earnings and other financial items, our plans and objectives for the future,
future economic performance, or when we make statements containing any other
projections or estimates about our assumptions relating to these types of
statements, we are making "forward-looking statements." These statements usually
relate to future events and anticipated revenues , earnings, business
strategies, competitive position or other aspects of our operations or operating
results. In many cases you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue," "could,"
"intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "should," "will," "expect,"
"objective," "projection," "forecast," "goal," "guidance," "outlook" and other
similar words . However, the absence of these words does not mean that the
statements are not forward-looking. Although we believe that the expectations
and the underlying assumptions reflected in our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be
correct. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or
events. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual
results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking

investigations;
o the effects of competition, including the extent and timing of the
entry of additional competitors in our markets;

o the degree to which we successfully integrate the operations and
assets of Orion Power Holdings, Inc. into our wholesale energy

o the availability of adequate supplies of fuel, water, and
associated transportation necessary to operate our generation
portfolio;
o weather variations and other natural phenomena, which can affect
the demand for power from or our ability to produce power at our
generating facilities;
o financial market conditions and our access to capital, including
availability of funds in the capital markets;
o the creditworthiness or bankruptcy or other financial distress of
our counterparties;
o actions by rating agencies with respect to us or our competitors;
o acts of terrorism or war;
o the availability and price of insurance;
o the reliability of the systems, procedures and other
infrastructure necessary to operate our retail electric business,
including the systems owned and operated by the independent system
operator in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas;
o political, legal, regulatory and economic conditions and
developments in the United States and in foreign countries in
which we operate, including the effects of fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates;
o the successful operation of deregulating power markets; and

participants to pay our receivables balances.
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular

forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.
