SUBJECT: Green Energy Fund Program – Reduction in Matching Funds
REFERENCE: N/A

FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget):
TIME TABLE: Effective upon Council Approval.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends adopting the “NEW POLICY” changes outlined in the two
tables below for the Photovoltaic and Wind Green Energy Fund Program.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The State of Delaware adopted The Delaware Energy Act which includes a Green Energy Fund Program whereby electric
customers of the City of Dover contribute funds to the program to financially support the installation of renewable energy
resources and promote the use of energy efficiency technologies. This program is administered by the Delaware
Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) for the municipal providers in the state, including the City of Dover. Within this
Green Energy Fund Program there are Grant limits (percentage of payment and total payment) for the installation of
qualifying technologies. Staff is suggesting that the City of Dover modify the percentage of the grant payment and the
total grant limits be modified to ensure that funds are available for the most potential Grant requesting parties for the
Photovoltaic and Wind systems. This financial pressure is confirmed through the attached Fund Summary with shows
that the program has a negative balance which may cause extended waiting lists unless we proactively address this issue.
Since Dover ratepayers’ average monthly contribution to the fund is approximately $10,000 it is not inconceivable that a
waiting list could occur very quickly, which most other utilities have already experienced (the State and DEC applicants
are both experiencing approximately 2 year waits). It is noteworthy that, effective May 1, 2009, the State of Delaware
changed their percentage of contribution to 25%, Delaware Electric Cooperative changed theirs to 33.33% effective
February 1, 2009, and DEMEC changed all other municipal providers, except Dover, to 33.1/3% effective June 24, 2009.
This suggested change is due to two (2) new developments. First, the customers now have a Federal Tax Credit
available to them that could provide approximately 30% of the cost directly to them through this tax credit. Secondly, a
change to the Net Metering Policy mandates that the customers retain excess generated kilowatt-hours (kWh) and require
that the City of Dover pay the customer for these excess kWh at the end of the calendar year at the appropriate rate. This
change will financially encourage customers to install larger systems than they require for their own use and could put
further pressure on our limited funds.
These are the suggested changes to the City of Dover Green Energy Fund Program for both the Photovoltaic and Wind

Purchased Power Management
Wholesale load for the month of June was 63,881 MWhs versus a three year historic weather
normalized load of 72,496 MWhs. Hedged transactions accounted for 66,400 MWhs or 104% of
this volume (92% of forecasted load) at a cost of $5.2 million. Spot Market purchases resulted in a
PJM credit of $6 thousand ($74 thousand charge in the Day Ahead market and a $80 thousand credit
in the real time market). Other PJM related charges accounted for an additional $1.3 million cost,
inclusive of all load related fees. June All-In Energy Unit Cost, excluding capacity obligations and
credits was $0.54/MWh favorable compared to the budget for June 2009 of $88.32/MWh. For the
end of the fiscal year, Dover achieved All-In Energy Unit Cost of $0.30/MWh favorable to budget;
based on all actual 12 months costs.
Generation and Asset Management
For the month of June McKee Run and Van Sant units were not dispatched by PJM. PJM market
continues to experience low LMPs thereby displacing the need to require supports from peaking
generations. Given typical historical dispatch patterns for the month the budget also did not project
any generation. All Dover units, however, was able to fully demonstrate summer PJM capacity
ratings.
Emissions and Allowance Management
Dover engaged in no allowance transactions during the month of June, and no units dispatched. All
unit operated for testing purposes, and the appropriate allowance deduction are noted in the table
above. Total net revenue through March 31st from allowance sales for the 2008-09 fiscal year is
$165,470, accounting for Broker’s fees.
Given current dispatch expectations, the market value of the 2007-2009 Dover allowance inventory
is approximately $510 thousand at the time of this report. If sold, Dover would realize
2 Dover Monthly PGAM Report June 2009 - Final
Paj 9
approximately $676 thousand in revenue for the year. This would result in a $756 thousand
unfavorable variance.
Compliance emissions allowance values continue to remain well below the cost of emissions
controls, but some hope exists for a return of market value next year. The SO2 allowance market
remains supportive of prices in the $60-$-75/ton range, with the most recent closing price at $73/ton.
The steady decline of annual NOx allowance values continued from approximately $1200/ton down
to $1060/ton over the past month. Seasonal NOx allowance value also continued declining, moving
from $250/ton down to $200/ton in limited trading.
Hopes for a return of regulatory certainty in the emissions markets have been slightly buoyed buy
the recent actions on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. At a subcommittee
meeting, EPA indicated that it planned to issue a draft of the new Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR)
in early 2010. The intended structure of the rule has yet to be set, but EPA Administrator McCarthy
noted that emission trading was still being considered for inclusion as part of the rule. Sen.
Voinovich and Sen. Inhofe also unveiled plans for legislation to require any CAIR replacement rule
to include emissions trading, though there is no predominant view as to the support for this
legislation.
In spite of these longer-term hopes, uncertainty and market fundamentals continue to dampen
allowance values. Uncertainty remains as to the exact structure of the future compliance emissions
markets, and as noted in the May monthly report, estimates are that the CAIR rulemaking could take
up to two years. Additionally, coal consumption in the U.S. power industry is projected to be down
five percent this year. This reduced consumption, combined with lower natural gas prices and a
relatively mild summer, suggests that SO2 emissions will be lower this year, and generators already
are in a strong allowance position give that 2008 emissions were nearly two million tons less than
the statutory cap. 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 market prices are at $3.32/ton. Though maintaining prices between $3.00 and $4.00, the
RGGI market has seen a lot of movement in its early stages, so no clear long-term price signals are
yet evident. 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 $245,000. Pace will
continue to monitor the RGGI market and will advise Dover regarding allowance sales if the market
alters.

Operations Management Summary
During the month of June, there were no employee or contractor related OSHA injuries, illnesses, or
time loss accidents. There was one near miss for the month. There were zero Environmental Notices
of Violations issued during the month. There were no unit dispatches of any of the McKee Run
Units or the VanSant Unit 11 for PJM. However all units at McKee Run and VanSant were run for
emission testing only. A DNREC representative was on site for the emissions testing
Monthly Budget Variance - The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for the month
of June were $1,130,209. The expenses were $304,507 or 5.14% over the approved budget of
$825,702. The principal reason for the negative variance is due to an additional accrued payroll and
timing of maintenance expenses associated with the cooling tower repairs and faulty battery charger
replacement on unit 1.
Risk Management Summary
Forward energy markets fell sharply as the demand for energy decreased due to both economic
downturn and lack of cooling demand. Forward crude oil prices declined below $60/barrel and
forward natural gas prices fell since the last reporting period, with the prompt month (August 09)
trading below $3.40 per MMBtu. In turn, PJM forward power prices fell since the last reporting
period. On-Peak Dover power prices for FY 2010-11 and FY 2011-12 fell 9.7% ($5.02/MWh) and
9.6% ($5.76/MWh), respectively, compared with the last reporting period. As the result of these
market movements, the City’s wholesale Cost-of-Service across all forward power years had
decreased since the last reporting period. Also, FY 2008-09 was settled and rolled off. PGAM

2.2 – VARIANCE ANALYSIS
Power Supply
• Power Supply realized an unfavorable $593 thousand variance compared to the budget due to
the purchase of additional 11.7% hedge forward positions totaling 6,960 MWh in June. This
purchase was transacted after the FY 2008 budget was submitted to Dover.
• The budget Power Supply Management variance did not account for the maximum
allowable costs.
• PJM Base Residual Auction on June 2, 2009 resulted in 2.7% increase per MW.day UCAP
charge ($196.57) which was adjusted to Interruptible Load for Reliability (ILR) resources
certified for the Delivery Year in comparison to the Forecast RTO IRL Obligation. This
charge will result in unfavorable variances each month.
• The PJM Charges for Load experienced a positive $1.4 million variance due to the placement
of additional hedge position of 6,960MWh, thereby displacing the Open Position by the same
amount; 12% reduced electric demand compared to 3 year historical average Dover June
load, a $124 thousand favorable Basis variance; and an $165 thousand favorable Load
Following variances for the month. Furthermore there was a $18 thousand favorable variance
in transmission costs, $52 thousand favorable variance in the PJM ancillary charges for the
month. Offsetting these favorable variances were a $22 thousand unfavorable variance in
transmission rights credits and $55 thousand unfavorable variance in the transmission loss
refund.
• For the month a favorable $824 thousand net variance between the Power Supply (fixed
positions) and PJM Charges Load (Open positions and transmission etc) was realized
through a favorable $720 thousand variance caused by the change in volume and a favorable
$104 thousand variance caused by the change in price. Hence, majority of the variance can
be attributed to the change in the volume.
Generations
• Plant O&M resulted in an unfavorable variance of $428 thousand compared to the approved
budget of $701 thousand due to an additional accrued payroll and timing of maintenance
expenses associated with the cooling tower repairs and faulty battery charger replacement on
unit 1.
• Generation Fuel realized a favorable variance of $13 thousand for the month primarily due to
the unwinding of previously contracted base load gas costs. Also the net PJM revenue and
fuel costs associated with unbudgeted VanSant capacity testing is allocated into the Fixed
Fuel and Transport Charges costs. This revenue/expense is not part of the generation
production margin.
• Capacity Credits is favorable by $4 thousand compared to the budget due to Dover’s
increased generation capacity rating revenues from the PJM’s incremental auction.

Purchased Power Variance Analysis
• Actual Dover load of 63,881 MWh was 11.9% below the projected May load of 72,496
MWh.
• The All In Unit Energy Cost resulted in an unfavorable $0.50 per MWh variance due to
positive $165 thousand load following variances, $124 thousand favorable basis variance,
lower than anticipated open position energy costs due to significant lower demand
compared to historical June demand, transmission costs, and PJM ancillary charges
contributed to favorable variance for the month. The favorable variances were offset by an
increased hedge cost over budget created when hedges were procured in a rising market
and after the finalization of the fiscal year budget; a reduced transmission loss refund; and
a lower than expected transmission rights credit.
• The Management Incentive fee variance results are accrued at end of the Dover fiscal year
to the contractual amount.

3.3 - EMISSIONS AND ALLOWANCE MANAGEMENT
As shown in Exhibit 1, total net revenue from allowance sales for the 2008-09 fiscal year is
$165,470, accounting for Broker’s fees. City of Dover holds 2,693 tons of vintage 2008 SO2
allowances and no tons of vintage 2008 NOx allowances. Additionally, the City has a balance of 549
tons of vintage 2007 SO2 allowances. At the August 21, 2008 Management Committee meeting the
Committee set a trigger price for the SO2 allowances of $260/ton whereby if the City could achieve
this price it would sell half of its SO2 allowances.

Notes:
(1) Revenue calculations account for a $1/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.
Dover engaged in no allowance transactions during the month of June, and no units dispatched. All
unit operated for testing purposes, and the appropriate allowance deduction are noted in the table

Paj 26
above. Total net revenue through March 31st from allowance sales for the 2008-09 fiscal year is
$165,470, accounting for Broker’s fees.
Given current dispatch expectations, the market value of the 2007-2009 Dover allowance inventory
is approximately $510 thousand at the time of this report. If sold, Dover would realize
approximately $676 thousand in revenue for the year. This would result in a $756 thousand
unfavorable variance.
Compliance emissions allowance values continue to remain well below the cost of emissions
controls, but some hope exists for a return of market value next year. The SO2 allowance market
remains supportive of prices in the $60-$-75/ton range, with the most recent closing price at $73/ton.
The steady decline of annual NOx allowance values continued from approximately $1200/ton down
to $1060/ton over the past month. Seasonal NOx allowance value also continued declining, moving
from $250/ton down to $200/ton in limited trading.
Hopes for a return of regulatory certainty in the emissions markets have been slightly buoyed buy
the recent actions on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. At a subcommittee
meeting, EPA indicated that it planned to issue a draft of the new Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR)
in early 2010. The intended structure of the rule has yet to be set, but EPA Administrator McCarthy
noted that emission trading was still being considered for inclusion as part of the rule. Sen.
Voinovich and Sen. Inhofe also unveiled plans for legislation to require any CAIR replacement rule
to include emissions trading, though there is no predominant view as to the support for this
legislation.
In spite of these longer-term hopes, uncertainty and market fundamentals continue to dampen
allowance values. Uncertainty remains as to the exact structure of the future compliance emissions
markets, and as noted in the May monthly report, estimates are that the CAIR rulemaking could take
up to two years. Additionally, coal consumption in the U.S. power industry is projected to be down
five percent this year. This reduced consumption, combined with lower natural gas prices and a
relatively mild summer, suggests that SO2 emissions will be lower this year, and generators already
are in a strong allowance position give that 2008 emissions were nearly two million tons less than
the statutory cap. 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 market prices are at $3.32/ton. Though maintaining prices between $3.00 and $4.00, the
RGGI market has seen a lot of movement in its early stages, so no clear long-term price signals are
yet evident. 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 $245,000. Pace will
continue to monitor the RGGI market and will advise Dover regarding allowance sales if the market
alters.

4.0 – OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Management Highlights
• During the month of June, there were no restricted work days or lost time accidents. The
facility has now gone 154 days without an OSHA recordable accident and 1,547 consecutive
days without a lost time reportable accident. There was one Near Miss event during the
month. The plant received no Notice of Violations (NOVs) during the month. There was one
opacity deviation which occurred on initial start up operation of the ID fans on Unit 3.
• During the month, there were no unit dispatches of any of the McKee Run units or Unit #11
at VanSant. All units at McKee Run and VanSant ran for emissions testing only.
• The plant received notification from the EPA that during the week of July 20, 2009, they will
conduct Spill Response drills in the Dover area which may include McKee Run site
personnel.
• Mr. Tom Lilly, the DNREC contact for the Dover Generating Facilities, conducted a Title V
Compliance Audit (Full Audit) in early June. Preliminary feedback from Mr. Lilly is that he
found no discrepancies and that the plant is in compliance with all permit requirements.
• Operations operated all four units during the month of June for the purpose of performing
emissions testing, as required by the DNREC. While each unit was operating on-line,
operations teams were able to successfully complete a capacity test for the particular unit.
• Eastern ISI completed the removal and replacement of the Unit Three Cooling Tower East
Stairwell.
• The plant contracted with Lewellyn Technology (LT) to perform an Arc Flash Analysis of
both generating facilities. This work was awarded after comparing bids from five companies.
• An inspection on the cooling towers at McKee Run was performed during the month of April
and the final report has been received. The inspection results indicated that repairs will be
needed to replace the tower fill, tower wood members and stairwells on the Unit 3 tower.
The stairwell replacement was completed in June and is now back in service.
• Discussions continued with Pace Global and Advance Power (APP) on the addition of a
HRSG at VanSant which could supply additional power output on the unit. The ball is now
in APP’s court as to what performance they could guarantee as well as the amount of the
liability they would assume before the project proceeds any further.

There was one Near Miss event during the month. The Near Miss involved the rupture of a sulfuric
acid line while under pressure due to pluggage. An evaluation of the system has resulted in the
addition of a flushing line as well as amending the existing procedure to include flushing of the lines
after each regeneration of the demineralizer.
The plant received no Notice of Violations (NOVs) during the month. There was one opacity
deviation which occurred on initial start up operation of the ID fans on Unit 3.
The plant received notification from the EPA that during the week of July 20, 2009, they will
conducting Spill Response drills in the Dover area which may include McKee Run site personnel.
Mr. Tom Lilly, the DNREC contact for the Dover Generating Facilities, conducted a Title V
Compliance Audit (Full Audit) in early June. During the course of the audit, Mr. Lilly reviews
operations log, plant documentation files associated with required Title V Permit record keeping,
touring the plant property as observing the units while they are on-line. Preliminary feedback from
Mr. Lilly is that he found no discrepancies and that the plant is in compliance with all permit
requirements. A letter from Mr. Lilly stating this fact will be forthcoming.

Our original budget for June was $825,702. The actual expenses for June are $1,130,209 for an
unfavorable variance of $304,507 or ≈ 5.14%. The variance was due to the following:
PERSONNEL EXPENSES - Labor, overtime, incentives and burdens accounted for a total
unfavorable variance of $159,142 than what was originally budgeted. Payroll accruals contributed
significantly to the variance.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - An unfavorable variance of $51,571 was due to purchase of
new work stations and Contract Service/Fees from the Arc Flash Study.
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, AND SAFETY EXPENSES – An unfavorable variance
of $6,228 was achieved due to the purchase of confined space and fall protection equipment for the
facility.
MAINTENANCE EXPENSES- An unfavorable variance of $85,725 was due to combustion
turbine maintenance, Unit #3 cooling tower repairs and the replacement of the faulty battery charger
on the Unit #1 / #2 battery system.
OPERATING EXPENSES – An unfavorable variance of $1,842 was due to higher water
usage costs than anticipated to support emissions testing.
We are currently forecasted to finish the fiscal year at $5,845,369 expensed versus $5,921,643
budgeted. There are still a few invoices in the system that could be accrued which would affect the
final budget total.

Team Report:
Operations operated all four units during the month of June for the purpose of performing emissions
testing, as required by the DNREC. While each unit was operating on-line, operations teams were
able to successfully complete a capacity test for the particular unit. The completion of the capacity
tests at this time will save money by not having to operate the units at a later date in the summer test
period when costs and conditions may not be as favorable. The successful testing of the units during
the PJM Summer Period is just one of the requirements necessary to be included in the PJM Winter
Capacity Test Exemption Program.
Operations personnel have been supporting maintenance by working on Preventative Maintenance
(PM) work orders and other work orders that they the necessary skill set to successfully complete the
task. The Operations Department has two operators (Flex Team) helping complete work orders
during day shift when the units are not running.
Senior Operators are training for their PJM exam and are taking the online courses to gain CEH
credits that count toward their certification hours in which the must have two hundred hours of
training in five years. 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.

Notable activities during the month include:
1) Replaced the Unit 3A Boiler Feed Pump inboard seal. The pump seal repair was verified as
complete during operational testing of the equipment.
2) Completed vibration readings on MRGS and VanSant plant equipment during test runs.
Vibration results will be sent out and analyze. A final report will be sent to the plant identifying
any potential problems.
3) The NAES Dover staff provided support to Apex Heat and Power LLC for the repairs of Unit
Two superheat header supply tube. A leak was discovered after the unit had been taken off line
and repaired once the boiler had cooled down.

4) Completed the installation of the new Beck drive for the BOFA fan damper. This will allow
operations to have better control and repeatability of damper positions when tuning the boiler for
lower emissions.
5) The NAES maintenance staff provided support to Otis Elevator Co. for the upgrade and
installation of new cart doors and tracks. Upgrades were needed to provide reliability and safe
operation of the elevator.
6) The NAES maintenance staff provided support to operations on the completion of all four unit
capacity summer tests.
7) Completed the change out of DI resin at VanSant Unit 11. The resin had reached the end of
its’ usable life. New resin will provide increased through-put and lower chemical usage by
reducing the number of regenerations needed to make an equivalent amount of DI water as
compared to using the older resin.
8) Eastern ISI completed the removal and replacement of the Unit Three Cooling Tower East
Stairwell.

6.0 General Plant Information
Training
During the month of June entire plant staff had training on SPCC, NPDES, ARPP and Storm Water.
These training sessions were site specific and were based on the plant’s permit requirements. The
training consisted of a quiz at the beginning of a topic then some discussion as the quiz was being
reviewed. The permit was reviewed as well.
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.
Other Events
Discussions continued with Pace Global and Advance Power (APP) on the addition of a HRSG at
VanSant which could supply additional power output on the unit. Money had been appropriated for
APP to conduct a feasibility study of the project. The final report was received on May 15, 2009. A
review of the report by plant management and Pace Global was scheduled for early June after which
a conference call was be set up with Advance Power to clarify statements in the report, performance
guarantees and estimated costs. This follow up conversation with APP resulted in a further
investigation by both APP and Pace Global into the federal grant as well as discussions pertaining to
performance guarantees and liability limits. The ball is now in APP’s court as to what performance
they could guarantee as well as the amount of the liability they would assume before the project
proceeds any further.
The plant contracted with Lewellyn Technology (LT) to perform an Arc Flash Analysis of both
generating facilities. This work was awarded after comparing bids from five companies. A
preliminary report was provided on June 30, 2009 as well as a site visit by a Lewellyn technician
who installed Arc Flash exposure level stickers (1-4) to plant equipment. Level 0 stickers will be
applied by maintenance staff. A final report is en route to the plant. After a review of the
recommendations, an action plan will be developed to implement the findings as part of Phase 2 of
the project.
An inspection on the cooling towers at McKee Run was performed during the month of April and
the final report has been received. The inspection results indicated that repairs will be needed to
replace the tower fill, tower wood members and stairwells on the Unit 3 tower. The stairwell
replacement was completed in June and is now back in service. SPIG, the contracted cooling tower
inspection company supplied budgetary estimates of the repairs identified within their report to the
plant. Plant staff is now developing a CIP for the repairs needed on the tower in order to extend their
life and the efficiency of Unit 3 cooling tower.

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.
