Purchased Power Management
Wholesale load for the month of September was 56,994 MWhs versus a three year historic weather
normalized load of 61,170 MWhs. Hedged transactions accounted for 53,440 MWhs or 93.8% of
this volume (87.4% of forecasted load) at a cost of $4.2 million. Spot Market purchases resulted in a
PJM charge of $192 thousand ($197 thousand charge in the Day Ahead market and a $5 thousand
credit in the real time market). Other PJM related charges accounted for an additional $1.4 million
cost, inclusive of all load related fees. October All-In Energy Unit Cost, excluding capacity
obligations and credits was $3.81/MWh favorable compared to the budget for October 2009 of
$89.63/MWh. For the year, projected All-In Energy Unit Cost is $96.83/MWh, $3.32/MWh
favorable compared to budget; based on YTD actual 4 months results and 8 months projected costs.
Generation and Asset Management
For the month of October McKee Run and Van Sant units did not dispatch into the PJM market. A
relatively low average on-peak LMPs for the month demonstrated that the PJM system did not
generally require support from the peaking units. The budget also did not project generation for this
month.
Emissions and Allowance Management
As shown in Exhibit 1, during the month of October, Dover neither generated emissions nor sold
allowances. Year-to-date, Dover has sold 1,500 SO2 allowances at a price of $86.00 per allowance
generating $128,250 ($129,000 in gross sales less $750 in broker fees). The $128,250 represents
59% of the budgeted sales for SO2 while 1,500 SO2 allowances represents 55% of the 2009
allocation and 25% of the total SO2 inventory. As of October 31, Dover held a total inventory of
4,462 tons SO2 allowances comprised of 2,722 tons of 2009 vintage allowances, 1,432 tons of 2008
vintage and 308 tons of vintage 2007 SO2 allowances. The City also held 65 tons of 2009 vintage

NOx seasonal allowances and 46 tons of 2009 vintage NOx Annual. The City did not have an
inventory of NOx allowances from prior years.

Notes:
(1) Revenue calculations account for a $.50/ton broker fee for SO2 and a $10/ton broker fee for NOx.
(2) Per the Clean Air Interstate Rule, in 2009, NOx emissions will be governed by a seasonal and annual program.
The NOx seasonal emissions pertain only to emissions (May 1 – Sep 30), similar to the previous trading regimen.
Annual emissions cover the entire year.
(3) The 2009 initial allowance allocation accounts for the reinstatement of CAIR while new SO2 and NOx emissions
rules are completed. These allocations may changes as the rulemaking process continues.
During the October 15, 2009 Management Committee meeting, the Committee resolved to sell a
sufficient quantity of allowances to achieve it budget. On November 5th, 2009 and November 6th,
2009, Dover entered into transactions to sell 45 NOX annual allowances at a price of $670 per
allowance and 1,410 SO2 allowances at a price of $81.00 per allowance. Additionally, Dover is in
the process of completing the sale of 25 NOX seasonal allowances at a price of $110 per allowance.
After deducting brokerage transaction fees, these transactions will net Dover $145,830 in revenue.
Including the revenue generated from the October sale of 1,500 SO2 allowances, Dover’s total
revenue for the 2009-2010 fiscal year is $274,080 (see exhibit 1). Dover’s budgeted revenue for all
allowance sales during the 2009-2010 fiscal year was $274,000. Provided the sale for the 25 NOX
seasonal allowances is completed as planned, Dover will have met their budgeted revenue
requirements.

Given current dispatch expectations, the market value of the remaining 2007-2009 Dover allowance
inventory assuming all transactions initiated in November are consumated is approximately $265
thousand at the time of this report. This represents 3,052 SO2 allowances trading at $82, 21
Seasonal NOx allowances trading at $110, and 21 Annual NOx trading at $600.

Operations Management Summary
During the month of October, there were no employee or contractor related OSHA injuries,
illnesses, or time loss accidents. The facility has now gone 277 days without an OSHA recordable
accident and 1,916 consecutive days without a lost time reportable accident. There were zero
Environmental Notices of Violations issued. There were two Near Miss Events that occurred during
the month. Planned maintenance outages were completed on McKee Run Units 1 and 2 during the
month.
There were no unit dispatches by PJM for the generating units at McKee Run or the unit at VanSant.
Monthly Budget Variance - The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for the month
of October were $349,411. The expenses were $63,279 or 1.09% under the approved budget of
$412,690. The principal reasons for the positive variance are due to lower water and electric usage in
September and October.
Risk Management Summary
Both spot and forward natural gas prices have slumped moderately as the unseasonably warm
temperatures have helped prevent a rally. The forward curve has become more contango, with the
front end of the curve shifting lower and the back end of the curve remaining relatively unchanged
from last month’s report. As the result of natural gas price stagnation, forward PJM power prices
have taken on a more contango shape as well.

2.2 – VARIANCE ANALYSIS
Power Supply
• As discussed during the June, 2009 Management Committee, City of Dover’s approved
budget established in April utilized a preliminary PJM Base Residual Auction values. On
June 2nd 2009, PJM announced the final Base Residual Auction for the current FY that
resulted in an increase of $5.25 per MW.day UCAP charge ($196.57). In addition PJM also
discovered and corrected errors to the variables that calculate the current FY UCAP
Obligation. Collectively these charges will result in unfavorable variances each month; and
in September the unfavorable variance resulted in $5,390.
• The PJM Charges for Load experienced a positive $588 thousand variance due to 6.7%
reduction in demand that displaced the expected Open Position by the same amount; a $136
thousand favorable Basis variance; and a $151 thousand favorable Load Following variances
for the month. Furthermore, there was a $17 thousand favorable variance in transmission
costs, thousand favorable variance in the PJM ancillary charges and a $11 thousand favorable
variance in transmission rights credits for the month. Offsetting these favorable variances
was a $73 thousand unfavorable variance in the transmission loss refund.
• For the month a favorable $588 thousand net variance between the Power Supply (fixed
positions) and PJM Charges Load (Open positions and transmission etc) was realized
through a favorable $341 thousand variance caused by the change in volume and a favorable
$247 thousand variance caused by the change in price. Hence, 58% of the variance can be
attributed to the change in the volume.
• The Power Supply Management variance is merely an estimate at this point.
Generations
• Plant O&M resulted in a favorable variance of $63 thousand compared to the approved
budget of $413 thousand due to due to lower water and electric usage in September and
October.

• Actual Dover load of 56,994 MWh was 6.7% below the projected October load of 61,170
MWh.
• The All In Unit Energy Cost resulted in an favorable $3.81 per MWh variance due to lower
than anticipated open position energy costs due to a favorable Basis variance; and favorable
Load Following variances for the month. Furthermore there was a favorable variance in
transmission costs, PJM ancillary charges and transmission rights credits. Offsetting these
favorable variances was transmission loss refund for the month.
• The Management Incentive fee variance on a $/MWh basis is merely an estimate at this
point.

3.3 - EMISSIONS AND ALLOWANCE MANAGEMENT
On November 5th, 2009 and November 6th, 2009, Dover agreed to sell 45 NOX annual allowances at
a price of $670 per allowance and 1,410 SO2 allowances at a price of $81.00 per allowance.
Additionally, Dover is still in the process of completing a contract for the sale of 25 NOX seasonal
allowances at a price of $110 per allowance. After deducting brokerage transaction fees, these
transactions will net Dover $145,830 in revenue. Including the revenue generated from the October
sale of 1,500 SO2 allowances, Dover’s total revenue for the 2009-2010 fiscal year is $274,080 (see
exhibit 1). Dover’s budgeted revenue for all allowance sales during the 2009-2010 fiscal year was
$274,000. Provided the sale for the 25 NOX seasonal allowances is completed as planned, Dover
will have met their budgeted revenue requirements.
Dover has emitted 1 ton of SO2, 6 tons of NOX during the NOX seasonal period, and 12 tons of NOX
Annual – these emissions levels remain unchanged from the previous monthly report. All units
operated for testing purposes, and the appropriate allowance deductions are noted in the table below.

Notes:
(1) Revenue calculations account for a $.50/ton broker fee for SO2 and a $10/ton broker fee for NOx.
(2) Per the Clean Air Interstate Rule, in 2009, NOx emissions will be governed by a seasonal and annual program.
The NOx seasonal emissions pertain only to emissions (May 1 – Sep 30), similar to the previous trading regimen.
Annual emissions cover the entire year.
(3) The 2009 initial allowance allocation accounts for the reinstatement of CAIR while new SO2 and NOx emissions
rules are completed. These allocations may changes as the rulemaking process continues.

SO2
The SO2 allowance market slumped during the last month with the most recent market closing price
at $73/ton, down from the mid to low $80/ton range for much of September and October. Overall,
SO2 prices remain down as market participants await the release of the new CAIR rules. Sometime
in 2010, EPA is expected to release re-promulgated CAIR rules in response to the DC Circuits
remand of the original CAIR rules. Additionally, EPA is set to deliver new short-term standards for
SO2 due November 16, 2009. 6 EPA is expected to adopt a new one-hour national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS) in the range of 50-75 parts per billion (ppb). The NAAQS is currently a
24-hour daily maximum concentration of 140 ppb.
Regulatory uncertainty combined with continued low projected emissions for 2009 continue to drive
PACE’s belief that trading for SO2 will be relatively flat for the remainder of the year, with prices
likely to stay at or near current price levels. SO2 prices fell over 10% over the last month in
moderate to light trading, however Dover completed a sale for their SO2 allowances before the
market for SO2 allowances dropped significantly in November (detail to be provided in November
2009 Monthly Report).

NOx
Annual NOx allowance prices fluctuated between $580/ton and $700/ton before closing most
recently at $645/ton, up from $600/ton a month ago. Seasonal NOX continued to slide, trading most
recently at $107.50/ton down from $130.00/ton in mid-October.
As with the SO2 market, the NOX markets remain in flux as uncertainty surrounds future regulations
as replacement rules for CAIR will likely not be released until mid-2010. Lower 2009 emissions,
combined with better than expected emissions control installations (SCR, SNCR, low- NOX burners,
etc.) continue to limit the NOX markets.

The new EPA short-term rules for SO2 have not yet been released as of the drafting of this memo.

SO2 and NOx Outlook
SO2 and NOX market participants continue to look to Washington D.C. for some regulatory certainty
without any avail. While volume in both NOx and SO2 were higher than in past months, activity is
still tepid as market making clarity, in the form of regulation, is lacking. With health care, climate
change and energy continuing to capitalize most of the attention in congress, it is unlikely that new
legislation regulating these pollutants will take place any time soon. As such, EPA will continue to
work towards re-promulgating the CAIR rules.
Pace continues to closely monitor the NOx and SO2 markets and will provide Dover with
assessments of allowance allocations, liquidity, and value as information becomes available.
RGGI and Federal Carbon Outlook
RGGI market prices fluctuated between $2.28/ton and $2.34/ton, with the most recent trades at
$2.29/ton. RGGI prices have remained fairly steady the last month and a half as market participants
wait for the results of the December 2 allowance auction. RGGI prices are not expected to increase
much, if at all, in the near term as 2009 U.S. CO2 emissions projections continue to be below that of
2008 emissions. The over allocation of RGGI have led to a healthy allowance bank further pushing
RGGI allowance prices down. Based on projected generation and emissions Dover is projected to
have an excess of 70,000 allowances through 2013 with a market value at current prices of
$160,300.

The conversion potential of RGGI allowances into federal allowance volume in a national carbon
market remains the main support for RGGI pricing. Under both the House passed climate bill and
Senate draft climate bill, RGGI allowances would be eligible for federal allowance exchange based
on the average auction clearing price for the year the RGGI allowance was issued. For example, for
2009 vintage allowances, the average auction clearing price for this year’s first three auctions is just
under $3.00/ton. If in 2012, federal allowances were being auctioned for $12/ton, 2009 vintage
RGGI allowances could be traded in at a ratio of 4:1 (4 RGGI allowances would equal 1 federal
allowance).
Passage of comprehensive climate legislation continues to look less and less likely for 2009 as many
issues remain unresolved and in debate including, allowance allocations, international trade
provisions, and oversight of the carbon offset program. PACE continues to project passage of
climate legislation between the end of this year and Q3 of 2011.

The original budget for October is $412,690. The actual expenses for October are $349,411 for a
favorable variance of $63,279 or approximately 1.09%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES - Labor, overtime, and burdens accounted for a total unfavorable
variance of $643 due primarily to filling shifts due to illness or flex time which offset the savings
realized from not filling the open position at this time.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES- A favorable variance of $26,851 was due to no
generation in September and October resulting in lower water costs than originally budgeted.
Money allocated in October for the purchase of water chemicals was not incurred due to the present
inventory at the plant.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – A favorable variance of $37,071 was due largely to timing of
expenses in the insurance account. The funds budgeted for October were included in the payment
made in July. In addition, electric costs were less than anticipated due to the no generation in
October. Home Office Labor costs were lower than budgeted.
With four months of actual costs expensed, the plant budget is currently forecasted to finish this
fiscal year at $5,574,213 expensed versus $5,798,711 budgeted putting the budget at a 96.13% rate.

Team Report:
The Operation teams completed testing the new air atomizing compressor for use on Unit #3 during
start up when natural gas is too expensive or unavailable. The unit has a designated burner with a
dedicated oil gun tip just for start up on the unit so the plant is not dependent on natural gas as well
as providing substantial savings by not having the expense of paying for firm prices for gas. There
were three days of testing in which adjustments to the air pressures, oil pressure and burner scanners
achieved the proper boiler temperature ramp rate. The final test included ramping the boiler up until
sufficient steam was available to atomize the fuel oil and continue with ramping up the boiler to a
state that the turbine-generator could be rolled up for eventual synchronization to the grid. A
procedure has been written and will be implemented.
The operation teams continue to work with maintenance removing all the non-asbestos insulation
and lagging from the abandoned oil lines and hot water lines from the railroad car unloading station
to the truck unloading station at McKee Run. The teams are also removing the non-asbestos
insulation and lagging from the now abandoned hot water lines used to heat the #6 oil from the main
building to the truck unloading station. Once the insulation is removed, the pipeline is then properly
drained, cut into smaller sections, placed into a collection dumpster and then sold as scrap.
The teams are continuing to train to complete and review their EDQP program. The operators use
the program to train for a position desired and also as a review of programs as well reinforce current
knowledge. The General Physics and the PJM on line courses are used in the training as well.
Teams continued training within the Plant Readiness Program (PRP) to keep their skills and
knowledge of the plant up to date particularly when the generating units are off line or when they are
not supporting maintenance activities. The GPI online training which supports our safety and
environmental training are being used by the teams to complete their training. GPI also has a number
of courses that are used to support operator advancement and refresher training.

6.0 General Plant Information
Training
Plant employees continue working on their General Physics topics during the month. The inclusion
of these courses has provided opportunities for increased knowledge of plant operations, to satisfy
OSHA and PJM requirements, and to build a solid foundation for cross training employees at the
City of Dover generation facilities. Many of these courses are included in the Employee
Qualification program that will help prepare operators for advancement within the line of
progression jobs.
The PJM Generation Systems Operator exam study groups continue again for the month with
different study topics. The study group focuses on subjects that are covered on the exam such as
Emergency procedures. The class topics have been Weather and Environmental Emergencies and
Sabotage and Terrorism Emergencies.
Topics discussed during the monthly safety committee meeting were reviewed by the entire staff.
There was information provided on the H1N1 virus. This month’s safety topic was “Work Related
Stress”.
Other Events
The cooling tower project has been tentatively approved. Repairs slated for the current fiscal year
will be expensed out of the current O & M Budget. Subsequent years funding will come from the
Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) budget. Repairs will be addressed over a three year period
which provides improved reliability and efficiency to both cooling towers.
The Mark IV Controls Replacement project is in the bid evaluation process. Due to the number of
bids and options provided by the various vendors it is a somewhat tedious process. It is expected that
a selection will be made sometime in the next several weeks.
The Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) were developed by plant staff and were submitted at the
end of October for the City of Dover and Pace to review. The plant’s budget is still under
development and is still ongoing. The expected submittal to Pace for review will be in early
November.
The planned maintenance outages were completed on Units #1 & #2. The Unit 1 outage was 104.50
hours and the Unit 2 outage was 80.750 hours. The inspections went well with some
recommendations for future more detailed work. During the outage plant personnel had a chance to
look at the multicyclone separators to better plan for their removal. The projects are Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP) for each unit in this fiscal year. The plant had also recently received
official confirmation letters from DNREC which specified the NOx emission rates for Units 1, 2 and
3 and in a separate letter agreed with the plant’s request to remove the multicyclones. The
multicyclone letter also provided information regarding what submittals to the DNREC will be
needed that will allow for a permanent removal as well as removal from the Administrative portion
Dover Monthly PGAM Report October 2009 - Final

of the Title V Operating Permit. The NOx emission limits for Units 1 & 2 will be 0.300 lb/mmbtu
and for Unit 3 the limit will be 0.308 lb/mmbtu. These are both average rates for the 24-hour
period/one calendar day.
The installation of the Atomizing Air Compressor was completed along with the testing. Testing was
done by putting A-3 oil burner using a start-up burner tip designed to bring the boiler up on
temperature within limits not to over-fire the boiler. The boiler was brought up to temperature and
pressure to switch over to the atomizing steam oil gun. This equipment allows for the plant to
become independent of the natural gas supply which normally is extremely difficult to acquire
during the winter mornings when the commercial and residential demand is high. This project has
the potential to save approximately $250,000 a year on a firm gas contract. Testing for start-up of
Units 1 & 2 will occur in November once the new start-up tips arrive. The burners on Units 1 and 2
utilize mechanical atomization of the oil for the combustion process.
Four people from the Operations group at the NAES facility at Benning Road in Washington, DC
recently toured the McKee Run facility on a fact finding mission. The reason for the tour is that the
Benning Road plant may have to start burning #2 fuel oil. At the present time, they are burning #4
fuel oil and wanted to see how we are operating since McKee Run converted to #2 fuel oil and to
find out if we had any major problems with equipment or operation, as well as understand our
“Lessons Learned” from the project.

III. GLOSSARY
All In Unit Energy Cost ("AIE") accounts for the wholesale energy costs excluding capacity
obligations, capacity credits for Dover-owned generation, generation revenues, generating plant
costs, the black start ancillary services credit for the Van Sant plant, and revenues associated with
the sale of emission allowances. The AIE includes the costs from settling the hedged or forward
transactions; the energy bought on the ISO (Independent System Operator or PJM) day-ahead to
cover the open position (un-hedged); load following costs associated with balancing the actual load
in the ISO real-time market; energy management service related fees; the ISO transmission charges
and credits to load serving entities; the ISO ancillary services charges such as generation regulation,
spinning reserve, and reactive power; and the ISO administrative charges and cost of service
recovery fees.
All In Cost of Service ("AICS") accounts for the net cost of wholesale power to the City of Dover
Electric Utility. The AICS starts with the AIE and adds the costs or credits from capacity
obligations, capacity credits for Dover-owned generation, generation revenues, generating plant
costs, the black start ancillary services credit for the Van Sant plant, and revenues associated with
the sale of emission allowances.
Black Start is a generating ancillary service that is the process of restoring a generating plant to
service without the support of an external power supply to power auxiliary equipment needed for
start up operations.
Capacity UCAP Obligated Purchased is the obligation and payment by all load serving entities in
PJM including Dover for the Unforced Capacity (UCAP) requirement from PJM that satisfies the
PJM reserve requirements.
Generation Capacity Credit: is the credit provided to generators for supply capcity to the system.
The price is determined by the PJM Reliability Pricing Market auction process that includes three
auctions for each capacity year.
Generation Production Margin accounts for the variable margin excluding variable O&M and
emissions. The Generation Production Margin is calculated by taking the PJM revenues credited to
the plant including any balancing charges or credits less the fuel costs. Generation Production
Margin includes both “Economic and reliability dispatch” and “Testing.” Economic and reliability
dispatch equals the margin achieved when Dover’s generating plants are dispatched by PJM for
either economic dispatch (the system energy price is greater than the Dover bid price) or reliability
dispatch whereby PJM pays the generating cost of the plants for the hours the plant is run to support
the system. Generation Testing equals the Generation Production Margin associated with testing.
This is usually expected to be a negative margin because the plant is potentially being dispatched /
run when energy prices do not cover its costs.
Non-Production Revenue equals the credits from PJM to Dover for Generation Capacity Credit, the
Black Start Revenue and the sales by Dover of Emission Allowances.
