Defined Benefit Pension and OPEB
The majority of the 2023 pension benefit cost for the Exelon-sponsored plans is calculated using an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 7.00% and a discount rate of 5.53%. The majority of the 2023 OPEB cost is calculated using an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 6.50% for funded plans and a discount rate of 5.51%.
During the first quarter of 2023, Exelon received an updated valuation of its pension and OPEB to reflect actual census data as of January 1, 2023. This valuation resulted in an increase to the pension obligation of $27 million and an increase to the OPEB obligation of $2 million. Additionally, AOCI increased by $10 million (after-tax) and regulatory assets and liabilities increased by $18 million and $1 million, respectively.
A portion of the net periodic benefit cost for all plans is capitalized within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the components of Exelon's net periodic benefit costs, prior to capitalization, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
