Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on September 28, 2011, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation), a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon, entered into a Purchase Agreement, under which Generation agreed to purchase Antelope Valley Solar Ranch One, a 230-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) project under development in northern Los Angeles County, Calif., from First Solar, which developed and will build and operate the project. Construction has started, with the first portion of the site expected to come online in late 2012 and full operation planned for late 2013.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office finalized a loan guarantee of up to $646 million to support project financing for Antelope Valley Solar Ranch One. Advances under the loan are contingent on the satisfaction of various conditions. Finalization of the acquisition was contingent on initial funding of the loan. On April 5, 2012, AV Solar Ranch 1, LLC, the legal entity that owns the project, received the first loan advance, finalizing Generation’s ownership of the project.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is Exelon’s press release announcing receipt of the first loan advance.
