10 Exelon Generation Hedging Disclosures (as of June 30, 2011) |
11 Important Information The following slides are intended to provide additional information regarding the hedging program at Exelon Generation and to serve as an aid for the purposes of modeling Exelon Generation’s gross margin (operating revenues less purchased power and fuel expense). The information on the following slides is not intended to represent earnings guidance or a forecast of future events. In fact, many of the factors that ultimately will determine Exelon Generation’s actual gross margin are based upon highly variable market factors outside of our control. The information on the following slides is as of June 30, 2011. We update this information on a quarterly basis. Certain information on the following slides is based upon an internal simulation model that incorporates assumptions regarding future market conditions, including power and commodity prices, heat rates, and demand conditions, in addition to operating performance and dispatch characteristics of our generating fleet. Our simulation model and the assumptions therein are subject to change. For example, actual market conditions and the dispatch profile of our generation fleet in future periods will likely differ – and may differ significantly – from the assumptions underlying the simulation results included in the slides. In addition, the forward-looking information included in the following slides will likely change over time due to continued refinement of our simulation model and changes in our views on future market conditions. |
12 Portfolio Management Objective Align Hedging Activities with Financial Commitments Power Team utilizes several product types and channels to market • Wholesale and retail sales • Block products • Load-following products and load auctions • Put/call options Exelon’s hedging program is designed to protect the long-term value of our generating fleet and maintain an investment-grade balance sheet • Hedge enough commodity risk to meet future cash requirements if prices drop • Consider: financing policy (credit rating objectives, capital structure, liquidity); spending (capital and O&M); shareholder value return policy Consider market, credit, operational risk Approach to managing volatility • Increase hedging as delivery approaches • Have enough supply to meet peak load • Purchase fossil fuels as power is sold • Choose hedging products based on generation portfolio – sell what we own • Heat rate options • Fuel products • Capacity • Renewable credits % Hedged High End of Profit Low End of Profit Open Generation with LT Contracts Portfolio Optimization Portfolio Management Portfolio Management Over Time |
13 Percentage of Expected Generation Hedged • How many equivalent MW have been hedged at forward market prices; all hedge products used are converted to an equivalent average MW volume • Takes ALL hedges into account whether they are power sales or financial products Equivalent MWs Sold Expected Generation = Our normal practice is to hedge commodity risk on a ratable basis over the three years leading to the spot market • Carry operational length into spot market to manage forced outage and load-following risks • By using the appropriate product mix, expected generation hedged approaches the mid-90s percentile as the delivery period approaches • Participation in larger procurement events, such as utility auctions, and some flexibility in the timing of hedging may mean the hedge program is not strictly ratable from quarter to quarter Exelon Generation Hedging Program |
14 2011 2012 2013 Estimated Open Gross Margin ($ millions) (1)(2) $5,450 $5,000 $5,600 Open gross margin assumes all expected generation is sold at the Reference Prices listed below Reference Prices (1) Henry Hub Natural Gas ($/MMBtu) NI-Hub ATC Energy Price ($/MWh) PJM-W ATC Energy Price ($/MWh) ERCOT North ATC Spark Spread ($/MWh) (3) $4.37 $33.18 $46.07 $3.77 $4.84 $33.10 $46.02 $1.40 $5.16 $34.45 $47.45 $2.27 Exelon Generation Open Gross Margin and Reference Prices (1) Based on June 30, 2011 market conditions. (2) Gross margin is defined as operating revenues less fuel expense and purchased power expense, excluding the impact of decommissioning and other incidental revenues. Open gross margin is estimated based upon an internal model that is developed by dispatching our expected generation to current market power and fossil fuel prices. Open gross margin assumes there is no hedging in place other than fixed assumptions for capacity cleared in the RPM auctions and uranium costs for nuclear power plants. Open gross margin contains assumptions for other gross margin line items such as various ISO bill and ancillary revenues and costs and PPA capacity revenues and payments. The estimation of open gross margin incorporates management discretion and modeling assumptions that are subject to change.

15 2011 2012 2013 Expected Generation (GWh) (1) 166,100 165,600 163,000 Midwest 99,000 97,900 95,800 Mid-Atlantic 56,300 57,100 56,500 South & West 10,800 10,600 10,700 Percentage of Expected Generation Hedged (2) 95-98% 82-85% 49-52% Midwest 95-98 81-84 48-51 Mid-Atlantic 96-99 85-88 50-53 South & West 86-89 63-66 45-48 Effective Realized Energy Price ($/MWh) (3) Midwest $43.00 $41.00 $40.00 Mid-Atlantic $57.00 $50.00 $50.50 South & West $4.50 $0.00 ($2.00) Generation Profile (1) Expected generation represents the amount of energy estimated to be generated or purchased through owned or contracted for capacity. Expected generation is based upon a simulated dispatch model that makes assumptions regarding future market conditions, which are calibrated to market quotes for power, fuel, load following products, and options. Expected generation assumes 12 refueling outages in 2011 and 10 refueling outages in 2012 and 2013 at Exelon-operated nuclear plants and Salem. Expected generation assumes capacity factors of 93.0%, 93.4% and 93.2% in 2011, 2012 and 2013 at Exelon-operated nuclear plants. These estimates of expected generation in 2012 and 2013 do not represent guidance or a forecast of future results as Exelon has not completed its planning or optimization processes for those years. (2) Percent of expected generation hedged is the amount of equivalent sales divided by the expected generation. Includes all hedging products, such as wholesale and retail sales of power, options, and swaps. Uses expected value on options. Reflects decision to permanently retire Cromby Station and Eddystone Units 1&2 as of May 31, 2011. (3) Effective realized energy price is representative of an all-in hedged price, on a per MWh basis, at which expected generation has been hedged. It is developed by considering the energy revenues and costs associated with our hedges and by considering the fossil fuel that has been purchased to lock in margin. It excludes uranium costs and RPM capacity revenue, but includes the mark-to-market value of capacity contracted at prices other than RPM clearing prices including our load obligations. It can be compared with the reference prices used to calculate open gross margin in order to determine the mark-to-market value of Exelon Generation's energy hedges. |
16 Gross Margin Sensitivities with Existing Hedges ($ millions) (1) Henry Hub Natural Gas + $1/MMBtu - $1/MMBtu NI-Hub ATC Energy Price +$5/MWH -$5/MWH PJM-W ATC Energy Price +$5/MWH -$5/MWH Nuclear Capacity Factor +1% / -1% 2011 $5 $(5) $5 $(5) $5 $(5) +/- $25 2012 $85 $(35) $95 $(75) $55 $(55) +/- $45 2013 $340 $(290) $250 $(245) $155 $(150) +/- $50 Exelon Generation Gross Margin Sensitivities (with Existing Hedges) (1) Based on June 30, 2011 market conditions and hedged position. Gas price sensitivities are based on an assumed gas-power relationship derived from an internal model that is updated periodically. Power prices sensitivities are derived by adjusting the power price assumption while keeping all other prices inputs constant. Due to correlation of the various assumptions, the hedged gross margin impact calculated by aggregating individual sensitivities may not be equal to the hedged gross margin impact calculated when correlations between the various assumptions are also considered. |
17 95% case 5% case $5,500 $7,100 $6,900 $6,000 Exelon Generation Gross Margin Upside / Risk (with Existing Hedges) $3,000 $4,000 $5,000 $6,000 $7,000 $8,000 $9,000 2011 2012 2013 $6,800 $5,200 (1) Represents an approximate range of expected gross margin, taking into account hedges in place, between the 5th and 95th percent confidence levels assuming all unhedged supply is sold into the spot market. Approximate gross margin ranges are based upon an internal simulation model and are subject to change based upon market inputs, future transactions and potential modeling changes. These ranges of approximate gross margin in 2012 and 2013 do not represent earnings guidance or a forecast of future results as Exelon has not completed its planning or optimization processes for those years. The price distributions that generate this range are calibrated to market quotes for power, fuel, load following products, and options as of June 30, 2011. |
