(a)All nuclear stations are boiling water reactors except Braidwood, Byron, Calvert Cliffs, Ginna, and Salem, which are pressurized water reactors.
(b)100%, unless otherwise indicated.
(c)Base-load units are plants that normally operate to take all or part of the minimum continuous load of a system and, consequently, produce electricity at an essentially constant rate. Intermittent units are plants with output controlled by the natural variability of the energy resource rather than dispatched based on system requirements. Intermediate units are plants that normally operate to take load of a system during the daytime higher load hours and, consequently, produce electricity by cycling on and off daily. Peaking units consist of lower-efficiency, quick response steam units, gas turbines and diesels normally used during the maximum load periods.
(d)For nuclear stations, capacity reflects the annual mean rating. Fossil stations and wind and solar facilities reflect a summer rating.
(e)On August 9, 2020, Generation announced it would permanently cease generation operations at Byron and Dresden nuclear facilities in 2021 and Mystic Unit 8 and 9 in 2024. On September 15, 2021, Generation reversed its previous decision to retire Byron and Dresden. See Note 7 — Early Plant Retirements of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(f)Net generation capacity is stated at proportionate ownership share.
(g)Reflects the prior sale of 49% of CRP to a third party. See Note 23 — Variable Interest Entities of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(h)Generation has deactivated the site and is evaluating for potential return of service or retirement beyond 2023.
(i)Generation wholly owns Nine Mile Point Unit 1 and has an 82% undivided ownership interest in Nine Mile Point Unit 2.
(j)CRP owns 100% of the Class A membership interests and a tax equity investor owns 100% of the Class B membership interests of the entity that owns the Bluestem generating assets.
The net generation capability available for operation at any time may be less due to regulatory restrictions, transmission congestion, fuel restrictions, efficiency of cooling facilities, level of water supplies, or generating
units being temporarily out of service for inspection, maintenance, refueling, repairs, or modifications required by regulatory authorities.
Generation maintains property insurance against loss or damage to its principal plants and properties by fire or other perils, subject to certain exceptions. For additional information regarding nuclear insurance of generating facilities, see ITEM 1. BUSINESS — Generation. For its insured losses, Generation is self-insured to the extent that any losses are within the policy deductible or exceed the amount of insurance maintained. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on Generation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
The Utility Registrants
The Utility Registrants' electric substations and a portion of their transmission rights are located on property that they own. A significant portion of their electric transmission and distribution facilities are located above or underneath highways, streets, other public places, or property that others own. The Utility Registrants believe that they have satisfactory rights to use those places or property in the form of permits, grants, easements, licenses, and franchise rights; however, they have not necessarily undertaken to examine the underlying title to the land upon which the rights rest.
Transmission and Distribution
The Utility Registrants’ high voltage electric transmission lines owned and in service at December 31, 2021 were as follows:
| Voltage | Circuit Miles | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(a) In addition, PECO, DPL, and ACE have an ownership interest located in Delaware and New Jersey. See Note 9 - Jointly Owned Electric Utility Plant of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The Utility Registrants' electric distribution system includes the following number of circuit miles of overhead and underground lines:
| Circuit Miles | ComEd | PECO | BGE | Pepco | DPL | ACE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(a) DPL has a 10% undivided interest in approximately 8 miles of natural gas transmission mains located in Delaware which are used by DPL for its natural gas operations and by 90% owner for distribution of natural gas to its electric generating facilities.
The following table presents PECO’s, BGE’s, and DPL’s natural gas facilities:
| Registrant | Facility | Location | Storage Capacity (mmcf) | Send-out or Peaking Capacity (mmcf/day) | |||||||||||||||||||

PECO, BGE, and DPL also own 30, 30, and 10 natural gas city gate stations and direct pipeline customer delivery points at various locations throughout their gas service territory, respectively.
First Mortgage and Insurance
The principal properties of ComEd, PECO, PEPCO, DPL, and ACE are subject to the lien of their respective Mortgages under which their respective First Mortgage Bonds are issued. See Note 17 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The Utility Registrants maintain property insurance against loss or damage to their properties by fire or other perils, subject to certain exceptions. For their insured losses, the Utility Registrants are self-insured to the extent that any losses are within the policy deductible or exceed the amount of insurance maintained. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect in the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Utility Registrants.

Security Measures
The Registrants have initiated and work to maintain security measures. On a continuing basis, the Registrants evaluate enhanced security measures at certain critical locations, enhanced response and recovery plans, long-term design changes, and redundancy measures. Additionally, the energy industry has strategic relationships with governmental authorities to ensure that emergency plans are in place and critical infrastructure vulnerabilities are addressed in order to maintain the reliability of the country’s energy systems.
