INTEGRATION INFORMATION

Ron and Steve answer your questions

In this issue of IN, we’re pleased to report the first regulatory approval of the Exelon-Constellation merger. Yesterday, we received approval from the Public Utility Commission of Texas, a key step toward completing the merger.

We remain on track to complete our transaction in the first quarter of 2012. Although much work still lies ahead to ensure the smooth integration of our companies, we are extremely pleased with the progress and collaboration we’ve seen across both companies. Our teams continue to “build the facts” that will guide us in the design phase, which begins in early September.

Thank you for your continued support.

 

 

Ron DeGregorio Chief Integration Officer, Exelon

Chief Integration Officer,

Constellation Energy

 

Rules of the Road

While Exelon and Constellation work to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and to close the transaction, the companies must operate as entirely separate businesses. Employees must treat one another as competitors in our day-to-day work. This means we cannot directly exchange competitively sensitive information, and must be careful not to do anything that lessens competition between the companies or that would lessen either entity’s ability to compete were the transaction not to close. This is an important and sometimes complicated topic. If you have any questions, please discuss with your supervisor or legal counsel before action is taken.

CPG History

A growing portfolio focused on safety and the environment

Constellation Power Generation (CPG) has a long history of safe, environmentally aware power generation. CPG’s roots reach back to 1906 when the predecessor of the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) built and began operating its first electric plant in the Baltimore area. Nearly 100 years later, with the onset of electric deregulation in Maryland, these BGE owned power plants were transferred to an unregulated affiliate under the newly-formed Constellation Energy Group.

In 2003, the portfolio expanded further when Qualifying Facility (QF) plants across the US were added, and CPG was formed. The QF plants had been part of Constellation Power, Inc (CPI) and Constellation Operating Services Inc (COSI), stand alone businesses that provided partnership ownership and operation of plants.

CPG’s current growing portfolio of natural gas, coal and oil, hydro, solar, biomass and wind features a balanced mix of generation: 32 generating facilities in seven U.S. states and Canada with a total installed capacity of 13,160 megawatts. CPG’s more than 1,000 plant and support employees operate under a strong safety culture and a commitment to environmental stewardship.

Utility Merger Integration Team: Sharing the Knowledge

Team co-leads John Borkoski, BGE and Charlie White, PECO, use the words “collaborative, knowledgeable and committed” to describe the employees from BGE, ComEd and PECO who make up the Utility Merger Integration Team. The team of 18, which rotates meetings between Baltimore, Chicago and Philadelphia, is midway through the analysis phase of the project, collecting information about how each company operates in areas such as safety, reliability and customer service.

“This has been an incredible learning experience,” said Borkoski. ‘We’ve come to realize that we have more similarities than differences in the way we approach and operate our businesses. It reinforces that our companies are already compatible, but that we still have the opportunity to learn from each other.”

While each company will maintain local management, decision-making and identities after the merger, the team is focused on opportunities for standardization of processes and management systems where it makes sense. The team’s overall objectives include assessing each utility’s operational practices and performance levels and identifying opportunities for sharing best practices for continued improvement.

To ensure emphasis on key areas, sub-teams have been formed, each responsible for reviewing specific functions, processes and components of the business. The Customer Service, Electric, Gas, Government & Regulatory Affairs, and Utility Services sub-teams include a member from each utility.

“The breakout of sub-teams is helping us greatly as we continue to gather data and share best practices,” said White. “There is tremendous knowledge throughout the companies, so we’re also reaching beyond the team to other subject matter experts in BGE, ComEd, and PECO for support.”

The team’s work is proceeding on schedule despite the challenge of recent severe storms and record-breaking heat affecting all three utilities. The team is also committed to minimizing any disruptions to the organizations during integration activities to ensure safe and reliable operations.
