Exhibit 99.1 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The unaudited pro forma financial information presented on the following pages is derived from the historical financial statements of DQE, Inc. and subsidiaries ("DQE"). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 1999 gives pro forma effect to the generation asset divestiture described in Item 2 as if such transaction had been consummated on December 31, 1999. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income gives pro forma effect to the generation asset divestiture described in Item 2 as if the transaction had been consummated on January 1, 1999. The pro forma adjustments do not reflect any operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be achievable with respect to the divested assets. The pro forma adjustments do not include any adjustments to historical revenues and expenses for any future price changes or any adjustments to operating expenses for any future operation changes except for those items that are directly related to the operation of the generation facilities. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results that would have occurred had the generation assets divestiture been consummated on the dates for which such transaction is being given effect.

No change would result to operating revenues as the amount of POLR revenues are unaffected. Operating expenses related to coal and nuclear generation (fuel, operating and maintenance costs, and property taxes) have been eliminated. In addition, purchased power and gross receipt taxes have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the provider of last resort agreement with Orion. Under this agreement, the cost of the purchased power will be equal to the operating revenue received from customers who do not switch to another energy supplier. (b) Since Duquesne Light would have recovered approximately $1.1 billion of transition costs (net of deferred taxes) at the beginning of 1999 through the generation auction, the permitted return on the unrecovered balance of transition costs would have been substantially reduced. This reduced return is reflected as additional amortization expense. The increase in amortization expense is offset by a reduction in depreciation expense related to the generation facilities of $21,793. (c) Adjustment represents the impact of the elimination of the interest component on the Beaver Valley Unit 2 lease of $35,245 and the incremental debt and interest expense of $9,844 incurred by DQE from the issuance of commercial paper and other debt in anticipation of receiving generation auction proceeds. (d) Adjustment represents the impact of the repurchase of $469,334 of common stock on January 1, 1999. This amount reflects the estimated amount of treasury stock purchases to be made by DQE with the auction proceeds. (e) Adjustment represents the write-off of the net book value of the generation plant assets, materials and supplies inventory, the recovery on December 31, 1999 of the transition assets (including the related deferred income taxes) and the recovery of the previously deferred divestiture expenses. (f) Adjustment represents the net income tax impact of all of the pro forma adjustments utilizing Duquesne Light's effective tax rate.
