All network customers in the AP zone receive rebates to hold them harmless from the network rate conversion upon PJM integration. For transmission owners (except those in ATSI, PPL, ComEd, Dayton, and Duquesne zones), the charges for their own transmission facilities are not actually paid (i.e., exempted with an equal amount credits) and are shown only to identify their cost responsibility as ordered by FERC. Low voltage charges also apply for the ATSI zone based on their peak load contribution in each ATSI utility service territory using the applicable customer’s low voltage billing factor for each ATSI service territory. Charges: Daily demand charges calculated as network customers’ daily network service peak load contribution times 1/365th of the applicable zonal rate(s) for the zone(s) in which the network load is located. Monthly negative offset charges are rebated to AP zone network customers based on the applicable rates in PJM tariff Attachment H-11, section 4. Non-zone network service peak load contributions are coincident with the PJM Region peak. Daily low voltage charges are assessed to network customers in the ATSI zone for use of transmission facilities below 138 kV based on their network service peak load contribution MW times the low voltage rate times the percentage of their load serving those facilities. Credits: PJM zonal network transmission service revenues allocated to the applicable zone’s transmission owners on a transmission revenue requirement basis. PJM non-zone network revenues allocated to transmission owners based on transmission revenue requirement ratio shares, with the ComEd, AEP, and Dominion shares further allocated to their respective zonal network customers based on demand charge ratios. |

Transmission Congestion (OpAgr Schedules 1- 3.2.4, 3.4.1, & 5.1-5.2) |
The increased energy costs due to redispatch during hours when the PJM transmission system is constrained are assessed to market participants based on the congestion price component of LMPs, and the revenues collected are allocated to FTR holders. Day-ahead Charges: A day-ahead Net Congestion Bill is calculated hourly as the sum of day-ahead withdrawal charges (i.e., all cleared day-ahead demand/decrement/load response bids and sale transactions priced at applicable buses’ day-ahead congestion prices) minus the sum of day-ahead injection credits (i.e., all cleared day-ahead generation/increment offers and purchase transactions priced at applicable buses’ day-ahead congestion prices). Hourly day-ahead implicit congestion charges equal the day-ahead Net Congestion Bill. Hourly explicit congestion charges for day-ahead energy transactions equal the scheduled MWh times the difference between day-ahead sink and source congestion prices and are assessed to the buyer (or point-to-point transmission customer, if applicable). Balancing Charges: A balancing Net Congestion Bill is calculated hourly as the sum of balancing withdrawal charges (i.e., all deviations between demand/decrement/load response bids and sale transactions cleared day-ahead and real-time load, without losses, and sale transactions priced at the applicable buses’ real-time congestion prices) minus the sum of balancing injection credits (i.e., all deviations between generation/increment offers and purchase transactions cleared day-ahead and real-time generation and purchase transactions priced at the applicable buses’ real-time congestion prices). Hourly balancing implicit congestion charges equal the balancing Net Congestion Bill. Hourly explicit congestion charges for balancing energy transactions equal any real-time deviations from the transaction MWh cleared day-ahead times the difference between realtime sink and source congestion prices and assessed to the buyer (or point-to-point transmission customer, if applicable). Credits: Total congestion revenues allocated as hourly credits based on FTR target allocations (FTR MW times the difference between day-ahead FTR sink and source congestion prices). Excess hourly congestion credits (including NYISO Unscheduled Transmission Service revenues, net MISO congestion adjustment, inadvertent interchange congestion contribution, and ARR and FTR Auction net revenues remaining after initial distribution to any ARR deficiencies) are used to proportionately eliminate target deficiencies in other hours of the month. Any additional excess monthly congestion revenues are allocated to previous deficient months of the planning period with any excess at the end of the planning period allocated proportionately to FTR holders with net positive FTR target allocations for that planning period. Any deficiencies remaining at the end of a planning period are eliminated by reallocating all planning period FTR congestion revenues among FTR holders to yield a uniform ratio of deficiency. Reconciliation Charges: Retail load schedules with reconciliation data (in kWh) provided by the applicable EDC are reconciled on an hourly basis using the applicable source/sink congestion price on a two-month billing lag. |

Transmission Losses (OpAgr Schedules 1- 3.2.5, 3.4.2, & 5.4-5.5) |
The increased costs of energy due to transmission losses represented in the PJM network model are assessed to market participants based on the loss component of LMPs, and the revenues collected are allocated to market participants’ serving load and delivering PJM exports (that pay for PJM transmission service). Day-ahead Charges: An hourly day-ahead Net Loss Bill is calculated as day-ahead withdrawal charges (i.e., all cleared dayahead demand/decrement/load response bids and sale transactions priced at applicable buses’ day-ahead loss prices) minus day-ahead injection credits (i.e., all cleared day-ahead generation/increment offers and purchase transactions priced at applicable buses’ day-ahead loss prices). Hourly day-ahead implicit loss charges equal the day-ahead Net Loss Bill. Hourly explicit loss charges for day-ahead energy transactions equal the scheduled MWh times the difference between day-ahead sink and source loss prices and assessed to the buyer (or point-to-point transmission customer, if applicable). Balancing Charges: An hourly balancing Net Loss Bill is calculated as balancing withdrawal charges (i.e., all deviations between demand/decrement/load response bids and sale transactions cleared day-ahead and real-time load, without losses, and sale transactions priced at the applicable buses’ real-time loss prices) minus balancing injection credits (i.e., all deviations between generation/increment offers and purchase transactions cleared day-ahead and real-time generation and purchase transactions priced at the applicable buses’ real-time loss prices). Hourly balancing implicit loss charges equal the balancing Net Loss Bill. Hourly explicit loss charges for balancing energy transactions equal any real-time deviations from day-ahead transaction MWh times the difference between real-time sink and source loss prices and assessed to the buyer (or point-topoint transmission customer, if applicable). Credits:Total hourly loss revenues, both day-ahead and balancing (including loss contribution of inadvertent interchange) allocated as hourly credits based on ratio shares of real-time load (without losses) plus exports that pay for transmission service (with non-firm exports receiving 31% of their allocation). Reconciliation Charges: Retail load schedules with reconciliation data (in kWh) provided by the applicable EDC are reconciled on an hourly basis using the applicable source/sink loss price on a two-month billing lag. Reconciliation Credits: Retail load schedules with reconciliation data (in kWh) provided by the applicable EDC are reconciled on an hourly basis using a $/MWh billing determinant calculated as the total loss credits divided by the total MWh of PJM real-time load plus exports (that pay for transmission service, with non-firm exports receiving 31% of their allocation) on a two-month billing lag. |

Credits: Annual FTR auction net revenues are allocated as daily credits based on ARR target allocations, which equal the ARR MW (divided by the number of auction rounds) times the difference between auction clearing prices at the ARR sink and source. Any ARR target deficiencies may be proportionately eliminated by any monthly FTR auction net revenues and excess congestion revenues in that planning period. |

RPM Auction (OATT Att. DD, Section 5.14) |
Credits: Each sell offer for generation, demand, or qualified transmission upgrade resource MW cleared in an RPM Auction is paid the applicable resource’s clearing price in the applicable auction. Resource make-whole payments are also provided to sell offers that clear less than the minimum amount specified. Sell offers are adjusted by approved unit-specified transactions for cleared capacity. Charges: Each buy bid MW cleared in an incremental auction adjusted by cleared buy bid transactions pays the applicable LDA’s resource clearing price. Resource make-whole payments for an incremental auction are also allocated as charges to Market Buyers based on the MW shares of cleared buy bids adjusted by cleared buy bid transactions for the incremental auction. Resource make-whole payments for the base residual auction and the portion of the resource make-whole payment for an incremental auction that would be based on PJM cleared buy bids are allocated as charges to LSEs in the applicable LDA via the Final Zonal Capacity Price. |

Capacity Transfer Rights (OATT Att. DD, Section 5.15) |
To recognize the value of import capability to constrained LDAs, Capacity Transfer Rights (CTRs) are allocated to LSEs in those LDAs to offset their higher load charges. Credits: CTRs equal to the unforced capacity imported into the LDA (less any incremental CTRs) are allocated to LSEs in that LDA based on daily unforced capacity obligations. These MW allocations are priced at the difference between the LDA’s clearing price and the unconstrained price. |
CTR Credit Summary |
Incremental Capacity Transfer Rights (OATT Att. DD, Section 5.16) |
Incremental CTRs are provided to fund for transmission upgrades (not including qualifying transmission upgrades cleared in the Base Residual Auction) that increase import capability into a constrained LDA. Credits: Incremental CTR MW are priced at the sum of: 1) locational price adder of the sink LDA minus that of the Source LDA from the Base Residual Auction; and 2) locational price adder of the sink LDA minus that of the source LDA from the Second Incremental Auction multiplied by the increase in unforced capacity imported into the sink LDA in the Second Incremental Auction compared to the Base Residual Auction, divided by the base unforced capacity imported into the sink LDA. |
Incremental CTR Credits |
Auction Specific MW Transaction (OATT Att. DD, Section 5.14) |
Bilateral capacity transactions for multi-day durations are settled in the PJM capacity markets. Charges: Sellers are charged for the transaction MW times the transaction’s pricing point for each day for which the transaction is in effect. Credits: Buyers are credited for the transaction MW times the transaction’s pricing point for each day for which the transaction is in effect. |

Demand Resource and ILR Compliance Penalty (OATT Att. DD, Section 11) |
Sellers with zonal aggregate committed Demand Resources or nominated ILR that cannot demonstrate hourly real-time performance pay a penalty charge which is allocated to Demand Resource and ILR providers and, potentially, LSEs. This billing is performed on a three-month lag. Charges: For each non-compliant reduction event, under-compliance MW (on an unforced capacity basis) are charged at the lesser of one divided by the actual number of events during the year or 0.50 of the Weighted Annual Revenue Rate. The Weighted Annual Revenue Rate equals the average rate for all cleared Demand Resources and certified ILR, weighted by the MWs cleared or certified at each price, multiplied by the number of days in the Delivery Year. The total Compliance Penalty Charge for the Delivery Year is capped at the annual revenue received for such resources. Credits: Revenues from events in a given month are allocated to Demand Resource and ILR Providers that reduced in excess of their commitment. Any resource credit by event is capped at their excess MW times 1/5th of their Annual Revenue Rate. Revenues above that cap are allocated to LSEs based on their average daily unforced capacity obligations during the month of the event. |

Generation Deactivation (OATT Part V) |
Revenues are collected for generators requesting retirement where PJM studies find reliability issues that require the generation to continue operating. Cost allocations to zonal load and firm withdrawal rights are determined by PJM based on the beneficiaries. These responsible customers pay the generation owners a share of the Deactivation Avoidable Cost Rate or the FERC-approved Cost of Service Recovery Rate. Any time that the zonal cost allocations change, notice is provided to the Markets and Reliability Committee, Market Implementation Committee, and Market Settlements Working Group prior to the change being implemented. Charges: Charges are being collected for a unit in the PSEG zone based on a Cost of Service Recovery Rate which is expected to end after August 2012. From September 2010 through August 2012, monthly charges are allocated on a one-month lag in accordance with the following study results: http://www.pjm.com/planning/generation-retirements/~/media/planning/gen-retire/2011-and-2012-zonal-cost-allocation-for-retaining-husdon-unit-1-generator.ashx. Since Hudson Transmission Partners’ facility is not yet in service, their charges must be deferred resulting in the following normalized cost allocations: AE (0.61494%), ComEd (2.15787%), JCPL (8.95572%), Neptune (4.08095%), PenElec (2.23614%), ECP (3.17531%), PSEG (75.78265%), and RECO (2.99642%).
