Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On August 2, 2011, FirstEnergy Corp. issued two public documents, which are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference. FirstEnergy's Press Release and Consolidated Report to the Financial Community contain non-GAAP* financial measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, FirstEnergy has provided quantitative reconciliations within the Press Release and Consolidated Report to the Financial Community of the non-GAAP* financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Press Release and Consolidated Report to the Financial Community contain references to non-GAAP* financial measures including, among others, normalized earnings per share, which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP because they exclude the impact of "special items." Special items reflect the impact on earnings of events that are not routine or that may be related to discontinued businesses. Management believes presenting normalized earnings calculated in this manner provides useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of FirstEnergy's businesses and assists investors in comparing FirstEnergy’s operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the energy sector. Management believes presenting this non-GAAP* measure provides useful information to investors in assessing FirstEnergy's normalized operating performance. FirstEnergy's management frequently references this non-GAAP* financial measure in its decision-making, using it to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons as well as comparisons to the performance of peer companies.

The non-GAAP* information presented in the Press Release and Consolidated Report to the Financial Community should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Also, the non-GAAP* financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

99.1	Press release issued by FirstEnergy Corp., dated August 2, 2011
99.2	Consolidated Report to the Financial Community, dated August 2, 2011

*This Form 8-K contains non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustment that has the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements:  This Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements based on information currently available to management. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. These statements include declarations regarding management’s intents, beliefs and current expectations. These statements typically contain, but are not limited to, the terms “anticipate,” “potential,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate” and similar words. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially due to: the speed and nature of increased competition in the electric utility industry, the impact of the regulatory process on the pending matters in the various states in which we do business including, but not limited to, matters related to rates, the status of the PATH project in light of PJM's direction to suspend work on the project pending review of its planning process, its re-evaluation of the need for the project and the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of any related capital expenditures, business and regulatory impacts from ATSI’s realignment into PJM Interconnection, L.L.C, economic or weather conditions affecting future sales and margins, changes in markets for energy services, changing energy and commodity market prices and availability, financial derivative reforms that could increase our liquidity needs and collateral costs, the continued ability of FirstEnergy’s regulated utilities to collect transition and other costs, operation and maintenance costs being higher than anticipated, other legislative and regulatory changes, and revised environmental requirements, including possible GHG emission, water intake and coal combustion residual regulations, the potential impacts of any laws, rules or regulations that ultimately replace CAIR including the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) and the effects of the EPA’s recently released MACT proposal to establish certain mercury and other emission standards for electric generating units, the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of the capital expenditures that may arise in connection with any NSR litigation or potential regulatory initiatives or rulemakings (including that such expenditures could result in our decision to shut down or idle certain generating units), adverse regulatory or legal decisions and outcomes with respect to our nuclear operations (including, but not limited to, the revocation or non-renewal of necessary licenses, approvals or operating permits by the NRC, including as a result of the incident at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant), adverse legal decisions and outcomes related to Met-Ed’s and Penelec’s ability to recover certain transmission costs through their transmission service charge riders, the continuing availability of generating units and changes in their ability to operate at or near full capacity, replacement power costs being higher than anticipated or inadequately hedged, the ability to comply with applicable state and federal reliability standards and energy efficiency mandates, changes in customers’ demand for power, including but not limited to, changes resulting from the implementation of state and federal energy efficiency mandates, the ability to accomplish or realize anticipated benefits from strategic goals, efforts, and our ability to improve electric commodity margins and the impact of, among other factors, the increased cost of coal and coal transportation on such margins, the ability to experience growth in the distribution business, the changing market conditions that could affect the value of assets held in FirstEnergy’s nuclear decommissioning trusts, pension trusts and other trust funds, and cause FirstEnergy to make additional contributions sooner, or in amounts that are larger than currently anticipated, the ability to access the public securities and other capital and credit markets in accordance with FirstEnergy’s financing plan, the cost of such capital and overall condition of the capital and credit markets affecting FirstEnergy and its subsidiaries, changes in general economic conditions affecting FirstEnergy and its subsidiaries, interest rates and any actions taken by credit rating agencies that could negatively affect FirstEnergy’s and its subsidiaries’ access to financing or their costs and increase requirements to post additional collateral to support outstanding commodity positions, LOCs and other financial guarantees, the continuing uncertainty of the national and regional economy and its impact on the major industrial and commercial customers of FirstEnergy’s subsidiaries, issues concerning the soundness of financial institutions and counterparties with which FirstEnergy and its subsidiaries do business, issues arising from the recently completed merger of FirstEnergy and Allegheny Energy, Inc. and the ongoing coordination of their combined operations including FirstEnergy’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers, as well as the ability to successfully integrate the businesses and realize cost savings and any other synergies and the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company or its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies expect, the risks and other factors discussed from time to time in FirstEnergy’s and its applicable subsidiaries’ SEC filings, and other similar factors. Dividends declared from time to time on FirstEnergy's common stock during any annual period may in aggregate vary from the indicated amount due to circumstances considered by FirstEnergy's Board of Directors at the time of the actual declarations. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. The foregoing review of factors should not be construed as exhaustive. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor assess the impact of any such factor on FirstEnergy’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. The Registrant expressly disclaims any current intention to update any forward-looking statements contained herein as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

FirstEnergy Announces Second Quarter 2011 Earnings

Narrows 2011 Guidance to Upper End of Previous Range

Akron, Ohio – FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) today announced second quarter 2011 basic earnings of $0.65 per share of common stock ($0.64 diluted) on a non-GAAP* basis.  These results exclude the impact of special items listed below.  This compares to basic and diluted non-GAAP earnings of $0.82 per share in the second quarter of 2010.

On a GAAP basis, second quarter 2011 basic and diluted earnings were $0.43 per share of common stock on net income of $171 million and revenue of $4.1 billion.  Second quarter 2010 basic and diluted GAAP earnings were $0.87 per share on net income of $256 million, with revenue of $3.1 billion.

“These results are in line with our expectations, and today we are narrowing our 2011 non-GAAP earnings guidance to the upper end of the previous range – to $3.30 to $3.50 per share, from $3.20 to $3.50 per share,” said FirstEnergy President and Chief Executive Officer Anthony J. Alexander.  “We have already made significant progress in realizing benefits from the merger with Allegheny Energy, and we remain confident that we will achieve our 2011 merger targets.”

Litigation Resolution	0.05	(0.01)	0.06	(0.01)
Basic Earnings Per Share (Non-GAAP*)	$0.65	$0.82	$1.33	$1.63

Second quarter 2011 non-GAAP* results benefited from the net accretion from the Allegheny merger, including the impact of shares issued in the merger.  Results were negatively affected by higher maintenance costs for the generation fleet (principally nuclear refueling outage costs), lower commodity margin from FirstEnergy Solutions resulting from unplanned generating unit outages, higher financing costs, and the absence of favorable tax settlements that were achieved last year.

Distribution deliveries, excluding Allegheny Energy deliveries, decreased 1 percent in the quarter.  Usage by industrial customers decreased less than 1 percent, as higher usage in the steel sector was offset by decreased demand in the automotive and refinery industries.  Residential sales decreased slightly, and commercial deliveries decreased 2 percent.

Commodity margins for FirstEnergy Solutions decreased compared to the second quarter of 2010, as higher competitive generation sales were offset by increases in transmission expense, higher purchased power costs, and lower wholesale sales.

For the first six months of 2011, net income was $216 million, or basic and diluted earnings of $0.61 per share of common stock, on revenue of $7.6 billion.  This compares to first-half 2010 net income of $405 million, or basic earnings of $1.38 per share of common stock ($1.37 diluted), on revenue of $6.4 billion.

(a) Contract Generation Sales – FirstEnergy Solutions Corp.’s (FES) contract generation sales increased by 756,000 MWH, or 4%, and increased earnings by $0.12 per share.  FES continues to successfully execute its retail strategy by gaining new customers in recently opened markets in Pennsylvania following the expiration of Provider of Last Resort (POLR) obligations in December 2010.   FES retail sales also grew significantly in all other markets it serves, particularly in northern, central and southern Ohio.

FES Contract Generation Sales - 2Q11 vs. 2Q10

	Direct	Aggr.	Mass Market	POLR	Structured	Total
Contract Generation Sales Increase / (Decrease)	4,543	1,069	186	(4,594)	(448)	756

(b)  Wholesale Sales – FES wholesale electricity sales decreased by 713,000 MWH, or 64% and decreased earnings by $0.06 per share.

(c)  PJM Capacity, FRR Auction – Higher capacity revenues increased earnings by $0.05 per share, primarily due to FES receiving capacity revenues in June 2011 in connection with transitioning the ATSI zone from MISO to PJM.

(d)  REC Sales – Net REC activity increased earnings by $0.01 per share due to increased sales of RECs partially offset by increased costs imposed by renewable obligation requirements.

Consolidated Report to the Financial Community - 2nd Quarter 2011     2

(e)  Fuel Expenses – FES generation output for the quarter decreased by approximately 1.8 million MWH, or 10%.  The reduction in output was associated with planned and unplanned outages at the fossil plants.  Lower fuel expenses increased earnings by $0.04 per share.

Generation Output - 2Q11 vs. 2Q10
(thousand MWH)	Fossil	Nuclear	Total
Generation Output Increase / (Decrease)	(2,069)	232	(1,837)

(f)  Purchased Power – Power purchases increased by 1.7 million MWH or 70%.  Higher purchases in the spot market resulted primarily from increased contract generation sales and lower generation output from the fossil plants.   Higher purchased power costs reduced earnings by $0.07 per share.

FES - Purchased Power - 2Q11 vs. 2Q10
(thousand MWH)	Bilaterals	Spot	Total
Purchased Power Increase / (Decrease)	(157)	1,869	1,712

(g)  Capacity Expenses – Higher capacity expense decreased earnings by $0.05 per share as a result of FES serving more retail load.

 (h) Net MISO-PJM Transmission Expenses – FES net MISO-PJM transmission costs decreased earnings by $0.08 per share due primarily to higher congestion, network, and transmission line loss expense in PJM.

●   Higher O&M expenses reduced earnings by $0.07 per share.

(a)  Nuclear O&M – Higher nuclear O&M expenses reduced earnings by $0.05 per share, primarily due to refueling outages at the Perry Plant (50 days) and Beaver Valley Unit 2 (11 days) as compared to the second quarter of 2010 when Davis-Besse was off-line to complete the modifications on the nozzles on the reactor vessel head.  The costs of the Davis-Besse extended outage were mostly capital-related.

(b)  Fossil O&M – Increased planned and unplanned outages at both supercritical and sub-critical fossil units reduced earnings by $0.03 per share.

(c)  Energy Delivery O&M – Continued cost reductions in the Energy Delivery segment increased earnings by $0.01 per share.

Consolidated Report to the Financial Community - 2nd Quarter 2011     3

●   Higher depreciation expense decreased earnings by $0.01 per share, primarily due to the placement of the Sammis Air Quality Control  projects in-service at the end of 2010, partially offset by the absence of depreciation expense associated with the Burger and Lake Plants, which were retired and impaired, respectively, in the second half of 2010.

●   Higher general taxes decreased earnings by $0.02 per share, primarily due to favorable tax settlements that reduced expenses in the second quarter of 2010.

●   Financing costs decreased earnings by $0.04 per share.  Lower capitalized interest decreased earnings by $0.03 per share, while higher interest expense reduced earnings by $0.01 per share.

●   The increase in shares outstanding, resulting from the merger with Allegheny Energy, reduced earnings by $0.22 per share.

●   The Allegheny Companies contributed $0.20 per share in earnings during the second quarter of 2011.

    ● The impact of purchase accounting associated with the merger with Allegheny Energy contributed $0.04 per share in earnings during the second quarter of 2011.

    ● Earnings were reduced by $0.02 per share due to the absence this year of favorable tax settlements achieved in the second quarter of 2010.

    ● The following special items were recognized during the second quarter of 2011:

Special Items		EPS
Regulatory Charges		($0.01)

Merger Benefits

Management believes the company is on track to achieve the 2011 merger benefits target resulting from the merger with Allegheny Energy.  Through June 2011, the company has taken actions and completed savings initiatives that are expected to allow the company to capture merger benefits of approximately $132 million pre-tax on an annual basis, or 63% of the $210 million annual target.   The $132 million realized from savings initiatives completed through June, along with the impact of initiatives still underway, will be reflected in earnings throughout 2011.

2011 Earnings Guidance

Normalized non-GAAP* earnings guidance for 2011, excluding special items, has been revised to  $3.30 - $3.50 per basic share from our previous non-GAAP* guidance of $3.20 to $3.50 per share.  The revised guidance implies estimated earnings for the second half of 2011 of $1.94 to $2.14 per share.  Earnings for the remainder of the year, exclusive of any special items, are expected to be allocated approximately 60% to the third quarter and 40% to the fourth quarter.

RecentDevelopments

Financial Matters

Dividend

On July 19, 2011, the FirstEnergy Corp. (FirstEnergy or FE) Board of Directors declared an unchanged dividend of $0.55 per share of outstanding common stock. The dividend is payable September 1, 2011 to shareholders of record as of August 5, 2011.

Financing Activities

On April 29, 2011, Metropolitan Edison Company (Met-Ed) redeemed $13.69 million of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds (PCRBs) at par value.

On May 4, 2011, Allegheny Energy Inc. (AE Inc.) terminated its $250 million credit facility due to other available funding sources following completion of the merger with FE.

On June 1, 2011, FirstEnergy Generation Corp. (FGCO) repurchased $40 million of PCRBs and is holding these bonds for future remarketing or refinancing.

On June 17, 2011, FE and certain of its subsidiaries entered into $4.5 billion of 5-year revolving credit facilities. These facilities consist of a $2 billion 5-year revolving credit facility for FE and its regulated entities and a $2.5 billion 5-year revolving credit facility for FirstEnergy Solutions and Allegheny Energy Supply (AE Supply). As a result of the new facilities, FE’s $2.75 billion facility, AE Supply’s $1 billion facility, Monongahela Power Company’s $150 million facility, The Potomac Edison Company’s $150 million facility, and West Penn Power Company’s $200 million facility, were terminated.

On July 25, 2011, AE Supply redeemed at par $15.4 million of PCRBs.

On July 29, 2011, FGCO and FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation Corp. (NGC) provided notice to the trustee for $317 million of PCRBs and of termination of supporting letters of credit. As a result, the PCRBs will be subject to mandatory purchase on September 1, 2011. Subject to market conditions and other considerations, FGCO and NGC currently expect to hold these bonds for future remarketing or refinancing.

Regulatory Matters

Marginal Transmission Loss Recovery

On March 3, 2010, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PPUC) issued an order denying Met-Ed’s and Pennsylvania Electric Company’s (Penelec) ability to recover marginal transmission losses through the transmission service charge riders in their respective tariffs which applies to the periods including June 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010. Subsequently, Met-Ed and Penelec (Companies) filed a Petition for Review with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (Commonwealth Court) appealing the PPUC’s order. On June 14, 2011, the Commonwealth Court affirmed the PPUC’s decision that marginal transmission losses are not recoverable as transmission costs. On July 13, 2011, the Companies filed a federal complaint with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and on the following day filed a Petition for Allowance of Appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The Companies believe the Commonwealth Court’s decision contradicts federal law and is inconsistent with prior PPUC and court decisions and therefore expect to fully recover the related regulatory assets ($189 million for Met-Ed and $65 million for Penelec). In January 2011 and continuing for 29 months, pursuant to a related PPUC order, the Companies began crediting customers for the amounts at issue pending outcome of the court appeals. The effect of the credits is included in FE’s estimated cash from operating activities.

 Litigation

On July 11, 2011, FE was found to be a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), indirectly liable for a portion of past and future clean-up costs of certain manufactured gas plant sites in New York. As a result, FE recognized an additional expense of $29 million during the second quarter of 2011; $30 million had previously been reserved prior to 2011.

Operational Matters

New Nuclear Emergency Operations Facilities

In June 2011, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) broke ground for new Emergency Operations Facilities for the Beaver Valley Power Station and Perry Nuclear Power Plant (Perry Plant). Each of the 12,000 square-foot facilities will house activities related to maintaining public health and safety during the unlikely event of an emergency at the plant and allow for improved coordination between the plant, state and local emergency management agencies. FENOC is expected to break ground for a similar facility for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in August 2011.

Perry Plant Returns to Service after Refueling

On June 7, 2011, the Perry Plant (1,268 MW) returned to service following a scheduled shutdown for refueling and maintenance which began on April 18, 2011. During the outage, 248 of the 748 fuel assemblies were replaced and safety inspections were successfully conducted. Additionally, numerous preventative maintenance activities and improvement projects were completed that we believe will result in continued safe and reliable operations, including replacement of several control rod blades, rewind of the generator, and routine work on more than 150 valves, pumps and motors.

American Transmission Systems, Incorporated (ATSI) Integrated into PJM Interconnection (PJM)

On June 1, 2011, ATSI successfully integrated into PJM. With this transition, all of FE’s generation, transmission and distribution facilities are now in PJM.

Fremont Energy Center

On July 28, 2011, FE closed on the previously announced sale of Fremont Energy Center to American Municipal Power, Inc. for $510 million based on 685 MW of output. The purchase price can be incrementally increased, not to exceed an additional $16 million, to reflect additional transmission export capacity up to 707 MW. The proceeds are expected to be used to reduce FE’s net debt position.

TrAIL Update

On May 19, 2011, TrAILCo’s new 500-kilovolt transmission line, spanning more than 150 miles from southwestern Pennsylvania through West Virginia to northern Virginia, was completed and fully energized.
