examiner in the Dynegy Holdings LLC bankruptcy to issue wide-
ranging and expedited subpoenas. The examiner, Susheel Kirpalani, chairman of
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sulllivan LLP's bankruptcy and restructuring group
in New York, has until March 12 to complete his report.
On 13-Feb-I2, The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. trustee, Tracy Hope
Davis, was objecting to Dynegy's disclosure statement, which must provide
lenders and creditors the information they need to make an informed vote
accepting or rejecting the Chapter II plan, saying "the examiner has not yet
completed his investigation and issued his report, without which, the debtor
cannot provide adequate disclosure." The trustee said there was not enough
information about the reasons for retaining equity holders' interests when
creditors were not receiving full payment, the impact on creditors of pending
litigation with U.S. Bank and the reason for releasing the liabilities of Dynegy
affiliates not in bankruptcy.

• Edison Mission Energy (EIX)
On 23-Jan-12, Edison Mission announced commissioning of the Pinnacle Wind
Farm located on Green Mountain, near the Maryland-West Virginia border. The
23-turbine wind farm has a maximum generating capacity of 55 MW. The
company said that the project would sell two-thirds of its output to the Maryland
Department of General Services and one-third to the University of Maryland
system.
On 6-Jan-12, Edison Mission's subsidiary, Midwest Generation entered into a
multi-year agreement for the transport of coal with the Union Pacific Railroad for
a specified minimum amount of tons, effective 1-Jan-12. The company did not
provide additional information on the agreement's details, which were expected
to be provided in EME's 2011 10-K. In 2011, Midwest contracted to ship slightly
over 17 million tons of coal around 1,200 miles from PRB mines. Our equity
Surface Transportation analyst, Tom Wadewitz, estimates that costs could have
increased around 50%, from $ I3.77/ton to $20.40/ton implying around a $115
million increases in the company's expenses. This was in-line with the estimates
in our published EME model.
On 14-Feb-I2, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that a coalition of five
environmental groups filed notice on 13-Feb-12 that it would sue Edison
International, citing unhealthy concentrations of sulfur dioxide emissions from
the Homer City plant. The groups also released a Sierra Club report that
questioned whether the $700 million in pollution controls that the company
announced for the plant would reduce emissions enough to meet federal health-
based limits. It called on Edison to instead invest in renewable wind and solar
energy production facilities in central Pennsylvania. The 60-day notice of intent
to sue was required by the U.S. Clean Air Act prior to the filing of a lawsuit in
federal court and was delivered to the power plant owners Monday.
• GenOn Energy, Inc. (GEN)
On 11-Jan-12, GenOn announced that its board of directors had appointed former
Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham and former Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission chair and Deputy Secretary of Energy Betsy Moler to serve as
directors.
On 6-Feb-12, the New Jersey Environmental Protection Department filed a
motion in federal court to intervene in GenOn's challenge to the federal Clean
Air Act permit regarding the company's Portland, PA plant.
• NRG Energy (NRG)
On 18-Jan-I2, NRG said that MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company had
completed an acquisition of a 49% interest in NRG's 290 MW Agua Caliente
solar project.
On 2-Feb-12, NRG through its subsidiary, Louisiana Generating, entered into
definitive agreements for an 11-year contract extension through 2025 to provide
power to the Washington-St. Tammany Electric and Claiborne Electric
cooperatives. Both cooperatives filed applications with the Louisiana Public
Service Commission on I-Feb-12 seeking approval of the agreements. Together,
the two contracts are for more than 450 MW of electrical load at peak demand.

Explanation of Credit Research Ratings:
Ratings System: Morgan uses the following sector/issuer portfolio weightings: Overweight (over the next three months, the
recommended risk position is expected to outperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), Neutral (over the next three months, the
recommended risk position is expected to perform in line with the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), and Underwei ht (over the next
three months, the recommended risk position is expected to underperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark). M. Morgan's
Emerging Market research uses a rating of Markenveight, which is equivalent to a Neutral rating.
Valuation & Methodology: In M. Morgan's credit research, we assign a rating to each issuer (Overweight, Underweight or Neutral)
based on our credit view of the issuer and the relative value of its securities, taking into account the ratings assigned to the issuer by credit
rating agencies and the market prices for the issuer's securities. Our credit view of an issuer is based upon our opinion as to whether the
issuer will be able service its debt obligations when they become due and payable. We assess this by analyzing, among other things, the
issuer's credit position using standard credit ratios such as cash flow to debt and fixed charge coverage (including and excluding capital
investment). We also analyze the issuer's ability to generate cash flow by reviewing standard operational measures for comparable
companies in the sector, such as revenue and earnings growth rates, margins, and the composition of the issuer's balance sheet relative to
the operational leverage in its business.
