Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

Item 1 BUSINESS ------ -------- GENERAL -------
Potomac Electric Power Company (Company), which was incorporated in the District of Columbia in 1896 and in the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1949, is engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The Company's retail service territory includes the District of Columbia and major portions of Montgomery and Prince George's counties in suburban Maryland. The area served at retail covers approximately 640 square miles and had a population of approximately 1.9 million at the end of 1994 and 1993. The Company also sells electricity, at wholesale, to Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SMECO), which distributes electricity in Calvert, Charles, Prince George's and St. Mary's counties in southern Maryland. During 1994, approximately 59% of the Company's revenue were derived from Maryland sales (including wholesale) and 41% from sales in the District of Columbia. About 30% of the Company's revenue were derived from residential customers, 64% from sales to commercial and government customers and 6% from sales at wholesale. Approximately 14% and 3% of 1994 revenue were derived from sales to the U.S. and D.C. governments, respectively.
The Company holds valid franchises, permits and other rights adequate for its business in the territory it serves, and such franchises, permits and other rights contain no unduly burdensome restrictions.
The Company is a member of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection Association (PJM) pursuant to an agreement under which its generating and transmission facilities are operated on an integrated basis with those of the other PJM member utilities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and a small portion of Virginia. The purpose of PJM is to improve the operating economy and reliability of the systems in the group and to provide capital economies by permitting lower reserve requirements than would be required on a system basis. The Company also has direct high voltage connections with the Potomac Edison Company and Virginia Power, neither of which is a member of PJM.

The Company's sales of electric energy are seasonal, and, accordingly, rates have been designed to closely reflect the daily and seasonal variations in the cost of producing electricity, in part by raising summer rates and lowering winter rates. Mild weather during the summer billing months of June through October, when base rates are high to encourage customer conservation and peak load shifting, has an adverse effect on revenue and, conversely, hot weather during these months has a favorable effect.
The Company includes in revenue the amounts received for sales to other utilities related to pooling and interconnection agreements. Amounts received for such interchange deliveries are a component of the Company's fuel rates.
CAPACITY PLANNING ----------------- General -------
During the period 1995 through 2004 the Company estimates that its peak demand will grow at a compound annual rate of approximately 1%. Based upon average weather conditions, the Company expects its compound annual growth in kilowatt-hour sales to range between 1% and 2% over the next decade. The Company's ongoing strategies to meet the increasing energy needs of its customers include conservation and energy use management programs which are designed to curb growth in peak demand. The need for new capacity has been further reduced by programs to maintain older generating units to ensure their continued efficiency over an extended life and the cost-effective purchase of capacity and energy.
Conservation ------------
Cost-effective conservation programs have been a major component of the Company's success in limiting the need for new construction during the past decade.
The Company's conservation and energy use management programs are designed to curb growth in demand in order to defer the need for construction of additional generating capacity and to cost-effectively increase the efficiency of energy use. During 1994, the Company reevaluated its conservation programs, including additional review and consideration of the current and prospective effect of these programs on customer rates and bills. As a result of this reevaluation, the Company phased out several conservation programs and reduced rebate levels for others. In addition, in November 1994 the Company temporarily suspended approval of additional applications for its Custom Rebate Program. By narrowing its conservation offerings, the Company expects to be able to continue to encourage its customers to use energy efficiently without significantly increasing electricity prices. The Company expects approximately 80% of the previously estimated benefits from conservation for approximately 45% of estimated cost.
For residential customers the Company continues to offer rebates for high efficiency heating and air conditioning equipment. These rebates are paid directly to customers when customers buy equipment which significantly exceeds the efficiency of average available equipment.
In 1995, the Company expects to resume operation of its highly successful Custom Rebate Program for commercial customers. This program pays rebates to customers who install energy efficient lighting, motors, heating and cooling systems and other measures. The Company also continues to operate the New Building Design Program, which offers cash incentives as well as technical assistance to developers and designers who incorporate energy efficient designs and equipment in new commercial construction.
During 1994, the Company invested approximately $90 million in energy conservation programs. The Company recovers the costs of its conservation programs in its Maryland jurisdiction through a rate surcharge which amortizes costs over a five year period and permits the Company to earn a return on its conservation investment while receiving compensation for lost revenue. In addition, when the Company's performance exceeds its annual goals, the Company earns a performance bonus. The Company was awarded a bonus of approximately $5 million in 1994 based on its 1993 performance. At the end of 1994 the conservation surcharge in Maryland was $.00338 per kilowatt-hour. In the District of Columbia, conservation costs are amortized over 10 years with an accrued return on unamortized costs. To date, costs have been considered in base rate cases.
In 1994, approximately 151,000 customers participated in continuing energy use management programs which cycle air conditioners and water heaters during peak periods. In addition, the Company operates a commercial load program which provides incentives to customers for reducing energy use during peak periods. Time-of-use rates have been in effect since the early 1980s and currently approximately 60% of the Company's revenue is based on time-of-use rates.
It is estimated that peak load reductions of approximately 525 megawatts have been achieved to date from conservation and energy use management programs and that additional peak load reductions of approximately 380 megawatts will be achieved in the next five years. The Company also estimates that in 1994 energy savings of more than 760 million kilowatt-hours have been realized through operation of its conservation and energy use management programs. During the next five years, the Company plans to expend an estimated $370 million ($86 million in 1995) to encourage the efficient use of electric energy and to reduce the need to build new generating facilities.
Although the Company is continuing its conservation and energy use management efforts, new sources of supply will be needed to assure the future reliability of electric service to the Washington area. These new sources of supply will be provided through the Company's plans for purchases of capacity and energy and through its ongoing construction program.
Purchase of Capacity and Energy -------------------------------
Pursuant to the Company's 1987 long-term capacity purchase agreements with Ohio Edison and Allegheny Power System, the Company is purchasing 450 megawatts of capacity and associated energy through the year 2005. In addition, effective June 1, 1994 through May 31, 1995, the Company is purchasing 147 megawatts of capacity from Pennsylvania Power and Light Company. The Company also has a purchase agreement with SMECO, through 2015, for 84 megawatts of capacity supplied by a combustion turbine installed and owned by SMECO at the Company's Chalk Point Generating Station. The Company is responsible for all costs associated with operating and maintaining the facility.
The Company has been exploring other cost-effective sources of energy and has entered into contracts for two nonutility generation projects which total 270 megawatts of capacity. A 40-megawatt resource recovery facility with which the Company has a contract is now under construction in Montgomery County, Maryland. In addition, the Company has an agreement with Panda Energy Corporation for a 230-megawatt gas-fueled combined-cycle cogeneration project in Prince George's County, Maryland. This project has received a certificate of convenience and necessity from the Maryland Public Service Commission. These nonutility generation projects are expected to begin operating in 1995 and 1996, respectively.
CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM --------------------
The Company carries on a continuous construction program, the nature and extent of which is determined by the Company's strategic planning process which integrates supply-side and demand-side resource options.
From January 1, 1992 to December 31, 1994, the Company made property additions, net of an Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC), of $926 million (of which $298 million were made in 1994) and had property retirements of $122 million (of which $44 million were made in 1994).
The Company's current construction program calls for estimated expenditures, excluding AFUDC, of $215 million in 1995, $170 million in 1996, $210 million in 1997, $240 million in 1998 and $250 million in 1999, an aggregate of $1.1 billion for the five-year period. AFUDC is estimated to be $7 million in 1995, $7 million in 1996, $7 million in 1997, $9 million in 1998 and $10 million in 1999. The 1995-1999 construction program includes approximately $544 million for generating facilities (including $165 million for Clean Air Act compliance), $35 million for transmission facilities, $497 million for distribution, service and other facilities, and $9 million associated with the Company's energy use management programs. Making use of the flexibilities in its long-term construction plan, the Company in 1994 reduced projected expenditures for the five years 1995 through 1999 by $190 million from amounts previously planned. This reduction followed a $365 million reduction in 1993. The construction reductions and deferrals are
associated with lower rates of projected growth in usage of electricity resulting in large part from implementing economical conservation programs. The Company plans to finance its construction program primarily through funds provided by operations.
The construction program includes amounts for the construction of facilities that will not be completed until after 1999. Although the program includes provision for escalation of construction costs, generally at an annual rate of 4%, the aggregate budget for long lead time projects will increase or decrease depending upon the actual rates of inflation in construction costs. The program is reviewed continuously and revised as appropriate to reflect changes in projections of demand, consumption patterns and economic trends.
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA) requires utilities to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in two phases, January 1995 (Phase I) and January 2000 (Phase II). The Company has developed plans for complying with the CAA to achieve prescribed standards in Phases I and II. The Company anticipates capital expenditures totaling $165 million over the next five years pursuant to these plans. The plans call for replacement of boiler burner equipment for nitrogen oxides emissions control, the use of lower-sulfur fuel and cofiring with natural gas at selected baseload plants. The CAA allows companies to achieve required emission levels by using a market-based emission allowance trading system. If economical, emission allowances may be purchased in lieu of burning lower-sulfur fuel.
Installation of scrubbers is not contemplated for the Company's wholly owned plants. Both the District of Columbia and Maryland commissions have approved the Company's plans for meeting Phase I requirements including cost recovery of investment and inclusion of emission allowance expenses in the Company's fuel adjustment clause.
The Company owns a 9.72% undivided interest in the Conemaugh Generating Station located in western Pennsylvania. As a result of installing flue gas scrubbing equipment to meet Phase I requirements of the CAA, this station will receive additional allowances. The Company's share of these "bonus" allowances may be used to reduce the need for lower-sulfur fuel at its other plants. The Company's share of the construction costs is approximately $38 million.
In addition, the final segment of a 500,000 volt transmission line which provides links in the transmission systems of the Company, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company and Virginia Power was placed in service prior to June 1, 1994.
FUEL ----
For customer billing purposes, all of the Company's kilowatt-hour sales are covered by separately stated fuel rates (see Item 8 - Note 2 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements").
The Company's generating units burn only fossil fuels. The principal fuel is coal. The Company owns no nuclear generation facilities and none are planned. The following table sets forth the quantities of each type of fuel used by the Company in the years 1994, 1993 and 1992 and the contribution, on the basis of Btus, of each fuel to energy generated.
1994 1993 1992 -------------- -------------- -------------- % of % of % of Quantity Btu Quantity Btu Quantity Btu -------- ----- -------- ----- -------- -----
Coal (000s net tons) 5,788 76.1 6,010 79.4 5,926 82.9 Residual oil (000s barrels) 4,868 15.7 4,835 15.9 3,294 11.4 Natural gas (000s dekatherms) 10,780 5.5 6,090 3.2 8,200 4.5 No. 2 fuel oil (000s barrels) 919 2.7 480 1.5 376 1.2
The following table sets forth the average cost of each type of fuel burned, for the years shown.
1994 1993 1992 ------ ------ ------
Coal: per ton $44.39 $43.69 $43.66 per million Btu 1.73 1.72 1.72 Residual oil: per barrel 15.31 15.09 14.35 per million Btu 2.44 2.39 2.28 Natural gas: per dekatherm 2.49 2.88 2.32 per million Btu 2.49 2.88 2.32 No. 2 fuel oil: per barrel 24.34 24.98 26.70 per million Btu 4.17 4.30 4.60
The average cost of fuel burned per million Btu was $1.95 in 1994, compared with $1.90 in 1993 and $1.85 in 1992. The increase of approximately 3% in each of the past two years in the system average unit fuel cost resulted from increased use of major cycling and peaking generation units which burn higher cost fuels. The Company's major cycling and certain peaking units can burn natural gas or oil, adding flexibility in selecting the most cost- effective fuel mix. The increase in the actual percent of gas contribution in 1994 to the fuel mix reflects the decreased price of gas and the increased price of oil. The decrease in the actual percent of coal contribution to the fuel mix in 1994 primarily reflects major outages for construction related to Clean Air Act additions on baseload coal-fired generation units.
Ten of the Company's sixteen steam-electric generating units can burn only coal; two can burn only residual oil; two can burn either coal or residual oil or a combination of both and two units can burn either residual oil or natural gas. Those units capable of burning either coal or residual oil normally burn coal as their primary fuel. The Company also has combustion turbines, some of which can burn only No. 2 fuel oil, and others which can burn natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil. The following table provides details of the Company's generating capability from the standpoint of plant configuration as well as actual energy generation (see Item 2




Item 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ------ -----------------
For information regarding pending environmental legal proceedings, see "Environmental Matters" under Item 1 - Business.
The Company was a defendant in employment discrimination litigation which was pending in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. In February 1993, the parties to the case reached tentative settlement of the claims and, in April 1993, the Company paid $38.26 million into a trust fund pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The funds will be disbursed from the trust fund to certain covered classes of current and former employees and applicants for employment and to cover the plaintiffs' legal and expert fees and costs. The Court approved the settlement agreement, effective in July 1993. The Company received insurance payments of $13.5 million in October 1993 and $24 million in January 1994, bringing the total recovered from insurance companies to $37.5 million. At December 31, 1993, approximately $.8 million was charged to non-operating expense. Subsequently, in November 1994, the Company received an additional insurance recovery of $.8 million which was treated as a credit to amounts previously charged to non- operating expense.
