Significant Insignificant Portfolio Management in 2005 Includes changes in generation stack due to roll off of PPAs Off-peak length is a major driver of open position Natural gas is purchased for peakers in the summer for high-load days Acquired intermediate products from bilateral market to better match assets and load obligations RES migration assumptions can vary in a range of 2000 MWs; utilize options to cover floating RES risk Portfolio Management in 2006 Biggest drivers of uncertainty are market prices and RES migration. Market prices have been increasing over the last few months particularly in the off peak. Some load-following capability has been acquired from the bilateral market. Commodity Impact Comments Natural Gas Prices Gas is on the margin for some on-peak hours, and we are primarily a base-load generator Oil Prices Oil is not on the margin a significant amount of time and does not drive prices Gas Spark Compared to base-load length, spark length does not significantly drive margins Oil Spark Minimal oil capacity in the portfolio RES = Retail Energy Supplier Midwest: Key Elements Forecast |

Significant Insignificant Commodity Impact Comments Natural Gas Prices Gas is increasingly on the margin We have a substantial amount of base-load capacity. Therefore, gas price movements drive the power market and affect our margins.

Illinois Post-06 Update William P. McNeil Director, Regulatory Strategies, ComEd Harris Nesbitt Investor Meeting Kennett Square March 31, 2005 |
Competition Benefiting IL Customers Since the onset of customer choice in 1997, more than 70% of ComEd's biggest customers have chosen alternatives to bundled rates, some saving up to 15% Residential customers saved 20% with a rate reduction, and even more considering a 10-year rate freeze when the CPI increased 20% (current rates lowest since early 1990's) Since 1998, outage frequency is down 44%, duration is down 53% Nuclear capacity factors have increased from 49% to 93% 9,000 megawatts of new competitive power supply brought on line (and not in rate base) |
Process Moving Forward 12/3/04 ICC staff report to General Assembly endorsed an auction process similar to New Jersey's (best fit with consensus of Procurement Working Group) ComEd made filings at the ICC on February 25 proposing an auction process Details of the filing and case schedule were previewed with all stakeholders including ICC staff Proceeding will likely run through January 2006 Auction has support of a variety of stakeholders Bi-partisan House Committee formed to oversee Post-2006 process (Chairman: George Scully) Will hear testimony from a broad range of stakeholders before determining General Assembly's level of involvement and direction to the ICC A separate filing for delivery rates and new rate design will be made in the 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2005 |
Illinois Procurement Filing Overview Annual "reverse auction" to procure supply for customers post 2006 Staggered 1, 3 and 5 year contracts for <1 MW customers Staggering creates rate stability for customers 100% of load bid out in year 1; 40% each year thereafter Recent New Jersey BGS auction resulted in wholesale price increase of 18% over prior year due to higher fuel prices, but staggering process reduced impact on customers' electric bills to a 2.8% increase NJ Ratepayer Advocate: "We don't like any increases, but considering what is going on in the market, it is not bad. We were expecting worse." Large customers to be offered annual or hourly price -- depending on whether or not they are subject to competitive declaration 50% load cap for any single supplier Requires mark-to-market collateral posting by suppliers Tariff translates wholesale auction into retail rates by customer class Auction managed by an independent third party and overseen by ICC |

Current Model Utility Genco Customers Hours Genco is sole supplier of customer load through a PPA with ComEd Bundled service for customers >3MW has been declared competitive Genco/ComEd PPA Bundled Rate Customer Load |
Competitive Procurement Model Competitive Suppliers Utility Genco Customers - - Load up for auction XX% XX% XX% Hours Percentages of System Load Multiple winning bidders would supply customer load in vertical slices (fixed % of hourly energy demand) New rates determined by auction results Clock Auction Rate Options |
Understanding the Auction: Product Laddering ComEd Suggested Load Auctioned by Term 50% Auction Load Cap allows ExGen to sell slightly less than 50% of its economic generation directly to ComEd; remainder sold through other channels Annual auctions allow for rebalancing position up to the load cap curve Physical asset ownership not required to participate or win in Load Auctions Notes: Unique product term required in 1st Auction to stagger load in future Auctions 1st Auction term begins 1/1/07 with 5 months added to each term to align with the PJM planning year (June 1 - May 31) |
Fourth annual reverse auction in NJ completed 2/16/05 While the wholesale price of energy increased by 18% over last year's prices, the staggered terms of the auction contracts will result in customers of NJ's largest utility (PSE&G) seeing an annual increase to total bills of 2.8% Only 1/3 of the energy component in the overall bill is put out to bid annually The energy component is approximately half of the overall bill (with the delivery and transmission components comprising the remaining half) Therefore, in any given year, 1/3 of about 50% (or about 1/6) of the total electric bill is out for bid 25 suppliers participated in the reverse auction with 7 winning bidders BGS Auction Summary |

PJM Overview Jack Crowley Director, Regulatory Affairs, Power Team Harris Nesbitt Investor Meeting Kennett Square March 31, 2005 |
PJM is the world's largest competitive wholesale electricity marketplace With the anticipated integration of Dominion Resources, PJM will have a single control area that: Serves 51 million people Has 126,280 megawatts of peak load Has 160,290 megawatts of generating capacity Covers 164,260 square miles of territory in 13 states plus D.C. Exelon will be the largest generator in PJM PJM Marketplace |

Energy Markets Locational Marginal Clearing Price Market Day-ahead and Real-Time Energy products Energy Market trading hubs facilitate energy transactions Capacity Markets Daily, monthly, multi-month, and annual capacity markets Ancillary Service Markets PJM procures Spinning, Regulation, Reactive, Black start ancillary service products Bilateral & Self-Supply Options All of the products mentioned above can be bought or sold bilaterally or self-supplied Markets in PJM |
Independent Market Monitor determined that the PJM markets were competitive in 2004 Transparent market design encourages competitive behavior Average energy prices increased 10.8% in 2004 over 2003 Adjusting for fuel increases, average PJM prices fell 4.2% in 2004 The Independent Market Monitor is concerned with the existing PJM capacity construct and recommends market enhancements State of the PJM Market |
Single product - Unforced Capacity Credit Fungible across entire market footprint Assumes reliability under all operating conditions No differentiation by generation type or location Procured based on single reserve margin applied to peak load (a vertical demand curve) Daily, Monthly, Multi-Month product Load-Serving Entity (LSE) capacity obligation must be met one day in advance of operating day Existing Capacity Market in PJM |
Volatile prices - unpredictable behavior Vertical demand curve produces either very low capacity price with small amount of excess supply or very high capacity price with small reductions in available supply Daily market jeopardizes resource adequacy When the new entry capacity price signal is sent, it's too late to build a power plant All capacity resources are not the same Some units critical to reliability (local) can not cover going forward cash costs and are retiring (PSEG units) PJM needs units that can load follow, start multiple times in a day and be on-line in 30 minutes Problems with Current Capacity Construct |
Centralized commitment four years forward Annual commitment/annual price for capacity Price set by intersection of supply curve and "sloped" demand curve Locational capacity market Operational Reliability Metrics Comprehensive Market Power Mitigation Plan Reliability Backstop Mechanism Bilateral and self-supply contracts accommodated PJM's Proposed Reliability Pricing Model |
The PJM Market is a well-functioning competitive wholesale market The PJM market facilitates New Jersey/Maryland style load-following auctions Exelon can participate directly in auction or provide underlying supply to other auction participants The PJM market design matches up nicely with Exelon's asset base and risk management skills Proposed capacity construct will enhance price stability and increase overall capacity revenues Impacts/Benefits to Exelon |
