________________________
(a)
Generation also owns a proportionate share in the fossil fuel combustion turbine at Salem, which is fully depreciated. The gross book value was $3 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
(b)
PECO and BGE own a 22% and 7% share, respectively, in 127 miles of 500kV lines located in Pennsylvania; PECO and BGE also own a 20.7% and 10.56% share, respectively, of a 500kV substation immediately outside of the Conemaugh fossil generating station which supplies power to the 500kV lines including, but not limited to, the lines noted above.
(c)
PECO owns a 42.55% share in 131 miles of 500kV lines located in Delaware and New Jersey as well as a 42.55% share in a 500kV substation immediately outside of the Salem nuclear generating station in New Jersey which supplies power to the 500kV lines including, but not limited to, the lines noted above.
(d)
Generation has a 44.24% ownership interest in assets located at Merrill Creek Reservoir located in New Jersey.
(e)

(f)
As of December 31, 2014, Generation sold its ownership interest in Keystone and Conemaugh. At December 31, 2013, Generation held 41.98% and 31.28% ownership interest in Keystone and Conemaugh, respectively. See Note 4Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions for additional information.
(g)
On April 1, 2014, Generation assumed operational control of CENG's nuclear fleet, and as of that date, CENG’s operations are consolidated into Generation’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2013, Generation’s ownership interest in CENG, including Nine Mile Point, was treated as an equity method investment, and thus did not represent an undivided Interest. See Note 5 - Investment in Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC for additional information.

Exelon’s, Generation’s, PECO’s and BGE’s undivided ownership interests are financed with their funds and all operations are accounted for as if such participating interests were wholly owned facilities. Exelon’s, Generation’s, PECO’s and BGE’s share of direct expenses of the jointly owned plants are included in Purchased power and fuel and Operating and maintenance expenses on Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and in Operating and maintenance expenses on PECO’s and BGE’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
