GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING THE FORECAST POOL REQUIREMENT

A.	Objective Of The Forecast Pool Requirement

The Forecast Pool Requirement shall be determined for the specified Planning Periods to establish the level of Capacity Resources and ALM that will provide an acceptable level of reliability consistent with the Reliability Principles and Standards.

B.	Forecast Pool Requirement To Be Determined Annually

Eleven months in advance of each Planning Period based on the projections described in section C of this Schedule, the PJM Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Members Committee, shall establish the Forecast Pool Requirements for the Parties for such Planning Period annually before June 30. Unless otherwise agreed by the PJM Board, the Forecast Pool Requirement for such Planning Period shall be considered firm and not subject to re-determination thereafter; provided, however, that the Forecast Pool Requirement (including the ALM Factor and the installed reserve margin) shall be revised, to the extent determined necessary by the PJM Board, to reflect the addition of a new transmission owner zone to the PJM Region, with such revision to be effective on the first day of the first Interval that is at least three months after the date of such addition; and provided further that in such cases the PJM Board may in its discretion direct that the revised Forecast Pool Requirement (including the ALM Factor and the installed reserve margin) may be implemented in the added transmission owner zone effective upon the date of its integration into the PJM Region, notwithstanding that such revised Forecast Pool Requirement otherwise shall take effect in the remainder of the PJM Region at a later time in accordance with the foregoing proviso.

C.	Methodology

Each year, the Forecast Pool Requirement for at least each of the next five Planning Periods shall be projected by applying suitable probability methods to the data and forecasts provided by the Parties and obtained from Electric Distributors, as described in Schedule 15, the Amended Operating Agreement and in the PJM Manuals. The projection of the Forecast Pool Requirements shall consider the following data and forecasts as necessary.

Seasonal peak load forecasts for each Planning Period as provided by each Party reflecting (a) load forecasts with a 50 percent probability of being too high or too low, (b) summer peak diversities determined by the Office of the Interconnection from recent experience and (c) ALM as determined pursuant to Schedule 5.2 and in accordance with the PJM Manuals.

SCHEDULE 4.1

DETERMINATION OF THE FORECAST POOL REQUIREMENT

Based on the guidelines set forth in Schedule 4, the Forecast Pool Requirement shall be determined as set forth in this Schedule 4.1 on an unforced capacity basis.

A.	The installed capacity requirement (“ICR”) shall be determined as:

ICR = (FAP - FALC) * (1 + IRM)

Where:


FAP	=	the forecast accounting peak for the PJM Region, which shall be the weather-normalized, 50/50 probability load prior to ALM being invoked

FALC	=	the forecast of the ALM credit adjustment for the PJM Region

IRM	=	the installed reserve margin approved by the PJM Board, upon the recommendation of the Reliability Committee, for that Planning Period

B.	The PJM Region equivalent demand forced outage rate (“EFORD”) shall be determined as the capacity weighted EFORD for all units expected to serve loads within the PJM Region as determined pursuant to Schedule 5.1.

C.	The PJM Region unforced capacity requirement (UCR”) shall be determined as:

UCR = ICR * (1 -EFOR_D).

D.	The PJM Region Forecast Pool Requirement (“FPR”) in percent shall be determined as:

FPR = [UCR/(FAP-FALC)] * 100.

SCHEDULE 5.1

FORCED OUTAGE RATE CALCULATION

A.	The equivalent demand forced outage rate (“EFOR_D”) shall be calculated as follows:

EFOR_D (%) = {(f_f * FOH + f_p * EFPOH) / (SH + f_f * FOH)} * 100

Where

f_f = full outage factor

f_p = partial outage factor

FOH = full forced outage hours

EFPOH = equivalent forced partial outage hours

SH = service hours

B.	Calculation of average EFOR_D for Forecast Unforced Capacity Requirements and Obligations

The forecast average EFOR_D in a Planning Period shall be the average of the forced outage rates, weighted for unit capability and expected time in service, attributable to all of the Capacity Resources of the Parties serving load within the PJM Region that are planned to be in service including Capacity Resources purchased from specified units and excluding Capacity Resources sold outside the PJM Region from specified units. Such rate shall also include (i) an adjustment, if any, for capacity unavailable due to energy limitations determined in accordance with definitions and criteria set forth in the PJM Manuals and (ii) any other adjustments approved by the Reliability Committee to adjust the parameters of a designated unit when such parameters are or will be used to determine a future PJM Region reserve requirement and such adjustment is required to more accurately predict the future performance of such unit in light of extraordinary circumstances. For the purposes of this Schedule, the average EFOR_D shall be the average of the capacity-weighted EFOR_Ds of all units committed to serve load in the PJM Region. All rates shall be in percent.

The EFOR_D of a unit not yet in service or which has been in service less than one full calendar year at the time of forecast shall be the class average rate for units with that capability and of that type, as estimated and used in the calculation of the Forecast Pool Requirement.

The EFOR_D of a unit in service five or more full calendar years at the time of forecast shall be the average rate experienced by such unit during the five most recent calendar years. Historical data shall be based on official reports of the Parties under rules and practices approved by the Reliability Committee.


PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.		First Revised Sheet No. 31B
First Revised Rate Schedule FERC Xx. 00		Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xx. 00X

The EFORD of a unit in service at least one full calendar year but less than five full calendar years at the time of the forecast shall be determined as follows:

Full Calendar

The average EFOR_D used to determine a Load Serving Entity’s ability to meet its Accounted-For Obligation for Unforced Capacity in a month shall be the average of the forced outage rates, weighted for unit capability, calculated on a twelve-month rolling average basis for the twelve-month period ending two months prior to the first month of the Interval for which the obligation was incurred, attributable to all of the generating units of the Load Serving Entity committed to serve load within the Zone. These resources include Capacity Resources purchased from specified units and exclude Capacity Resources sold from specified units. Such rate shall also include (i) an adjustment, if any, for capacity unavailable due to energy limitations determined in accordance with definitions and criteria set forth in the PJM Manuals and (ii) any other adjustment approved by the Members Committee to adjust the parameters of a designated unit.

The EFOR_D of a unit in service twelve or more full calendar months prior to the calculation month shall be the average rate experienced by such unit during the twelve most recent calendar months, allowing for up to a two month period to collect data and calculate rates. Historical data shall be based on official reports of the Parties under rules and practices set forth in the PJM Manuals.

SCHEDULE 5.2

PROCEDURES FOR THE

ACTIVE LOAD MANAGEMENT CREDIT

A.	Parties can receive an adjustment to their load used in determining their Accounted-For Obligation for ALM that is operated under the direction of the Office of the Interconnection. For a Party to receive this adjustment to load, ALM must satisfy the following criteria:

A Party must formally notify, in accordance with the requirements of the PJM Manuals and paragraph E of this schedule as applicable, the Office of the Interconnection of the ALM that it is placing under the direction of the Office of the Interconnection.

The initiation of load interruption, upon the request of the Office of the Interconnection, must be within the authority of the dispatchers of the Party. No additional approvals should be required.

A period of no more than 2 hours prior notification must apply to interruptible customers.

The initiation of ALM upon the request of the Office of the Interconnection is considered an emergency action and must be implementable prior to a voltage reduction.

A Party must agree to reserve, for interruption at the direction of the Office of the Interconnection, at least 10 interruptions per Planning Period in order to receive ALM credit.

A Party must agree to reserve interruptions of at least 6-hour duration. As a minimum, such 6-hour duration for interruptions should be available on weekdays during the 8-hour daily peak window for the appropriate season. There will be no credit given to Parties who choose to provide interruption less than 6 hours and/or exclusive of the above time period.

The ALM must be available during the summer period of June through September for credit in the corresponding Planning Period.

B.	The ALM load credit of a Party will be determined as:

The ALM load credit of a Party will be the product of the nominal megawatt value of that Party’s ALM multiplied by the ALM Factor. The ALM Factor is a factor established by the Members Committee to reflect the increase in the peak load carrying capability in the PJM Region due to ALM for the PJM Region divided by the total nominal amount of ALM in the PJM Region. The PJM ALM Factor will be determined


XXX Interconnection, L.L.C.		Second Revised Sheet No. 31E
First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32		Superseding First Revised Sheet No. 31E

using an analytical program that uses a probabilistic approach to determine reliability. The determination of the PJM ALM Factor will consider the reliability of the active load management, the number of interruptions, and the total amount of active load management. The detailed procedures used for calculating the PJM ALM Factor shall be set forth in the PJM Manuals.

The ALM credit value for the individual Parties shall be calculated as follows:

ALM credit = Megawatt Value of a Party’s ALM x PJM ALM Factor

C.	The Electric Distributor or LSE that establishes a contractual relationship (by contract or tariff rate) with a customer for ALM reductions is entitled to the PJM ALM credit for the customer, regardless of the customer’s energy supplier.

D.	The Parties need to demonstrate that their ALM performed during periods when load management procedures were invoked by the Office of the Interconnection. The Office of the Interconnection shall adopt and maintain rules and procedures for verifying the performance of ALM.

Prior to the commencement of the Planning Period, Parties may elect to place ALM associated with Behind The Meter Generation under the direction of the Office of the Interconnection. This election shall remain in effect for the entire Planning Period. In the event such an election is made, such Behind The Meter Generation will not be netted from load for the purposes of calculating Accounted-For Obligations under this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 6

PLANS TO MEET CAPACITY OBLIGATIONS

A.	Each Party shall submit to the Office of the Interconnection its plans for satisfying its estimated Accounted-For Obligation through Capacity Resources, including (1) installation of generating resources or (2) purchases.

Each Party must submit to the Office of the Interconnection a notice of any change in its plans for Capacity Resources three months (or such shorter time period consistent with the ability of the Office of the Interconnection to evaluate requests for Network Transmission Service, the designation of Network Resources or the identification of a Point of Receipt for Firm Point-to-Point Service) prior to each month in a Planning Period.

The Capacity Resource plans of each Party shall indicate the nature and current status of commitments with respect to each addition, retirement and sale or purchase of capacity included in its plans. The Office of the Interconnection will review the adequacy of the submittals hereunder both as to timing and content.

C.	The specific Capacity Resources identified in a Party’s plans may be adjusted at any time; provided, however, no such adjustment may be retroactive and any new Capacity Resource must also be a Network Resource or Point of Receipt deliverable to loads on a firm basis under the PJM Tariff.

SCHEDULE 7

DETERMINATION OF ACCOUNTED-FOR OBLIGATION

AND DEFICIENCIES

A.	Each Party’s Accounted-For Obligation shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule.

For each billing month during a Planning Period the Accounted-For Obligation of a Party shall be determined on a daily basis as follows:

Accounted-For Obligation = (FSP – ALM credit) x FPR/100

Where:


FSP =		the daily summation of the forecasted weather-adjusted coincident summer peak of the end-users in the PJM Region (net of operating Behind The Meter Generation, but not to be less than zero) for which the Party was responsible on that billing day, as determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in the PJM Manuals

ALM credit =		the ALM load adjustments to the Party for the Zone determined pursuant to Schedule 5.2

FPR =		the Forecast Pool Requirement

A Party shall be deficient and shall pay the deficiency charge set forth in Schedule 11 if the Party’s Unforced Capacity is less than its Accounted-For Obligation. Such deficiencies shall be measured on a day-by-day basis as required by changes in a Party’s Unforced Capacity and in its responsibilities for service to end-users.

For purposes of determining deficiencies pursuant to paragraph A.2 of this Schedule, the sum of the Unforced Capacity for each Capacity Resource and the Capacity Credits relied on by a Party shall be established by the Office of the Interconnection on a daily basis, subject only to adjustment for the transfer of rights to Capacity Resources (including the purchase or sale of Capacity Credits) during a period in the initial billing month (as defined in the PJM Manuals) in which the final Accounted-For Obligation of a Party is known; provided, however, that such transfers of rights to Capacity Resources shall (1) include only resources that qualify as Capacity Resources on the day a Party intends to rely on the Unforced Capacity of those Capacity Resources to satisfy its Accounted-For Obligation and (2) exclude any Firm Transmission Rights, as that term is defined under the Operating Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Capacity Credits held by a Party shall be counted fully toward the satisfaction of that Party’s Accounted-For Obligation.

SCHEDULE 8

PEAK SEASON MAINTENANCE

To preserve and maintain the reliability of the PJM Region and to recognize the impact of planned outages and maintenance outages during the Peak Season, each Party is obligated to have sufficient Unforced Capacity to satisfy its Accounted-For Obligation plus its Peak Season Maintenance Obligation during the Peak Season.

B.	The Peak Season shall be defined to be those weeks containing the 24th through 36th Wednesdays of the calendar year. Each such week shall begin on a Monday and end on the following Sunday, except for the week containing the 36th Wednesday, which shall end on the following Friday.

C.	Peak Season Maintenance is defined as planned outages and maintenance outages during the Peak Season.

For each day during the Peak Season, the Peak Season Maintenance Obligation of a Party shall be the amount, in megawatts, which shall be based on the Unforced Capacity of the Unit, of that Party’s Peak Season Maintenance at the time of the PJM Region daily peak, excluding outages for maintenance when released by the Office of the Interconnection for a specified period and other outages as approved by the Reliability Committee from time to time.

A Party shall be deficient and shall pay the charge set forth in Schedule 11 it its Unforced Capacity is less than the sum of its Peak Season Maintenance Obligation and its Accounted-For Obligation (as determined pursuant to Schedule 7); provided, however, that Party shall be considered to be deficient only to the extent of any megawatts of deficiency in excess of the number of megawatts for which such Party already has paid a deficiency charge related to Schedule 7.

The Office of the Interconnection may, in accordance with the Amended Operating Agreement and the PJM Manuals, withdraw its approval of a Generator Planned Outage in connection with anticipated implementation or avoidance of Emergency procedures. If this delay in the start of a Generator Planned Outage causes the end of such outage (based on its planned duration at the time of the delay) to be in the Peak Season, there will be no requirement for additional Capacity Resources for the number of Peak Season days equal to the number of days of delay in the start of the Generator Planned Outage.

G.	Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 of the Agreement, the Office of the Interconnection shall adopt and maintain rules and procedures for determining the allowable Peak Season Maintenance.

PROCEDURES FOR

ESTABLISHING THE CAPABILITY OF CAPACITY RESOURCES

A.	Such rules and procedures as may be required to determine and demonstrate the capability of Capacity Resources for the purposes of meeting a Load Serving Entity’s obligation under the Agreement shall be approved by the Reliability Committee and maintained in the PJM Manuals.

B.	The rules and procedures for determining and demonstrating the capability of generating units to serve load in the PJM Region shall be consistent with achieving uniformity for planning, operating, accounting and reporting purposes.

The rules and procedure shall recognize the difference in types of generating units and the relative ability of units to maintain output at stated capability over a specified period of time. Factors affecting such ability include, but are not limited to, fuel availability, stream flow for hydro units, reservoir storage for hydro and pumped storage units, mechanical limitations, and system operating policies.


XXX Interconnection, L.L.C.		Original Sheet No. 37
First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32

SCHEDULE 10

PROCEDURES FOR ESTABLISHING

DELIVERABILITY OF CAPACITY RESOURCES

Capacity Resources must be deliverable, consistent with a loss of load expectation as specified by the Reliability Principles and Standards, to the total system load, including portion(s) of the system in the PJM Region that may have a capacity deficiency at any time. Deliverability shall be demonstrated by either obtaining or providing for Network Transmission Service or Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service within the PJM Region such that each Capacity Resource is either a Network Resource or a Point of Receipt, respectively. In addition, for Capacity Resources located outside the metered boundaries of the PJM Region that are used to meet an Accounted-For Obligation, the capacity and energy of such Capacity Resources must be delivered to the metered boundaries of the PJM Region through firm transmission service.

Certification of deliverability means that the physical capability of the transmission network has been tested by the Office of the Interconnection and found to provide that service consistent with the assessment of available transfer capability as set forth in the PJM Tariff and, for Capacity Resources owned or contracted for by a Load Serving Entity, that the Load Serving Entity has obtained or provided for Network Transmission Service or Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service to have capacity delivered on a firm basis under specified terms and conditions.

SCHEDULE 11

DEFICIENCY CHARGES

A.	Deficiency Rate

The rate for deficiencies determined pursuant to Schedules 7 and 8 shall be approved annually by the Reliability Committee based on the annual carrying charges for a new combustion turbine, installed and connected to the transmission system. The annual carrying charges shall be divided by a factor of one less the forecast average EFOR_D for the most recent calendar year (as determined pursuant to Schedule 5.1) to state the rate in terms of Unforced Capacity. Until otherwise changed by the Reliability Committee, the rate for deficiencies shall be $160 per megawatt-day ($58.40 per kilowatt-year) divided by a factor of one less the average EFOR_D.

B.	Calculation of Deficiency Charges for Schedule 7

The deficiency charge for a deficiency determined pursuant to Schedule 7 shall be calculated in a manner set forth herein:

DC = (R x L)

Where:

DC is the daily deficiency charge in dollars.

R is the daily deficiency rate in dollars per megawatt-day in terms of Unforced Capacity as defined in section A.

L is the deficiency calculated pursuant to section C of Schedule 7.

A change in Accounted-For Obligation due to an increase in customers during the applicable Interval shall be determined by subtracting the Party Peak Load of the Party (net of its operating Behind The Meter Generation, but not to be less than zero) on the twentieth day of the immediately preceding month from the Party Peak Load (net of its operating Behind The Meter Generation, but not to be less than zero) on the day the Party is deficient and multiplying this quantity by the Forecast Pool Requirement. If that number is positive, then the Party shall be assessed the DC for that portion of its deficiency due to such increase in customers.

If, on any day during an Interval, all or part of a deficiency occurs for reasons other than an increase in a Party’s Accounted-For Obligation due to an increase in customers as defined in subsection 2, above, then an entity shall pay the Interval Deficiency Charge per MW of deficiency. The Interval Deficiency Charge shall be paid only once during an Interval and shall be based on the largest amount of megawatts a Party is deficient on any one day during the Interval.


XXX Interconnection, L.L.C.		Substitute Original Sheet No. 39
First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32		Superseding Original Sheet No. 39

C.	Calculation of Deficiency Charges for Schedule 8

The deficiency charge for deficiencies determined pursuant to Schedule 8 shall be DC

= (R x P), where the meanings of DC and R are as set forth above and P means the deficiency determined pursuant to section E of Schedule 8.

D.	Distribution Of Deficiency Charges

Recipients of capacity deficiency revenues are defined for each Interval as: (a) each owner of Capacity Resources with Unforced Capacity which it has committed to PJM prior to the start of the Interval for every day of the Interval; (b) each owner of newly certified Capacity Resources that become available during an Interval and which are committed to PJM for every remaining day of the Interval after such certification; and (c) each Party and each party to the RAA that has fully satisfied its obligation on every day during the Interval for which a deficiency charge has been established pursuant to this Agreement. Recipients shall share in any deficiency charges paid by any Party or by any party to the RAA during the Interval that has failed to satisfy its obligation and that have been received by the Office of the Interconnection, in accordance with subsection (ii) below.

ii.

A Recipient shall receive the higher of (a) a proportionate share of the deficiency charges for the Interval equal to ((x + y)/z); or (b) the alternate value of capacity times y. Except that, if, for an owner of Capacity Resources, the Alternate Value of capacity multiplied by (y) is greater than [(y) divided by (z)] times the total deficiency charges, then: (1) each owner of Capacity Resources with net capacity shall receive the Alternate Value of capacity multiplied by (y), provided, however, that if the sum of the payments thus calculated exceeds the total deficiency charges collected, each Capacity Resource owner will receive a proportional share of the total deficiency charges equal to (y) divided by the sum (y), times the total deficiency charges; and then (2) any remaining deficiency charges shall be allocated to each LSE that has fully satisfied its Accounted-For Obligation, where the share of each such LSE shall be (x) divided by the total of (x) for all LSEs.

Where:

x is the average MW of covered obligation for a Party for every day of the Interval.

y is (a) the minimum MW of capacity, uncommitted to any LSE and committed and available to PJM prior to the start of the interval, if committed by a capacity owner for every day of the entire Interval, or (b) the minimum MW of capacity, uncommitted to any LSE and committed and available to PJM from a new


PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.		First Revised Sheet No. 40
First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32		Superseding Original Sheet No. 40

resource, if committed by a capacity owner for every remaining day of the Interval after the capacity becomes available multiplied by the ratio of the remaining days to the total days in the Interval.

z is the total of x and y for all Recipients

A Recipient that commits the Unforced Capacity of a Capacity Resource to PJM for an Interval must commit the Capacity Resource for the entire duration of the Interval. A Party that commits the Unforced Capacity of a new Capacity Resource to PJM for the balance of an Interval must commit the Capacity Resources for the entire duration of the balance of the Interval.

iii.

for purposes of this Section D only, the alternate value of capacity (AV) shall be defined as:

AV = F*16*OD

Where:

F equals (Average of the Forward Market Monthly On-Peak Energy Prices over the Interval for Cinergy Hub) minus (Average of the Forward Market Monthly On-Peak Energy Prices over the Interval for PJM West Hub)

16 is the number of on-peak hours per day

OD is the number of On-Peak Days in the Interval

This value will be determined for the five on-peak days (as defined in Schedules 7 and 8 of the PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff) preceding the 15^th day of the month immediately prior to the beginning of an Interval. The forward prices used in the AV calculation shall be the weighted average of the prices published, on the identified day, in such trade publication(s) as are approved by the Reliability Committee and which shall be posted on the PJM web site. If no new index is determined prior to the beginning of an Interval the current index will be continued.

iv.

In the event all of the Parties and all of the parties to the RAA have incurred deficiency charges with respect to an obligation and there is no owner of Capacity Resources entitled to payments as described above, the deficiency charges shall be distributed as approved by the Reliability Committee.


PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.		Original Sheet No. 41
First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32

X.	XXX Deficiency Charge

Each Party that specifies ALM pursuant to Schedule 5.2 but, in an Emergency, does not deliver, upon the request of the Office of the Interconnection, its entire specified amount of ALM will be assessed a deficiency charge in accordance with the following formula:

Compliance Deficiency Value x Daily Capacity Deficiency Rate x 365/10

Where:

Compliance Deficiency Value is equal to the amount of ALM (in megawatts) a Party is deficient, if, during an Emergency, the Party, upon the request of the Office of the Interconnection, provides less ALM than it specified pursuant to Schedule 5.2;

Daily Capacity Deficiency Rate is the rate specified in Paragraph A of this Schedule 11.

Revenues from deficiency charges will be distributed to the Parties and to the parties to the RAA that, during an Emergency, provide ALM in excess of the amount they specified pursuant to Schedule 5.2 of the agreement to which it is a party (prorated if necessary). Any deficiency charge payment not so distributed will be distributed at the discretion of the Reliability Committee.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURE CHARGES

A.	Emergency Procedure Charges

Following an Emergency, the compliance of each Party with the instructions of the Office of the Interconnection shall be evaluated as recommended by the Reliability Committee and directed by the PJM Board. If, based on such evaluation, it is determined that a Party refused to comply with, or otherwise failed to employ its best efforts to comply with, the instructions of the Office of the Interconnection to implement PJM emergency procedures, that Party shall pay an emergency procedure charge as follows: for each megawatt ALM that was not interrupted as directed and for each megawatt of a Capacity Resource that was not made available as directed despite being capable of producing energy at the time, and that is deliverable to the PJM Region in the case of a Capacity Resource located outside of the PJM Region, the Party shall pay 365 times the daily deficiency rate per megawatt set forth in Section A of Schedule 11.

B.	Distribution Of Emergency Procedure Charges

Each Party and each party to the RAA that has complied with the emergency procedures imposed by this Agreement or the RAA during an Emergency, without incurring an emergency procedure charge, shall share in any emergency procedure charges paid by any other Party or by any party to the RAA that has failed to satisfy said obligation during an Emergency. Such shares shall be in proportion to the sum of the Accounted For Obligations (calculated without any reduction for ALM load credit) of of the Parties and each of the parties to the RAA entitled to share in the charges, for the most recent month.

In the event all of the Parties and all of the parties to the RAA have incurred charges with respect to an Emergency, the charges related to that Emergency shall be distributed as approved by the PJM Board.

This schedule sets forth the standards and procedures to assure capacity adequacy in the zone (“ComEd Zone”) of Commonwealth Edison Company (including Commonwealth Edison Company of Indiana) (“ComEd”) during the Interim Period. For purposes of this schedule, the Interim Period is the time period beginning upon the date that the ComEd Zone is added to the PJM West Region and concluding upon May 31, 2005; provided, however, that if the American Electric Power Zone is not expected to be added to the PJM West Region by such date, the parties shall meet before such date to address the capacity adequacy requirements for the ComEd Zone to be in effect after such date. Except as may be waived during the Phase-in Period as set forth in section L of this Schedule 17, all Load-serving Entities serving load in the ComEd Zone during the Interim Period shall comply with the provisions of this schedule, and with all other provisions of this Agreement and its attached schedules to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Schedule 17.

Interim Installed Capacity Requirement. The Interim Installed Capacity Requirement shall be determined as set forth in this section to establish the level of Capacity Resources that will provide an acceptable level of reliability consistent with the Reliability Principles and Standards. The Interim Installed Capacity Requirement (“IICR”) shall be determined for each Interval as:


		IICR = FZAP (1 + IRM)*

Where:

FZAP =		the forecast accounting peak for the ComEd Zone for such Interval, which shall be the weather-normalized, 50/50 probability load prior to interruptible load being curtailed

IRM =		the installed reserve margin applicable to such Interval, for which purpose, the PJM Board shall determine an installed capacity reserve margin for the summer-season Interval, and a separate installed capacity reserve margin for the non-summer-season Intervals

The Interim Installed Capacity Requirement shall be projected for each Interval, no later than 60 days prior to the first day of such Interval, by PJM based on the IRM and the FZAP projected by the Electric Distributor for the ComEd Zone under the direction and supervision of, and subject to the final approval of, the Office of the Interconnection.

The Office of the Interconnection shall establish and set forth in the PJM Manuals standards and procedures for the determination of Mandatory Interruptible Load, such standards and procedures to be consistent with MAIN Guide 3B, MAIN Guide 6, and MAIN audit standards.

E.	Each Party’s Interim Capacity Obligation for each billing month during an Interval shall be determined as:

Party Interim Capacity Obligation = {IICR * (FPAP/FZAP)} - {FPMIL * (1 + IRM)}


Where:
FPAP	=	the forecasted weather-adjusted coincident annual peak of the end-users in the ComEd Zone for which the Party is responsible for that month (in accordance with Section I of this Schedule), as determined by the Electric Distributor for the ComEd Zone under the direction and supervision of, and subject to the approval of, the Office of the Interconnection, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the PJM Manuals.

FPMIL	=	the forecast Mandatory Interruptible Load adjustments to the Party for the Zone for the billing month determined pursuant to this schedule.

For purposes of this paragraph, FZAP shall be determined for the annual peak of the ComEd Zone.

Any disputes concerning the determination of the Party Interim Capacity Obligation shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the Amended Operating Agreement.

Each Party shall satisfy its Interim Capacity Obligation by committing the installed capacity, rated at summer conditions, of Capacity Resources (“Installed Capacity”). A Party may use capacity credits to meet all or part of its capacity obligations under this Schedule. For this purpose, the Office of the Interconnection shall administer monthly and Interval capacity credit markets for the ComEd Zone in accordance with Schedule 11 to the Amended Operating Agreement, provided that the credits sold and purchased shall be on an Installed Capacity basis, shall only be used to meet capacity obligations in the ComEd Zone, and shall not include daily markets.

For purposes of this Schedule, the capability of qualifying Capacity Resources shall be determined in accordance with Schedule 9 and the deliverability of such resources shall be determined in accordance with Schedule 10 (provided that the test for deliverability shall be as to the ComEd Zone, rather than as to the PJM Region).

First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32

H.	Planned maintenance outage schedules for Installed Capacity committed to satisfy a Party’s Interim Capacity Obligation may be modified only with the prior approval of the Office of the Interconnection.

Following the Phase-in Period, a Party’s Interim Capacity Obligation shall be adjusted as of the first day of a calendar month to reflect a transfer of load from or to such Party where such transfer is to or from any other Party occurring on or at any time before the twentieth day of the immediately preceding month.

If a Party’s Installed Capacity during any Interval is less than its Interim Capacity Obligation for such Interval, the Party shall be deficient and shall pay the deficiency charge set forth in section K of this Schedule. In addition, (i) a charge calculated in the same manner as that specified in Schedule 11, Section E (excluding, however, the forced outage adjustment factor), shall apply to a Party that specifies Mandatory Interruptible Load but that fails to deliver the full amount of such Mandatory Interruptible Load upon the request of the Office of the Interconnection; and (ii) a charge calculated in the same manner as that specified in Schedule 12 (excluding, however, the forced outage adjustment factor), shall apply to a Party that refuses to comply with, or otherwise fails to employ its best efforts to comply with, the instructions of the Office of the Interconnection to implement emergency procedures. Revenues from the charges specified in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section J shall be distributed in a manner comparable to that set forth in Schedules 11 and 12, respectively.

The charge for deficiencies during any Interval required by Section J of this Schedule shall be equal to the product of: (i) the daily deficiency rate of $160 per megawatt-day, multiplied by (ii) the deficiency calculated under Section J of this Schedule (taking into account any change in such Party’s Interim Capacity Obligation during such Interval in accordance with Section I of this Schedule), multiplied by (iii) the number of days in such Interval. The deficiency charge shall be paid only once by any Party during any Interval and shall be based on the greatest number of megawatts such Party is deficient on any day during such Interval. Deficiency charge revenues collected for an Interval under this Section K shall be distributed to Parties that meet their Interim Capacity Obligations for the ComEd Zone for such Interval (or as determined by the PJM Board in the event all such Parties have incurred deficiency charges for such Interval) in the same manner as set forth in Section B of Schedule 11 of this Agreement, provided, however, the Alternative Value calculation set forth in that Section shall not be applicable, and distribution shall be made only to Parties that meet their obligations under this Schedule.

Procedures during the Phase-in Period. For purposes of facilitating the implementation of the capacity adequacy procedures of this Schedule in the ComEd Zone, there shall be a Phase-in Period that shall commence on the first day of the Interim Period and conclude upon May 31, 2004. During the Phase-in Period, the following requirements and procedures shall apply.


PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.		Original Sheet No. 48D
First Revised Rate Schedule FERC No. 32

The capacity obligations of this Schedule shall be waived as to any Load-Serving Entity (“Non-Party LSE”) serving load in the ComEd Zone for which ComEd has assumed all obligations of this Schedule for such Phase-in Period under this Section L.

ComEd shall be a Party to this Agreement during the Phase-In Period, and shall commit for the duration of the Phase-in Period Capacity Resources sufficient to satisfy: (i) the Interim Installed Capacity Requirement, less (ii) the sum of the Party Interim Capacity Obligations of any Load-Serving Entity that becomes a Party to this Agreement and fulfills the obligations of this Schedule for the duration of the Phase-in Period.

The IRM shall be 15 percent, applied to the forecast accounting peak of the ComEd Zone during the Phase-In Period. Installed Capacity shall not include any capacity forecast to be out of service during the Phase-in Period. For this purpose, the Office of the Interconnection shall audit and establish each Party’s Installed Capacity no later than 45 days before the first day of the Phase-in Period. Each Party with capacity obligations during the Phase-in Period must disclose all known capacity outages for any part of the Phase-in Period during such audit. Installed Capacity committed pursuant to the audit must remain committed during the Phase-in Period as set forth in such audit.

The penalties and charges set forth in sections J and K shall apply during the Phase-in Period, but no capacity credit market shall be conducted for the Phase-in Period or any month thereof. Transfers of load among Parties shall not modify the transferor Party’s or transferee Party’s capacity obligations during the Phase-in Period.

Any Load-Serving Entity, as to all or part of the load it serves in the ComEd Zone, may elect to be a Party to this Agreement and subject to its rights and obligations, including the obligations of this Schedule, during the Phase-in Period. An LSE desiring to make this election must do so for the entire Phase-in Period and shall notify the Office of the Interconnection of such election by no later than 45 days prior to the first day of the Phase-in Period.

The allocation of financial transmission rights shall be modified for the ComEd Zone during the Phase-in Period in the manner set forth in Section 9 of Schedule 1 to the Amended Operating Agreement.
