This presentation includes forward-looking statements.  There are a number of risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein.  The
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include
Exelon’s ability to achieve the full additional capacity contemplated by the proposed uprates, the
availability of required components and raw materials, and the timing to complete the proposed uprates
and obtain required regulatory approvals as well as those discussed in (1) Exelon’s 2008 Annual Report
on Form 10-K in (a) ITEM 1A. Risk Factors, (b) ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation and (c) ITEM 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data: Note 18;  (2) Exelon’s First Quarter 2009 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in (a) Part II, Other
Information, ITEM 1A. Risk Factors and (b) Part I, Financial Information, ITEM 1. Financial Statements:
Note 13; and (3) other factors discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission by
Exelon Corporation or Exelon Generation Company LLC (Companies).
Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this
communication.  Neither of the Companies undertakes any obligation to publicly release any revision to its

A successful 38-megawatt power uprate at Quad Cities in June 2009 launched a series
of planned power uprates across Exelon’s nuclear fleet
Uprates equivalent in size of a new nuclear plant but significantly lower cost and shorter

Dollars shown are overnight cost, cost per kW are for MUR and EPU combined


MUR (Measurement Uncertainty Recapture)
Through the use of advanced techniques and more precise
instrumentation, reactor power can be more accurately calculated.
These uprates achieve up to 1.7 percent additional output. MUR
uprates require NRC approval.

EPU (Extended Power Uprate)
Through a combination of more sophisticated analysis and upgrades to
plant equipment, uprates can be obtained for as much as 20 percent of
original licensed power level. EPU uprates require NRC approval.

Exelon has substantial experience managing successful uprate projects
1,100 MWs of increased nuclear capacity over the past 10 years
Incremental 1,300 –
1,500 MWs of nuclear uprates are safe, economical and
proven methods to improve efficiency and output
Track Record of Execution
Staggered execution provides for continued re-evaluation of project economics

Nuclear uprates span across nine plants
Exelon’s $2,200 –
2,500 / kW overnight cost for its MUR and EPU projects
is better value than the cost for a nuclear new build that has been
estimated as high as $4,500 / kW (2007 dollars)
