PART 1
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company
FirstEnergy Corp. (Company) was organized under the laws of the
State of Ohio in 1996 and became a holding company on November 8, 1997 in
connection with the merger of Ohio Edison Company (OE) and Centerior
Energy Corporation (Centerior). The Company's principal business is the
holding, directly or indirectly, of all of the outstanding common stock of
its principal electric utility operating subsidiaries, OE, The Cleveland
Electric Illuminating Company (CEI), Pennsylvania Power Company (Penn) and
The Toledo Edison Company (TE). These utility subsidiaries are referred to
throughout as "Companies." On September 1, 2000, the Companies transferred
their transmission assets to the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,
American Transmission Systems, Inc. (ATSI). ATSI owns and operates the
Company's major high-voltage transmission facilities and has
interconnections with other regional utilities. The Company's consolidated
revenues are primarily derived from electric service provided by its
utility operating subsidiaries including ATSI and the revenues of its
other principal subsidiaries: FirstEnergy Services Corp. (FE Services);
FirstEnergy Facilities Services Group, LLC (FE Facilities); FirstEnergy
Trading Services, Inc. (FETS), which merged into FE Services on January 1,
2001; and MARBEL Energy Corporation (MARBEL). In addition, the Company
holds all of the outstanding common stock of four other direct
subsidiaries: FirstEnergy Properties, Inc., FirstEnergy Ventures, Corp.,
FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) and FirstEnergy Securities
Transfer Company.
The Companies' combined service areas encompass approximately
13,200 square miles in central and northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
The areas they serve have combined populations of approximately
5.8 million.
OE was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio in 1930 and
owns property and does business as an electric public utility in that
state. OE also has ownership interests in certain generating facilities
located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. OE engages in the generation,
distribution and sale of electric energy to communities in a 7,500 square
mile area of central and northeastern Ohio. OE also engages in the sale,
purchase and interchange of electric energy with other electric companies.
The area it serves has a population of approximately 2.7 million.
OE owns all of the outstanding common stock of Penn, a
Pennsylvania corporation, which furnishes electric service to communities
in a 1,500 square mile area of western Pennsylvania. The area served by
Penn has a population of approximately 0.4 million.
CEI was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio in 1892
and does business as an electric public utility in that state. It also has
ownership interests in certain generating facilities in Pennsylvania. CEI
engages in the generation, distribution and sale of electric energy in an
area of approximately 1,700 square miles in northeastern Ohio. CEI also
engages in the sale, purchase and interchange of electric energy with
other electric companies. The area CEI serves has a population of
approximately 1.9 million.
TE was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio in 1901 and
does business as an electric public utility in that state. It also has
ownership interests in certain generating facilities in Pennsylvania. TE
engages in the generation, distribution and sale of electric energy in an
area of approximately 2,500 square miles in northwestern Ohio. TE also
engages in the sale, purchase and interchange of electric energy with
other electric companies. The area TE serves has a population of
approximately 0.8 million.
FE Services was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio in
1997 and provides energy-related products and services. FE Services has
two subsidiaries, Penn Power Energy, Inc. (a Pennsylvania corporation),
which provides electric generation services and other energy services to
Pennsylvania customers and FirstEnergy Generation Corp., which operates
the nonnuclear generation businesses of the Companies. FE Facilities is
the parent company of eleven direct subsidiaries, which are heating,
ventilating, air conditioning and energy management companies. FETS, which
had been organized as a corporation in Delaware in 1995, had primarily
acquired and arranged for the delivery of electricity and natural gas to
FE Services' retail customers. MARBEL is a natural gas pipeline company
whose subsidiaries include MARBEL HoldCo, Inc. a holding company which has
a 50% ownership in Great Lakes Energy Partners, LLC, an oil and natural
gas exploration and production venture, and other subsidiaries owning
interests in natural gas distribution and transmission facilities, and
Northeast Ohio Operating Companies, Inc., a holding company, which
provides gas distribution and transportation services.
Merger Agreement
On August 8, 2000, the Company and GPU, Inc. (GPU), a
Pennsylvania corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger.
Under the merger agreement, the Company would acquire all of the
outstanding shares of GPU's common stock for approximately $4.5 billion in
cash and FirstEnergy common stock. Approximately $7.4 billion of debt and
preferred stock of GPU's subsidiaries would still be outstanding. The
transaction would be accounted for by the purchase method. The combined
company's principal electric utility operating companies would include OE,
CEI, TE, Penn and ATSI, as well as GPU's electric utility operating
companies - Jersey Central Power & Light Company, Metropolitan Edison
Company and Pennsylvania Electric Company, which serve customers in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Under the agreement, GPU shareholders would receive the
equivalent of $36.50 for each share of GPU common stock they own, payable
in cash or in FirstEnergy common stock, as long as FirstEnergy's common
stock price is between $24.2438 and $29.6313. GPU shareholders would be
able to elect the form of consideration they wish to receive, subject to
proration so that the aggregate consideration to all GPU shareholders will
be 50 percent cash and 50 percent FirstEnergy common stock. Each GPU share
converted into FirstEnergy common stock would receive not less than 1.2318
and not more than 1.5055 shares of FirstEnergy common stock, depending on
the average closing price of FirstEnergy stock during the 20-day trading
period ending on the seventh trading date prior to the merger closing. The
stock portion of the consideration is expected to be tax-free to GPU
shareholders.
The merger has been amendedapproved by the respective shareholders of
the Company and GPU, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), State of New York Department of
Public Service and the Federal Communications Commission, and is expected
to updateclose promptly after all of the Executive Officers
sectionconditions to the consummation of the
merger, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, are
fulfilled or waived. The Company and GPU are working to secure the receipt
of all remaining necessary regulatory approvals, including, but not
limited to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), by the end of
the second quarter of 2001.
Utility Regulation
The Companies are subject to broad regulation as to rates and
other matters by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) and the
Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PPUC). With respect to their
wholesale and interstate electric operations and rates, the Companies are
subject to regulation, including regulation of their accounting policies
and practices, by the FERC. Under Ohio law, municipalities may regulate
rates, subject to appeal to the PUCO if not acceptable to the utility.
PUCO Rate Matters
The PUCO approved OE's Rate Reduction and Economic Development
Plan in 1995 and a Rate Reduction and Economic Development Plan for CEI
and TE in January 1997. These plans were designed to enhance and
accelerate economic development within the Companies' Ohio service areas
and to assure the Companies' customers in those service areas of long-term
competitive pricing for energy services.
These plans were to maintain then current base electric rates
for OE, CEI and TE through December 31, 2005, unless additional revenues
were needed to recover the costs of changes in environmental, regulatory
or tax laws or regulations. At the end of the plan periods, OE base rates
were to be reduced by $300 million (approximately 20 percent below then
current levels) and CEI and TE base rates were to be reduced by a combined
$310 million (approximately 15 percent below then current levels). As part
of these plans, transition rate credits were implemented for customers,
which were expected to reduce operating revenues for OE by approximately
$600 million and CEI and TE by approximately $391 million during the plan
period. The plans also had revised fuel recovery rate formulas so that
OE's, CEI's and TE's fuel rates would be frozen through the regulatory
plan period, subject to limited periodic adjustments (see "Fuel Recovery
Procedures"). The plans were terminated at the end of 2000 concurrent with
the implementation of the FirstEnergy transition plan as described further
below.
In July 1999, Ohio's electric utility restructuring legislation,
which allowed Ohio electric customers to select their generation suppliers
beginning January 1, 2001, was signed into law. Among other things, the
legislation provides for a 5% reduction on pages 11-13the generation portion of
Itemresidential customers' bills and the opportunity to recover transition
costs, including regulatory assets, from January 1, 2001 through
December 31, 2005. The period for the recovery of regulatory assets only
can be extended up to includeDecember 31, 2010. The PUCO was authorized to
determine the level of transition cost recovery, as well as the recovery
period for the regulatory assets portion of those costs, in considering
each Ohio electric utility's transition plan application.
The Company, on behalf of its Ohio electric utility operating
companies -- OE, CEI and TE -- filed its transition plan under Ohio's new
electric utility restructuring law in late 1999. The filing also included
additional information on the Company's plans to turn over control, and
perhaps ownership, of its transmission assets to the Alliance Regional
Transmission Organization. The transition plan itemized, or unbundled, the
current price of electricity into its component elements -- including
generation, transmission, distribution and transition charges. As required
by the PUCO's rules, the Company's transition plan also included its
proposals on corporate separation of its regulated and unregulated
operations, operational and technical support changes needed to
accommodate customer choice, an officer not listededucation program to inform customers of
their options under the law, and how the Company's transmission system
will be operated to ensure access to all users. Customer prices would be
frozen through a five-year market development period (2001-2005), except
for certain limited statutory exceptions including the 5% reduction in the
original filing:
ITEM 1. BUSINESSprice of generation for residential customers. The plan: (i) proposed
recovery of generation-related transition costs of approximately
$1.8 billion ($1.6 billion, net of deferred income taxes), $1.9 billion
($1.7 billion, net of deferred income taxes) and $0.8 billion
($0.7 billion, net of deferred income taxes) for OE, CEI and TE,
respectively, over the market development period; and (ii) proposed
recovery of transition costs related to regulatory assets aggregating
approximately $1.5 billion ($1.0 billion, net of deferred income taxes),
$1.9 billion ($1.4 billion, net of deferred income taxes) and $0.8 billion
($0.5 billion, net of deferred income taxes) for OE, CEI and TE,
respectively.
On July 19, 2000, the PUCO approved the Company's transition plan
as modified by a settlement agreement with major parties to the transition
plan. Major parties to the settlement agreement included the PUCO staff, the
Ohio Consumers' Counsel, the Industrial Energy Users-Ohio, certain power
marketers and others. Major provisions of the settlement agreement consisted
of approval of recovery of transition costs in the amounts filed in the
transition plan through no later than 2006 for OE, mid-2007 for TE and 2008
for CEI, except where a longer period of recovery is provided for in the
settlement agreement. The Company will also give preferred access over the
Company's subsidiaries to nonaffiliated marketers, brokers and aggregators
to 1,120 megawatts of generation capacity through 2005 at established prices
for sales to the Ohio operating companies' retail customers. The base
electric rates for distribution service for OE, CEI and TE under their prior
respective regulatory plans will be extended from December 31, 2005 through
December 31, 2007. The transition rate credits for customers under their
prior regulatory plans will also be extended through the Companies'
respective transition cost recovery periods.
The application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation"
(SFAS 71), to OE's generation business and the nonnuclear generation
businesses of CEI and TE was discontinued with the issuance of the PUCO
transition plan order. The SEC issued interpretive guidance regarding asset
impairment measurement that concluded any supplemental regulated cash flows
such as a competitive transition charge (CTC) should be excluded from the
cash flows of assets in a portion of the business not subject to regulatory
accounting practices. If those assets are impaired, a regulatory asset
should be established if the costs are recoverable through regulatory cash
flows. Consistent with the SEC guidance, $1.6 billion of impaired plant
investments ($1.2 billion, $304 million and $53 million for OE, CEI and TE,
respectively) were recognized as regulatory assets recoverable as transition
costs through future regulatory cash flows.
The settlement agreement provides to the Company's Ohio customers
an additional incentive applied to the generation shopping credit of 45%
for residential customers, 30% for commercial customers and 15% for
industrial customers as reductions from their bills, when they select
alternative energy providers (the credits exceed the price the Company will
be offering to electricity suppliers relating to the 1,120 megawatts
described in the preceding paragraph). The amount of the incentive will
serve to reduce the amortization of transition costs during the market
development period and will be recovered over the remaining transition cost
recovery periods. If the customer switching targets established in the
settlement agreement are not achieved by the end of 2005, the transition
cost recovery periods could be shortened for OE, CEI and TE to reduce
recovery by as much as $500 million (OE-$250 million, CEI-$170 million and
TE-$80 million), but any such adjustment would be computed on a class-by-
class and pro-rata basis.
All of OE's, CEI's and TE's regulatory assets will continue to
be recovered from customers under provisions of the Ohio transition plan.
Under the previous regulatory plan, the PUCO had authorized OE to
recognize additional capital recovery related to its generating assets
(which was reflected as additional depreciation expense) and additional
amortization of regulatory assets during the plan period of at least
$2 billion more than the amount that would have been recognized if OE's
plan were not in effect. These additional amounts were being recovered
through current rates. CEI and TE recognized fair value purchase
accounting adjustments to reduce nuclear plant by $1.71 billion and
$0.84 billion, respectively, in connection with the 1997 FirstEnergy
merger. These fair value adjustments recognized for financial reporting
purposes satisfied the asset reduction commitments of at least
$1.4 billion for CEI and $0.6 billion for TE contained in the CEI and TE
plan. For regulatory purposes, CEI and TE recognized the accelerated
amortization over the period that their rate plan was in effect. Based on
the transition plan, OE, CEI and TE continue to bill and collect cost-
based rates for their transmission and distribution services, which remain
regulated; accordingly, it is appropriate that they continue the
application of SFAS 71 to those operations.
PPUC Rate Matters
In December 1996, Pennsylvania enacted "The Electricity
Generation Customer Choice and Competition Act," which permitted
customers, including Penn's customers, to choose their electric generation
supplier, while transmission and distribution services will continue to be
supplied by their current providers. In June 1998, the PPUC authorized a
rate restructuring plan for Penn in accordance with this law, which
essentially resulted in the deregulation of Penn's generation business as
of June 30, 1998. Penn was required to remove from its balance sheet all
regulatory assets and liabilities related to its generation business and
assess all other assets for impairment. In accordance with the above SEC
guidance, Penn reduced its nuclear generating unit investments by
approximately $305 million, of which approximately $227 million was
recognized as a regulatory asset to be recovered through a CTC over a
seven-year transition period; the remaining net amount of $78 million was
written off. The charge of $51.7 million ($30.5 million after income
taxes) for discontinuing the application of SFAS 71 to Penn's generation
business was recorded as a 1998 extraordinary item on the Company's, OE's
and Penn's respective Statement of Income.
The phase in of customer choice was completed on January 1,
2001. Under the plan, Penn continues to deliver power to homes and
businesses through its distribution system, which remains regulated by the
PPUC. Penn's rates have been restructured to establish separate charges
for transmission and distribution; generation, which is subject to
competition, and stranded cost recovery. In the event customers obtain
power from an alternative source, the generation portion of Penn's rates
will be excluded from their bill and the customers will receive a
generation charge from the alternative supplier. The stranded cost
recovery portion of rates provides for recovery of certain amounts not
otherwise considered recoverable in a competitive generation market,
including regulatory assets. Penn is entitled to recover $236 million of
stranded costs through a competitive transition charge that started in
1999 and ends in 2006.
FERC Rate Matters
Rates for wholesale customers are regulated by the FERC. The
current FirstEnergy open access rates were approved by the FERC on
March 16, 2000.
On September 1, 2000, the Company transferred the Companies'
transmission assets into a new subsidiary, ATSI. ATSI now owns and
operates the FirstEnergy transmission system under its own open access
transmission tariff. The new subsidiary represents a first step toward the
goal of establishing or becoming part of a larger independent regional
transmission organization (RTO). In working toward that goal, the Company
joined with four other companies -- American Electric Power (AEP),
Consumers Energy, Detroit Edison and Virginia Power -- to form the
Alliance RTO. On June 3, 1999, the Alliance submitted an application to
the FERC to form an independent, for profit RTO. On December 15, 1999, the
FERC issued an order conditionally approving the Alliance's application.
On January 24, 2001, the Alliance received final FERC approval.Northern
Indiana Public Service Company and The Dayton Power and Light Company have
also joined the Alliance. The Company is working with the Alliance to
achieve operational status by the end of 2001.
On February 21, 2001, the FERC approved the application of
FirstEnergy and the Companies under Sections 203 and 205 of the Federal
Power Act to implement the corporate restructuring plan approved by the
PUCO as part of the Ohio transition plan. The corporate separation plan
approved by the PUCO will result in FirstEnergy's operations being split
into a competitive business unit, a utility business unit, and a support
services unit. The corporate restructuring plan calls for FirstEnergy's
generating facilities to be transferred to an Exempt Wholesale Generator
(EWG) owned by FE Services. The transfer of the generating facilities to
the EWG will occur after bond indenture and sale/leaseback requirements
are satisfied. All competitive sales of generation will occur through FE
Services. FE Services will also sell power to the Companies at fixed
prices sufficient for the Companies to meet their provider of last resort
and other regulatory obligations. The utility business unit will consist
of the transmission and distribution operations of ATSI, CEI, OE, Penn and
TE.
On March 21, 2001, the Company, along with other members of the
Alliance and the Midwest Independent System Operator, Inc. (MISO) filed a
settlement agreement with the FERC that would resolve inter-RTO issues
between the Alliance and MISO. If approved by the FERC, this settlement
agreement will also permit Ameren Corporation, Commonwealth Edison
Company, Commonwealth Edison of Indiana, Inc., and Illinois Power Company
to leave the MISO and join the Alliance.
Fuel Recovery Procedures
In accordance with their respective rate plans, OE's, CEI's and
TE's fuel recovery rates had been frozen, subject only to limited periodic
adjustments. The respective rates were adjusted annually based on changes
in the GDP Implicit Price Deflator, unless significant changes in
environmental, regulatory or tax laws or regulations were to increase or
decrease the cost of fuel. Such changes in laws, regulations and/or taxes
would have required PUCO approval in order to be reflected as an
adjustment to the Electric Fuel Component (EFC) rate.
Commencing July 1, 2000, the OE EFC rate was limited to 97% of
the average fuel cost rate of three utilities within the state. On
March 1, 2000, the respective EFC rates in effect for CEI and TE were
reduced to reflect the elimination of annual fixed charges related to a
Bruce Mansfield Plant coal supply contract which amounted to
$13.96 million for CEI and $8.74 million for TE. The resulting reduced EFC
rates were used as the basis for the annual GDP adjustment, but, in no
event, could either company's annual EFC rate exceed 1.465 cents per kWh
during the rate plan period.
Under the Ohio deregulation legislation the EFC was repealed
effective with the beginning of the market development period on
January 1, 2001. The unbundled retail electric rates for OE, CEI and TE
during the market development period reflects the respective EFC rates
that were in effect when the legislation was effective in 1999.
Under its 1996 plan, Penn eliminated its energy cost rate for
the recovery of fuel and net purchased power costs as a separate component
of customer charges. Energy costs were rolled into Penn's base electric
rates at their projected 1996-1997 level.
Capital Requirements

Short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2000, consisted
of $539.8 million of bank borrowings (Company-$395.0 million, OE-$136.4 and
FE Facilities-$8.4) and $159.9 million of OES Capital, Incorporated
commercial paper. OES Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of OE whose
borrowings are secured by customer accounts receivable. OES Capital can
borrow up to $170 million under a receivables financing agreement at rates
based on certain bank commercial paper. The Company and its utility
operating subsidiaries also had $243 million (Company-$55 million and OE-
$188 million) available under revolving lines of credit as of December 31,
2000. The Company may borrow under the facility and could transfer any of
its borrowings under its $450 million line of credit to CEI and/or TE. In
addition, Penn had a $2 million bank facility available that provides for
borrowings on a short-term basis at the bank's discretion.
Based on their present plans, the Companies could provide for
their cash requirements in 2001 from the following sources: funds to be
received from operations; available cash and temporary cash investments
(approximate amounts as of December 31, 2000: Company's nonutility
subsidiaries-$26 million, OE-$15 million, Penn-$3 million, CEI-$3 million,
TE-$1 million and Company-$1 million); the issuance of long-term debt (for
refunding purposes) and funds available under revolving credit
arrangements.
The extent and type of future financings will depend on the need
for external funds as well as market conditions, the maintenance of an
appropriate capital structure and the ability of the Companies to comply
with coverage requirements in order to issue first mortgage bonds and
preferred stock. The Companies will continue to monitor financial market
conditions and, where appropriate, may take advantage of economic
opportunities to refund debt and preferred stock to the extent that their
financial resources permit.
The coverage requirements contained in the first mortgage
indentures under which the Companies issue first mortgage bonds provide
that, except for certain refunding purposes, the Companies may not issue
first mortgage bonds unless applicable net earnings (before income taxes),
calculated as provided in the indentures, for any period of twelve
consecutive months within the fifteen calendar months preceding the month
in which such additional bonds are issued, are at least twice annual
interest requirements on outstanding first mortgage bonds, including those
being issued. Under OE's first mortgage indenture, the availability of
property additions is more restrictive than the earnings test at the
present time and would limit the amount of first mortgage bonds issuable
against property additions to $158 million. OE is currently able to issue
$921 million principal amount of first mortgage bonds against previously
retired bonds without the need to meet the above restrictions. Under Penn's
first mortgage indenture, other requirements also apply and are more
restrictive than the earnings test at the present time. Penn is currently
able to issue $224 million principal amount of first mortgage bonds, with
up to $123 million of such amount issuable against property additions; the
remainder could be issued against previously retired bonds. CEI and TE can
issue $828 million and $543 million, respectively, principal amount of
first mortgage bonds against a combination of previously retired bonds and
property additions.
OE's, Penn's and TE's respective articles of incorporation
prohibit the sale of preferred stock unless applicable gross income,
calculated as provided in the articles of incorporation, is equal to at
least 1-1/2 times the aggregate of the annual interest requirements on
indebtedness and annual dividend requirements on preferred stock
outstanding immediately thereafter. Based upon earnings for 2000 and an
assumed dividend rate of 9.25%, OE, Penn and TE would be permitted, under
the earnings coverage test contained in their charters, to issue at least
$1.7 billion, $55 million and $463 million of preferred stock,
respectively. There are no restrictions on CEI' s ability to issue
preferred stock.
To the extent that coverage requirements or market conditions
restrict the Companies' abilities to issue desired amounts of first
mortgage bonds or preferred stock, the Companies may seek other methods of
financing. Such financings could include the sale of preferred and/or
preference stock or of such other types of securities as might be
authorized by applicable regulatory authorities which would not otherwise
be sold and could result in annual interest charges and/or dividend
requirements in excess of those that would otherwise be incurred.
Nuclear Regulation
The construction and operation of nuclear generating units are
subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the NRC including the issuance by
it of construction permits and operating licenses. The NRC's procedures
with respect to the amendment of nuclear reactor operating licenses afford
opportunities for interested parties to request adjudicatory hearings on
health, safety and environmental issues subject to meeting NRC "standing"
requirements. In this connection, the NRC may require substantial changes
in operation or the installation of additional equipment to meet safety or
environmental standards, subject to the backfit rule requiring the NRC to
justify such new requirements as necessary for the overall protection of
public health and safety. The possibility also exists for modification,
denial or revocation of licenses in the event of substantial safety
concerns at the nuclear facility. Beaver Valley Unit 1 was placed in
commercial operation in 1976, and its operating license expires in 2016.
Davis-Besse was placed in commercial operation in 1977, and its operating
license expires in 2017. Perry Unit 1 and Beaver Valley Unit 2 were placed
in commercial operation in 1987, and their operating licenses expire in
2026 and 2027, respectively.
The NRC has promulgated and continues to promulgate regulations
related to the safe operation of nuclear power plants. The Companies cannot
predict what additional regulations will be promulgated or design changes
required or the effect that any such regulations or design changes, or the
consideration thereof, may have upon their nuclear plants. Although the
Companies have no reason to anticipate an accident at any of their nuclear
plants, if such an accident did happen, it could have a material but
currently undeterminable adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position. In addition, such an accident at any operating nuclear
plant, whether or not owned by the Companies, could result in regulations
or requirements that could affect the operation or licensing of plants that
the Companies do own with a consequent but currently undeterminable adverse
impact, and could affect the Companies' abilities to raise funds in the
capital markets.
Nuclear Insurance
The Price-Anderson Act limits the public liability which can be
assessed with respect to a nuclear power plant to $9.5 billion (assuming
106 units licensed to operate) for a single nuclear incident, which amount
is covered by: (i) private insurance amounting to $200 million; and
(ii) $9.3 billion provided by an industry retrospective rating plan
required by the NRC pursuant thereto. Under such retrospective rating plan,
in the event of a nuclear incident at any unit in the United States
resulting in losses in excess of private insurance, up to $88.1 million
(but not more than $10 million per unit per year in the event of more than
one incident) must be contributed for each nuclear unit licensed to operate
in the country by the licensees thereof to cover liabilities arising out of
the incident. Based on their nuclear ownership and leasehold interests, the
Companies' maximum potential assessment under these provisions would be
$352.4 million (OE-$94.2 million, Penn-$74.0 million, CEI-$106.3 million
and TE-$77.9 million) per incident but not more than $40.0 million (OE-
$10.7 million, Penn-$8.4 million, CEI-$12.1 million and TE-$8.8 million) in
any one year for each incident.
In addition to the public liability insurance provided pursuant
to the Price-Anderson Act, the Companies have also obtained insurance
coverage in limited amounts for economic loss and property damage arising
out of nuclear incidents. The Companies are members of Nuclear Electric
Insurance Limited (NEIL) which provides coverage (NEIL I) for the extra
expense of replacement power incurred due to prolonged accidental outages
of nuclear units. Under NEIL I, the Companies have policies, renewable
yearly, corresponding to their respective nuclear interests, which provide
an aggregate indemnity of up to approximately $789 million (OE-
$210 million, Penn-$148 million, CEI-$255 million and TE-$176 million) for
replacement power costs incurred during an outage after an initial 12-week
waiting period. Members of NEIL I pay annual premiums and are subject to
assessments if losses exceed the accumulated funds available to the
insurer. The Companies' present maximum aggregate assessment for incidents
at any covered nuclear facility occurring during a policy year would be
approximately $4.1 million (OE-$1.1 million, Penn-$0.9 million, CEI-
$1.2 million and TE-$0.9 million).
The Companies are insured as to their respective nuclear
interests under property damage insurance provided by NEIL to the operating
company for each plant. Under these arrangements, $2.75 billion of coverage
for decontamination costs, decommissioning costs, debris removal and repair
and/or replacement of property is provided. The Companies pay annual
premiums for this coverage and are liable for retrospective assessments of
up to approximately $33.5 million (OE-$9.3 million, Penn-$6.5 million, CEI-
$10.5 million and TE-$7.2 million) during a policy year.
The Companies intend to maintain insurance against nuclear risks
as described above as long as it is available. To the extent that
replacement power, property damage, decontamination, decommissioning,
repair and replacement costs and other such costs arising from a nuclear
incident at any of the Companies' plants exceed the policy limits of the
insurance in effect with respect to that plant, to the extent a nuclear
incident is determined not to be covered by the Companies' insurance
policies, or to the extent such insurance becomes unavailable in the
future, the Companies would remain at risk for such costs.
The NRC requires nuclear power plant licensees to obtain minimum
property insurance coverage of $1.06 billion or the amount generally
available from private sources, whichever is less. The proceeds of this
insurance are required to be used first to ensure that the licensed reactor
is in a safe and stable condition and can be maintained in that condition
so as to prevent any significant risk to the public health and safety.
Within 30 days of stabilization, the licensee is required to prepare and
submit to the NRC a cleanup plan for approval. The plan is required to
identify all cleanup operations necessary to decontaminate the reactor
sufficiently to permit the resumption of operations or to commence
decommissioning. Any property insurance proceeds not already expended to
place the reactor in a safe and stable condition must be used first to
complete those decontamination operations that are ordered by the NRC. The
Companies are unable to predict what effect these requirements may have on
the availability of insurance proceeds to the Companies for the Companies'
bondholders.
Environmental Matters
Various federal, state and local authorities regulate the
Companies with regard to air and water quality and other environmental
matters. The Companies have estimated capital expenditures for
environmental compliance of approximately $201 million, which is included
in the construction estimate given under "Capital Requirements" for 2001
through 2005.
Air Regulation
Under the provisions of the Clean Air Act of 1970, both the State
of Ohio and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania adopted ambient air quality
standards, and related emission limits, including limits for sulfur dioxide
(SO2) and particulates. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) promulgated an SO2 regulatory plan for Ohio which became
effective for OE's, CEI's and TE's plants in 1977. Generating plants to be
constructed in the future and some future modifications of existing
facilities will be covered not only by the applicable state standards but
also by EPA emission performance standards for new sources. In both Ohio
and Pennsylvania the construction or certain modifications of emission
sources requires approval from appropriate environmental authorities, and
the facilities involved may not be operated unless a permit or variance to
do so has been issued by those same authorities.
The Companies are required to meet federally approved SO2
regulations. Violations of such regulations can result in shutdown of the
generating unit involved and/or civil or criminal penalties of up to
$27,500 for each day the unit is in violation. The EPA has an interim
enforcement policy for SO2 regulations in Ohio that allows for compliance
based on a 30-day averaging period. The Companies cannot predict what
action the EPA may take in the future with respect to the interim
enforcement policy.
The Companies are in compliance with the current SO2 and nitrogen
oxides (NOx) reduction requirements under the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990. SO2 reductions are being achieved by burning lower-sulfur fuel,
generating more electricity from lower-emitting plants, and/or using
emission allowances. NOx reductions are being achieved through combustion
controls and the generation of more electricity at lower-emitting plants.
In September 1998, the EPA finalized regulations requiring additional NOx
reductions from the Companies' Ohio and Pennsylvania facilities. The EPA's
NOx Transport Rule imposes uniform reductions of NOx emissions (an
approximate 85% reduction in utility plant NOx emissions from projected
2007 emissions) across a region of twenty-two states and the District of
Columbia, including Ohio and Pennsylvania, based on a conclusion that such
NOx emissions are contributing significantly to ozone pollution in the
eastern United States. In March 2000, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
D.C. Circuit upheld EPA's NOx Transport Rule except as applied to the State
of Wisconsin and portions of Georgia and Missouri. By October 2000, states
were to submit revised State Implementation Plans (SIP) to comply by
May 31, 2004 with individual state NOx budgets established by the EPA.
Pennsylvania recently submitted a SIP that requires compliance with the NOx
budgets at the Companies' Pennsylvania facilities by May 1, 2003 and Ohio
submitted a "draft" SIP that requires compliance with the NOx budgets at
the Companies' Ohio facilities by May 31, 2004. A Federal Implementation
Plan accompanied the NOx Transport Rule and may be implemented by the EPA
in states which fail to revise their SIP. In another separate but related
action, eight states filed petitions with the EPA under Section 126 of the
Clean Air Act seeking reductions of NOx emissions which are alleged to
contribute to ozone pollution in the eight petitioning states. The EPA
position is that the Section 126 petitions will be adequately addressed by
the NOx Transport Program, but a December 17, 1999 rulemaking established
an alternative program which would require nearly identical 85% NOx
reductions at 392 utility plants, including the Companies' Ohio and
Pennsylvania plants, by May 2003, in the event implementation of the NOx
Transport Rule is not implemented by a state. Additional Section 126
petitions were filed by New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and the District of
Columbia in mid-1999 and are still under evaluation by the EPA. The
Companies continue to evaluate their compliance plans and other compliance
options.
In July 1997, the EPA promulgated changes in the National Ambient
Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone and proposed a new NAAQS for
previously unregulated ultra-fine particulate matter. In May 1999, the U.S.
Court of Appeals found constitutional and other defects in the new NAAQS
rules. In February 2001, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the new NAAQS rules
regulating ultra-fine particulates but found defects in the new NAAQS rules
for ozone and decided that the EPA must revise those rules. The future cost
of compliance with these regulations may be substantial and will depend on
the manner in which they are ultimately implemented, if at all, by the
states in which the Companies operate affected facilities.
In 1999 and 2000, the EPA issued Notices of Violation (NOV) or a
Compliance Order to nine utilities covering 44 power plants, including the
W. H. Sammis Plant. In addition, the U.S. Department of Justice filed eight
civil complaints against various investor-owned utilities, which included a
complaint against OE and Penn in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Ohio. The NOV and complaint allege violations of the Clean Air
Act based on operation and maintenance of the Sammis Plant dating back to
1984. The complaint requests permanent injunctive relief to require the
installation of "best available control technology" and civil penalties of
up to $27,500 per day of violation. Although unable to predict the outcome
of these proceedings, the Company believes the Sammis Plant is in full
compliance with the Clean Air Act and the NOV and complaint are without
merit. Penalties could be imposed if the Sammis Plant continues to operate
without correcting the alleged violations and a court determines that the
allegations are valid. The Sammis Plant continues to operate while these
proceedings are pending.
In December 2000, the EPA announced it would proceed with the
development of regulations regarding hazardous air pollutants from electric
power plants. The EPA identified mercury as the hazardous air pollutant of
greatest concern. The EPA established a schedule to propose regulations by
December 2003 and issue final regulations by December 2004. The future cost
of compliance with these regulations may be substantial.
Water Regulation
Various water quality regulations, the majority of which are the
result of the federal Clean Water Act and its amendments, apply to the
Companies' plants. In addition, Ohio and Pennsylvania have water quality
standards applicable to the Companies' operations. As provided in the Clean
Water Act, authority to grant federal National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System water discharge permits can be assumed by a state. Ohio
and Pennsylvania have assumed such authority.
Waste Disposal
As a result of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
1976, as amended, and the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, federal and
state hazardous waste regulations have been promulgated. Certain fossil-
fuel combustion waste products, such as coal ash, were exempted from
hazardous waste disposal requirements pending EPA's evaluation of the need
for future regulation. EPA has issued its final regulatory determination
that regulation of coal ash as a hazardous waste is unnecessary. On
April 25, 2000, the EPA announced that it will develop national standards
regulating disposal of coal ash under its authority to regulate
nonhazardous waste.
CEI and TE have been named as "potentially responsible parties"
(PRPs) at waste disposal sites which may require cleanup under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980. Allegations of disposal of hazardous substances at historical sites
and the liability involved, are often unsubstantiated and subject to
dispute. Federal law provides that all PRPs for a particular site be held
liable on a joint and several basis. CEI and TE have accrued liabilities
totaling $3.7 million at December 31, 2000, based on estimates of the total
costs of cleanup, the proportionate responsibility of other PRPs for such
costs and the financial ability of other PRPs to pay. CEI and TE believe
that waste disposal costs will not have a material adverse effect on their
financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
In 1980, Congress passed the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy
Act which provides that the disposal of low-level radioactive waste is the
responsibility of the state where such waste is generated. The Act
encourages states to form compacts among themselves to develop regional
disposal facilities. Failure by a state or compact to begin implementation
of a program could result in access denial to the two facilities currently
accepting low-level radioactive waste. Ohio is part of the Midwest Compact
and has responsibility for siting and constructing a disposal facility. On
June 26, 1997, the Midwest Compact Commission (Compact) voted to cease all
siting activities in the host state of Ohio and to dismantle the Ohio Low-
Level Radioactive Waste Facility Development Authority, the statutory
agency charged with siting and constructing the low-level radioactive waste
disposal facility. While the Compact remains intact, it has no plans to
site or construct a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility in the
Midwest. The Companies continue to ship low-level radioactive waste from
their nuclear facilities to the Barnwell, South Carolina waste disposal
facility.
Summary
Environmental controls are still in the process of development
and require, in many instances, balancing the needs for additional
quantities of energy in future years and the need to protect the
environment. As a result, the Companies cannot now estimate the precise
effect of existing and potential regulations and legislation upon any of
their existing and proposed facilities and operations or upon their ability
to issue additional first mortgage bonds under their respective mortgages.
These mortgages contain covenants by the Companies to observe and conform
to all valid governmental requirements at the time applicable unless in
course of contest, and provisions which, in effect, prevent the issuance of
additional bonds if there is a completed default under the mortgage. The
provisions of each of the mortgages, in effect, also require, in the
opinion of counsel for the respective Companies, that certification of
property additions as the basis for the issuance of bonds or other action
under the mortgages be accompanied by an opinion of counsel that the
company certifying such property additions has all governmental permissions
at the time necessary for its then current ownership and operation of such
property additions. The Companies intend to contest any requirements they
deem unreasonable or impossible for compliance or otherwise contrary to the
public interest. Developments in these and other areas of regulation may
require the Companies to modify, supplement or replace equipment and
facilities, and may delay or impede the construction and operation of new
facilities, at costs which could be substantial.
Fuel Supply
The Companies' sources of generation during 2000 were:
Coal Nuclear
---- -------
OE 73.8% 26.2%
Penn 38.8% 61.2%
CEI 53.4% 46.6%
TE 43.3% 56.7%
Total FirstEnergy 58.5% 41.5%
The Company currently has long-term coal contracts which will
provide approximately 11,040,000 tons for the year 2001. The contracts are
shared among the Companies based on various economic considerations. This
contract coal is produced primarily from mines located in Pennsylvania,
Kentucky and West Virginia. The contracts expire at various times through
December 31, 2005.
The Companies estimate their 2001 coal requirements to be
approximately 18,230,000 tons (OE - 7,425,000, Penn - 6,050,000, CEI -
3,465,000, and TE - 1,290,000). See "Environmental Matters" for factors
pertaining to meeting environmental regulations affecting coal-fired
generating units.
OES Fuel is the sole lessor for OE's and Penn's nuclear fuel
requirements (see "Capital Requirements," Note 4G of Notes to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 3F of Notes to OE's Consolidated
Financial Statements). Nuclear fuel is currently financed for CEI and TE
through leases with a special-purpose corporation.
The Company has contracts for uranium material and conversion
services through 2006. The enrichment services are contracted for the
majority of the enrichment requirements for nuclear fuel through 2005.
Fabrication services for fuel assemblies are contracted for the next three
reloads for Beaver Valley Unit 1, three reloads for Beaver Valley Unit 2
(through approximately 2004 and 2005, respectively), the next two reloads
for Davis-Besse (through approximately 2005) and through the life of the
plant for Perry (through approximately 2026). In addition to the existing
commitments, the Company intends to make additional arrangements for the
supply of uranium and for the subsequent conversion, enrichment,
fabrication, and waste disposal services.
On-site spent fuel storage facilities are expected to be adequate
for Perry through 2011; facilities at Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2 are
expected to be adequate through 2018 and 2009, respectively. After
scheduled plant modifications are completed in 2002, Davis-Besse will have
adequate storage through the remainder of its operating license period.
After current on-site storage capacity is exhausted, additional storage
capacity will have to be obtained either through plant modifications,
interim off-site disposal, or permanent waste disposal facilities. The
Federal Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 provides for the construction of
facilities for the permanent disposal of high-level nuclear wastes,
including spent fuel from nuclear power plants operated by electric
utilities; however, the selection of a suitable site is embroiled in the
political process. The Company has contracts with the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) for the disposal of spent fuel for Beaver Valley, Davis-Besse
and Perry. On December 17, 1996, the DOE notified the Company that it would
be unable to begin acceptance of spent fuel for disposal by January 31,
1998 as mandated by Section 302(a)(5)(B) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act
(NPA). Based on the DOE schedule published in the July 1999 Draft
Environmental Impact Statement, the Yucca Mountain Repository is currently
projected to start receiving spent fuel in 2010. The Company intends to
make additional arrangements for storage capacity as a contingency for
further delays with the DOE acceptance of spent fuel for disposal past
2010.
System Capacity and Reserves
The 2000 net maximum hourly demand on each of the Companies was:
OE-5,538,000 kilowatts (kW) (including an additional 310,000 kW of firm
power sales as discussed under "Competition") on June 14, 2000; Penn-
926,000 kW (including an additional 63,000 kW of firm power sales as
discussed under "Competition") on December 12, 2000; CEI-4,280,000 kW
(excluding an additional 50,000 kW of firm power sales under a contract
which extends through 2002 as discussed under "Competition") on June 14,
2000; and TE-1,976,000 kW on August 15, 2000.
The Company is constructing twelve new combustion turbines (CTs),
increasing generation capability by 1,155 MW by 2003. Eight of the new CTs
(815 MW) are expected to be on-line by the summer of 2001. The remaining 4
CTs (340 MW) are planned to be available for the summer of 2002. Based on
existing capacity plans, firm purchase contracts and anticipated term power
sales, the capacity margin anticipated for the next two years ranges from
12%-14%. In addition to physical assets and contracts, the Company's power
supply plan includes interruptible retail contracts and retail demand-side
management options and financial hedges such as call options, futures and
forwards.
Regional Reliability
The Companies participate with 24 other electric companies
operating in nine states in the East Central Area Reliability Coordination
Agreement (ECAR), which was organized for the purpose of furthering the
reliability of bulk power supply in the area through coordination of the
planning and operation by the ECAR members of their bulk power supply
facilities. The ECAR members have established principles and procedures
regarding matters affecting the reliability of the bulk power supply within
the ECAR region. Procedures have been adopted regarding: i) the evaluation
and simulated testing of systems' performance; ii) the establishment of
minimum levels of daily operating reserves; iii) the development of a
program regarding emergency procedures during conditions of declining
system frequency; and iv) the basis for uniform rating of generating
equipment.
Competition
The Companies had traditionally competed with other utilities for
intersystem bulk power sales and for sales to municipalities and
cooperatives. The Companies compete with suppliers of natural gas and other
forms of energy in connection with their industrial and commercial sales
and in the home climate control market, both with respect to new customers
and conversions, and with all other suppliers of electricity. To date,
there has been no substantial cogeneration by the Companies' customers.
As a result of the actions taken by state legislative bodies over
the last few years, major changes in the electric utility business are
occurring in parts of the United States, including Ohio and Pennsylvania,
in which the Company's utility subsidiaries operate. These changes have
resulted in fundamental alterations in the way traditional integrated
utilities and holding company systems, like FirstEnergy, conduct their
business. In accordance with the Ohio electric utility restructuring law
under which Ohio electric customers choose their electric generation
suppliers starting in January 2001, the Company has further aligned its
business units to accommodate its retail strategy and participate in the
competitive electricity marketplace in Ohio. The organizational changes are
intended to deal with the unbundling of electric utility services and new
ways of conducting business.
Sales of electricity in these deregulated markets are
diversifying the Companies' revenue sources through FirstEnergy's
competitive subsidiaries in areas outside of their franchise areas. This
strategy has positioned the Company to compete in the northeast quadrant of
the United States - the region targeted by the Company for growth. The
Company's competitive subsidiaries are actively participating in
deregulated energy markets in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland. Currently, FE Services is providing electric generation to
customers within those states. As additional states within the northeast
region of the United States become deregulated, FE Services is preparing to
enter these markets.
Competition in Ohio's electric generation business is being
phased in during the five-year market development period, through 2005. The
Company has moved the operation of the generation portion of its business
to the competitive business unit as reflected in its approved Ohio
transition plan. The Companies will continue to provide generation services
to regulated franchise customers who have not chosen an alternative,
competitive generation supplier, by obtaining generation through power
supply agreements with the competitive business unit. In addition to
electric generation, FE Services is also competing in deregulated natural
gas markets, adding nearly 140,000 customers in 2000, as well as offering
other energy related products and services.
In an effort to utilize more fully their facilities and hold down
costs to their other customers, OE and Penn have entered into a long-term
power sales agreement with another utility. Currently, OE and Penn are
selling 450,000 kW annually under this contract through December 31, 2005.
OE and Penn have the option to reduce this commitment by 150,000 kW, with
three years' advance notice. In addition, CEI has entered into a long-term
power sales contract with another utility and is currently selling up to
20,000 kW under this contract though December 31, 2002.
Research and Development
The Companies participate in funding the Electric Power Research
Institute (EPRI), which was formed for the purpose of expanding electric
research and development under the voluntary sponsorship of the nation's
electric utility industry - public, private and cooperative. Its goal is to
mutually benefit utilities and their customers by promoting the development
of new and improved technologies to help the utility industry meet present
and future electric energy needs in environmentally and economically
