Why ComEd Belongs in PJM Presentation to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Elizabeth A. Moler Senior VP, Government Affairs & Policy Exelon Corporation June 26, 2002
Why ComEd Chose PJM • Reliability • Strength of transmission interconnections • Ability to import energy in emergencies • PJM, with AEP, is the natural market for generation connected to ComEd’s system • ComEd has retail access; PJM market structure supports retail access

PJM States “Look Like” Illinois • Like Illinois, all PJM states are unbundled and have retail choice • Joining PJM will bring energy market to ComEd earlier than MISO • PJM market structure designed to support retail choice; will enhance Illinois’ restructuring • Like Illinois, PJM States have large industrial base • Industrial customers are shopping; need PJM market structure
