Why PJM? Presentation to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Kathryn L. Patton, Sr. Vice President and General Counsel June 26, 2002
Operational Reasons For IP Joining PJM • IP has 345 kV Interconnections with 4 Utilities: Ameren, AEP, ComEd and TVA • Imports for Native Load: • 50% of Imports for Illinois Power’s Native Load Came from ComEd and AEP • Exports: • 60% of Exports were Delivered to the ComEd and AEP Systems • 19% of Exports from IP System Served Load in PJM • 25% of Exports from IP system Served Load in ComEd and AEP Service Territories

Customer Value of PJM Membership • Liquid and Competitive Market • Access to Diverse Supply from Historic Supply Sources • Encourages New Generation • Promotes Retail Access • Lower Administration Charges in Long Term • Timing of Start-Up Much Sooner • Transmission Service By End of 2002 • Full LMP/Market Implementation by End of 2003
Other Benefits to IP of Joining PJM • Transparent and Robust Market • Experienced Operator • Has Been Up and Running for a Number of Years • Already Worked through Start-Up Problems • Efficient Stakeholder Process • All Transmission Owners Offer Retail Choice • Rate Design Doesn’t Shift Costs to Others • Results in Greater Opportunity to Recover Transmission Revenue Requirement • Quick Start-Up
Why Not MISO? • Strands Illinois Power: • IPs Only Strong Interconnection With MISO Is Ameren, and Ameren Has No ATC Either Into or Out of IP For This Summer • Historic Supply Is Not Sourced From Ameren • Generation Exports Don’t Serve Ameren • Inefficient Stakeholder Process • Few Transmission Owners Offer Retail Choice • Rate Design Results in Cost Shift and Traps Generation in MISO (discouraging new generation) • Market Start-Up Delayed Until Late 2004/Early 2005
Why Not MISO? • Inexperienced Operator • Numerous Start-up Problems • Inaccurate ATC • OASIS Frequently Down • Slow Response to Service Requests • Slow Response to Customer Inquiries • Over 55 FERC Tariff Change Filings in Last 1 ½ Years • Killed Liquidity at Cinergy Hub, which was One of the Most Liquid Trading Points in Industry • Degradation of Service from Pre-MISO
Illinois Power’s Commitment • Illinois Power is Fully Committed to Joining PJM • Will Join as a Transmission Owner, or • Part of Independent Transmission Company • Illinois Power Does Not Intend to Spend Any More Money Toward Start-Up of an RTO Until FERC Issues a Final and Unequivocal Order. • Illinois Power Already Spent $6.5 million to Leave MISO and $7.5 million to Develop ARTO. Annual Net Income for Transmission is Only ~ $7.9 Million/Year.
