Conectiv Less Delta based on $1,650 million purchase, less $420 million estimated construction cost of Delta incurred as of close date.  CPN based on $11.89 share price as of 4/16/10 x 486 million shares +
  
$8.6 billion of projected net debt at YE2011.
 
 
CPN estimates for Colorado and Conectiv full value based upon CPN projection of Commodity Margin, less expenses, as adjusted. Colorado Post Contracts reflects CPN estimates of recontracted value 
    after current PPAs expire.  Conectiv Less Delta reflects estimated removal of fully-contracted Delta plant.  CPN represents 2011 guidance. See reconciliation of CPN Adj. EBITDA on slide 27. 
 
 
Value / KW calculation for Conectiv based upon unadjusted Enterprise Value of $1,650 million, plus $62 million of remaining costs construction costs for Delta and scheduled upgrades.

Key Integration Considerations
Commercial Operations
-
PHI to retain trading book and load serving auction positions
-
Calpine takes business without legacy positions or collateral
-
Fleet dispatch and hedging decisions managed from Houston
Fuel Conversion:  CALPINE DOES NOT INTEND TO BURN COAL
-
From Day 1, have positive environmental impact on local community
and send clear signal on future of power generation
-
Fuel oil as back-up for much of the capacity
Operations Management
-
New regional office with local operations, regulatory, origination and
legal functions
-
All other support (Accounting / back office, Maintenance) provided
from Houston
Calpine management and integration teams on-site
Calpine

Energy Margin + Regulatory & Other Margin = Total Commodity Margin. 
2
Estimated as of 4/9/10. Hedged margin excludes unconsolidated projects.  Changing market heat rates will change delta volumes and
gas price exposures. Sensitivities are assumed to occur across the portfolio.
3
Volumes are on a delta hedge basis. Delta volumes are the expected volume based on the probability of economic dispatch at a future
date based on current market prices for that future date. This is typically lower than the notional volume, which is plant capacity, less
known performance and operating constraints.
4
Pertains to Hedged Gas Length (shown above) only.
5
Represents Calpine’s forecasted net ownership interest with peaking capacity.  New capacity shown during first full year of operation.

Reg G Reconciliations: 2010 and 2011 Guidance
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for certain
non-cash or non-recurring items as detailed in the following
reconciliation.  Adjusted EBITDA is presented because our
management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a measure of
operating performance to assist in comparing performance
from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily
view operating trends; (ii) as a measure for planning and
forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual
results against such expectations; and (iii) in communications
with our Board of Directors, shareholders, creditors, analysts
and investors concerning our financial performance.  We
believe Adjusted EBITDA is also used by and is useful to
investors and other users of our financial statements in
evaluating our operating performance because it provides
them with an additional tool to compare business
performance across companies and across periods. Adjusted
EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP,
and should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute
for our results of operations presented in accordance with
GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash
flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by
GAAP as an indicator of operating performance. Furthermore,
Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly-
titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents net income before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted,
less operating lease payments, major maintenance expense
and maintenance capital expenditures, net cash interest, cash
taxes, working capital and other adjustments.  Adjusted Free
Cash Flow is presented because our management uses this
measure, among others, to make decisions about capital
allocation.  Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not intended to
represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP as
an indicator of operating performance and is not necessarily
comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other
companies.
