1. Basis of Presentation (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE)
Exelon is a utility services holding company engaged through its principal subsidiaries in the energy generation and energy distribution businesses.
The energy generation business includes:
| Generation: Physical delivery and marketing of owned and contracted electric generation capacity and provision of renewable and other energy-related products and services, and natural gas exploration and production activities. Generation has six reportable segments consisting of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New England, New York, ERCOT and Other regions. |
The energy delivery businesses include:
| ComEd: Purchase and regulated retail sale of electricity and the provision of distribution and transmission services in northern Illinois, including the City of Chicago. |
| PECO: Purchase and regulated retail sale of electricity and the provision of distribution and transmission services in southeastern Pennsylvania, including the City of Philadelphia, and the purchase and regulated retail sale of natural gas and the provision of distribution services in the Pennsylvania counties surrounding the City of Philadelphia. |
| BGE: Purchase and regulated retail sale of electricity and the provision of distribution and transmission services in central Maryland, including the City of Baltimore, and the purchase and regulated retail sale of natural gas and the provision of distribution services in central Maryland, including the City of Baltimore. |
Each of the Registrants Consolidated Financial Statements includes the accounts of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Certain prior year amounts in the Exelon, Generation and BGE Consolidated Statement of Operations have been reclassified between line items for comparative purposes and correction of prior period classification errors identified in 2013. The reclassifications did not affect any of the Registrants net income or cash flows from operating activities. Exelon and Generation corrected the presentation of purchase power and fuel from affiliates of $318 million and $321 million, respectively, on their Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Generation and BGE also corrected the presentation of interest expense to affiliates, net of $17 million and $4 million, respectively, on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the three months then ended are unaudited but, in the opinion of the management of each Registrant include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the Registrants respective financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed. The December 31, 2013 Consolidated Balance Sheets were obtained from audited financial statements. Financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. These Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Combined Consolidated Financial Statements of all Registrants included in ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA of their respective 2013 Form 10-K Reports.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE)
The following recently issued accounting standards were adopted by or are effective for the Registrants during 2014.
Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits When Net Operating Loss Carryforwards, Similar Tax Losses or Tax Credit Carryforwards Exist
In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring entities to present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction to deferred tax assets for losses or other tax carryforwards that would be available to offset the uncertain tax positions at the reporting date. This guidance was effective for the Registrants for periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and was required to be applied prospectively. The Registrants did not apply this guidance retrospectively; it will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard had an immaterial effect on the presentation of deferred tax assets at Exelon and Generation and no effect on ComEd, PECO and BGE. There was no effect on the Registrants results of operations or cash flows.
3. Variable Interest Entities (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE)
Under the applicable authoritative guidance, a VIE is a legal entity that possesses any of the following characteristics: an insufficient amount of equity at risk to finance its activities, equity owners who do not have the power to direct the significant activities of the entity (or have voting rights that are disproportionate to their ownership interest), or equity owners who do not have the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. Companies are required to consolidate a VIE if they are its primary beneficiary, which is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entitys economic performance.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Exelon, Generation, and BGE collectively consolidated five and four VIEs or VIE groups, respectively, for which the applicable Registrant was the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Registrants had significant interests in eight other VIEs for which the Registrants do not have the power to direct the entities activities and accordingly, were not the primary beneficiary.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Exelon, Generation and BGEs consolidated VIEs consist of:
| BondCo, a special purpose bankruptcy remote limited liability company formed by BGE to acquire, hold, and issue and service bonds secured by rate stabilization property; |
| a retail gas group formed by Generation to enter into a collateralized gas supply agreement with a third-party gas supplier; |
| a group of solar project limited liability companies formed by Generation to build, own and operate solar power facilities, |
| several wind project companies designed by Generation to develop, construct and operate wind generation facilities, and |
| certain retail power companies for which Generation is the sole supplier of energy. |
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, ComEd and PECO do not have any consolidated VIEs.
For each of the consolidated VIEs, except as otherwise noted:
| The assets of the VIEs are restricted and can only be used to settle obligations of the respective VIE. In the case of BondCo, BGE is required to remit all payments it receives from all residential customers |
35

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
through non-bypassable, rate stabilization charges to BondCo. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, BGE remitted $21 million and $22 million, respectively, to BondCo. |
| Except for providing capital funding to the solar entities for ongoing construction of the solar power facilities, including the solar entities limited recourse to Generation with respect to the remaining equity contributions necessary to complete the Antelope Valley project, immaterial parental guarantees posted to electric distribution companies for the retail power companies, and a $75 million parental guarantee to the third-party gas supplier in support of the retail gas group, during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013: |
| Exelon, Generation and BGE did not provide any additional material financial support to the VIEs; |
| Exelon, Generation and BGE did not have any material contractual commitments or obligations to provide financial support to the VIEs; and |
| the creditors of the VIEs did not have recourse to Exelons, Generations or BGEs general credit. |
For additional information on these project-specific financing arrangements refer to Note 8 Debt and Credit Agreements.
The carrying amounts and classification of the consolidated VIEs assets and liabilities included in Exelons, Generations, and BGEs consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

(a) | Includes certain purchase accounting adjustments not pushed down to the BGE standalone entity. |
In March 2014, Generation began consolidating retail power VIEs for which Generation is the primary beneficiary as a result of energy supply contracts that give Generation the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entities. Generation does not have an equity ownership interest in these entities. These entities are included in Generations consolidated financial statements and the consolidation of the VIEs did not have a material impact on Generations financial results or financial condition.
On April 1, 2014, Generation, CENG, and subsidiaries of CENG executed the Nuclear Operating Services Agreement (NOSA) pursuant to which Generation now conducts all activities associated with the operations of the CENG fleet and provides corporate and administrative services to CENG for the remaining life of the CENG nuclear plants as if they were a part of the Generation nuclear fleet, subject to the CENG member rights of EDFI. As a result of executing the NOSA, Generation has the responsibility to conduct CENGs operating activities pursuant to contractual arrangements rather than through the equity investment; therefore CENG will qualify as a VIE in the second quarter of 2014. Further, since Generation is conducting the operational activities of CENG, Generation qualifies as the primary beneficiary of CENG and, therefore, will be required to consolidate the financial position and results of operations of CENG beginning in the second quarter of 2014. For additional information on this transaction refer to Note 5 Investment in Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
Exelons and Generations variable interests in unconsolidated VIEs generally include equity investments and energy purchase and sale contracts. For the equity investments, the carrying amount of the investments is reflected on Exelons and Generations Consolidated Balance Sheets in Investments in affiliates, Investments, and Other Assets. For the energy purchase and sale contracts and the fuel purchase commitments (commercial agreements), the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in Exelons and Generations Consolidated Balance Sheets that relate to their involvement with the VIEs are predominately related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by, or owed to, Exelon and Generation for the deliveries associated with the current billing cycles under the commercial agreements. Further, Exelon and Generation have not provided material debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements or performance guarantees associated with these commercial agreements.
The Registrants unconsolidated VIEs consist of:
| Energy purchase and sale agreements with VIEs for which Generation has concluded that consolidation is not required. |
| ZionSolutions, LLC asset sale agreement with EnergySolutions, Inc. and certain subsidiaries in which Generation has a variable interest but has concluded that consolidation is not required. |
| Equity investments in energy development projects and energy generating facilities for which Generation has concluded that consolidation is not required. |
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Exelon and Generation had significant unconsolidated variable interests in eight VIEs for which Exelon or Generation, as applicable, was not the primary beneficiary; including certain equity method investments and certain commercial agreements. The number of unconsolidated VIEs did not change overall, however, during the first quarter of 2014 Generation sold its ownership interest in one unconsolidated VIE and made an investment in another VIE which is unconsolidated. The following tables present summary information about Exelon and Generations significant unconsolidated VIE entities:

(a) | These items represent amounts on the unconsolidated VIE balance sheets, not on Exelons or Generations Consolidated Balance Sheets. These items are included to provide information regarding the relative size of the unconsolidated VIEs. |
(b) | These items represent amounts on Exelons and Generations Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the asset sale agreement with ZionSolutions, LLC. The net assets pledged for Zion Station decommissioning includes gross pledged assets of $429 million and $458 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively; offset by payables to ZionSolutions LLC of $385 million and $414 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These items are included to provide information regarding the relative size of the ZionSolutions LLC unconsolidated VIE. |
For each of the unconsolidated VIEs, Exelon and Generation assess the risk of a loss equal to their maximum exposure to be remote and, accordingly, Exelon and Generation have not recognized a liability associated with any portion of the maximum exposure to loss. In addition, there are no material agreements with, or commitments by, third parties that would affect the fair value or risk of their variable interests in these VIEs.
4. Regulatory Matters (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE)
Regulatory and Legislative Proceedings (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE)
Except for the matters noted below, the disclosures set forth in Note 3 Regulatory Matters of the Exelon 2013 Form 10-K appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of regulatory and legislative proceedings of the Registrants. The following is an update to that discussion.
Illinois Regulatory Matters
Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act (Exelon and ComEd). Since 2011, ComEds distribution rates are established through a performance-based rate formula, pursuant to EIMA. EIMA also provides a structure for substantial capital investment by utilities over a ten-year period to modernize Illinois electric utility infrastructure. Participating utilities are required to file an annual update to the performance-based formula rate tariff on or before May 1, with resulting rates effective in January of the following year. This annual formula rate update is based on prior year actual costs and current year projected capital additions. The update also reconciles any differences between the revenue requirement(s) in effect for the prior year and actual costs incurred for that year. ComEd records regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities and corresponding increases or decreases to operating revenues for any differences between the revenue requirement(s) in effect and ComEds best estimate of the revenue requirement expected to be approved by the ICC for that years reconciliation. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, ComEd had recorded a net regulatory asset associated with the distribution formula rate of $459 million and $463 million, respectively. The regulatory asset associated with the distribution true-up will be amortized as the associated amounts are recovered through rates.
On April 16, 2014, ComEd filed its annual distribution formula rate update with the ICC. The filing establishes the revenue requirement used to set the rates that will take effect in January 2015 after the ICCs review and approval, which is due by December 2014. The revenue requirement requested is based on 2013 actual costs plus projected 2014 capital additions as well as an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect in 2013 to the actual costs incurred that year. ComEd requested a total increase to the net revenue requirement of $275 million, reflecting an increase of $177 million for the initial revenue requirement for 2014 and an increase of $98 million related to the annual reconciliation for 2013. The initial revenue requirement for 2014 provides for a weighted average debt and equity return on distribution rate base of 7.06% inclusive of an allowed return on common equity of 9.25%, reflecting the average rate on 30-year treasury notes plus 580 basis points. The annual reconciliation for 2013 provided for a weighted average debt and equity return on distribution rate base of 7.04% inclusive of an allowed return on common equity of 9.20%, reflecting the average rate on 30-year treasury notes plus 580 basis points less a performance metrics penalty of 5 basis points.
38
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
On April 1, 2014, ComEd filed an annual progress report on its AMI Implementation Plan. On April 16, 2014, the ICC ruled that no investigation would be opened as a result of the annual filing. ComEds current approved deployment plan provides for the installation of 4 million electric smart meters by the end of 2021. On March 13, 2014, ComEd filed a petition with the ICC for approval to accelerate the deployment of AMI Meters. If approved, the deployment plan would accelerate the projected completion of installation from 2021 to 2018. ComEd has requested that the ICC approve the proposed petition in the second quarter of 2014.
Appeal of Initial Formula Rate Tariff (Exelon and ComEd). On March 26, 2014, the Illinois Appellate Court issued an opinion with respect to ComEds appeal the ICCs order relating to ComEds initial formula rate tariff. The most significant financial issues under appeal related to ICC findings that were counter to the formula rate legislation and were clarified by subsequent legislation (Senate Bill 9). Therefore, only a subset of the issues originally appealed remained. The Court found against ComEd on each of the remaining issues: compensation related adjustments, billing determinants and the use of certain allocators. The Courts opinion has no accounting impact as ComEd recorded the distribution formula regulatory asset consistent with the ICCs Final Order.
ComEd has asked the Illinois Supreme Court to hear the issue of allocation between State and Federal regulatory jurisdictions. There is no set time by which the Court must decide whether it will hear the case. ComEd cannot predict whether the Court will elect to hear the case or, if it does, the outcome of the appeal.
Advanced Metering Program Proceeding (Exelon and ComEd) As part of ComEds 2007 electric distribution rate case, the ICC approved recovery of costs associated with ComEds System Modernization Program (Rider SMP) for the limited purpose of implementing a pilot program for AMI. In October 2009, the ICC approved ComEds AMI pilot program and associated rider (Rider AMP). ComEd collected approximately $24 million under Rider AMP and had no collections under Rider SMP through March 31, 2014. In ComEds 2010 electric distribution rate case, the ICC approved ComEds transfer of certain other costs from recovery under Rider AMP to recovery through electric distribution rates.
Several parties, including the Illinois Attorney General, appealed the ICCs orders on Rider SMP and Rider AMP. The Illinois Appellate Court reversed the ICCs approval of the cost recovery provisions of Rider SMP and Rider AMP on September 30, 2010 and March 19, 2012, respectively. In both cases, the Court ruled that the ICCs approval of the rider constituted single-issue ratemaking. ComEd filed Petitions for Leave to Appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court, which were denied.
In October 2013, the ICC opened an investigation on Rider AMP to determine if a refund is required and if so, to determine the appropriate refund amount. The ALJ presiding over the investigation requested each party provide a pre-trial memorandum describing their positions, which were submitted on April 10, 2014. The ICC Staff and the Illinois Attorney General proposed a refund of $14.6 million, representing the amount they claim was collected under Rider AMP since September 30, 2010, the date the Illinois Appellate Court reversed the ICCs approval of the cost recovery provisions of Rider SMP. ComEd believes no refund is appropriate and that any refund obligation associated with Rider AMP should be prospective from no earlier than the date of the Illinois Appellate Courts order on Rider AMP, or March 19, 2012. As a result, ComEd recorded a regulatory liability of approximately $0.4 million at March 31, 2014, which represents the amounts collected from customers since March 19, 2012. ComEd cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the ICCs investigation and therefore, actual refunds, if any, may differ from the estimated liability recorded at March 31, 2014.
Pennsylvania Regulatory Matters
Pennsylvania Procurement Proceedings (Exelon and PECO). On October 12, 2012, the PAPUC issued its Opinion and Order approving PECOs second DSP Program, which was filed with the PAPUC in January 2012. The program, which has a 24-month term from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2015, complies with electric generation procurement guidelines set forth in Act 129.
39
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
In the second DSP Program, PECO is procuring electric supply for its default electric customers through five competitive procurements. The load for the residential and small and medium commercial classes is served through competitively procured fixed price, full requirements contracts of two years or less. For the large commercial and industrial class load, PECO has competitively procured contracts for full requirements default electric generation with the price for energy in each contract set to be the hourly price of the spot market during the term of delivery. In December 2012 and February 2013, PECO entered into contracts with PAPUC-approved bidders, including Generation, for its residential and small and medium commercial classes that began in June 2013. In September 2013, PECO entered into contracts with PAPUC-approved bidders, including Generation, for its residential and small and medium commercial classes that began in December 2013. In January 2014, PECO entered into contracts with PAPUC-approved bidders, including Generation, for its residential and small, medium, and large commercial classes that will begin in June 2014. Charges incurred for electric supply procured through contracts with Generation are included in purchased power from affiliates on PECOs Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
In addition, the second DSP Program includes a number of retail market enhancements recommended by the PAPUC in its previously issued Retail Markets Intermediate Work Plan Order. PECO was also directed to submit a plan to allow its low-income Customer Assistance Program (CAP) customers to purchase their generation supply from EGSs beginning April 2014. On May 1, 2013, PECO filed its CAP Shopping Plan with the PAPUC. By Order entered on January 24, 2014, the PAPUC approved PECOs plan, with modifications, to make CAP shopping available beginning April 15, 2014. On March 20, 2014, low-income advocacy groups filed an appeal and emergency request for a stay with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, claiming that the PAPUC-ordered CAP Shopping plan does not contain sufficient protections for low-income customers. On March 28, 2014, the Commonwealth Court issued the requested stay, pending a full review of the appeal. Pending the Commonwealth Courts review, PECO will not implement CAP Shopping. The Commonwealth Courts decision is expected in late 2014.
On March 10, 2014, PECO filed its third DSP Program with the PAPUC. The program has a 24-month term from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2017, and complies with electric generation procurement guidelines set forth in Act 129. A PAPUC ruling is expected in late 2014.
Smart Meter and Smart Grid Investments (Exelon and PECO). Pursuant to Act 129 and the follow-on Implementation Order of 2009, in April 2010, the PAPUC approved PECOs Smart Meter Procurement and Installation Plan (SMPIP), under which PECO will install more than 1.6 million smart meters and an AMI communication network by 2020. The first phase of PECOs SMPIP, which was completed on June 19, 2013, included the installation of an AMI communications network and the deployment of 600,000 smart meters to communicate with that network. On May 31, 2013, PECO and interested parties filed a Joint Petition for Settlement of the universal deployment plan with the PAPUC which was approved without modification on August 15, 2013. The Joint Petition for Settlement supports all material aspects of PECOs universal deployment plan, including cost recovery, excluding certain amounts discussed below. Universal deployment is the second phase of PECOs SMPIP, under which PECO will deploy the remainder of the 1.6 million smart meters on an accelerated basis by the end of 2014. In total, PECO currently expects to spend up to $595 million, excluding the cost of the original meters (as further described below), on its smart meter infrastructure and approximately $120 million on smart grid investments through 2014 of which $200 million will be funded by SGIG as discussed below. As of March 31, 2014, PECO has spent $457 million and $119 million on smart meter and smart grid infrastructure, respectively, not including the DOE reimbursements received to date.
Pursuant to the ARRA of 2009, PECO and the DOE entered into a Financial Assistance Agreement to extend PECO $200 million in non-taxable SGIG funds of which $140 million relates to smart meter deployment and $60 million relates to smart grid infrastructure. As part of the agreement, the DOE has a conditional ownership interest
40
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
in qualifying Federally-funded project property and equipment, which is subordinate to PECOs existing mortgage. The SGIG funds are being used to offset the total impact to ratepayers of the smart meter deployment required by Act 129. As of March 31, 2014, PECO has received $197 million, including $4 million for sub-recipients, of the $200 million in reimbursements. PECOs outstanding receivable from the DOE for reimbursable costs was $3 million as of March 31, 2014, which has been recorded in Other accounts receivable, net on Exelons and PECOs Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On August 15, 2012, PECO suspended installation of smart meters for new customers based on a limited number of incidents involving overheating meters. Following its own internal investigation and additional scientific analysis and testing by independent experts completed after September 30, 2012, PECO announced its decision to resume meter deployment work on October 9, 2012. PECO has replaced the previously installed meters with an alternative vendors meters. PECO is moving forward with the alternative meters during universal deployment and continues to evaluate meters from several vendors and may use more than one meter vendor during universal deployment.
Following PECOs decision, as of October 9, 2012, PECO will no longer use the original smart meters. For the meters that will no longer be used, the accounting guidance requires that any difference between the carrying value and net realizable value be recognized in the current periods earnings, before considering potential regulatory recovery. The cost of the original meters, including installation and removal costs, owned by PECO was approximately $17 million, net of approximately $16 million of reimbursements from the DOE and approximately $2 million of depreciation. PECO requested and received approval from the DOE that the original meters continue to be allowable costs and that any settlement with the vendor will not be considered project income. In addition, PECO remains eligible for the full $200 million in SGIG funds. On August 15, 2013, PECO entered into an agreement with the original vendor, which was part of the final agreement discussed below, under which PECO transferred the original uninstalled meters to the vendor and received $12 million in return. On January 23, 2014, PECO entered a final agreement with the vendor pursuant to which PECO will be reimbursed for amounts incurred for the original meters and related installation and removal costs, via cash payments and rebates on future purchases of licenses, goods and services primarily through 2017. PECO previously had intended to seek regulatory rate recovery in a future filing with the PAPUC of amounts not recovered from the vendor. As PECO believed such costs were probable of rate recovery based on applicable case law and past precedent on reasonably and prudently incurred costs, a regulatory asset was established at the time of the removals. As of December 31, 2013, $5 million was recorded on Exelons and PECOs Consolidated Balance Sheets. Pursuant to the January 23, 2014, vendor agreement, PECO reclassified the regulatory asset balance as a receivable, with no gain or loss impacts on future results of operations.
Energy Efficiency Programs (Exelon and PECO). PECOs PAPUC-approved Phase I EE&C Plan had a four-year term that began on June 1, 2009 and concluded on May 31, 2013. The Phase I Plan set forth how PECO would meet the required reduction targets established by Act 129s EE&C provisions, which included a 3% reduction in electric consumption in PECOs service territory and a 4.5% reduction in PECOs annual system peak demand in the 100 hours of highest demand by May 31, 2013.
The peak demand period ended on September 30, 2012 and PECO filed its final compliance report on Phase 1 targets with the PAPUC on November 15, 2013. On March 20, 2014, the PAPUC issued its final report stating that PECO was in full compliance with all Phase I targets.
On November 14, 2013, the PAPUC issued a Tentative Order on Act 129 demand reduction programs which seeks comments on a proposed demand response program methodology for future Act 129 demand reduction programs as well as demand response potential and wholesale prices suppression studies. In its February 20, 2014 Final Order, the PAPUC stated that it does not expect to make a decision as to whether it will prescribe additional demand response obligations until 2015. Any decision reached would affect PECOs EE&C Plan subsequent to its Phase II Plan.

On February 28, 2014, PECO filed a Petition for Approval to amend its EE&C Phase II Plan to continue its DLC demand reduction program for mass market customers from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2016. PECO proposed to fund the estimated $10 million annual costs of the program by modifying incentive levels for other Phase II programs. The costs of the DLC program will be recovered through PECOs Energy Efficiency Program Charge along with other Phase II Plan costs. In an April 23, 2014 Tentative Order, the PAPUC granted PECOs Petition. Absent any filing of opposing comments by parties, the Order will become final on May 5, 2014.
Maryland Regulatory Matters
2013 Maryland Electric and Gas Distribution Rate Case (Exelon and BGE). On May 17, 2013, BGE filed an application for increases of $101 million and $30 million to its electric and gas base rates, respectively, with the MDPSC. The requested rates of return on equity in the application were 10.50% and 10.35% for electric and gas distribution, respectively. In addition to these requested rate increases, BGEs application also included a request for recovery of incremental capital expenditures and operating costs associated with BGEs proposed short-term reliability improvement plan (the ERI initiative) in response to a MDPSC order through a surcharge separate from base rates. On August 23, 2013, BGE filed an update to its rate request which altered the requested increase to electric base rates from $101 million to $83 million and the requested increase to gas base rates from $30 million to $24 million. On December 13, 2013, the MDPSC issued an order in BGEs 2013 electric and natural gas distribution rate case for increases in annual distribution service revenue of $34 million and $12 million, respectively. The electric distribution rate increase was set using an allowed return on equity of 9.75% and the gas distribution rate increase was set using an allowed return on equity of 9.60%. The approved electric and natural gas distribution rates became effective for services rendered on or after December 13, 2013. As part of its December 13, 2013 decision granting BGE increases for its gas and electric distribution rates, the MDPSC also authorized BGE to recover through a surcharge mechanism costs associated with five ERI initiative programs designed to accelerate electric reliability improvements. Such a decision, however, was premised upon the condition that the MDPSC approve specific projects scheduled for each year of the five-year program in advance of cost recovery through the surcharge mechanism. On March 31, 2014, after reviewing comments filed by the parties and conducting a hearing on the matter, the MDPSC approved all but one project proposed for completion in 2014 as part of the ERI initiative. As a result of the MDPSCs decision, BGE estimates 2014 capital and operating and maintenance costs associated with the ERI initiative of $14.8 million and a revenue requirement of $1.4 million. The ERI initiative surcharge will become effective upon the MDPSCs approval of the revised tariff pages for the surcharge mechanism that BGE filed with the MDPSC on April 3, 2014. BGE is required to file an update on the 2014 work plan and reliability performance information for the specific projects, along with its work plan and cost estimates for 2015, on or before November 1, 2014.
Smart Meter and Smart Grid Investments (Exelon and BGE). In August 2010, the MDPSC approved a comprehensive smart grid initiative for BGE that includes the planned installation of 2 million residential and commercial electric and gas smart meters at an expected total cost of $480 million of which $200 million has been recovered through a grant from the DOE. The MDPSCs approval ordered BGE to defer the associated incremental costs, depreciation and amortization, and an appropriate return, in a regulatory asset until such time as a cost-effective advanced metering system is implemented. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, BGE recorded a regulatory asset of $78 million and $66 million, respectively, representing incremental costs, depreciation and amortization, and a debt return on fixed assets related to its AMI program. Additionally, the MDPSC has determined that the cost recovery for the non-AMI meters that BGE retires will be considered in a future depreciation proceeding. The MDPSC continues to evaluate the impacts of a customer opt-out feature in BGEs Smart Grid program. In March 2013, BGE filed a description of the overall additional costs associated with allowing customers to retain their current meter, and for radio frequency (RF)-Free and RF-Minimizing options related to the installation of their smart meters as well as a proposed cost recovery mechanism. The MDPSC held a hearing in August 2013 to consider the filings made by BGE and other Maryland electric utilities. On February 26, 2014, the MDPSC issued an Order authorizing BGE to impose a
42

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
$75 upfront fee and an $11 recurring fee to customers electing to opt-out, effective July 1, 2014. The fees authorized by the order will be reviewed after an initial 12- to 18- month period. The ultimate impact of opt-out could affect BGEs ability to demonstrate cost-effectiveness of the advanced metering system.
Overall, BGE continues to believe the recovery of smart grid initiative costs in future rates is probable as BGE expects to be able to demonstrate that the program benefits exceed costs.
The Maryland Strategic Infrastructure Development and Enhancement Program (Exelon and BGE). In February 2013, the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation intended to accelerate gas infrastructure replacements in Maryland by establishing a mechanism for gas companies to promptly recover reasonable and prudent costs of eligible infrastructure replacement projects separate from base rate proceedings. On May 2, 2013, the Governor of Maryland signed the legislation into law, which took effect June 1, 2013. Under the new law, following a proceeding before the MDPSC and with the MDPSCs approval of the eligible infrastructure replacement projects along with a corresponding surcharge, BGE could begin charging gas customers a monthly surcharge for infrastructure costs incurred after June 1, 2013. The legislation includes caps on the monthly surcharges to residential and non-residential customers, and would require an annual true-up of the surcharge revenues against actual expenditures. Investment levels in excess of the cap would be recoverable in a subsequent gas base rate proceeding at which time all costs for the infrastructure replacement projects would be rolled into gas distribution rates. Irrespective of the cap, BGE is required to file a gas rate case every five years under this legislation. On August 2, 2013, BGE filed its infrastructure replacement plan and associated surcharge. On January 29, 2014, the MDPSC issued a decision conditionally approving the first five years of BGEs plan and surcharge. On March 26, 2014, the Maryland PSC approved as filed BGEs proposed 2014 project list, tariff and associated surcharge amounts, with a surcharge that became effective April 1, 2014. BGE will defer the difference between the surcharge revenues and program costs as a regulated asset or liability, which was immaterial as of March 31, 2014.
Federal Regulatory Matters
Transmission Formula Rate (Exelon, ComEd and BGE). ComEds and BGEs transmission rates are each established based on a FERC-approved formula. ComEd and BGE record regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities and corresponding increases or decreases to operating revenues for any differences between the revenue requirement in effect and ComEds and BGEs best estimate of the revenue requirement expected to be approved by the FERC for that years reconciliation. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, ComEd had recorded a net regulatory asset associated with the transmission formula rate of $13 million and $17 million, respectively and BGE had recorded a net regulatory asset associated with the transmission formula rate of $3 million and a net regulatory liability of $0 million, respectively. The regulatory asset associated with the transmission true-up will be amortized as the associated amounts are recovered through rates.
On April 16, 2014, ComEd filed its annual formula rate update with the FERC. The filing establishes the revenue requirement used to set rates that will take effect in June 2014, subject to review by the FERC and other parties, which is due by November 2014. The revenue requirement is based on 2013 actual costs plus forecasted 2014 capital additions as well as an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect starting in June 2013 to the actual cost incurred in 2013. The update resulted in a revenue requirement of $524 million plus an $11 million adjustment related to the reconciliation of 2013 actual costs for a total revenue requirement of $535 million. This compares to the 2013 revenue requirement of $488 million plus a $25 million adjustment related to the reconciliation of 2012 actual costs for a total revenue requirement of $513 million. The increase in the revenue requirement was primarily driven by increased capital investment and higher operating and maintenance costs.
ComEds updated formula transmission rate currently provides for a weighted average debt and equity return on transmission rate base of 8.62%, inclusive of an allowed return on common equity of 11.50%, a
43

decrease from the 8.70% average debt and equity return previously authorized. As part of the FERC-approved settlement of ComEds 2007 transmission rate case, the rate of return on common equity is 11.50% and the common equity component of the ratio used to calculate the weighted average debt and equity return for the transmission formula rate is currently capped at 55%.
On April 28, 2014, BGE filed its annual formula rate update with the FERC. The filings established the revenue requirement used to set rates that will take effect in June 2014 subject to FERCs and other parties review which is due by October 2014. The revenue requirement is based on 2013 actual costs plus forecasted 2014 capital additions as well as an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect starting in June 2013 to the actual cost incurred in 2013. The update resulted in a revenue requirement of $167 million plus a $4 million adjustment related to the reconciliation of 2013 actual costs for a net revenue requirement of $171 million. This compares to the 2013 revenue requirement of $158 million offset by a $1 million reduction related to the reconciliation of 2012 actual costs for a net revenue requirement of $157 million. The increase in the revenue requirement is primarily driven by higher depreciation expense and an increased level of return on investment associated with a higher equity ratio and increased rate base.
BGEs updated formula transmission rate currently provides for a weighted average debt and equity return on transmission rate base of 8.53%, an increase from the 8.35% average debt and equity return previously authorized. As part of the FERC-approved settlement of BGEs 2005 transmission rate case in 2006, the rate of return on common equity for BGEs electric transmission business for new transmission projects placed in service on and after January 1, 2006 is 11.3%, inclusive of a 50 basis point incentive for participating in PJM.
PJM Minimum Offer Price Rule (Exelon and Generation). PJMs capacity market rules include a Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR) that is intended to preclude sellers from artificially suppressing the competitive price signals for generation capacity. The FERC orders approving the MOPR were upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in February 2014.
Exelon continues to work with PJM stakeholders and through the FERC process to implement several proposed changes to the PJM tariff aimed at ensuring that capacity resources (including those with state-sanctioned subsidy contracts, excessive imported capacity resources, capacity market speculators and certain limited availability demand response resources) cannot inappropriately affect capacity auction prices in PJM.
License Renewals (Exelon and Generation). On June 22, 2011, Generation submitted applications to the NRC to extend the operating licenses of Limerick Units 1 and 2 by 20 years. The current operating licenses for Limerick Units 1 and 2 expire in 2024 and 2029, respectively. In June 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit vacated the NRCs temporary storage rule on the grounds that the NRC should have conducted a more comprehensive environmental review to support the rule. The temporary storage rule (also referred to as the waste confidence decision) recognizes that licensees can safely store spent nuclear fuel at nuclear plants for up to 60 years beyond the original and renewed licensed operating life of the plants and that licensing renewal decisions do not require discussion of the environmental impact of spent fuel stored on site. In August 2012, the NRC placed a hold on issuing new or renewed operating licenses that depend on the temporary storage rule until the courts decision is addressed. In September 2012, the NRC directed NRC Staff to revise the temporary storage rule which is now not expected until October 3, 2014. Generation does not expect the NRC to issue license renewals until the end of 2014, at the earliest.
On May 29, 2013, Generation submitted applications to the NRC to extend the operating licenses of Byron Units 1 and 2 and Braidwood Units 1 and 2 by 20 years. The current operating licenses for Byron Units 1 and 2 expire in 2024 and 2026, respectively. The current operating licenses for Braidwood Units 1 and 2 expire in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Generation does not expect the NRC to issue license renewals for Byron and Braidwood until 2015 at the earliest.

On August 29, 2012 and August 30, 2012, Generation submitted hydroelectric license applications to the FERC for 46-year licenses for the Conowingo Hydroelectric Project (Conowingo) and the Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility Project (Muddy Run), respectively.
The FERC extended the deadline to January 31, 2014 to file a water quality certification application pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) with the MDE for Conowingo. Generation is working with stakeholders to resolve licensing issues, including: (1) water quality, (2) fish passage and habitat, and (3) sediment. On January 30, 2014, Exelon filed a water quality certification application pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA with MDE for Conowingo, addressing these and other issues, although Generation cannot currently predict the conditions that ultimately may be imposed. Resolution of these issues relating to Conowingo may have a material effect on Generations results of operations and financial position through an increase in capital expenditures and operating costs.
On August 29, 2013, Exelon filed a water quality certification application pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA with PA DEP for Muddy Run, addressing these and other issues that included certain commitments made by Generation. The financial impact associated with these commitments is estimated to be in the range of $20 million to $30 million, and will include both an increase in capital expenditures as well as an increase in operating expenses. Exelon anticipates that the PA DEP will issue the water quality certification pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA for Muddy Run in the second quarter of 2014.
Based on the latest FERC procedural schedule, the FERC licensing process is not expected to be completed prior to the expiration of Muddy Runs current license on August 31, 2014, and the expiration of Conowingos license on September 1, 2014. However, the stations would continue to operate under annual licenses until FERC takes action on the 46-year license applications. The stations are currently being depreciated over their useful lives, which includes the license renewal period. As of March 31, 2014, $34 million of direct costs associated with licensing efforts have been capitalized.
Regulatory Assets and Liabilities (Exelon, ComEd, PECO and BGE)
Exelon, ComEd, PECO and BGE each prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for certain types of regulation. Under this guidance, regulatory assets represent incurred costs that have been deferred because of their probable future recovery from customers through regulated rates. Regulatory liabilities represent the excess recovery of costs or accrued credits that have been deferred because it is probable such amounts will be returned to customers through future regulated rates or represent billings in advance of expenditures for approved regulatory programs.
