__________
(a)Reflects a four-year cumulative multi-year rate plan for January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2027. The MRP was originally approved by the ICC on December 14, 2023 and was subsequently amended on January 10, 2024, April 18, 2024 and December 19, 2024. The December 19, 2024 order provided a total revenue requirement increase of $1.045 billion inclusive of rate increases of approximately $752 million in 2024, $80 million in 2025, $102 million in 2026, and $111 million in 2027. On March 20, 2025, ComEd filed its annual revenue balancing reconciliation for 2024. This reconciliation, which is a component of revenue decoupling, reflected a revenue reduction of $55 million, effective January 1, 2026. On April 29, 2025, ComEd filed its 2024 MRP Reconciliation reflecting a revenue increase of $268 million, which includes the tax benefit of NOLCs. While NOLCs were included in the MRP Reconciliation, the impacts of the NOLCs will not be reflected in the financial statements until the PLR is received from the IRS. See Note 6 — Income Taxes for additional information on NOLCs.
(b)On October 31, 2024, the Delivery Reconciliation Amount for 2023 defined in Rider Delivery Service Pricing Reconciliation (Rider DSPR) was approved. Rider DSPR allows for the reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect in the final years in which formula rates are determined and until such time as new rates are established under ComEd's approved MRP. The 2024 order reconciled the delivery service rates in effect in 2023 with the actual delivery service costs incurred in 2023. The reconciliation revenue requirement provides for a weighted average debt and equity return on distribution rate base of 7.02%, inclusive of an allowed ROE of 9.89%, reflecting the monthly yields on 30-year treasury bonds plus 580 basis points.
(c)PECO’s approved annual electric revenue requirement increase of $354 million is partially offset by a one-time credit of $64 million in 2025. In addition, the PAPUC approved the recovery of storm damage costs incurred by PECO in January 2024, up to $23 million, subject to review for reasonableness and prudency in PECO’s next distribution rate case.
(d)On December 12, 2024, the PAPUC issued their Opinions and Orders which approved the non-unanimous partial settlements with limited modifications for both the electric and natural gas base rate cases, and denied the Weather Normalization Adjustment requested in the natural gas base rate case.
(e)The PECO electric and natural gas base rate case proceedings were resolved through settlement agreements, which did not specify an approved ROE.
(f)Reflects a three-year cumulative multi-year plan for January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026. The MDPSC awarded BGE electric revenue requirement increases of $41 million, $113 million, and $25 million in 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively, and natural gas revenue requirement increases of $126 million, $62 million, and $41 million in 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively. Requested revenue requirement increases will be used to recover capital investments designed to increase the resilience of the electric and gas distribution systems and support Maryland's climate and regulatory initiatives. The MDPSC also approved a portion of the requested 2021 and 2022 reconciliation amounts, which was recovered through separate electric and gas riders between March 2024 through February 2025. As such, the reconciliation amounts are not included in the approved revenue requirement increases. The 2021 reconciliation amounts are $13 million and $7 million for electric and gas, respectively, and the 2022 reconciliation amounts are $39 million and $15 million for electric and gas, respectively. In April 2024, BGE filed with the MDPSC its request for recovery of the 2023 reconciliation amounts of $79 million and $73 million for electric and gas, respectively, with supporting testimony and schedules.
(g)Reflects a two-year cumulative multi-year plan for January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2026. The DCPSC awarded Pepco electric incremental revenue requirement increases of $99 million and $24 million for 2025 and 2026, respectively.
(h)Reflects the amounts requested (before offsets) and awarded for a one-year multi-year plan for April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025. The MDPSC awarded Pepco an electric incremental revenue requirement increase of $45 million for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2025. The MDPSC did not adopt the requested revenue requirement increases of $80 million (before offsets), $51 million, and $14 million as filed for 2025, 2026, and the 2027 nine-month extension period, respectively. The MDPSC also approved the requested reconciliation amounts for the 12-month periods ending March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023, which will be recovered through a rider between August 2024 through March 2026. As such, the reconciliation amounts are not included in the approved revenue requirement increases. The reconciliation amounts are $1 million and $7 million, for the 12-month periods ending March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023, respectively. In July 2024, Pepco filed its request with the MDPSC for recovery of $31 million for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024, with supporting testimony and schedules.
(i)Reflects a three-year cumulative multi-year plan for January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The MDPSC awarded DPL electric incremental revenue requirement increases of $17 million, $6 million, and $6 million for 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.
(j)On April 18, 2024, the DEPSC approved the Significant Storm Expense Rate Rider (Rider SSER) which will allow DPL to recover expenses associated with qualified storms. A qualified storm will be an individual storm for which DPL incurs expenses between $5 million and $15 million. The Rider SSER allows DPL to recover significant storm damage expenses for the previous 12-month period over a future 24-month period. For individual storm events for which DPL incurs expenses of more than $15 million, the future recovery period will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and the unamortized balance will earn a return at DPL's authorized long-term cost of debt. The Rider SSER will have an annual true-up filing, subject to DEPSC review and approval.
(k)Requested and approved increases are before New Jersey sales and use tax. The NJBPU awarded ACE electric revenue requirement increases of $36 million and $9 million effective December 1, 2023 and February 1, 2024, respectively.

__________
(a)The requested revenue requirement increase provides for a weighted average debt and equity return on the energy efficiency regulatory asset and rate base of 7.24% inclusive of an allowed ROE of 10.21%, reflecting the monthly average yields for 30-year treasury bonds plus 580 basis points. For the 2024 reconciliation year, the requested revenue requirement provides for a weighted average debt and equity return on the energy efficiency regulatory asset and rate base of 7.51% inclusive of an allowed ROE of 10.75%, which includes an upward performance adjustment that increased the ROE. The performance adjustment can either increase or decrease the ROE based upon the achievement of energy efficiency savings goals.
