FERC Approves Exelon - PSEG Merger

CHICAGO and NEWARK (June 30, 2005)—Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) and Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (NYSE: PEG) announced that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved their merger earlier today.

FERC determined that the Exelon/PSEG merger satisfies the public interest standard of the Federal Power Act.

“We are delighted that the Commission has acted to approve the merger expeditiously, recognizing the very real benefits that it will deliver. This is a significant milestone toward completion,” said Betsy Moler, executive vice president of government and environmental affairs and public policy at Exelon. “We look forward to reviewing the formal order as soon as it is available.”

Ed Selover, senior vice president and general counsel of PSEG, said, “We offered a substantial and comprehensive mitigation proposal, and we are gratified that the Commission recognized it as robust. This was the outcome we had hoped for and expected.”

The merger now requires the approval of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, as well as reviews by U.S. Department of Justice, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New York Public Service Commission, and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection.

Shareholders of both companies will take action on the merger in July. Exelon and PSEG expect to close the merger by the second quarter of 2006.
