Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE)
Segment Information (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE)

Operating segments for each of the Registrants are determined based on information used by the chief operating decision maker(s) (CODM) in deciding how to evaluate performance and allocate resources at each of the Registrants.
Exelon has nine reportable segments, ComEd, PECO, BGE and Generation’s six power marketing reportable segments consisting of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New England, New York, ERCOT and all other power regions not considered individually significant and referred to collectively as “Other Power Regions”; which includes activities in the South, West and Canada. ComEd, PECO and BGE each represent a single reportable segment; as such, no separate segment information is provided for these Registrants. Exelon’s CODM evaluates the performance of and allocates resources to ComEd, PECO and BGE based on net income and return on equity.

The CODMs for ComEd, PECO, and BGE evaluate performance and allocate resources for their respective companies based on net income and return on equity for ComEd, PECO, and BGE each as single integrated businesses.

The foundation of Generation’s six reportable segments is based on the geographic location of its assets, and is largely representative of the footprints of an ISO / RTO and/or NERC region. Descriptions of each of Generation’s six reportable segments are as follows:

Mid-Atlantic represents operations in the eastern half of PJM, which includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, the District of Columbia and parts of North Carolina.

Midwest represents operations in the western half of PJM, which includes portions of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee, and the United States footprint of MISO excluding MISO’s Southern Region, which covers all or most of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, the remaining parts of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio not covered by PJM, and parts of Montana, Missouri and Kentucky.

New England represents the operations within ISO-NE covering the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.

New York represents operations within ISO-NY, which covers the state of New York in its entirety.

ERCOT represents operations within Electric Reliability Council of Texas, covering most of the state of Texas.

Other Power Regions not considered individually significant:

South represents operations in the FRCC, MISO’s Southern Region, and the remaining portions of the SERC not included within MISO or PJM, which includes all or most of Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and parts of Missouri, Kentucky and Texas. Generation’s South region also includes operations in the SPP, covering Kansas, Oklahoma, most of Nebraska and parts of New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Arkansas.

West represents operations in the WECC, which includes California ISO, and covers the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and parts of New Mexico, Wyoming and South Dakota.

Canada represents operations across the entire country of Canada and includes the AESO, OIESO and the Canadian portion of MISO.

The CODMs for Exelon and Generation evaluate the performance of Generation’s power marketing activities and allocate resources based on revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense. Generation believes that revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense is a useful measurement of operational performance. Revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report. Generation’s operating revenues include all sales to third parties and sales to its affiliates, ComEd, PECO and BGE. Purchased power costs include all costs associated with the procurement and supply of electricity including capacity, energy and ancillary services. Fuel expense includes the fuel costs for Generation’s owned generation and fuel costs associated with tolling agreements. Generation's other business activities, including retail and wholesale gas, investments in gas and oil exploration and production activities, proprietary trading, compressed natural gas fueling stations, energy efficiency and cogeneration projects, sales of electric and gas appliances, servicing of heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, indoor quality systems and home improvements, and investments in energy-related proprietary technology are not allocated to regions. Further, Generation’s other miscellaneous revenues, unrealized mark-to-market impact of economic hedging activities, and amortization of certain intangible assets relating to commodity contracts recorded at fair value from prior acquisitions are also not allocated to a region. Exelon and Generation do not use a measure of total assets in making decisions regarding allocating resources to or assessing the performance of these reportable segments.
An analysis and reconciliation of the Registrants’ reportable segment information to the respective information in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

 __________
(a)
Generation includes the six power marketing reportable segments shown below: Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New England, New York, ERCOT and Other Power Regions. Intersegment revenues for Generation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 include revenue from sales to PECO of $63 million and sales to BGE of $138 million in the Mid-Atlantic region, and sales to ComEd of $9 million in the Midwest. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, intersegment revenues for Generation include revenue from sales to PECO of $88 million and sales to BGE of $120 million in the Mid-Atlantic region, and sales to ComEd of $108 million in the Midwest region.
(b)
Other primarily includes Exelon’s corporate operations, shared service entities and other financing and investment activities.
(c)
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, utility taxes of $27 million and $24 million, respectively, are included in revenues and expenses for Generation. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, utility taxes of $62 million and $63 million, respectively, are included in revenues and expenses for ComEd. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, utility taxes of $35 million and $35 million, respectively, are included in revenues and expenses for PECO. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, utility taxes of $52 million and $20 million, respectively, are included in revenues and expenses for BGE.
(d)
Intersegment revenues exclude sales to unconsolidated affiliates. The intersegment profit associated with the Generation’s sale of certain products and services by and between Exelon’s segments is not eliminated in consolidation due to the recognition of intersegment profit in accordance with regulatory accounting guidance. For Exelon, these amounts are included in Operating revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
