ILLINOIS AUCTION UPDATE
9/15/06
Auction Process
The first wholesale electricity auction in Illinois commenced on September 5, 2006 and concluded on September 8, 2006. Over 20 suppliers registered to bid to supply the load for the two Illinois utilities — ComEd and Ameren.
Suppliers were limited to winning no more than 35% in either the fixed price section or the hourly price section of the auction.
Refer to the chart below for a snapshot of the auction processes as filed in prior investor presentations.

Fixed Price Auction Descriptions
On September 14, 2006, the Illinois Commerce Commission (“ICC”) approved the results of the auction for fixed-price customers (CPP-A and CPP-B). This result means that ComEd will be able to execute contracts and pass-through prices for the majority of customers with loads up to 3MW.
The ICC did, however, decide to investigate the auction results from the hourly, or “real-time”, pricing section (CPP-H) of the auction. This product is offered to customers 3MW and above (ComEd’s 400 largest customers). Of these customers, approximately 80% currently receive supply from a Retail Electric Supplier (“RES”). Consequently, the expected load for this product is small. Although the ICC conceded that the process worked as expected, concern was expressed over the final prices. ComEd, Ameren, ICC Staff and the Auction Manager will meet within 10 business days to consider alternatives. Alternatives could include buying electricity from PJM in the spot market.
Refer to chart below for the term structures for the auction (CPP-A and CPP-B) discussed above.
