(2) Included a request for project incentives of $16 million. (3) Rates effective 5/1/07, subject to refund. (4) Excludes pension asset; 6.51% debt return allowed in operating expenses. (5) Equity cap of 58% for 2 years, declining to 55% by 2011. (6) ROE is fixed and not subject to annual updating. RTO = Regional Transmission Organization (Docket Nos. ER07-583-000 & EL07-41-000) |
11 11 Formula Transmission Rate Annual Update Process (1) • Annual filing by May 15th will update the current year revenue requirement and true-up prior year to actual: – Update current year – Estimate current year revenue requirement using updated costs based on prior year actual data per FERC Form 1 plus projected plant additions for the current calendar year – True-up prior year – Perform a true-up of the prior year’s rates by comparing prior year actual data per FERC Form 1 to the estimate used for that year; over/under-recoveries for the prior year are collected in the current year • Rates take effect on June 1st • Interested parties have 180 days to submit information requests and raise concerns; unresolved concerns go before FERC for resolution The combination of annual updating and true-up virtually eliminates regulatory lag (1) Subject to final FERC approval. |
12 Revenue increase needed to recover significant distribution system investment and represents an important step in ComEd’s regulatory recovery plan (1) Based on 2006 test year, including pro forma capital additions through 3Q 2008; represents a $1,550 million increase from 2006 ICC order.

23 Hedging Targets Flexibility in our targeted financial hedge ranges allows us to be opportunistic while mitigating downside risk (1) Percent financially hedged is our estimate of the gross margin that is not at risk due to a market price drop and assuming normal generation operating conditions. The formula is: gross margin at the 5th percentile / expected gross margin. Power Team employs commodity hedging strategies to optimize Exelon Generation’s earnings: • Maintain length for opportunistic sales • Use cross commodity option strategies to enhance hedge activities • Time hedging around view of market fundamentals • Supplement portfolio with load following products • Use physical and financial fuel products to manage variability in fossil generation output Target Ranges 50% - 70% 70% - 90% 90% - 98% Above the range* Current Position Upper end of range Midpoint of range Prompt Year (2008) Second Year (2009) Third Year (2010) Financial Hedging Range (1) * Due to ComEd financial swap |
