Exelon Generation today announced that it has won commitments from
electricity delivery companies Allegheny Power and PECO Energy to
provide more than 7 million megawatt-hours of generation supply
beginning on January 1, 2011, through May 31, 2013.
"The results of these solicitations underscore the long-term value
inherent in Exelon’s well-positioned generation assets,” said Kenneth W.
Cornew, President of Exelon Power Team, the company’s wholesale power
marketing division.
On June 17, 2009, Exelon Generation was awarded 17 month and 29 month
residential full requirements contracts in PECO Energy’s default service
procurement. Using PECO Energy’s residential retail generation
conversion model as posted on its procurement website, Exelon
Generation’s winning offer yields an estimate of the residential retail
generation price for PECO Energy for January 1, 2011, through May 31,
2013, of approximately $100-$102/MWh. The solicitation was the first of
six for residential and small commercial customers. Included in this
estimated retail pricing are energy, capacity, load shaping,
Pennsylvania gross receipts tax, transmission and distribution losses,
renewable energy requirements, ancillary services, and other components.
In addition to its winning offer in the PECO solicitation, Exelon
Generation was also awarded 17 month and 29 month contracts in Allegheny
Power’s recently concluded solicitation.
