(a)		As approved by the FPSC, on January 1, 2011, PEF began collecting, subject to refund, replacement power costs related to CR3 within the fuel clause (See Note 7C in the 2010 Form 10-K). The replacement power costs to be recovered through the fuel clause during 2011 allow for full recovery of all of 2010’s and 2011’s replacement power costs. The 2011 fuel cost-recovery filing, discussed in “Fuel Cost Recovery,” anticipates full recovery of estimated 2012 replacement power costs.
