Exelon (EXC)
Exelon Generation today announced
that the Old Dominion Electric Cooperative awarded it a ten-year
contract commencing on June 1, 2010 to provide 200 MWs of baseload generation
capacity and energy. ODEC awarded Exelon the deal as a result of a
competitive bidding process it initiated in June 2009.
The long-term contract with ODEC fits squarely within Exelon's hedging program
designed to manage market risks to maintain the value of its generation
portfolio. It also shows that there are opportunities for competitively priced
long-term bilateral contracts.

Entergy (ETR)
Entergy remains committed to spinning off five of its nuclear power plants into a stand-alone company, but the company's CEO suggested a possible alternative Tuesday if it can't win regulatory approval in New York.
Entergy Chairman and Chief Executive J. Wayne Leonard said the company could spin off its utility businesses into a stand-alone company to accomplish the same goal of separating its regulated utility businesses concentrated in the Southeast from its nuclear plants that sell power at market prices.
"We don't expect to go down that route, but it is a path to get you back to where you were. It just takes us longer and (requires) more regulatory approvals," said Leonard, speaking at the Edison Electric Institute's financial conference in Florida.

The combined-cycle unit, completed in 2002, becomes one of the most efficient gas-fired units in Entergy Louisiana's fleet and will help lower the utility's fuel costs, Entergy said in a release.

American Electric Power (AEP)
American Electric Power is being required by The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to conduct safety tests on waste impoundments at a West Virginia coal-burning plant to ensure their structural stability.
Although the impoundments at the Philip Sporn plant aren't considered an immediate failure risk, EPA said it was requiring the tests because the structures have similar designs to one that failed last December in Tennessee.
