REMAINING ALLOWANCES 11,053 1123 192
On August 21, 2012, a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court of Appeals (DCA) in
Washington vacated EPA’s Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) which would have
become effective on January 1, 2012. The DCA instructed EPA to continue
administering the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). On January 24, 2013, the full DCA

Per CAIR, starting in 2009, NOx emissions are governed by a seasonal and annual program.
2
Under CAIR, pre-CAIR SO2 allowances are retired at a rate of 2 allowances for each ton emitted. It is
assumed that pre-CAIR allowances will be retired before CAIR allowances.
3
Seasonal NOx values are subject to verification by NAES.

Paj 12
refused to rehear a decision of the three-judge panel. On March 29, 2013 EPA, filed a
petition with the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to hear the agency’s appeal of the DCA
decision to vacate CSAPR. As of the date of this report, the Supreme court has not
accepted or rejected EPA’s petition.
Market liquidity for CAIR allowances continues to be low, with few transactions
occurring. The following table shows estimated values for Dover’s banked allowances,
based on broker bids & offers:

Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
The State of Delaware is a participant in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
The City of Dover must comply with RGGI by surrendering carbon dioxide (CO2)
allowances pursuant to the State of Delaware’s laws (Title 7, Chapter 60, Sub-Title II-A).
Delaware has elected a combined emissions allowance allocation/auction mechanism for
RGGI, in which 40% of CO2 allowances were allocated to sources for 2009, declining by
8% per year so that by 2014, all CO2 allowances are auctioned.
Dover had more than a sufficient number of RGGI allowances allocated to it to cover its
requirements through the first compliance period (calendar years 2009-2011). Any
unused allowances are carried over (“banked”) for subsequent years. The cumulative
balance of unused RGGI allowances held by Dover were 104,505 tons as of the end of
Calendar year 2012, as shown in the table below. During January & February 2013,
Dover’s generating units have not operated; therefore CO2 emissions have been zero. In
March, 19 tons of emissions were recorded during a VanSant black-start test.

The most recent Seasonal NOx price available to TEA was received on April 1, 2013.

2013 0 15,032 514 15,546 (19) 15,527 120,032
The table shows that the “Allocated CO2 Allowances” (column 5) are declining. After 2013,
Dover will no longer receive allocations of RGGI allowances. Actual CO2 emissions
(column 6) have varied from 5,796 tons in 2009 to 32,971 tons in 2010. The Cumulative
Balance (column 8) – aka “Banked Allowances”) can be utilized for generation in future
years (including 2013). Once the banked allowances have been fully utilized, Dover will
be required to purchase allowances through the periodic RGGI auctions or through over-
the-counter markets. Assuming that Dover does not sell any banked allowances, it will
be able to maintain a positive balance through 2016 – 2025, depending on actual annual
energy production in 2012 and beyond.
On February 7, 2013, RGGI proposed changes to its Model Rule. The proposed changes
include:
A reduction of the 2014 regional CO2 budget, “RGGI cap”, from 165 million to
91 million tons – a reduction of 45 percent. The cap would decline 2.5 percent
each year from 2015 to 2020.
Additional adjustments to the RGGI cap from 2014-2020. This will account for
the private bank of allowances held by market participants before the new cap is
implemented in 2014. From 2014-2020 compliance with the applicable cap will
be achieved by use of “new” auctioned allowances and “old” allowances from
the private bank.
The Minimum Reserve Price for 2014 will be $2.00 and increase by 2.5% per
year thereafter.
Cost containment reserve (CCR) of allowances that creates a fixed additional
supply of allowances that are only available for sale if CO2 allowance prices
7
Paj 14
exceed certain price levels ($4 in 2014, $6 in 2015, $8 in 2016, and $10 in 2017,
rising by 2.5 percent, to account for inflation, each year thereafter.)
Updates to the RGGI offsets program, including a new forestry protocol.
Not reoffering unsold 2012 and 2013 CO2 allowances.
Requiring regulated entities to acquire and hold allowances equal to at least 50
percent of their emissions in each of the first 2 years of the 3 year compliance
period, in addition to demonstrating full compliance at the end of each 3 year
compliance period.
Commitment to identifying and evaluating potential tracking tools for emissions
associated with electricity imported into the RGGI region, leading to a workable,
practicable, and legal mechanism to address such emissions.
With the release of the Updated Model Rule, the RGGI states now plan to revise their
CO2 Budget Trading Programs through their individual state-specific statutory and
regulatory processes. Each RGGI state seeks to complete their state specific processes
such that the proposed changes to the program would take effect on January 1, 2014.
Dover could elect to sell all or a portion of its banked allowances now and re-acquire
allowances at a later date; however TEA is currently of the opinion that Dover will be
better off retaining its banked allowances for use during future compliance years.
The most recent RGGI auction occurred on March 15, 2013 and the auction cleared at
$2.80/ton. The next RGGI auction will be held on June 5, 2013. Dover has not
registered to participate in this upcoming auction.
RGGI futures prices posted on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) are currently $3.40/ton.
Based on ICE futures prices, the value of Dover’s existing RGGI allowance bank
(120,032 tons) is approximately $408,109.
Renewable Energy Certificates
Dover owns two photovoltaic systems totaling 15 kW, consisting of (a 5 kW unit at the
Utilities Administration Building and two 5 kW units at the McKee Run generating
station. The output has been recorded on PJM’s Generation Attribute Tracking System
(GATS), resulting in a balance of 48 Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECS) for
all generation through December 2012.
Dover also receives solar energy produced by the 10 MW Dover Sun Park which is
owned by White Oak Solar Energy, LLC. In addition to the all of the physical energy
produced by the Sun Park, Dover receives 15% of Sun Park’s SRECS. Through the end
of February 2013, Dover has accumulated a total of 4,195 SRECS from this contract.
8
Paj 15
Given the current SREC market structure, combined with the impact of the Sun Park and
other facilities coming on-line in 2011, Dover’s ability to remarket excess SRECs
presents unique challenges. Market price for Delaware SRECs from the September 2012
auction was $40/MWh, resulting in a theoretical market value of $169,720 for Dover’s
4,243 SRECs.
It should be noted, however, that the nearest viable market for Dover’s SRECs is
Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania’s February 2013 SREC auction cleared at $10/MWh. Using
this price, Dover’s SRECs would have a market value of $42,430.
The next auction for Delaware’s RECs opened on March 21st, 2013 and closes on April
12, 2013. Results for this auction should be available on April 26th.
TEA continues to recommend to Dover to retain these allowances for compliance with its
Renewable Portfolio Standard which DEMEC is working on. Once Dover has an
approved RPS in place, it may be required to retire a portion of its current SREC balance
for compliance in the 2012/13 future compliance year. Any remaining SRECs could be
used for the 2013/14 compliance year.
D. Operations Management Summary:
During the month of March, there were no reportable or lost time accidents or injuries.
The facility has now gone 899 days without an OSHA recordable accident and 899
consecutive days without a lost time reportable accident. There were zero Environmental
Notices of Violations issued. There were no Near Miss incidents. In the month of March,
no units were dispatched by PJM nor were they self-dispatched. All Units were in a
planned outage starting March 4. A Black Start capability test was successfully competed
on Unit 11. Work continues on the installation of the industrial waste water discharge
system.
Monthly Budget Variance - The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for
the month of March were $375,277. The actual expenses are $32,021 or 9.33% over the
approved budget of $343,256. The principal reason for the unfavorable variance was due
to timing of expenses for overhead crane testing and replacement of instrumentation on
the water treatment storage tank which were budgeted later in the year.
E. Risk Management Summary:
Forward power prices in PJM have risen slightly since last month due to higher forward
gas prices and resulting in a slightly higher blended cost in power year 2012-13 and
2013-14. Prices have dropped in power year 2014-15 and 2015-16 resulting in a lower
blended cost.

2.1 Variance analysis:
The City of Dover Finance Department has closed the books for the month of March
2013. The expenses for March are $375,277 against a budgeted amount of $343,256 for
an unfavorable variance of $32,021 or ≈ 9.33%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – A favorable monthly variance of $11,692 was due to
having a lower than budgeted straight time labor and labor burdens.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES- An unfavorable monthly variance of
$866 was due primarily to the timing of the invoice for the annual MP2 (CMMS)
maintenance contract.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – An unfavorable monthly variance of $35,286 was
due to expenses for overhead crane load test – inspection, video recorder replacement
(budgeted for later in year), level indicators for Unit #3 water treatment storage tanks,
and main gas isolation valve replacement.
The budget is currently forecasted to finish this fiscal year at $5,838,495 expensed versus
an approved budget of $5,914,900 thereby realizing a 98.71% expenditure rate.

Team Report:
The operators continue to use the Plant Readiness Program for training and refreshing
their plant knowledge on different systems to improve the plant’s reliability. Some of the
training involved promotes teamwork with other staff members to work together to find a
solution and to promote further discussions on equipment operation. The operators also
use the GPi Learning courses to improve their knowledge and skills. The GPI online
training which supports our safety, OSHA, and environmental training are being used by
the teams to complete their training for the year. Along with the GPI OSHA training the
operators review the plant’s safety procedures.
The Operations staff continues to support maintenance activities during the planned
outage by serving as Confined Space Attendants for confined space areas as well as other
support tasks. They assisted in the natural gas line purge on Unit 3 in preparation of the
installation of the pipe blank and in the purge on Units 1 and 2 gas lines. The Operations
staff has also supported the outage by performing various LO/TO tasks needed to test or
place equipment in or out or service. .
Operations personnel continue to support maintenance by working on Preventative
Maintenance (PM) work orders and other work orders that they have the necessary skills
to successfully complete the task. The Operations Department continues to utilize the
Day Shift Workers in both the Operations and Maintenance areas to help in maintaining
the plant.

6.0 General Plant Information
The XL Insurance Representatives Neal Grabow and Steve Behrens who were
onsite in February for their annual inspection provided the plant with a draft of
their 2013 report. Plant staff reviewed the document and provided several
suggested edits on some of the language and also clarified some technical points
regarding the plant. The report was also provided to COD management for their
review and comments. Goal is to provide Mr. Grabow with those edits in early
April.
TEA has evaluated the findings of the McHale and Associates Report (Capacity
upgrade opportunities for VanSant) and has imported the data into their financial
model. From this, TEA developed a presentation that was presented at the March
COD/TEA/NAES Management Meeting in which they recommended
implementation of the Wet Compression Technology with an estimated cost of
$1.5 million dollars. A number of action items were also identified that need to
be followed up by NAES and by TEA including updating the project CIP costing
and having a discussion with the DNREC regarding the effect the power increase
could have on emissions.
The data was entered into PJM eGADS for the verification of completion of the
Winter Capacity Test. Since all the units were in the Winter Test Exemption
Program and the units did not operate, summer test data is used for the
verification.
Training:
OES-NA was on site on March 18th and 19th for PJM simulation training. PJM
requires 30 simulation credits for the three year Generation System operator
certification. The only method to receive these credits is to attend PJM System
Operator seminar or to have qualified training observed by PJM. Voltage Control,
Congestion Management, and Emergency Operations was covered in the two day
class using laptops. Five operators and two supervisors attended the class. BL
England sent an Operations supervisor for training. This class will supply the
operator with 14 simulation credits.
Plant employees continue General Physics safety training and environmental
courses to enhance their overall knowledge of permit and safety requirements. As
the GPI courses are being completed the employee reviews the standard operating
procedure (SMP) for the same topic they are training on to review NAES policy
as well.
Topics discussed during the monthly safety committee meeting were reviewed by
the entire staff.

REMAINING ALLOWANCES 11,053 1123 189
On August 21, 2012, a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court of Appeals (DCA) in
Washington vacated EPA’s Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) which would have
become effective on January 1, 2012. The DCA instructed EPA to continue
administering the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). On January 24, 2013, the full DCA
1
Per CAIR, starting in 2009, NOx emissions are governed by a seasonal and annual program.
2
Under CAIR, pre-CAIR SO2 allowances are retired at a rate of 2 allowances for each ton emitted. It is
assumed that pre-CAIR allowances will be retired before CAIR allowances.
3
Seasonal NOx values are subject to verification by NAES.

Paj 42
refused to rehear a decision of the three-judge panel. On March 29, 2013 EPA, filed a
petition with the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to hear the agency’s appeal of the DCA
decision to vacate CSAPR. As of the date of this report, the Supreme Court has not
accepted or rejected EPA’s petition.
Market liquidity for CAIR allowances continues to be low, with few transactions
occurring. The following table shows estimated values for Dover’s banked allowances,
based on broker bids & offers:

Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
The State of Delaware is a participant in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
The City of Dover must comply with RGGI by surrendering carbon dioxide (CO2)
allowances pursuant to the State of Delaware’s laws (Title 7, Chapter 60, Sub-Title II-A).
Delaware has elected a combined emissions allowance allocation/auction mechanism for
RGGI, in which 40% of CO2 allowances were allocated to sources for 2009, declining by
8% per year so that by 2014, all CO2 allowances are auctioned.
Dover had more than a sufficient number of RGGI allowances allocated to it to cover its
requirements through the first compliance period (calendar years 2009-2011). Any
unused allowances are carried over (“banked”) for subsequent years. The cumulative
balance of unused RGGI allowances held by Dover were 104,505 tons as of the end of
Calendar year 2012, as shown in the table below. During January & February 2013,
Dover’s generating units have not operated; therefore CO2 emissions have been zero. In
March, 19 tons of emissions were recorded during a VanSant black-start test and in April,
105 ton were recorded during unit testing during the spring 2013 semi-annual
maintenance outage.

The table shows that the “Allocated CO2 Allowances” (column 5) are declining. After 2013,
Dover will no longer receive allocations of RGGI allowances. Actual CO2 emissions
(column 6) have varied from 5,796 tons in 2009 to 32,971 tons in 2010. The Cumulative
Balance (column 8) – aka “Banked Allowances”) can be utilized for generation in future
years (including 2013). Once the banked allowances have been fully utilized, Dover will
be required to purchase allowances through the periodic RGGI auctions or through over-
the-counter markets. Assuming that Dover does not sell any banked allowances, it will
be able to maintain a positive balance through 2016 – 2025, depending on actual annual
energy production in 2012 and beyond.
On February 7, 2013, RGGI proposed changes to its Model Rule. The proposed changes
have been included in previous monthly reports. With the release of the Updated Model
Rule, the RGGI states now plan to revise their CO2 Budget Trading Programs through
their individual state-specific statutory and regulatory processes. Each RGGI state seeks
to complete their state specific processes such that the proposed changes to the program
would take effect on January 1, 2014.
Dover could elect to sell all or a portion of its banked allowances now and re-acquire
allowances at a later date; however TEA is currently of the opinion that Dover will be
better off retaining its banked allowances for use during future compliance years.
The most recent RGGI auction occurred on March 15, 2013 and the auction cleared at
$2.80/ton. The next RGGI auction will be held on June 5, 2013. Dover has not
registered to participate in this upcoming auction.
RGGI futures settlement prices posted on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) on May 20,
2013 ranged from $3.32 to $3.40/ton, averaging $3.37/ton. Based on the average ICE
7
Paj 44
futures prices, the value of Dover’s existing RGGI allowance bank (119,927 tons) is
approximately $404,154.
Renewable Energy Certificates
Dover owns two photovoltaic systems totaling 15 kW, consisting of (a 5 kW unit at the
Utilities Administration Building and two 5 kW units at the McKee Run generating
station. The output has been recorded on PJM’s Generation Attribute Tracking System
(GATS), resulting in a balance of 49 Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECS) for
all generation through March 2013.
Dover also receives solar energy produced by the 10 MW Dover Sun Park which is
owned by White Oak Solar Energy, LLC. In addition to the all of the physical energy
produced by the Sun Park, Dover receives 15% of Sun Park’s SRECS. Through the end
of March 2013, Dover has accumulated a total of 4,408 SRECS from this contract.
Given the current SREC market structure, combined with the impact of the Sun Park and
other facilities coming on-line in 2011, Dover’s ability to remarket excess SRECs
presents unique challenges. Market price for Delaware SRECs from the March 2013
auction ranged from a high of $86.60/MWh for Tier N2 to a low of $34.59 for Tier E1.
This results in a theoretical market value of $155,995 by using a Delaware auction price
of $35/MWh for Dover’s 4,457 SRECs.
It should be noted, however, that the nearest viable market for Dover’s SRECs is
Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania’s March 2013 SREC auction cleared at $13/MWh. Using
this price, Dover’s SRECs would have a market value of $57,941.
SREC-Delaware (www.srecdelaware.com) is also conducting a spot SREC auction for
existing SRECs between May 15th and May 22. Results from this spot auction were not
available at the time of this report.
TEA continues to recommend to Dover to retain these allowances for compliance with its
Renewable Portfolio Standard which DEMEC is working on. Once Dover has an
approved RPS in place, it may be required to retire a portion of its current SREC balance
for compliance in the 2012/13 future compliance year. Any remaining SRECs could be
used for the 2013/14 compliance year.

D. Operations Management Summary:
During the month of April, there were no reportable or lost time accidents or injuries. The
facility has now gone 929 days without an OSHA recordable accident and 929
consecutive days without a lost time reportable accident. There were zero Environmental
Notices of Violations issued. There were no Near Miss incidents. In the month of April,
no units were dispatched by PJM nor were they self dispatched. All Units were in a
planned outage starting March 4. New Title V Air Permits for McKee Run and VanSant
were received and are now in effect for the next five years. Work continues on the
installation of the industrial waste water discharge system with the mechanical work
essentially complete.
Monthly Budget Variance - The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for
the month of April were $500,242. The actual expenses are $120,704 or 31.80% over the
approved budget of $379,538. The principal reason for the unfavorable variance was due
to timing of expenses for labor (3 payrolls billed versus 2 payrolls budgeted), and
electrical usage.
E. Risk Management Summary:
Forward power prices in PJM are similar to last month. The blended cost has decreased
slightly in 2013–14 and increased slightly in 2015-16.
The current projected cost of service is below:
Blended
Cost

2.1 Variance analysis:
The City of Dover Finance Department has closed the books for the month of April 2013.
The expenses for April are $500,242 against a budgeted amount of $379,538 for an
unfavorable variance of $120,704 or ≈ 31.80%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES – An unfavorable monthly variance of $110,386 was due to
having three (3) payroll periods billed versus the two (2) that had been originally
budgeted for April. Included in these costs are straight time labor, overtime labor, and
labor burdens.
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES- A favorable monthly variance of
$13,374 was due primarily to lower water costs and to the timing of the invoice for the
computer server that has been ordered but not yet received.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES – An unfavorable monthly variance of $23,692 was
due primarily to two (2) monthly electric usage invoices being booked in month of April
instead of one as had been originally budgeted.
The budget is currently forecasted to finish this fiscal year at $5,838,166 expensed versus
an approved budget of $5,914,900 thereby realizing a 98.70% expenditure rate.

3.0 Operations
Unit Operations / Outages / Trips
For the entire month of April, all units were in the spring outage. On April 29, plant staff
tested Unit 3 boiler and turbine as a follow up on repairs/inspections performed on the
equipment earlier in the outage. The unit was on line for approximately four and half
hours during which the boiler and natural gas system along with the turbine generator
were checked out. A problem was found with the B-1 natural gas valve which caused the
boiler to trip a couple of times. A shorted wire was found to be the cause of the problem.
The wire was repaired and the unit operated with no further incidences.

6.0 General Plant Information
The XL Insurance Representative Neal Grabow submitted his final
report/assessment of the plant to the City of Dover. He removed the requirement
to install blast windows on the control room wall and added a requirement that
the plant test plant transformers for corrosive sulfur in their oil.
TEA has evaluated the findings of the McHale and Associates Report (Capacity
upgrade opportunities for VanSant) and has imported the data into their financial
model. From this, TEA developed a presentation that was presented at the March
COD/TEA/NAES Management Meeting in which they recommended
implementation of the Wet Compression Technology with an estimated cost of
$1.5 million dollars. A number of action items were also identified that need to
be followed up by NAES and by TEA including updating the project CIP costing
and having a discussion with the DNREC regarding the effect the power increase
could have on emissions.
Plant staff is working to complete as many of the remaining outages tasks as
possible prior to the end of the outage. Some of the work will be able to be
completed when the units come out of the outage. Only a few minor tasks, if any,
will need to be deferred until a later date.
Training:
Jason Anker was successful in renewing his PJM Generation System Operator
certificate for another three years.
Topics discussed during the monthly safety committee meeting were reviewed by
the entire staff. The monthly safety topic was on “Texting While Driving”.
On April 5, Brian Hoyt, Lance Berryhill, and Eric Carrow attended DOT/RCRA
Hazardous Waste training sponsored by NEXEO Solutions. This training
encompasses identification, characterization, storage, and handling of facility
wastes in compliance with EPA and DOT regulations.
Plant employees continue using the General Physics safety training and
environmental courses to enhance their overall knowledge of permit and safety
requirements. As the GPI courses are being completed, the employee reviews the
standard operating procedure (SMP) for the same topic they are training on to
review NAES policy as well.
