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.
