EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Generation, Operations and Asset Management
Net generation for the month of April credited by PJM was 85 MWh, as compared to a budget of 1,800
MWh. VanSant Unit 11 experienced a real time run for 2.7 hours on April 28th on dispatch by PJM. A
compressor off-line water wash was also performed on the Van Sant 11 just prior to its’ annual
maintenance outage. Unit 11 internal borescope inspections during the outage provided preliminary
feedback that appears positive. A final assessment and report on Unit 11 is due in May.

During the month of April, North American Energy Services (“NAES”) reported that there were no lost
time accidents, OSHA reportable incidents or environmental Notice of Violations. The Employee-Plant
Safety Committee held a lunch time cook-out in April to commemorate two years of accident free
operation. The plant was notified by DNREC that they had approved an alternate procedure for
monitoring the McKee Run Fuel Oil Tank #1 and Oil Inventory until an out of service inspection can be
completed. This inspection must be completed no later than June 1, 2008. NAES and PACE are studying
scenarios to optimize the remaining #6 fuel oil inventory prior to the June 2008 deadline.
Costs attributable to the operations of the McKee Run and VanSant stations for April were $130,991
below a budget of $443,106 due to favorable variances in personnel, administrative, EH&S, maintenance
and operating costs. For power year 2006-07, operations are $916,293 below a budget of $4,687,228.
Energy Management
Wholesale load for the month of April was 56,152 MWhs versus a three year historic load of 56,000
MWhs. Purchased power (or hedges) accounted for 60,720 MWhs of this volume at a cost of $4.47
million. Purchases and sales as well as other PJM related charges accounted for an additional credit of
$77,370, inclusive of all load related fees. Total purchased power cost for the month of April was $4.61

million resulting in an all in monthly cost of power (including fees) of $82.19/MWh, or $1.81/MWh
below the targeted annual average of $84.00/MWh.

Risk Management
PJM wholesale power prices continued to experience upward movement throughout the forward price
periods since the last reporting period (ending 4/19/07). For example, the average forward on-peak
price for the upcoming Power Year 2008/2009 increased by $2.00 per MWh, or 2.2 percent, while the
average forward Off peak price for the Power Year 2008/2009 increased by $1.48 per MWh, or 1.7
percent. This upward movement is indicative of the persistent market volatility that the City’s risk
management program is designed to manage. The City’s expected wholesale cost-of-service for 2007-
08 and 2008-09, and to a lesser extent for 2009-10, is significantly insulated from such adverse price
movements.
Pace Global and the City have implemented several major components of a comprehensive hedging
strategy for power year 2008-09 and beyond. At the April 19 ERMC meeting, the structure and
objectives of the program were ratified; these consist thus far of integrated programmatic and
discretionary hedging decision protocols designed to work together to ensure stable, predictable power
prices for the City’s ratepayers for the next several power years. Pace Global anticipates that the
program structure will be enhanced at the next ERMC meeting to include defensive hedging protocols.
The first element of the programmatic hedging strategy targeting peak usage was implemented in two
sets of purchases on April 24 and May 8.

Monthly Market Management Highlights
• Aggregate Day Ahead demand was up slightly from last month. Favorable real time purchases
resulted in load following costs well-below budget despite a volatile Real Time PJM market.
The City of Dover should expect invoices from the suppliers with whom they have entered into electric
supply deals. The table below provides a list of counterparties, price, and the total cost per deal. The
City of Dover was over hedged for the month of April, resulting in an overall PJM invoice credit for the
credit of $77,370.

Emissions and Allowance Management
One thousand tons of 2006/2007 vintage SO2 allowances were sold on April 19th, resulting in the current
emissions allowance balances shown in the table below. This sale included 673 tons of 2006 vintage SO2
allowances and 327 of 2007 vintage SO2 allowances. Dover generation has 2385 tons of SO2 allowances
remaining in 2007.
EMISSIONS & ALLOWANCE SUMMARY
Allowance Allowance Emissions Emissions Allowances Allowances Allowance
Vintage Allocation Month YTD Sold Month Sold YTD Balance
SO2 – 2006 2725 n/a 521 673 2673 0
SO2 – 2007 2723 0 11 327 327 2385
NOx – 20072 198 0 0 0 0 198
Notes:
(1) An adjustment to the fuel oil sulfur content resulted in a lowering of SO2 emissions estimates for 2006.
(2) NOx emissions pertain only to Seasonal emissions (May 1 – Sep 30)
On April 19th, a sale of 1,000 tons of 2006/2007 vintage SO2 allowances was made to Louis Dreyfus
Energy Service, LP. The transaction netted $466.50 per ton or $466,500 for the City. Combined with the
170 tons NOx credits sold in 2006 for $950 net per ton (yielding $161,500) and the prior 2000 ton SO2
sale (yielding $853,500), net emissions allowance sales revenue for the 2006-07 power year is $1,481,500
After the transactions referenced above, the City of Dover has 2,385 vintage 2007 SO2 allowances
remaining. If McKee Run and Van Sant units experience operating conditions similar to 2006, the City of
Dover will have approximately 2,350 excess 2007 vintage SO2 allowances this year.
No activity occurred with respect to City of Dover NOx allowances. Note that NOx allowance retirement
is only applicable to generation during the Ozone Season or generation between May 1 and September 30
of each calendar year. For 2007, the City of Dover has 198 tons of NOx allowances. Based on previous
year operating statistics, approximately 173 tons of NOx allowances will be available for trade.
SO2 price have been steadily rising over the last two weeks and are currently approximately $585 per ton.
Current NOx allowance market prices are stable between $950 and $1000 per ton. PGAM and the City
will discuss timing for additional allowance sales.

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Monthly Operations Management Highlights:
• Van Sant Unit 11 operated for 2.7 hrs, producing 85 MWh for sale into the PJM real time
market.
• There were no lost time accidents, OSHA reportable incidents or environmental Notice of
Violations associated with the generation stations in April.
• We completed the annual outage on Unit 11 on time and ahead of the anticipated scheduled. Prior
to the outage, an off line water wash was performed on the compressor at VanSant. During the
outage, we received our annual borescope inspection from Advanced Turbine Support, Inc., with
no red flags showing up.
• NAES and Pace conducted PJM Operator training during the month of April, and operators
continue with monthly online PJM training in order to meet PJM training requirements and for
further exam preparation.
• The Employee-Plant Safety Committee conducted a lunch time cook out to commemorate two
years of accident-free operation. Dover Mayor Steven Speed, Dover City Manager Tony DePrima
and representatives of Pace Global, Fred James and Keith Mills were among the honored guests in
attendance to acknowledge the two-year milestone.
• The plant was notified by the DNREC Tank Management Branch that they had approved an
alternate procedure for monitoring the McKee Run Fuel Oil Tank #1 and Oil Inventory until an
Out-of-Service Tank inspection can be completed. The inspection must be completed no later than
June 1, 2008.

Unit Trips/Outages/Operations
During the month, Unit 11 was operated for 2.7 hours on April 28 on dispatch by PJM. In addition, a
compressor off-line water-wash was performed on the unit early in the month and just prior to its’ annual
maintenance outage.
In April, the Unit 11 Annual Outage was completed during which a borescope inspection was performed
on the compressor. Preliminary feedback from the inspector as to the condition of the unit was very
positive. Final results and an assessment of the unit is expected in early May. Other outage work
included the calibration of instrument transmitters and gauges, inspection of the stack, inspection of
electrical bus work, GE TIL work and preventative maintenance on all rotating electrical and mechanical
equipment.
Other Events
We had several members of our staff attend a two day training session at the General Physics facility to
gain the knowledge to set up the plant on the GPILearn on-line training system. Since their return to the
plant, a course schedule has been set up and staff members will begin begun taking the on-line instruction
courses in early May, 2007. The General Physics website based training will be utilized in several plant
programs including the Operational Readiness Plan and the Employee Development and Qualification
Program (EDQP) as well as meeting annual OSHA training requirements.

After months of discussion and providing information to the DNREC Tank Management Branch, they
have approved an alternate procedure to be followed until an Out-of-Service Inspection can be completed
on the McKee Run Fuel Oil Tank #1. Under the alternate procedure, the plant will need to supply
DNREC with visual inspection documentation and oil tank inventory information on a monthly basis until
the Out-of-Service Inspection is completed. We have been mandated by DNREC to have this inspection
completed no later than June 1, 2008.
A meeting with the DNREC Air Quality Management Branch was held to discuss the Delaware
Regulation 1146 Compliance Plan presented by the City of Dover for Unit 3 in March. DNREC had
evaluated the options and this meeting was an opportunity to discuss their evaluation with the City of
Dover representatives. Based on these discussions, a compliance plan continues to be developed further
by the City of Dover with input from NAES and Pace Global personnel.
In our efforts to continuously improve, we continue to investigate installation of Automatic Generation
Control (AGC) on Unit 3 and on Unit 11. This improvement, if achievable, would provide an even
greater value to these units during periods of operation. Also included in the improvement effort, we have
been actively been working with Pace Global to develop competitive bidding strategies in the PJM market
that could provide more operating opportunities for all our units, thereby increasing electric generation
revenue. Some of these strategies have been implemented since our initial discussions and we expect to
see positive results from these in the near future.
The final version of the XL Insurance Report was provided to the plant in April with several
recommendations. Some of these findings have already been addressed and other findings are being
researched to determine best methodology of completing the tasks. The insurance inspectors were very
impressed with the condition of the plant and have provided additional information and recommendations
in the timing of major inspections on the McKee Run steam turbines.
The Employee-led Plant Safety Committee and the Maintenance Staff were recipients of a fantastic
breakfast prepared by Phil Marvel, Plant Electrician and Dean Blaha, Plant Manager. The breakfast was
offered up in the Plant’s 2006 United Way Silent Auction by Phil (2006 Plant United Way Chairman) and
Dean as a way to raise funds for the Plant’s United Way Campaign. The breakfasts were purchased by
Paul Greenage, Maintenance Supervisor and Ken Beard, O & M Manager who then invited the teams to
be their guests for the feast. Plant staff continues to support the United Way and its’ mission and is
currently planning for the coming campaign year.
Leading Edge Turbine Technologies (LETT) has received the fuel nozzles for inspection, flow testing and
repairs. The repairs should take four to eight weeks and once the nozzles are returned, they will be placed
into the plant inventory as a spare set. We have asked for an analysis from LETT to help us determine the
exact cause of the damage to the fuel nozzles. We have yet to receive this analysis.

Environmental, Health and Safety
During the month of April, there were no employee or contractor related injuries or illnesses. As a follow
up to the emergency evacuation drill held at the McKee Run facility during the month of March, we have
purchased status boards for employees and visitors to help us identify all individuals on site at all times.
The boards have magnetic buttons to indicate whether or not employees are IN or OUT of the building.
All employees should be trained in the use of the new attendance system and the boards should be in full
use by May 12, 2007.
The Employee-Plant Safety Committee conducted a lunch time cook out to commemorate two years of
accident-free operation. Dover Mayor Steven Speed, Dover City Manager Tony DePrima and
representatives of Pace Global, Fred James and Keith Mills were among the honored guests in attendance
to acknowledge the two-year milestone.
The plant was notified by the DNREC Tank Management Branch that they had approved an alternate
procedure for monitoring the McKee Run Fuel Oil Tank #1 and Oil Inventory until an Out-of-Service
Tank inspection can be completed. The inspection must be completed no later than June 1, 2008. The
DNREC Tank Management Branch has requested monthly data collection and submission of the data to
the department until the inspection has been completed. The plant will compile this information and send
to DNREC at the end of each month in order to honor their request
Quarterly EDR’s (Electronic Data Reports) were filed for McKee Run Unit 3 and VanSant Unit 11. The
audit feedback from the EPA and the Clean Air Market Division MDC check (Monitoring Plan Data
Checking Software) stated that no errors were found.

Operations Financial Summaries
Operating Costs for the month of April were $312,115 against a budget of $443,106. A favorable
variance in personnel, administrative, EH&S, maintenance and operations contributed to this variance.
Power Year to Date variances are favorable by $916,293, based on actual costs of $3,770,935 against a
budget of $4,687,228. Summaries for the month and year to date are as follows.

Analysis of Budget Variance
For the month of April, NAES had a favorable variance of $130,991. The variance was due to the
following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – Favorable variance of $21,542 due to lower overtime and burdens due to
low run time that accounted for the majority of the total variance.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Favorable variance of $65,829 which was partially due to insurance
premiums budgeted on a monthly basis were paid in a lump sum payment in August. Also, money
budgeted in April for the fuel oil tank inspection (50K) was actually spent in January.
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, AND SAFETY EXPENSES - Favorable variance of $1,606 due to a
zero non-hazardous waste disposal expense and no water sampling invoices.
MAINTENANCE EXPENSES- Favorable variance of $18,562 due to the City of Dover crediting a few of
the major accounts for items that were previously charged out to these accounts but were actually
inventory purchases. Expenses for some of the other maintenance accounts were lower due to minimal run
time.
Proprietary & Confidential 14 Dover Monthly PGAM Report April 2007 - Final
Página 20
OPERATING EXPENSES – Favorable variance of $23,452 due primarily to not being billed for McKee
Run auxiliary electric usage and for low water usage (limited operational run time). This has been
corrected with the City Electric Department and we should expect to receive McKee Run electric bills in
future months.

RISK MANAGEMENT
PJM wholesale power prices continued to experience upward movement throughout the forward price
periods since the last reporting period (ending 4/19/07). For example, the average forward on-peak
price for the upcoming Power Year 2008/2009 increased by $2.00 per MWh, or 2.2 percent, while the
average cost of service for the Power Year 2008/2009 increased by only $1.48 per MWh, or 1.7 percent,
due to the mitigating effect of the City’s hedges. This upward movement is indicative of the persistent
market volatility that the City’s risk management program is designed to manage. The City’s expected
wholesale cost-of-service for 2007-08 and 2008-09, and to a lesser extent for 2009-10, is significantly
insulated from such adverse price movements.
Pace Global and the City have implemented several major components of a comprehensive hedging
strategy for power year 2008-09 and beyond. At the April 19 ERMC meeting, the structure and
objectives of the program were ratified; these consist thus far of integrated programmatic and
discretionary hedging decision protocols designed to work together to ensure stable, predictable power
prices for the City’s ratepayers for the next several power years. Pace Global anticipates that the
program structure will be enhanced at the next ERMC meeting to include defensive hedging protocols.
The first element of the programmatic hedging strategy targeting peak usage was implemented in two
sets of purchases on April 24 and May 8.

2006 - 2007 Power Year Hedge Position
As of May 10th, estimated power consumption for Power Year 2006-07 was hedged at 100 percent on
peak and 101 percent off peak. Hedge volumes are based on the three year historical load profile of
Dover at the Dover bus prior to any distribution losses to the retail meter. As shown in the table below,
these hedge positions produce an estimated all-in wholesale price to Dover of $82.90 per MWh for the
2006-07 power year, inclusive of all Pace budgeted fees. Despite the acute PJM market price increase,
Dover’s power cost is down $0.11 per MWh relative to last month as the hedge positions shielded the
City and its customers, and due to a reduction in ancillary costs. The “Current Expected” price outcome
remains below the budgeted figure of $85.24 per MWh (including Incentive Fees). The ten day value at
risk (VaR) indicates that this value could increase to $83.87 per MWh, given a “worst case” possible
adverse market movement in commodity and load following costs. That “At Market + Risk” result
would still be $1.37 per MWh below budget.

2007 - 2008 Power Year Hedge Position
For power year 2007-2008, the estimated power consumption is hedged 91 percent on peak and 80
percent off peak. Hedge volumes are based on the three year historical load profile at the Dover bus
prior to any distribution losses to the retail meter. As shown in the table immediately following, the all
in price to Dover at these hedge levels is estimated at $85.36/MWh, inclusive of all incentive fees. The
$84.12 cost of service has changed by $0.10 per MWh versus the last report, as the 91 percent on peak
hedge position lowered the volatility and protected the City from the recent $1.18/MWh movement in
PJM forward market prices for this period. The 10 day value at risk (inclusive of potential adverse
market movements in commodity and load following) could increase this target number to
$86.26/MWh.

2008 - 2009 Power Year Hedge Position
For power year 2008-2009, the estimated power consumption is hedged 38 percent on peak and 19
percent off peak. Hedge volumes are based on the three-year historical load profile at the Dover bus
prior to any distribution losses to the retail meter. As shown below, these hedge levels combined with
current market projections produce a cost of service to Dover estimated at $85.53 per MWh before any
incentive fee. The $85.53 is $1.48 per MWh above the 2008-09 projected cost of $84.05 in our last
report. This increase results from significant upward PJM price movements since the last report period
(ending April 19). The 10 day value-at-risk (inclusive of potential adverse market movements in
commodity and load following cost) could increase this target number to $89.72 per MWh.

2.0 Environmental, Health and Safety
During the month of April, there were no employee or contractor related injuries or illnesses. As a
follow up to the emergency evacuation drill held at the McKee Run facility during the month of
March, we have purchased status boards for employees and visitors to help us identify all individuals
on site at all times. The boards have magnetic buttons to indicate whether or not employees are IN or
OUT of the building. All employees should be trained in the use of the new attendance system and
the boards should be in full use by May 12, 2007.
The Employee-Plant Safety Committee conducted a lunch time cook out to commemorate two years
of accident-free operation. Dover Mayor Steven Speed, Dover City Manager Tony DePrima and
representatives of Pace Global, Fred James and Keith Mills were among the honored guests in
attendance to acknowledge the two-year milestone.
The plant was notified by the DNREC Tank Management Branch that they had approved an alternate
procedure for monitoring the McKee Run Fuel Oil Tank #1 and Oil Inventory until an Out-of-Service
Tank inspection can be completed. The inspection must be completed no later than June 1, 2008.
The DNREC Tank Management Branch has requested monthly data collection and submission of the
data to the department until the inspection has been completed. The plant will compile this
information and send to DNREC at the end of each month in order to honor their request
Quarterly EDR’s (Electronic Data Reports) were filed for McKee Run Unit 3 and VanSant Unit 11.
The audit feedback from the EPA and the Clean Air Market Division MDC check (Monitoring Plan
Data Checking Software) stated that no errors were found.
There were no Notice of Violations, Environmental excursions or Near Miss reports during the month
of April.

2.1 Training
Final arrangements have been made with General Physics, to utilize their web-based training
programs for the Dover facility. The training courses would include topics that satisfy OSHA
compliance and provide general knowledge to site personnel related to power plant operations,
mechanical, electrical, instrumentation & control maintenance, water treatment, heat rate and plant
performance. Three Dover employees, Philip Kosek, EHS and Admin Manager, Ray Lavender,
Operations Supervisor and Paul Greenage, Maintenance Supervisor, attended orientation training at
the General Physics training Center on April 11 & 12, 2007. Program implementation will begin
during the month of May for all NAES employees.

3.1 Variance analysis
For the month of April, we had a favorable variance of $130,991. The variance was due to the
following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – Favorable variance of $21,542 due to lower overtime and burdens due
to low run time that accounted for the majority of the total variance.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Favorable variance of $65,829 which was partially due to
insurance premiums budgeted on a monthly basis were paid in a lump sum payment in August. Also,
money budgeted in April for the fuel oil tank inspection (50K) was actually spent in January.
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, AND SAFETY EXPENSES - Favorable variance of $1,606 due to
a zero non-hazardous waste disposal expense and no water sampling invoices.
MAINTENANCE EXPENSES- Favorable variance of $18,562 due to the City of Dover crediting a
few of the major accounts for items that were previously charged out to these accounts but were
actually inventory purchases. Our expenses for some of the other maintenance accounts was a lot
lower due to minimal run time.
OPERATING EXPENSES – Favorable variance of $23,452 due primarily to not being billed for
McKee Run auxiliary electric usage and for low water usage (limited operational run time). This has
been corrected with the City Electric Department and we should expect to McKee Run electric bills
in future months.

4.1 Training
During the month of April, Ray Lavender, Jeff Luff and Larry Sheranko, Operations Supervisors,
attended an Ashland RCRA/DOT training course to provide additional knowledge in helping to keep
our hazardous waste program up-to-date on current regulations and best practices. Operations
Personnel continue with monthly online PJM training in order to meet PJM training requirements and
for further exam preparation. Work is in the final stages of development of an Operational Readiness
Plan which will provide a more structured training and skill set refresher regimen to all Operations
and Maintenance Personnel. GPiLearning courses which we have recently brought on board will be
utilized as part of this training program.
4.2 Personnel
We continue to have an opening in the operations department due to an employee leaving the
company in October 2006 to pursue other career opportunities. At the present time, plant
management has decided to leave the position open and continues to actively adjust the operations
teams’ work schedules to meet plant needs.

Unit Trips/Outages/Operations
During the month, Unit 11 was operated for 2.7 hours on April 28 on dispatch by PJM. In addition, a
compressor off-line water-wash was performed on the unit early in the month and just prior to its’
annual maintenance outage.
In April, the Unit 11 Annual Outage was completed during which a borescope inspection was
performed on the compressor. Preliminary feedback from the inspector as to the condition of the unit
was very positive. Final results and an assessment of the unit is expected in early May. Other outage
work included the calibration of instrument transmitters and gauges, inspection of the stack,
inspection of electrical bus work, GE TIL work and preventative maintenance on all rotating
electrical and mechanical equipment.
Other Events
We had several members of our staff attend a two day training session at the General Physics facility
to gain the knowledge to set up the plant on the GPILearn on-line training system. Since their return
to the plant, a course schedule has been set up and staff members will begin begun taking the on-line
instruction courses in early May, 2007. The General Physics website based training will be utilized in
several plant programs including the Operational Readiness Plan and the Employee Development and
Qualification Program (EDQP) as well as meeting annual OSHA training requirements.
After months of discussion and providing information to the DNREC Tank Management Branch,
they have approved an alternate procedure to be followed until an Out-of-Service Inspection can be
completed on the McKee Run Fuel Oil Tank #1. Under the alternate procedure, the plant will need to
supply DNREC with visual inspection documentation and oil tank inventory information on a
monthly basis until the Out-of-Service Inspection is completed. We have been mandated by DNREC
to have this inspection completed no later than June 1, 2008.
A meeting with the DNREC Air Quality Management Branch was held to discuss the Delaware
Regulation 1146 Compliance Plan presented by the City of Dover for Unit 3 in March. DNREC had
evaluated the options and this meeting was an opportunity to discuss their evaluation with the City of
Dover representatives. Based on these discussions, a compliance plan continues to be developed
further by the City of Dover with input from NAES and Pace Global personnel.
In our efforts to continuously improve, we continue to investigate installation of Automatic
Generation Control (AGC) on Unit 3 and on Unit 11. This improvement, if achievable, would
provide an even greater value to these units during periods of operation. Also included in the
improvement effort, we have been actively been working with Pace Global to develop competitive
bidding strategies in the PJM market that could provide more operating opportunities for all our units,
thereby increasing electric generation revenue. Some of these strategies have been implemented
since our initial discussions and we expect to see positive results from these in the near future.

The final version of the XL Insurance Report was provided to the plant in April with several
recommendations. Some of these findings have already been addressed and other findings are being
researched to determine best methodology of completing the tasks. The insurance inspectors were
very impressed with the condition of the plant and have provided additional information and
recommendations in the timing of major inspections on the McKee Run steam turbines.
The Employee-led Plant Safety Committee and the Maintenance Staff were recipients of a fantastic
breakfast prepared by Phil Marvel, Plant Electrician and Dean Blaha, Plant Manager. The breakfast
was offered up in the Plant’s 2006 United Way Silent Auction by Phil (2006 Plant United Way
Chairman) and Dean as a way to raise funds for the Plant’s United Way Campaign. The breakfasts
were purchased by Paul Greenage, Maintenance Supervisor and Ken Beard, O & M Manager who
then invited the teams to be their guests for the feast. Plant staff continues to support the United Way
and its’ mission and is currently planning for the coming campaign year.
Leading Edge Turbine Technologies (LETT) has received the fuel nozzles for inspection, flow testing
and repairs. The repairs should take four to eight weeks and once the nozzles are returned, they will
be placed into the plant inventory as a spare set. We have asked for an analysis from LETT to help
us determine the exact cause of the damage to the fuel nozzles. We have yet to receive this analysis.
