Auction schedule:

*After sale of Lawrenceburg

 

The 1st RPM-year spans June 2007 through May 2008, and will
cover similar one year (BGS) intervals thereafter.  Recent market
activity has shown considerable price increases for the
2007/2008 year.

PJM’s Reliability Pricing Model

RPM reflects a change in                     
market design

- More structured, forward-
looking, transparent pricing model

- Gives prospective investors in
new generating facilities more

clarity on future value of capacity

- Sends pricing signal to
encourage expansion of capacity
where needed for future market
demands

Capacity revenues, driven by RPM, provide a meaningful increase in
Power’s expected margin - $100 - $150 million for 2007 - and is anticipated
to increase in future years due to full year PJM impact and as more capacity
comes off existing contracts.
