Agenda• Review the hourly Basic Generation Service
option (BGS-CIEP).• Explain the Retail Margin for Large BGS-FP and
BGS-CIEP customers.• Explain electric supply shopping options and
processes.• Provide a customer perspective of BGS-CIEP and
shopping• Provide you with opportunities to meet and
discuss your electric supply with Third Party Suppliers, BPU staff, PJM and the Office of Clean Energy.

Electric Power Supply and Delivery Charges
• Electric Supply includes the costs for the generation of the electric power and any Transmission costs.
• Electric Delivery includes the costs for transporting the electricity within Conectiv’s service territory. Electric Delivery Costs remain fully regulated.
• Today we will be discussing BGS (Electric Delivery Company (EDC) provided Electric Supply).
4
Basic Generation Service is the Electric Supply Product of the EDCs
• BGS is a regulated, default electric supply service available from the EDC.
• BGS is available for customers who do not choose a third party supplier.
• BGS is a completely optional service. Customers who choose a third-party supplier will still receive the same high level of service from Conectiv or any other EDC.
• Prices for BGS were obtained through an on-line auction and truly reflect a market-based rate.
5
Conectiv’s Basic Generation Service Effective Beginning June 1st 2005
• The new BGS rates will be in effect from 6/1/05 through 5/31/06.• The BGS products are:
– A fixed-price product, Basic Generation Service – Fixed Price (BGS-FP). This rate is for residential and smaller industrial and commercial customers (less than 1250 kW peak load); and
– A variable priced product, Basic Generation Service – Commercial and Industrial Energy Pricing (BGS-CIEP). This rate is for larger industrial and commercial customers.
• Industrial and commercial customers with a peak load of greater than 750 kW who remain on BGS will also pay a retail margin charge of 0.5¢ per kWh.
• The remainder of the presentation will focus on the details of the variable, or hourly-priced product (BGS-CIEP).

BGS-CIEP Rate - Energy Components • Real-Time Energy Market or PJM LMP Price
– The PJM load weighted zonal average locational marginal price (LMP) is a real-time spot market price. The LMP is calculated at five-minute intervals.
– Customers on the BGS-CIEP rate will be billed the load-weighted hourly average price in the Conectiv zone, as posted by PJM multiplied by that customers kWh usage in the concurrent hour. Price ranges from $0.00 per MWh to $1000 per MWh ($1.00 per kWhr).
• Price is capped at $1000 per FERC rules (losses and sales tax are on top of this cap).
• Retail Margin ($0.005 per kWh)– Set by the Board of Public Utilities in NJ for all BGS-CIEP
customers.– Rate is the same for all EDCs.– Part of BGS-CIEP rate, so it is only charged to customers that stay
on BGS-CIEP.
10
BGS-CIEP Rate - Energy Components (Continued)
• Ancillary Services Charge – For PJM administrative charges and;– Other generation-related items necessary for electric grid stability.– Charge is from a PJM Tariff.
• BGS Reconciliation Charges– Expected to be small. – Recovers the difference between monthly amount paid to BGS
suppliers and the total revenue received from BGS customers for the preceding months for the applicable BGS supply.
– Charge changes twice a year (June & October), and can be a positive or negative (e.g. a charge or a credit).
• BGS System Control Charge (SCC)– Recovers costs associated with Demand Response Programs.
• All Charges include sales and use tax (SUT).
11
BGS-CIEP Rate – Capacity Components
• BGS Capacity Charges (Generation)– Charges per kilowatt of Generation Obligation.– The charge recovers customer’s allocated share of overall summer
peak load on PJM system.– Rate obtained through BGS Auction. It is the only component
BGS suppliers bid on.• Generation Obligation
– The total generation obligation is the amount of generation all PJM suppliers must have available to provide service to all customers on any day.
– It is based on the average of five (5) highest hours of PJM system load on 5 different days, as determined by PJM.
– Customers are allocated a pro-rata share that is based on their kW usage in those 5 hours.
13
What are some effects of hourly pricing for Customers on BGS-CIEP ?
• Customers will need to understand their usage patterns.• Customers will see more hour-to-hour volatility in energy
price.– Daily price variability (usually higher in day than night).– Seasonal price variability (usually higher in summer than spring
and fall).– Price changes can occur quickly on days with limited supply (e.g.
hot summer days).
• Accrual accounting using historical costs or prior monthly averages becomes less reliable.

Conectiv Process for Enrolling with a Third-Party Supplier
• General rules and processes for Choice– Enrollment, switching, & drops– Billing/Payments
• Customer inquiries• Responsibilities of Customers • Responsibilities of Third Party Suppliers (TPS) • TPSs must be EDI certified & licensed with BPU
27
Customer Enrollment
• Enrollment packet – TPS list & monthly historic usage - Can be obtained by calling 1-800-967-6800.
• Customer contracts with certified TPS– TPS retains contract
• TPS sends in an EDI enrollment transaction at least 20 days prior the meter reading date– Account level, all meters related to each account
number
28
Customer Enrollment
• Verification is based on active account number– invalid account number will cause rejection of
the enrollment• A confirmation letter is sent to customer• Letter sent to account mailing address. If
none, then it is sent to the service address
29
Customer Switching/Drop
• Switching between suppliers requires new enrollments to be received 20 days prior to the meter reading date– All switching restrictions removed
• Drops require a minimum of 15 days notice prior to the meter reading date
30
Customer Billing
• Two customer billing options (Consolidated and Dual). TPS might not offer both– Consolidated
• Account must pass initial creditworthiness test.• One bill from Conectiv with both TPS and Conectiv
Delivery charges included.• TPS has 48 hours to return their charge to Conectiv.• TPS name, phone number, current charge,
adjustments, & total charge indicated.• Rolling page/logo option for TPS.
31
Customer Payments
• Consolidated billing– Conectiv pays the TPS their total charge on the bill– Disputed charges must be discussed with the respective
party
• Customer must maintain a current payment history. Any arrears of 60 days will force the account to dual billing for minimum of 12 months
32
Customer Billing/Payment
• Dual billing– Conectiv sends monthly usage data to TPS
• kW, kWhr, hourly data, etc.
– TPS calculates and mails their bill to the customer for their charges only
– Customer pays TPS– Disputes between TPS and EDC resolved by BPU.
• Inquiries regarding TPS charges will be referred to the TPS

37
Electricity Products Available From The Utility
• BGS is the Only Product Option Available from the Utility(Business Customers Can Choose to Switch from FP to CIEP)
• For BGS-CIEP Tariff Accounts:– Energy: variable PJM hourly LMP– Generation Capacity: fixed by auction– Transmission Capacity: fixed by tariff– Ancillary Services: fixed by tariff– Retail Adder: fixed by BPU (0.5 cent/kWh)
– For BGS-FP Tariff Accounts:– Per kwh price charges set once-a-year– For 750 KW+ accounts, includes 0.5 cent/kWh Retail Adder
38
For BGS-CIEP Accounts it is Never a Bad Time to Shop
• Shopping means that you are seeking competing offers from third party suppliers. You are not obligated to accept any offers or to switch off the utility tariff.
• Because of the current structure of the BGS-CIEP tariff, there is a very good likelihood that you will be able to achieve savings from a third party supplier as compared to the tariff price, regardless of market conditions. It is very much worth the effort at any time.
• Market conditions at the time of the bid can be very important, however, in deciding on the type of product you contract for andpotentially the term of the contract.
39
A Third Party Supplier Can Offer a Variety of Product Options That Suit Your Needs–Fixed Price
•Price / Budget Certainty
•TPS bears market risk
•“Look Back” analysis vs. Floating Product. No assurance of savings vs. tariff
–Floating (Index) Price•Price / Budget Uncertainty
•Customer bears market risk
•Assured Savings vs. Utility BGS
–Block and Index Product or Other Combination Product•Combination Fixed and Floating
40
Benchmarks to Evaluate Offers• Floating Price Product
– Energy would float and be a pass-through, like the BGS-CIEP tariff
– Compare supplier’s fixed charges to BGS-CIEP fixed components to determine savings
• Fixed Price Product– Historical Basis
• Customer Load• Recent PJM LMP Hourly Data• Value: Useful Tool / Not Basis for Decision
– Trigger Prices (subjective)• View of Market Using Forward Market Prices and Other Indices• Do NOT Assure Savings
41
Some Considerations In Choosing A Product
FIXED PRICE BLOCK & INDEX TOTAL INDEX
Customer is in the market, but has no price certainty
Customer chooses how much of their load is in the market
Offers price certainty, but customer risks being out of the market
Total Index• Offers a rate structure based on the
hourly energy market, enabling customers to lower energy costs by managing energy usage in response to market price movements
• Designed for customers with variable loads, operational
Fixed Price• Provides electricity
supply at a fixed price per kWh throughout the term of the contract
• Designed for customers who have
flexibility and the ability to benefit from the option value of being in the market
a predictable load profile and prefer price certainty

Pre-bid Planning
1. Nature of Operations (Usage Patterns)?– Seasonal or daily peaks vs. constant usage
2. On-site generation?
3. Plans for Expansion/Shut Down of facilities?– Timing
– Extent of change in usage

Prebid Planning (2)
4. Credit History/Financial Security Issues
5. Budget/Cash Flow Issues
6. Management Tolerance for Risk
7. Management Decisionmaking Infrastructure
45
Logistical Steps
• Obtain and compile historical usage information for account(s) in electronic format for distribution with bid specifications
• Determine target switch /contract start date, work back using 20-day minimum lead and some contingency time to target a date for accepting bids
• Set a date prior to acceptance of price bids for submission of proposed form of contract. Allow time for review of contract terms prior to acceptance/evaluation of bids. Final negotiation of terms and conditions can be left to post-bid.
46
Logistical Steps (2)
• Develop a list of suppliers to receive bid specifications. Provide for healthy competition, yet keep to manageable number for evaluation and negotiation.
• Consider taking price offers from suppliers for more than one product, so you can compare what product fits best with your business philosophy.
• Put internal review/decision-making infrastructure in place ahead of time. Market prices are volatile and change rapidly; must be able to make timely decisions once bids are accepted.
47
Logistical Steps (3)
• Provide for up-front legal review of standard terms and conditions to avoid protracted negotiations at back-end and/or to assure fair evaluation of bids and proper identification of optimal bids
• Review electric supplier worksheet in your packet. Develop bid specs and questions before taking bids.
48
Evaluating Supplier ContractsContracts & allocation of risks
• Generally, is the contract clearly and fairly drafted taking into account the interests of both parties?
• How are the key risks allocated?– Changes in electricity prices– Material changes in facility operations– Facility closures / expansions– Excess or deficient usage
• What are the remedies in the event of a default?
49
Summary Points
• BGS is a default service. Customers can choose to be supplied by a TPS.
• The BGS-CIEP rate varies from hour to hour in each day.
• Conectiv and the other EDCs will continue to provide the same high level of service. We are here to help make this next step in the transition to Energy Choice a success.

BGS-CIEP Rate – Additional Information on Capacity Components
• BGS Capacity Charges – Charges per kilowatt of Generation Obligation– Rate obtained through BGS Auction. It is the only component BGS
suppliers bid on.– The charge recovers customer’s allocated share of overall summer peak
load on PJM system.– Effective January 1st each year with PJM scaling factor adjustment in May
• Generation Obligation– The total generation obligation is the amount of electric generation all
PJM suppliers must have available to provide service to all customers on any day.
– It is based on the average of Five (5) highest hours of PJM system load on 5 different days, as determined by PJM
– Customers are allocated a pro-rata share that is based on their kW usage on those 5 hours
– Actual hourly data kW demand used for BGS-CIEP customers
