Section 7 – Regulation FD

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 7, 2007, PECO Energy Company (PECO), a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (Exelon), announced via press release, programs that PECO is prepared to implement to address critical energy policy including energy efficiency, demand-side management, smart-meter technology and time-of-use rates. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

PECO also disclosed its current post-transition projection of an increase of 15% to 20% for PECO average electric rates in 2011. The projection is based upon elimination of the competitive transition charge, continuation of current Transmission and Distribution Rates, a forecast of the around the clock energy price using market price projections for 2011, and adjustments required for a full requirements product including capacity, load shaping, ancillary services, line losses, and gross receipts taxes. Individual customer rates for 2011 will vary by customer class and for customers within a class, and will depend upon various factors, including potential procurement legislation and the approved procurement model as well as changes in rate design and potential carbon legislation.

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the attached exhibit are provided under Items 7.01 and 9.01 of Form 8-K and are furnished to, but not filed with, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
