How Genesis Solar Will WorkSolar collectors capture and concentrate sunlight to heat a synthetic oil, which then heats water to create steam. The steam is piped to an onsite turbine-generator to produce electricity, which is then transmitted over power lines.

The solar thermal technology will provide 100 percent of the power generated by the plant. No supplemental fuel for electricity production is proposed.

The project will use two auxiliary, natural gas –fired boilers to reduce startup time and to provide freeze protection for the synthetic oil.

Genesis Solar Energy Project

Overview - Proposed Site» Located in Riverside County, 20 miles west

of Blythe, Calif.» To be built, owned and operated by a

subsidiary of NextEraTM Energy Resources» Sited on Bureau of Land Management

(BLM) land north of Interstate-10» A combined 250-megawatt solar energy

plant – to be one of the largest in the nation – and capable of generating enough electricity to power nearly 88,000 homes annually

» Will avoid approximately 330,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually that would have been produced if the electricity had been generated using fossil fuels

» Proven concentrating solar power similar to existing solar energy facilities at Kramer Junction and Harper Lake in California – with a combined generating capability of 310 megawatts and operated by NextEra Energy Resources

» Proposed interconnection point – the to- be-built Colorado River Substation, via the Blythe Transmission Line

» Estimated completion of construction: 30 months after receipt of a BLM Right of Way and a California Energy Commission license

Benefits» Safe, clean and reliable power for California » Local employment opportunities - peak construction, close to 1,100

workers; two-year average, about 475 construction personnel

- once operational, 40-50 full-time employees

» Economic stimulus - facility payroll - increased purchases of local goods

and services during construction and long-term operation

» Increased sales tax revenue » Additional demand for local available housing

Environmental PermittingPreparations are underway to submit applications for all required permits for this project. California Energy Commission, Bureau of Land Management, California Department of Fish & Game and other state and federal agencies are participating in the project permitting process. All permits and reviews are expected to be complete in 2010.

» Approximately 17,000 megawatts of generating capacity in 25 states and Canada» The largest generator in North America of renewable energy from the wind and sun » Nearly 100 projects in operation, including 310 megawatts of solar energy (Kramer

Junction and Harper Lake) and nearly 1,400 megawatts of generation capacity throughout California

» A subsidiary of FPL Group, Inc., with headquarters in Juno Beach, Florida » For more information, visit www.NextEraEnergyResources.com
