Exelon Rejects All Offers on Purchase of AmerGen, No Longer Intends to Sell
(Chicago) March 7, 2003 -- Exelon Generation Company and British Energy have
agreed to reject all offers for the purchase of AmerGen Energy Co. LLC and to
terminate the auction process, the two companies announced today.
Both parties reviewed the bids and concluded none were adequate. With the
rejection of these offers, Exelon no longer intends to sell its interest in
AmerGen. When Exelon announced it would undertake the exploratory sale process
on Sept. 4, 2002, it indicated that it would consider selling its 50-percent
share of AmerGen only at the right price. With the termination of the sale
process, Exelon has decided to continue its investment in AmerGen and the three
AmerGen plants will continue to operate as they have to date, with a strong
commitment to safety and operational excellence.
Exelon and British Energy each owns half of AmerGen, which consists of the
Clinton Power Station in central Illinois, Three Mile Island Unit 1 near
Harrisburg, Pa., and the Oyster Creek Generating Station on the New Jersey
shore. The three single-unit plants have a total capacity of approximately 2,500
megawatts.
AmerGen was formed in 1997 as a joint venture between PECO Energy Company and
British Energy. PECO merged with Unicom of Chicago in 2000 to form Exelon.
