We Believe Long Term Industry
Fundamentals Remain Strong
§ Power markets should tighten
§ Natural gas prices should rise,
 increasing power prices
§ Newer, more efficient units could push
 older generation into retirement
§ Development trends point to emphasis
 on renewables - however, cost is high
 and grid infrastructure remains an issue
§ Industry consolidation could provide
 synergies leading to shareholder value
§ Power prices remain weak
§ Natural gas prices remain volatile
§ New power generation will come online
 at a slower rate due to barriers to entry
 such as:
  Depressed capital markets
  Uncertainty around Cap & Trade and other
 environmental regulation & legislation
  Low power prices, making it difficult to
 justify returns
Near Term Expectations
Long Term Expectations
Power generation remains cyclical - the recent downward trend is
expected to reverse over time as supply/demand tightens
Near term, Dynegy will continue to focus on operating and commercializing well
and on maintaining ample liquidity
Longer term, Dynegy’s ability to harvest value will center around capitalizing on
expected stronger power prices and demand
 
 

 
 2009 U.S. electric demand was down ~4%, but
 remained within the 5 year average range
 2010 may continue to be a challenging business
 environment with commodity prices
 remaining volatile as markets begin to recover
 Weather spikes, as seen in January 2010,
 represent opportunities to capture
 incremental value
 U.S. electricity demand is projected to increase
 over the next two years
 Despite ongoing volatility, commodity prices
 are beginning to trend upward
Dynegy Expects Commodity Prices
to Rise Long Term

Near to intermediate term view:
 Dynegy is focused on increased
 predictability of earnings and cash
 flow while also protecting against
 downside risk
Long term view:
 Staying relatively uncontracted in
 outer years should provide
 opportunities to capture value in a
 fundamentally rising price
 environment as supply/demand
 tightens

Dynegy’s Commercial Strategy
Reflects Long Term Industry Fundamentals
 Maintaining long term market upside potential

 several factors
 The horizontal X-axis represents possible
 changes in natural gas prices
  As percentage of expected generation
 contracted goes up, sensitivity decreases
 The vertical Y-axis represents the possible
 impacts of various other factors:
  Volatility of commodity prices
  Basis differentials
  Capacity prices
  Unplanned outages
 Often events and variables are
 interrelated and individual sensitivities

Understanding DYN’s 2011 Hedge Profile
34
Approximating Hedge Value
 As the contracted percentage of
 expected generation is provided at
 various periods, an average price can
 be applied to the incremental
 percentage contracted
 For example:
  Between May and August in the
 Midwest, Dynegy contracted an
 additional ~10% of expected generation
  The average CIN Around-the-Clock (ATC)
 price for that time period was
 ~$39/MWh
  If Dynegy’s annual expected generation
 in the Midwest is ~25MM MWh, you can
 estimate ~2.5MM MWh was contracted
 at $39/MWh
 In addition to contracting expected
 generation, Dynegy uses options to
 mitigate some of the risk of potentially
 low commodity prices

Collar Option Example
35
Call Option:
Dynegy sells a 100 MW on-peak call option for the 2011
calendar year at a $65 strike price at a premium of $0.85/MWh
Dynegy receives and realizes a premium payment in current period
from buyer for the call option
(See Calculation 1)
Option gives buyer right to buy 100 MW on-peak from Dynegy for
2011 calendar year at $65 if buyer strikes the option on the option
expiration date
Buyer will strike option if 2011 calendar prices exceed $65 in order to
sell the 100 MW at a higher price
Commitment sets a potential price on the sale of the 100 MW for
Dynegy at $65 which is realized during option period if buyer strikes
option
If prices are below $65 on the option expiration date, option expires
Put Option:
Dynegy buys a 100 MW on-peak put option for the 2011
calendar year at a $35 strike price at a premium of $0.45/MWh
Dynegy pays and realizes a premium expense in current period to
seller for the put option
(See Calculation 2)
Option gives Dynegy right to sell 100 MW to seller for 2011 calendar
year at $35 if Dynegy strikes the option on the option expiration date
Dynegy will strike option if 2011 calendar prices go below $35 in
order to sell the 100 MW at a higher price
Commitment sets a potential price on the sale of the 100 MW for
Dynegy at $35 which is realized during option period if Dynegy strikes
option
If prices are above $35 on the option expiration date, option expires
Combining Put & Call Options creates a
“Collar” Option
Collars provide earnings certainty and reduce exposure to power
price volatility
 - If market price clears at $70, buyer will strike call option. Maximum
 revenue on 100 MW will be $27MM versus $29MM had power been
 sold at market price
(See Calculations 3 & 4)
 - If market price clears at $30, Dynegy will strike put option. Maximum
 gross margin on 100 MW will be $14MM versus $12MM had power
 been sold at market price
(See Calculations 5 & 6)
Option impact on Revenue:
 - Premium revenue and expenses are realized in period options were
 sold/purchased
 - Exercised option value realized during the option period
Calculations
Premium Calculations:
1) 4,080 on-peak hours/year x $0.85/MWh x 100 MW = $346,800
2) 4,080 on-peak hours/year x $0.45/MWh x 100 MW = $183,600
Sales Calculations:
3) 4,080 on-peak hours/year x $65/MWh x 100 MW = ~$27 MM
4) 4,080 on-peak hours/year x $70/MWh x 100 MW = ~$29 MM
5) 4,080 on-peak hours/year x $35/MWh x 100 MW = ~$14 MM
6) 4,080 on-peak hours/year x $30/MWh x 100 MW = ~$12 MM

Accrual Lease Expense
Central Hudson treated as Debt
 
(would require the following adjustments to GAAP financials):
Income Statement - Add back $50 million lease expense to Adjusted EBITDA; add $16 million
 imputed interest expense to Interest Expense; add $23 million estimated depreciation &
 amortization expense; adjust tax expense for net difference
  Depreciation & Amortization calculated using purchase price of $920 million divided by 40 years
Cash Flow Statement - Add back $100 million of imputed principal to Operating Cash Flows
  $116 million cash payment split between $16 million imputed interest payment (Operating Cash
 Flows) and $100 million imputed principal payment (Financing Cash Flows)
Balance Sheet - Include $725 million total PV (10%) of future lease payments
Central Hudson treated as Lease
 
(as currently shown in GAAP financials):
 Income Statement - $50 million lease expense included in

Appendix - Reg G Reconciliations
 
 

 
Debt Measures: We believe that our debt measures are useful because we consider these
measures as a way to re-evaluate our progress toward our strategic corporate objective of
reducing our overall indebtedness. In addition, many analysts and investors use these measures
for valuation analysis purposes. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to the
below measures is GAAP debt.
  “Net Debt” - We define “Net Debt” as total GAAP debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.
 Restricted cash in this case consists only of collateral posted for the credit facility at the end of each
 period, and cash associated with the Sandy Creek letter of credit, the Sithe debt reserve and Plum Point
 debt, at the end of each period where applicable.
  “Net Debt and Other Obligations” - We define “Net Debt and Other Obligations” as total GAAP debt plus
 certain operating lease commitments less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash in
 this case consists only of collateral posted for the credit facility at the end of each period, and cash
 associated with the Sandy Creek letter of credit and Plum Point debt, at the end of each period where
 applicable.
  “Net Debt and Other Obligations Associated with Operating Assets” - We believe that this measure is
 useful for of the purpose of evaluating our operating assets. We define “Net Debt and Other Obligations
 Associated with Operating Assets” as “Net Debt and Other Obligations” less GAAP debt associated with
 assets under construction.
