2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION This Engineering Consultant’s Report has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the City of Dover, Delaware Resolution Authorizing and Securing Electric Revenue Bonds, adopted December 23, 1985 (Resolution). Burns & McDonnell has been retained as Engineering Consultant by the City of Dover, Delaware (City) for this purpose. The Resolution requires that the Engineering Consultant complete the following: “The City covenants that it will cause the Engineering Consultants employed under the provisions of Section 705 of this Resolution . . . to make an inspection of the Electric System at least once each fiscal year and . . . to submit to the City Manager a report setting forth (a) their findings whether the properties of the Electric System have been maintained in good repair, working order and condition and whether they have been operated efficiently and economically and (b) their recommendation as to (i) the proper maintenance, repair and condition of the Electric System during the ensuing fiscal year and a estimate of the appropriations which should be made for such purposes, (ii) the insurance to be carried under the provisions of Article VII of this Resolution, (iii) the amount that should be deposited during the ensuing fiscal year to the credit of the Improvement and Extension Fund for the purposes set forth in Section 510 of this Article, (iv) the extensions, improvements, renewals and replacements which should be made during the ensuing fiscal year, and (v) any necessary or advisable revisions of the electric rates.” This is the eighth annual Engineering Consultant’s Report prepared for the City by Burns & McDonnell. ELECTRIC SYSTEM OVERVIEW AND ASSESSMENT The Electric System owned by the City primarily consists of production plant, transmission plant, distribution plant, and general plant facilities. City of Dover, Delaware ES-1 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

Page 16

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Executive Summary The City owns two power plants, the McKee Run Generating Station (McKee Run) and the VanSant Generating Station (VanSant). McKee Run consists of three steam turbine generating units with a total combined capacity of 136 megawatts (MW). VanSant is a 39 MW simple-cycle combustion turbine unit. Effective May 4, 2006, the City entered into a five-year Energy Management Agreement with PACE Global Asset Management (PACE), LLC of Fairfax, Virginia to assist the City with its energy procurement, energy sale, purchase of fuels, establishment and management of risk policies, the development and management of hedging protocols and related energy procurement challenges. Effective July 1, 2006, North American Energy Services (NAES) began operating the plants. The Engineering Consultant’s observations regarding the generating stations and units are described in the Electric System Overview and Assessment section of this report. The Electric Division served approximately 23,195 customers, over 19,785 of which were residential customers as of the end of FY 2010. The distribution facilities include 217.27 miles of overhead lines and 261.66 miles of underground lines connected through fifteen different substations. The Engineering Consultant’s observations regarding the transmission and distribution systems are described in the Electric System Overview and Assessment section of this report. Four of the Electric Division customers take service off of the 69 kV transmission system. These customers include the Dover Air Force Base, Kraft, Proctor & Gamble, and NRG Energy Center (NRG). NRG is an exempt wholesale generator that sells power that must be transmitted through the City’s transmission system to third party purchasers. When the NRG plant is not operational, the Electric Division provides power for the plant site. The Electric Division has one contract for providing transmission service through the Electric System. As previously stated, the Electric Division provides transmission service to NRG for the output of its 16-MW electric generator. General plant facilities consist primarily of Electric Division administrative and operations facilities and pollution control related equipment on McKee Run and VanSant. Other types of general plant include office furniture and equipment, transportation and power-operated equipment, and communication equipment.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Executive Summary It is the Engineering Consultant’s opinion that the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the City’s electric transmission and distribution system and the associated facilities are consistent with current generally accepted electric utility standards. The Engineering Consultant’s observations regarding the transmission and distribution systems are described in the Electric System Overview and Assessment section of this report. FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT The level of revenues required from the retail electric rates for the Electric Division were determined through the analysis of the financial results and net income or net margins for FY 2010. The Resolution requires that the Electric Division maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25. Following is an excerpt from Section 502(c) of the Resolution. “(c) The total amount of the Revenues of the Electric System during the preceding fiscal year shall have been not less than the total of the following: (1) The Current Expenses of the Electric System during the current fiscal years shown by the Annual Budget . . . for such fiscal year, and (2) One hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the maximum amount of the Principal and Interest Requirements for any fiscal year thereafter on account of all bonds then Outstanding under the provisions of this Resolution.” Customers of the Electric Division of the City were charged for the electric service they received based on the City’s rate schedules and contracts that were in place in FY 2010. A comprehensive cost-of-service and rate design study was completed in 2006 and subsequent rate analyses were completed in 2007 and 2008 to examine revenue requirements and revenue generation. Specifically, the 2006 rate study was conducted to address increased costs associated with a new power supply contract that became effective on July 1, 2006. The rate study recommended combining a number of rate classes and implementing rate increases on July 1, 2006. The 2006 rate study also recommended an additional increase be implemented on January 1, 2007 to cover increased costs associated with operating the generating station. The 2007 and 2008 rate analyses re-examined Electric Division revenues and expenses and recognized additional revisions to power supply costs. As a result of these analyses, additional rate increases were implemented on July 1, 2007, and July 1, 2008. The July 2008 rate adjustments established the rate schedules utilized by the Electric Division today.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Executive Summary Total energy sales decreased from 719.9 million kWh in FY 2009 to 708.5 million kWh in FY 2010; a total decrease of about 1.59 percent. Total revenue from sales to electric customers in FY 2010 was approximately $98.1 million, representing a decrease of $1.5 million from the FY 2009 rate revenue of approximately $99.6 million. In FY 2010, the average revenue per kWh for residential customers was 15.12 cents and the system-wide average price was 13.84 cents per kWh. The Electric Division’s largest cost in providing electric service to its customers is the wholesale cost of power, purchased from the Pennsylvania New Jersey Maryland Interconnection (PJM) marketplace by its Energy Manager, PACE. From FY 2009 to FY 2010, the cost of power decreased from $74.9 million to $72.8 million. Net income increased from $2.9 million in FY 2010 to $3.3 million in FY 2010. The increase in FY 2010 was due in large part an overall decrease in the power supply expense, and transmission and distribution cost. The Resolution requires that annual revenues of the Electric Division be no less than the total current expenses plus 125 percent of the greatest remaining annual debt service. The Electric Division achieved debt service coverage ratios for FY 2008, FY 2009, and FY 2010 of 5.76, 2.88, and 4.24 respectively; therefore, the revenues generated by the current electric rates have been sufficient to meet the applicable covenant of the Resolution. The City maintains a comprehensive insurance program to insure against varying types of liabilities, as well as significant losses related to various Electric Division properties. It is the opinion of Burns & McDonnell as Engineering Consultant, and not as insurance counselor, the insurance in full force and affect appears to satisfy the requirements of Section 706 of the Resolution. The City has established several funds and reserves to ensure that moneys are available for specific purposes when they are needed. Following is a list of these funds: • Electric Revenue Fund • Electric Improvement and Extension Fund • Interest and Sinking Fund (Reserve Account) • Depreciation Reserve Fund • Future Capacity Fund • Insurance Stabilization Fund City of Dover, Delaware ES-5 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

Page 20

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Executive Summary • Contingency Reserve Fund • Electric Rate Revenue Fund The Engineering Consultant reviewed the last five funds listed above and found that the balances in those funds as of June 30, 2010, were consistent with the required or target balances. CONCLUSIONS Based on the reviews and assessments completed, it is the opinion of Burns & McDonnell that: 1. The City’s power generation facilities are being operated and maintained consistent with accepted electric utility practice in the United States. 2. The design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the City’s electric transmission and distribution system and the associated facilities are consistent with current generally accepted electric utility standards. 3. The Electric Division capital projects included in the City’s Capital Investment Plan and the FY 2010 Operating Budget are necessary and should provide improved reliability and power quality for the Electric System. 4. The balances as of June 30, 2010, for the various reserve funds maintained by the City for the Electric Division, appear to be sufficient for their defined purposes. 5. The insurance coverage in full force and effect as maintained by the City related to the various assets of the Electric Division appears to satisfy the requirements of Section 706 of the Resolution. 6. The electric revenues generated by the City’s current retail rates are more than sufficient to fulfill the debt service coverage requirement (125 percent of current expenses) defined in Section 502(c) of the Resolution. ***** City of Dover, Delaware ES-6 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment PART II ELECTRIC SYSTEM OVERVIEW AND ASSESSMENT ELECTRIC SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Electric System owned by the City of Dover, Delaware (City), primarily consists of production plant, transmission plant, distribution plant, and general plant facilities, and construction work in progress. Table II-1 displays the year-end balances of the various plant components for FY 2008 through FY 2010. Table II-2 itemizes the specific capital investment plan projects and anticipated expenditures for FY 2010, as well as projections for other components included in the FY 2011 budget. In FY 2010, the Electric System experienced an increase in the annual system peak demand and a decrease in annual energy sales from the previous year. The Electric System experienced its peak demand on August 20, 2009, when demand reached 158.8 MW. For the year, approximately 708.5 GWh of energy were sold, a decrease of 1.59 percent from the preceding year. The Electric Division projects energy sales to increase in FY 2011 to 715.6 GWh, or 0.79 percent. The Electric Division expects annual sales to remain relatively constant through FY 2014. Production Plant The City owns two power stations, the McKee Run Generating Station (McKee Run) and the VanSant Generating Station (VanSant). McKee Run consists of three steam turbine generating units with a total combined capacity of 136 megawatts (MW). VanSant is a 39-MW simple-cycle combustion turbine unit. Effective May 4, 2006, the City entered into a five-year Energy Management Agreement with PACE Global Asset Management (PACE), LLC of Fairfax, Virginia to assist the City with its energy procurement, energy sale, purchase of fuels, establishment and management of risk policies, the development and management of hedging protocols and related energy procurement challenges. On July 1, 2006, North American Energy Services (NAES) began operating the plants.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment third party purchasers. When the NRG plant is not operating the Electric Division provides power for the plant site. The Electric Division has two contracts for providing transmission service through the Electric System. As previously stated, the Electric Division provides transmission service to NRG for the output of its 16- MW electric generator. The Electric Division also has a point-to-point contract for the output of an NRG Combustion Turbine which ties directly to the Kent Substation and is not part of the Dover transmission system. General Plant The general plant category consists primarily of Electric Division administrative and operations facilities, and pollution control related equipment at McKee Run and VanSant. The agreement with NAES stipulates NAES manage the operation and maintenance of the facilities and the City funds all replacements and upgrades required to maintain the capability of the two generating stations. The City is also responsible for the costs of compliance with new regulations promulgated. Other types of items included in the general plant category include office furniture and equipment, computer-related equipment, transportation and power-operated equipment, and communication equipment. Burns & McDonnell did not specifically assess the items in the general plant category for this report. ELECTRIC SYSTEM ASSESSMENT Burns & McDonnell, the Engineering Consultant to the City, made observations and conducted assessments of the Electric System assets in support of the development of this annual Engineering Consultant’s Report. The findings of Burns & McDonnell from the review of the City’s Electric System are documented herein. Electric Generating Stations On June 8, 2010, Mr. Ted Kelly of Burns & McDonnell met with representatives of NAES to discuss the condition of the McKee Run and VanSant generating stations. Mr. Kenneth Beard, the Plant O&M Manager, coordinated the visit. Description of Generating Stations: McKee Run consists of three units. Units 1 and 2 were originally coal-fired units, which began operations in 1961 and 1962, respectively. In 1972, these units were converted to burn No. 6 fuel oil. Units 1 and 2 each have rated capacities of 17 MW. Unit 3 began City of Dover, Delaware II-4 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

Page 31

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment operations in 1975 and was designed to fire No. 6 fuel oil and natural gas. Unit 3 has a rated capacity of 102 MW. In FY 2008, the City began work to convert all three units at McKee Run to burn No. 2 fuel oil in order to reduce pollution from the plant. To date, the necessary upgrades and new equipment had been installed allowing each of the units to burn both natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil. VanSant consists of a simple cycle combustion turbine with a rated capacity of 39 MW in the summer and 40 MW in the winter. This unit commenced operation in 1991. VanSant remains unmanned, except when it is dispatched into service. On the occasions when the unit is dispatched, personnel from McKee Run are transferred to VanSant to startup and operate the unit. Management and Organization: Station management is very well organized and knowledgeable, and takes a logical approach to the operation and maintenance of the generation facilities. Mr. Vince Scire serves as the Plant Manager. The management/leadership team consists of nine members including Mr. Scire. The Administrative & Employee Health and Safety Manager, Administrative Specialist, Material Management Coordinator, and O&M Manager, all report directly to Mr. Scire. The O&M Manager oversees a Maintenance Supervisor, and four Operations teams. Each operations team consists of the supervisor and four operators working 12-hour rotating shifts. The maintenance team consists of a supervisor and six employees working 10-hour shifts. The operations and maintenance personnel are all union employees. The relationship between the union and management was reported to be excellent. McKee Run is currently at a staff level of 30 employees, with 31 approved positions. “Safety First” is an overall theme and attitude of the Electric Division. Near-miss incidents are documented, reviewed, and corrective follow-up actions are taken as required. An employee-run safety committee is actively in place. This committee conducts monthly safety meetings, completes safety equipment inspections, and defines and implements tasks to improve safety in all areas. Safety is reportedly the first topic discussed at all meetings. Employees participated in creating an indoctrination video emphasizing safety that is shown to all visitors when entering the Station. Training: The required annual OSHA compliance training is completed and documented for each employee. A formal two-day employee orientation program is required for all new employees. This orientation covers a multitude of subjects from employee benefits to a review of the various Station operating manuals. City of Dover, Delaware II-5 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

Page 32

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment For operator training, the Employee Development and Qualification Program (EDQP) has been established. EDQP is a formal program for training operators to progressively advance to positions with additional responsibilities. In addition to the above programs, cross training of various disciplines also occurs. An example of cross training would be an electrician training with instrumentation and control. Plant staff receive environmental and safety training online via the GPi Learning website. The training includes tutorials and exams to ensure comprehension of the subject matter. Plant manuals, meetings, etc. offer additional safety training. Major Equipment Operation and Maintenance: In general, the generation facilities appear to have been properly operated and maintained, and in good condition as evidenced by the high availability of the units. The generation facilities are dispatched sparingly and operate primarily as peaking units. As such, the individual units incur a relatively large number of starts per year and low annual capacity factor. Table II-3 summarizes the major FY 2010 operating statistics.

Page 33

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment The large amount of time that units are not operating allows for maintenance and repair of the units. As a result, the FY 2010 overall equivalent availability factor for the generation facilities averaged 85.08 percent. Low net capacity factors are partially offset by Pennsylvania New Jersey Maryland Interconnection (PJM) capacity credits. In FY 2010, approximately $12.1 million of PJM capacity credits helped cover the fixed operating and maintenance costs of the Electric System. PJM capacity credits are expected to continue to provide similar benefits in FY 2011 and beyond. Electronic Management System: Maintenance activities are organized, planned, and managed using MAXIMO®, a computer-based management system. All three major categories of maintenance activities (corrective, preventative, and predictive) are electronically managed by MAXIMO®. For corrective maintenance activities, any station operator or mechanic can enter a work order into the system at any terminal on the Station local area network (LAN). A supervisor reviews the request, turns it into a work order, and assigns a priority according to a predetermined categorization. The work order is then assigned to an operator or maintenance technician for completion. This system is also used to manage and track preventative maintenance activities that follow a schedule. Changing filters, turning on and off heat tracing are examples of preventative maintenance. Predictive maintenance activities practiced include oil analyses, vibration testing, and infrared surveys. Portable vibration testing equipment is used at the Stations to improve the frequency of and capabilities to trouble- shoot rotating equipment. The technology allows personnel to identify problems and take corrective actions before equipment failure occurs. Condition Assessment: The following is a summary of the condition assessment of McKee Run major equipment and VanSant as presented by the NAES staff. Burns & McDonnell made no internal assessments of equipment during the facility tour. Steam Turbines/Generators: The steam turbines and generators for VanSant and McKee Run Units 1 and 2 were reported to be in satisfactory condition with no major problems. McKee Run Unit 3 turning gear engagement problems were reported in the summer 2010 outage report. Plant staff developed a list of parts needed to complete the appropriate repairs. Plans were made to replace both mating clutch ends during the spring 2010 outage. No other major repairs or replacements were required for the turbine/generators in FY 2010.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment Boilers and Auxiliaries: Boiler inspections are conducted every year on each of the boilers. Each fiscal year, the inspections on each boiler typically include the inspection and cleaning of the major boiler components, including the mud and steam drums, the forced draft and induced draft fans, the windbox, condenser water box, condenser tubes, hotwell, air preheater components, and safety valves. In FY 2010, McKee Run Unit 1 experienced a tube failure and excursion and consequently was shut down. The City hired a contractor to supplied replacement parts and repaired the tube by replacing a tube section. After an internal inspection, plant staff made the decision to replace six additional tubes in Unit 1. The City subsequently hired inspectors to examine the repaired unit and provide recommendations additional repairs and inspections. These maintenance recommendations will be in practice upon future outages. In 2010 the McKee Run Units 1 and 2 steam drums were also inspected. It was reported that the surfaces inside the Unit 1 steam drum had improved from the prior year while Unit 2 has experienced some rusting. A few recommendations were given and are being actively followed. Station Cooling Water Systems: The Station has split cooling water systems with one system serving Unit 1 and Unit 2 and a separate system serving Unit 3. The cooling water systems are reported to be sufficiently sized and in satisfactory condition, with no major issues reported at the time of this report. Fuel Handling Systems: Natural gas comes into the station in a 4-inch diameter pipeline for Unit 1 and Unit 2 and in a 10-inch diameter pipeline for Unit 3. No. 2 fuel oil is delivered to the station and unloaded into tanks. Forwarding pumps deliver the fuel oil to each of the units. Water Treatment/Steam Purity: Quality control parameters for boiler feed-water, internal boiler water, cooling tower water, and steam purity are checked at a minimum of twice per day when systems are operating. Results are recorded and graphically compared to control limits. Adjustments are then made as required. Boiler feed water is treated city water (well water from City) using a regenerative ion resin demineralizer system, along with deaeration for oxygen control. Boilers 1 and 2 use a coordinated phosphate control for boiler internal purity control and Boiler 3 uses a balanced trisodium phosphate and disodium phosphate within a narrow pH range. A deep-bored water well was installed to provide water in addition to the city supplied water. City water has a high chlorine level which may exceed the Station permitted limits. By combining city water with the well water, the chlorine levels can be maintained at the permitted limits. Water for cooling tower makeup is also obtained from City water.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment control parameter is silica concentration. Blow down is adjusted as required to maintain control. No major issues were reported at the time of this report. Steam purity is not continuously monitored. Samples are taken twice daily and tested for pH, conductivity, and silica. There have not been any problems with steam purity. Annual inspections of the boiler drums and separation internals have verified that these systems are intact and operating properly. The station has not experienced any internal corrosion related failures, steam path deposits, or excessive condenser fouling. NALCO provides water treatment consulting services and chemicals. A representative visits the station once per week to review test data and check chemical usage rates. No major issues were reported at the time of this report. Station Electrical Systems: Overall, station electrical systems and transformers are considered to be in satisfactory condition. A condition assessment of the generation facilities’ transformers was conducted in August FY 2010. Oil inspections and analyses were made. Transformer inspections were generally positive; however, it was recommended that plant personnel consider treatment to remove moister and particles from a Unit 1 bus yard transformer to prevent reducing the dielectric. Aside from this recommendation, the inspector recommended that normal operation continue for all the transformers at the plant. Oil sampling is now completed twice per year. Station Control Systems: Unit 1 and Unit 2 controls are electro-pneumatic and Unit 3 controls are a distributed control system (DCS). In general, the station control systems are considered to be in satisfactory condition. The Unit 1 and Unit 2 control systems are outdated but perform satisfactorily. All relays have recently been inspected at both McKee Run and VanSant for NERC, PJM and MAAC compliance. The EHC system will be modified in the future to become a primary/primary system. No major issues were reported at the time of this report. General Facilities: No major projects or improvements were completed to the General Facilities in FY 2010 other than routine maintenance and repairs. In general, the station facilities appeared clean and well maintained during the site visit. In FY 2010, fire protection system upgrades were completed at McKee Run per the City’s insurance company’s recommendations. The insurance company toured the plant and identified/recommended a need to install a manually operated foam deluge system to protect bearings in the event of a fire.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment A solar was installed on the turbine roof in FY 2010. The 10-kW structure was installed to reduce the need for energy and emissions from traditional generation sources, and ultimately contribute to the reduction of the plants’ carbon footprint. VanSant Generating Station: In general, the unit is operated infrequently, but is well maintained. Although the station is only manned when operating, an operator performs a twice daily walk through with a checklist of items to review and the results are logged. Planned outages were conducted at VanSant during FY 2010 for the annual overhaul and inspection. In FY 2010, the computer system and hazardous waste upgrades were made at VanSant. Due to the inadequacies of the old OEM system, the City completed an upgrade of the control system to Mark IV. A natural gas condensate container to reduce hazardous waste amounts and costs was also installed. No other major repairs or upgrades were made at VanSant in FY 2010. Transmission and Distribution Systems On June 8, 2010, Mr. Ted Kelly visited the City to collect information and to observe the City transmission and distribution system, as operated and maintained by the Electric Division. Mr. Steve Enss, the Engineering Services & System Operations Superintendent, provided information related to the transmission and distribution system. Mr. Enss also led a tour of the electric transmission and distribution system. The Electric Division distributes power to its customers by a network of transmission lines, distribution substations, and distribution lines. The transmission lines are rated at 69 kV and are connected to 15 distribution substations located throughout the service area. The distribution substations reduce the power from transmission voltages to the primary distribution voltages of 12 kV to facilitate distribution of electric power to customers. In FY 2008, the last of the 22 kV and 4 kV lines were converted to 69 kV and 12 kV to make the system uniform. Safety: Ronald Lunt, the Public Utilities Director for the City, reported to Burns & McDonnell that there were no reportable injuries or lost workdays in FY 2010. System Reliability: The Electric Division provides for reliability of its distribution system by configuring a majority of its distribution circuits in primary open loop arrangements, improving existing City of Dover, Delaware II-10 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment circuits, and installing adequate substation transformer capacity. Normal transformer and line loading are limited to provide sufficient margin to convey firm power requirements during an emergency or a switching operation, or for maintenance. Power Quality: The Electric Division does not have any significant power quality problems. The overall power factor for the Electric System decreased from approximately 99.24 percent in FY 2009 to 98.72 percent in FY 2010. Power transformers equipped with load tap changers regulate bus voltages at the distribution substations. Distribution transformers are equipped with no-load taps to make voltage adjustments. There are capacitors and voltage regulators on the Electric System that control voltage and vars on the portion of the system furthest away from the current source and generation. The system operators monitor the power factor closely and turn on capacitors or adjust the generation to compensate for low power factors. Operations and Maintenance: The Electric Division has a SCADA system that is monitored continuously for any problems that may arise in the Electric System. The main control room has two system operator desks and a large screen where system operating information is displayed. System operators can monitor the Electric System operation, such as voltage levels, current flows, etc. and make necessary adjustments as problems arise. The systems operators have received some PJM training but are not required to be certified as Delmarva is the controlling agency. Loading on substation transformers used for an emergency, a switching operation, or maintenance is limited to 120 percent of the rated capacity, followed by a 12-hour cool-down period. The Electric Division has nine line crews to work on the system. Four crews are responsible for overhead lines, four crews are responsible for underground lines, and one crew is responsible for maintenance. The primary responsibilities of the eight line crews are installation of new service connections and construction of new lines. The Trouble crew maintains the street lights, repairs underground services and is the first responder to outages. Tree trimming is now contracted out and is no longer performed by the Electrical Division; however, their performance is monitored by the Line Crew Superintendent. The Substation/Relay Maintenance Division is responsible for operation and maintenance of the substations and associated equipment. They perform visual inspections of substations, associated equipment, trip counter checks, battery systems checks, and annual transformer oil tests.

This is accomplished by awarding a five year contract to spread out the expenses. The City also has a contract with an environmental consultant to check each substation for oil leaks and to provide instruction on cleaning up in the event of an oil spill. Design Standards and Specifications: The Electric Division designs the transmission and distribution circuits and some substation upgrades in conformance with national safety standards. Other substation and transmission design is contracted out to Pike Electric, Inc. The underground distribution design utilizes road or alley front access construction. This design means the electrical equipment, such as transformers and underground cable, are installed beside the road instead of behind houses or buildings. The advantage of front access construction is the accessibility for maintenance and repairs to cable and electric equipment. The underground cables are installed in PVC pipe for added protection and for easy cable replacement. The Electric Division installs jacketed, concentric cable that is rated at 15 kV, with 133 percent Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation. The standard overhead distribution design utilizes a flat construction using a single cross-arm and insulators on 45-foot class 2 poles. Typically all electrical equipment locations have ground rods installed with measured readings of 25 ohms or less. The substation design is generally a low-profile rigid bus design. The circuit breakers are SF6 gas-filled and the relays are microprocessor based with SCADA control and monitoring. Transmission and Distribution Improvements: The following describes completed, on- going, and planned improvements to the City’s Electric System: Completed: • St. Jones Substation Upgrades • Crossgates Substation Upgrades • Mid City Substation Upgrades • Pollution Remediation Project • Fire Detection Alarm System Installation • Computerized Maintenance System Upgrade • Control System Upgrade City of Dover, Delaware II-12 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part II – Electric System Overview and Assessment System Tour: The tour of the Electric System included drive-by observations of a sample of the transmission circuits, distribution circuits, and substations. The Electric System was in good condition and appeared to be well maintained. The Cartanza Substation is a 230/69 kV substation, which serves as a tie with Delmarva. Delmarva maintains the 230 kV side of the station, while the City of Dover maintains the 69 kV side. Cartanza currently has four 69 kV lines leaving the station. The four circuits leave the station on two diverse pole lines, each holding a double circuit, until the circuits split down the line. This configuration allows for two separate loops for the entire 69 kV system to minimize total system failure should one common pole be critically damaged. Most of the fifteen substations were observed during the tour. Several of the major projects visited during the tour included the St. Jones Substation project, the 69 kV Feeders 3 and 4 projects, the Horsepond 600 Transformer project, the Lebanon Transformer Replacement project, and the Mayfair Substation Rebuild project. Overall, the substations appeared to be well maintained. Some older structures have corrosion on the steel, but much of this steel will be replaced by planned or ongoing projects and upgrades. There was little to no vegetation visible and the yards appeared to be well maintained. During the tour the 69 kV lines were observed and all appeared to be in good condition. Conclusions Based on statements and information provided, as well as the observations and reviews performed, it is the opinion of Burns & McDonnell that the City’s power generation facilities are being operated and maintained consistent with accepted electric utility practice in the United States. In general, the performance, operation, maintenance, staff, planning, and training aspects for the McKee Run and VanSant stations were found to be above average. Specifically, the generation facilities have demonstrated a high level of availability despite the dispatching of the units primarily for peak demand. In addition, it is the opinion of Burns & McDonnell that the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the City’s electric transmission and distribution system and the associated facilities are consistent with current generally accepted electric utility standards. The City and the Electric Division are proactive in preventative maintenance and expansion of the Electric System before problems arise. ***** City of Dover, Delaware II-14 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

PART III – FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT

Page 42

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part III – Financial Assessment PART III FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT The financial results of the City of Dover, Delaware (City) Electric System for the fiscal year (FY) ended June 30, 2010, were generated through the management and operation of the Electric System by the Electric Division. A review of the financial results was provided below. FINANCIAL RESULTS The total revenue of the Electric Division during FY 2010 included revenue from charges for electric service, as well as miscellaneous revenues from items such as rents, penalties, reconnection fees, and emission credits. On the Comparative Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Unreserved Retained Earnings table, revenues were compared to the Electric Division’s costs of providing services to its customers to determine whether the financial requirements of the Electric Division were met. Required Revenue Level The level of revenues required from the retail electric rates for the Electric Division were determined through the analysis of the financial results and net income or net margins for the most recent fiscal year. The City of Dover, Delaware Resolution Authorizing and Securing Electric Revenue Bonds, adopted December 23, 1985 requires that the Electric Division maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25. The following is an excerpt from Section 502(c) of the resolution. “(c) The total amount of the Revenues of the Electric System during the preceding fiscal year shall have been not less than the total of the following: (1) The Current Expenses of the Electric System during the current fiscal years shown by the Annual Budget . . . for such fiscal year, and (2) One hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the maximum amount of the Principal and Interest Requirements for any fiscal year thereafter on account of all bonds then Outstanding under the provisions of this Resolution. The City further covenants that, from time to time and as often as it shall appear necessary, it will adjust the electric rates as may be necessary or proper so that the revenues of the Electric System in each fiscal year will not be less than the total of the amounts set forth in subdivision (c) of this section.” City of Dover, Delaware III-1 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part III – Financial Assessment Electric Rates Customers of the Electric Division of the City are charged for the electric service based on rate schedules, tariffs, or contracts that reflect the costs to the Electric Division of providing that service. For purposes of setting electric rates, customers with similar load and service characteristics should be placed in the same rate classification. A comprehensive cost-of-service and rate design study was completed in 2006 and subsequent rate analyses were completed in 2007 and 2008 to examine revenue requirements and revenue generation. Specifically, the 2006 rate study was conducted to address increased costs associated with a new power supply contract that became effective on July 1, 2006. The rate study recommended combining a number of rate classes and implementing rate increases on July 1, 2006. The 2006 rate study also recommended an additional increase be implemented on January 1, 2007 to cover increased costs associated with operating the generating station. The 2007 and 2008 rate analyses re-examined Electric Division revenues and expenses and recognized additional revisions to power supply costs. As a result of these analyses, additional rate increases were implemented on July 1, 2007, and July 1, 2008. The July 2008 rate adjustments established the rate schedules utilized by the Electric Division today. • Residential • Transmission • Small Commercial (1 Phase, 3 Phase, & 1 • Outdoor Development Lighting Phase Heating) • Private Outdoor Lighting • Medium Commercial (1 Phase & 3 Phase) • Water Pump • Large Commercial (3 Phase with Reactive • Water Pump 2 Metering) • Supplemental for NRG • Primary Operating Results Table III-1 presents a summary of the energy sales, the number of customers, and the average kilowatt- hour (kWh) energy per customer of the Electric Division for FY 2008 through FY 2010. Total energy sales decreased from 719.9 GWh in FY 2009 to 708.5 GWh in FY 2010, a decrease of 1.59 percent. Table III-2 presents revenues from sales, revenue per kWh ratios, and average revenue per customer ratios for each revenue classification. Total revenue from sales to electric customers in FY 2010 was approximately $98.1 million, representing a decrease of $1.6 million, or -1.57 percent from FY 2009.

This relationship identifies the level of unaccounted for energy in the Electric System. This unaccounted for energy may include energy that was unmetered, metered inaccurately, stolen, lost, PJM transmission line losses, local system line/transformer losses, etc. The bottom portion of Table III-3 presents these comparisons for the Electric Division for FY 2008 through FY 2010. As shown, the percentage ratio of the unaccounted for energy to the total energy purchased for FY 2010 was 5.7 percent. This number is up from 4.2 percent in FY 2009. Table III-4 presents a re-creation of the City’s Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Unreserved Retained Earnings for the Electric Revenue Fund for FY 2008 through FY 2010. Net income increased from FY 2009, totaling $3.3 million in FY 2010. A number of factors contributed to the increase, namely an overall decrease in power supply cost. The City experienced an increase in operating income of $2.4 million over the previous year. This coupled with the following reductions generated the $3.3 million of positive income. A large decrease attributed to reducing employee benefit funding occurred due to not funding OPEB in 2010 along with decreases in labor attributed to furloughs and power supply costs. Effective May 4, 2006, the City entered into a five-year Energy Management Agreement with PACE of Fairfax, Virginia to assist the City with its energy procurement and sales, the purchase of fuels, City of Dover, Delaware III-5 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part III – Financial Assessment Adequacy of Electric Rates The City’s Bond Resolution requires annual revenues of the Electric Division be no less than the total current expenses plus 125 percent of the greatest remaining annual debt service. “Current expenses”, as defined in the Resolution, includes all expenses necessary to maintain and repair the Electric System, all administrative expenses, and engineering, legal or other consultant fees. Transfers to reserve accounts and special purpose funds, and allowances for depreciation are specifically excluded from “current expenses.” In order to determine if the City and the Electric Division have met this requirement, the net income shown in Table III-4 was adjusted to include the interest on bonds, depreciation expense, and other non- cash income and expenses. Table III-5 presents the adjustments to net income and the determination of the revenues available for debt service for FY 2008 though FY 2010. As Table III-5 illustrates, the City and the Electric Division maintained a debt service coverage ratio each year that exceeded the required 125 percent plus current expenses. Therefore, the revenues generated by the current electric rates have been sufficient to meet the applicable covenants of the Resolution.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part III – Financial Assessment interest amounts due on bonds currently outstanding. The calculation of the debt service coverage ratio in Table III-5 is based on the total maximum debt service expense in any fiscal year. The FY 2010 calculation was based on the total FY 2012 debt service expense of $3,347,479. STATUS OF REVENUE BONDS At the end of FY 2010, the City had two series of outstanding electric revenue bonds that were issued pursuant to the Resolution. The 2004 Electric Revenue Bonds (2004 Bonds) were issued in 2004, in the amount of $22,535,000. These bonds were issued to refund the 1990 and 1993 bonds. On July 1, 2008, the City issued $22,200,000 in Electric Revenue Bonds (2008 Bonds). The proceeds from the sale of the 2008 Bonds were used (i) to finance or reimburse the City for improvements to the City’s electric system; (ii) to fund a Debt Service Reserve Fund; and (iii) to pay the costs of issuance of the 2008 Bonds. On November 17, 2010, the City issued $8,810,000 of Electric Revenue Refunding Bonds (Series 2010). The proceeds from the sale of the Series 2010 Bonds will be used (i) to refund the Series 2004 Bonds, and (ii) to pay the costs of issuance of the Series 2010 Bonds. The non-taxable Series 2010 Bonds received an underlying rating of Aa2 by Moody’s Investors Services and an underlying rating of A+ by Fitch Ratings. Table III-6 illustrates the debt service schedule for the Series 2008 and 2010 Bonds. The principal and interest and the annual total are shown for each series of bonds.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part III – Financial Assessment OPERATING AND RESERVE FUNDS The City has established several funds and reserves to ensure that moneys are available for specific purposes when they are needed. The following are descriptions of each fund and their purpose. • Electric Revenue Fund – The Electric Revenue Fund was established in Section 503 of the Resolution. All revenues are to be deposited into the Electric Revenue Fund when received. Current expenses are to be paid and other funds are to be maintained from the Electric Revenue Fund. Moneys are transferred from the Electric Revenue Fund to the Interest and Sinking Fund, Improvement and Extension Fund, the Depreciation Reserve Fund, Future Capacity Fund, and Electric Rate Stabilization Fund. • Electric Improvement and Extension Fund – The Improvement and Extension Fund was established in Section 507 of the Resolution. Funds are added to the Improvement and Extension Fund from the Electric Revenue Fund to the extent that the amount of funds available from the Electric Revenue Fund exceeds the total of the amounts required to be added to the Interest and Sinking Fund. The Improvement and Extension Fund also receives additional funding from the Depreciation Fund, the Future Capacity Fund, the Insurance Stabilization Fund, and from the State of Delaware. Section 510 of the Resolution indicates that, except for certain situations, moneys held in the Improvement and Extension Fund are to be used only for payment of costs of unusual maintenance or repairs, renewals or replacements, obtaining or replacing equipment, constructing extensions, additions, or improvements, and engineering expenses related to the foregoing activities. • Interest and Sinking Fund – The Interest and Sinking Fund was established in Section 507 of the Resolution. This fund consists of two restricted accounts: the Bond Service account and the Reserve Account. The Bond Service Account is funded with equal monthly transfers from the Electric Revenue Fund such that the balance, as of each payment date for interest or for principal and interest, will be equal to the amount of the payment due. The payments of principal and interest due on bonds are made from the Bond Service Account. The Reserve Account is funded by transfers from the Electric Revenue Fund, as necessary, to maintain a balance equal to the maximum combined principal and interest for any future fiscal year through the life of all bonds then outstanding. Moneys in the Reserve Account are used for paying interest on and principal of bonds when the balance in the Bond Service Account is insufficient for making those payments. Excess moneys in the Reserve Account are also used towards paying current interest payments. The total amount in the Restricted Accounts for the 2004 and 2008 bonds as of June 30, 2010, was $3,337,882.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part III – Financial Assessment • Depreciation Reserve Fund – The Depreciation Reserve Fund represents moneys that have been set aside for the sole purpose of funding renewals and replacements of the Electric System as components or equipment wear out, deteriorate, or otherwise become unsuitable for the intended purpose. Transfers from the Electric Revenue Fund and investment earnings are the only sources of additional moneys for the Depreciation Reserve Fund. Transfers to the Improvement and Extension Fund are made as necessary to fund capital projects. The target appropriation for the Depreciation Reserve Fund each year is the excess of depreciation expense for the year over the amount of principal included in debt service payments made during the year. The reserve balance at the end of FY 2010 was $8,021,155. • Future Capacity Fund – The Future Capacity Fund was established to set aside and accumulate funds from the Electric Revenue Fund for use in evaluating and pursuing activities related to the Electric Division’s alternatives for power supply resources for future demand for electricity. The original target balance for this reserve was $5,000,000. The reserve balance at the end of FY 2010 was $9,023,928. • Insurance Stabilization Fund – The Insurance Stabilization Fund was established by the City to provide for the funding of insurance deductibles in the event of loss(es) covered by the City’s insurance policies then in effect. The target balance in the Insurance Stabilization Reserve is $350,000. The reserve balance at the end of FY 2010 was $396,530. • Contingency Reserve Fund – The Contingency Reserve Fund was established by the City in FY 2003 to provide for unplanned expenditures that may not be avoidable. The City’s Financial Policies require that a minimum balance be maintained in the Contingency Reserve Fund equal to 1.0 percent of the current year revenues for the Electric Revenue Fund. The FY 2010 end-of-year balance was $1,039,766, which is equal to 1.04 percent of the FY 2010 revenues for the Electric Revenue Fund. • Electric Rate Stabilization Fund – The Electric Rate Stabilization Fund was established in FY 2005 to offset the costs of the power cost adjustment to the customers of Dover. The fund’s target balance is a minimum of 3.0 percent, not to exceed 10.0 percent, of purchase power cost in any given year. Any excess of this amount will be refunded to customers by reducing the rate of the power cost adjustment. The fund’s FY 2010 end-of-year balance was $4,776,519, which was 7.15 percent of the FY 2010 purchased power cost.

2010 Engineering Consultant’s Report Part IV – Conclusions PART IV CONCLUSIONS In the preparation of this Engineering Consultant’s Report, Burns & McDonnell completed assessments of the electric generating stations and the transmission and distribution system of the City Electric Division. The investigations included interviews, observations, and reviews of FY 2010 expenditures and FY 2011 budgets. In addition, an analysis of the balances of the Improvement and Extension Fund and other funds benefiting the Electric Division was performed. Burns & McDonnell also reviewed the adequacy of the revenues provided by the current retail rates in relation to the requirements of the City of Dover, Delaware Resolution Authorizing and Securing Electric Revenue Bonds, adopted December 23, 1985. A high level assessment of the City’s insurance coverage related to the Electric Division was also completed. Based on these reviews and assessments, it is Burns & McDonnell’s opinion that: 1. The City’s power generation facilities are being operated and maintained consistent with accepted electric utility practice in the United States. 2. The design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the City’s electric transmission and distribution system and the associated facilities are consistent with current generally accepted electric utility standards. 3. The Electric Division capital projects included in the City’s Capital Investment Plan and the FY 2011 Operating Budget are necessary and should provide improved reliability and power quality for the Electric System. 4. The balances as of June 30, 2010 for the various reserve funds maintained by the City for the Electric Division appear to be sufficient for their defined purposes. 5. The insurance coverage in full force and affect as maintained by the City related to the various assets of the Electric Division appears to satisfy the requirements of Section 706 of the Resolution. 6. The electric revenues generated by the City’s current retail rates are more than sufficient to fulfill the debt service coverage requirement defined in Section 502(c) of the Resolution. ***** City of Dover, Delaware IV-1 Bur ns & McDonnell Engineering Company Electric Division Kansas City, Missouri

Memorandum Public Services Manager P. O. Box 475 City Hall/ The Plaza Dover, Delaware 19903-0475 Phone: (302) 736-7026 Fax: (302) 736-7177 E-mail:skoenig@dover.de.us TO: Utility Committee Members FROM: Scott D. Koenig, P.E., Public Services Manager Anthony J. DePrima, AICP, ICMA-CM, City Manager Ann Marie Townshend, AICP, Director of Planning & Community Development DATE: January 3, 2011 SUBJECT: Development Projects – Performance & Maintenance Bonding Concerns As part of a shared performance goal, the City Manager, the Public Services Manager and the Director of Planning & Community Development conducted a series of four (4) internal meetings to brainstorm various ideas regarding concerns raised about Performance & Maintenance Bonding in subdivisions, site plan compliance, ensuring the functionality of homeowners associations (HOAs), and other development project problems. These meetings were held in October, November and December of 2010. Eight (8) specific problems/concerns were identified. Each problem is listed below along with one or more suggestions to improve the area of concern. Problem #1 – Active Recreation Areas in some Subdivisions / Site Plans (Apartments) are not being completed in proportion to the lots constructed. Article 5, Section 10.6 of the Zoning Ordinance is weak and difficult to enforce. It is difficult to build the recreation areas in proportion to the lots / building permits, as specified by code; therefore, an alternative solution must be developed. Possible Solutions: 1. Require specific phasing plan for the Active Recreation Plan. 2. Require a Performance Bond / Letter Of Credit (LOC) equal to 150% of the value (or add the active recreation improvements to current infrastructure LOC). LOC is preferred over a bond as the LOC creates more leverage. Note: A Code amendment is required to accomplish this.

Page 60

Problem #2 – Some projects are partially built and the construction or the site work has been abandoned. (Examples: Enterprise Business Park, Tall Pines, Dove View) Possible Solutions: 1. Fund a Demolition Reserve that can be sustained with monies collected from liens and be used to demolish or safely seal construction. 2. Amend Tall Grass & Weed Ordinance (Chapter 114, Article II) to allow the City to regrade or restore the property and place a lien against the property to collect the costs. 3. Amend state law for Demolition Liens to allow for the City to recover costs through sheriff’s sale. 4. A Dangerous Building (DB) declaration accelerates tax sale (for delinquent taxes). This is an administrative action that is already in place. Problem #3 – Failure of HOA to take over initial responsibilities or HOA does not form or stay formed and therefore fails to function. Common Areas are not maintained. (Example: Four Seasons) Possible Solutions: 1. Amend assessment section of the code to allow city to bill and lien individual property owners for the common areas that the City is forced to maintain. 2. Amend subdivision ordinance to require an escrow start up account so HOA is capitalized from the beginning. 3. Buyers somehow are notified and certify / acknowledge that they are required to be part of the HOA and that there are maintenance responsibilities for which the HOA is responsible. Possible venues could include requiring that information be posted conspicuously in model homes or the City could send a letter after real estate transfer tax is received. 4. Require developer to meet guideline to turn over HOA at 75% of the initial phase of the development. - City could facilitate initial HOA meeting – Notice, Public Meeting at City Hall, City representative in attendance - Ensure elected official in attendance. 5. Amend subdivision ordinance to include a specific turnover requirement. 6. Amend subdivision ordinance to require a Certified Management Agency. Problem #4 – Stormwater / Passive Open Space – Not Being Maintained Possible Solutions: 1. Amend sections of the code addressing special assessment (Chapter 94) and/or amend tall grass and weeds (Chapter 114) to allow staff to hire contractors to maintain the passive open space and/or stormwater management areas and bill the property owners (developer or individual owners) and place a lien against the property to recover costs. 2. Create a Limited Stormwater Utility  Unilateral authority to take over facilities that are not being maintaned  Start with new developments

Page 61

Problem #5 – Nuisance issues such as maintenance of buildable lots with homes, partially complete homes, partially complete subdivisions, roll-off trash containers for construction debris, soil stockpiles and material storage areas are degrading the overall quality of various subdivisions (in both dedicated and undedicated subdivisions). Possible Solutions: 1. Require an upfront agreement and escrow deposit from the developer of the subdivision ($1,000 / lot) to address these issues if they arise. 2. Provide incentives to dedicate infrastructure – Bill developer for Street Light operating costs and pump station maintenance until subdivision is dedicated. Problem #6 – Sidewalk network not complete and the developer wants to dedicate the rights-of-way and infrastructure. Possible Solutions: 1. Require all sidewalk construction to be complete prior to dedication. This position would maintain the status quo. 2. Add option that developer can go to Safety Advisory & Transportation Committee with a special Letter of Credit for the uncompleted sidewalks on the streets to be dedicated. The uncompleted sidewalks are associated with lots that have not had building permits issued as of that date. Potential enhancement to this option is to require a Public Hearing with notice to all residents and/or property owners in the development. Problem #7 – Snow Removal on uncompleted and/or undedicated streets represents a serious service delivery problem for the City of Dover and residents in these areas. Possible Solutions: 1. Require a maintenance escrow to be set up by the developer that can be used for snow and ice removal. 2. Require a signed contract between the developer and a private contractor responsible for snow removal be shared with the City. Problem #8 – The City does not provide a full range of services on undedicated streets since they are considered private property. (i.e. – snow removal, street sweeping, speed enforcement) Possible Solutions: 1. Earlier dedication – city would accept dedication of uncompleted streets and follow up with completion of the infrastructure on a designated time line identified in the dedication action. 2. Require more extensive maintenance agreement with longer time period for coverage.

Hedged transactions accounted for 47,810 MWhs or 88% of this volume (88% of forecasted load) at a cost of $3.61 million. Spot Market purchases resulted in a PJM charge of $307 thousand (a $424 thousand charge in the Day Ahead market and a $117 thousand credit in the Real Time market). Other PJM related charges accounted for an additional cost of $1.4 million, inclusive of all load related fees. November’s Energy Only Unit Cost, excluding capacity obligations and credits, was $2.12/MWh favorable compared to the budgeted value of $84.68/MWh. Dover’s projected all in Cost of Service for FY2010-2011 is $88.08/MWh, or $3.15/MWh favorable as compared to the Budget1. Generation and Asset Management For the month of November the McKee Run and Van Sant units were not dispatched into the PJM market. A relatively low average for on-peak LMPs during the month demonstrated that the PJM system did not generally require support from peaking units. The budget did not project generation for this month. Emissions Allowance Management Given the regulatory uncertainty surrounding the allowance markets, Dover has elected not to include revenues from emission allowance sales in its 2010-2011 fiscal year budget. Dover purchased and retired 53 NOX seasonal allowances on November 23rd in order to meet its 2010 NOX seasonal compliance position. An appropriate number of allowances associated with unit dispatch events during the current fiscal year have been set aside for retirement (see Exhibit 1). The following emissions summary reflects Dover’s emissions and allowance balance through the 1 The projected all in Cost of Service is based on YTD actual results for 5 months and 7 months of projected costs. 2

The facility has now gone 47 days without an OSHA recordable accident and 47 consecutive days without a lost time reportable accident. There were zero Environmental Notices of Violations issued and no near miss events. There were no unit dispatches by PJM for the generating Units at McKee Run or the Unit at Van Sant. Units 1, 2 and 3 scheduled maintenance outages were completed on November 21. 2 Pace Global is assuming and recommending that Dover retire vintage 2010 SO2 allowances for its 2010 emissions. Per CAIR, 2010 or later vintage allowances are worth half of a ton for compliance purposes. Given the regulatory and legislative uncertainty surrounding the SO2 markets, and the greater value 2009 allowances have for compliance purposes, Pace Global recommends retaining 2009 vintage allowances over 2010 vintage allowances when possible. 3 To facilitate tracking of emission allowances, the EPA assigns an identification number and serial number to every allowance. During the allowance transfer transaction, 139 unaccounted SO2 allowances from vintage years 2003-06 were utilized. 4 Corrected 2007 SO2 tons emitted to reflect actual emission for Units 3 & 11. The December 2007 report included emissions for all four units. 5 Approximately 10 tons of NOx emissions resulted from the February 2010 McKee Run testing associated with the Pollution Remediation project and the June 2010 emission testing project. 4

Monthly Budget Variance - The actual expenses attributable to O&M of the two sites for the month of November were $447,254. These expenses were $62,952, or 16.38%, over the approved budget of $384,302. The principal reasons for this negative variance were due to higher electricity demand charges, and the repair costs associated with the repair of the Unit 3 boiler. Risk Management Summary Forward PJM power prices were fell in the short-term and remained largely flat further out since the last reporting period. The 2010-2011 year fell while the outer years stayed mostly flat. Continued high storage numbers have been the major factor in driving the prompt year downward, while the remainder of the curve has been less affected by this due to a projected increase in demand in future years. Forward Dover Zone power prices for FY 2010-11 decreased by $2.51 (a decrease of 5.37%) since the last reporting period while FY 2011-2012, FY 2012-2013, FY 2013-2014, and FY 2014-2015 all changed by approximately $0.33/MWh to $-0.57/MWh (an change between 0.64% increase and a 0.97% decrease) compared with the last reporting period.

Page 76

2.2 – VARIANCE ANALYSIS Power Supply • Power Supply realized a favorable $44 thousand variance compared to the budget. This favorable variance was primarily due to the timing of Dover’s options purchase and payment of the associated premium. During FY2009-10 the City of Dover purchased Options as insurance to protect Dover from incremental energy cost exposure. The current City of Dover power supply and generation budget indicates that 100% of this purchase was expensed as a Power Supply Cost in the FY2009-10 period, however the FY2010-11 budget accrues this expense monthly. • PJM Charges for Load experienced a positive $71 thousand variance relative to the monthly budget. This variance was driven by favorable variances that include a $97 thousand favorable variance in Basis costs and a $251 thousand favorable Load Following variance. Offsetting these favorable variances were a $115 thousand unfavorable variance in open position costs, a $21 thousand unfavorable variance in the Transmission Loss Refund, a $54 thousand Transmission Cost increase (in June PJM raised the transmission costs going forward due to the transmission owner’s update of its annual network service requirements and rates), a $12 thousand unfavorable variance in Transmission Rights Credits, and a $76 thousand unfavorable variance in PJM ancillary charges. • Capacity Charges for Load realized a negative $51 thousand variance relative to the monthly budget. This variance is the result of PJM finalizing its new prices for the FY 2010-11 PJM Base Residual Auction. These revised prices, which became effective in June 2010, resulted in a 5% increase in the per MW-day UCAP charge applicable to Dover (increasing the rate to $187.34/MW-day). PJM also adjusted the Interruptible Load for Reliability (ILR) resources cost for the Delivery Year relative to the Forecasted RTO IRL Obligation in a manner that negatively impacts Dover. These charges will result in unfavorable variances each month during the current fiscal year. • For the month a favorable $116 thousand net variance between Power Supply (fixed positions) and PJM Charges for Load (open positions, transmission, etc.) was realized due to an unfavorable $14 thousand variance, caused by a change in volume, and a favorable $130 thousand variance, caused by a change in price. Hence, 100% of the favorable variance can be attributed to pricing changes. • The Power Supply Management variance includes a volume variance adjustment to the fixed monthly rate paid in October and is merely an estimate at this point. 8

Page 77

Generation • Plant O&M reported an unfavorable variance of $63 thousand compared to the monthly O&M Budget of $384 thousand. The principal reasons for this unfavorable variance were (i) higher than expected electric demand charges, and (ii) unbudgeted costs associated with Unit 3 boiler. Emission Allowance Sales • In order to meet compliance requirements, Dover is required to retire seasonal and annual NOx allowances. To fully comply with its obligations, Dover purchased 51 NOX seasonal allowances in November and is also expected to procure additional NOx annual allowances early next year. Once all anticipated purchase and retirement activities for the 2010 period are complete, Dover’s seasonal and annual inventories will be zero. 9

Purchased Commodity Fuel Oil Summary Neither McKee Run nor Van Sant was dispatched into PJM and no #2 fuel oil was consumed for the month. The McKee Run tank must maintain 3 days of load equivalent dispatches for its units. Due to a low fuel inventory level at McKee Run, Pace procured a quantity of fuel oil sufficient to bring the City of Dover’s inventory into compliance with approved levels. This procurement resulted in four transactions with Hess for a total of 82,563 gallons of no. 2 fuel oil. These purchases were completed in late October and early November, with fuel delivers occurring between October 28th and November 3rd. The McKee Run tank must maintain 3 days of load equivalent dispatches for its units.

3.3 – EMISSIONS AND ALLOWANCE MANAGEMENT Given the regulatory uncertainty surrounding the allowance markets, Dover has elected not to include revenues from emission allowance sales in its 2010-2011 fiscal year budget. Dover purchased and retired 53 NOX seasonal allowances on November 23rd in order to meet its 2010 NOX seasonal compliance position. An appropriate number of allowances associated with unit dispatch events during the current fiscal year have been set aside for retirement (see Exhibit 1). The following emissions summary reflects Dover’s emissions and allowance balance through the end of November, but does not account for the potential annual NOx allowances needed for retirement.

(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. Given current dispatch expectations, the market value of the remaining 2007-2010 Dover allowance inventory is approximately $34,766.25 at the time of this report. This represents 3,191 pre-CAIR SO2 allowances trading at $8.25/ton and 1,986 post-CAIR SO2 allowances8 trading at $4.25/ton. NOx seasonal allowances are currently trading at $30/ton, however after an expected true-up with 2010 ozone seasonal NOX program, Dover does not currently have any NOX seasonal allowances in its allowance bank. NOx annual allowances are currently trading at $290/ton, however after an expected true-up with the 2010 annual season NOx program, Dover does not have any NOx annual allowances in its bank. SO2 After hitting near rock bottom pricing levels to end November, SO2 prices both for pre- and post- CAIR allowances rebounded some as 2010 comes to a close (see Figure 1 – SO2 Prices since Last Monthly Report). Major question remains regarding the value of existing SO2 allowances for compliance purposes after new regulatory rules are finalized by the Clean Air Transport Rule (Transport Rule). Pace Global’s expectation based on current draft language is that the existing bank of SO2 allowances will not be permitted for compliance under the Transport Rule. Current pricing supports this expectation. Figure 1 – SO2 Prices since Last Monthly Report SO2 Allowance Prices (Oct / Nov) $9.00 $8.00 $7.00 $6.00 $5.00 $4.00 $3.00 $2.00 $1.00 $0.00 2009 (pre‐CAIR) 2010 (post‐CAIR) 8 Pace Global is assuming and recommending that Dover retire vintage 2010 SO2 allowances for its 2010 emissions. Per CAIR, 2010 or later vintage allowances are worth half of a ton for compliance purposes. Given the regulatory and legislative uncertainty surrounding the SO2 markets and the greater value 2009 allowances have for compliance purposes, Pace Global recommends retaining 2009 vintage allowances over 2010 vintage allowances when possible. 21

NOx NOX annual allowances have gained some value in the first have half of December (See Figure 2 – NOX annual prices since last monthly report.) While prices remain well below where they were to close the record hot summer months, recently prices have remained fairly steady hovering around $300/ton. Pace Global is currently working with Dover and NAES in evaluating the potential need to purchase additional NOX annual allowances to cover Dover’s 2010 emissions. The deadline for purchase and retirement of allowances, should such a transaction be necessary, is March 1, 2011. NOX seasonal prices have fluctuated between $25/ton and $30/ton for most of November and December (See Figure 3 – NOX seasonal prices since last monthly report.) Dover purchased a very small strip of NOX seasonal allowances at the end of November paying a bit of premium given the small amount of allowances purchased and the very limited time frame from which they needed to turn around the transaction. The true-up deadline for the ozone season NOX program was November 30. Under the proposed Transport Rule, it is unclear how existing NOX allowances will be treated for compliance purposes. The rule contemplates a number of methods for dealing with the existing NOX banks, including permitting use for compliance at a discounted rate. Current expectation is that the existing bank will not be permitted to carry over into the new program. Figure 2 – NOX annual prices since last monthly report NOX Annual Allowance Prices (Nov / Dec) $320.00 $300.00 $280.00 $260.00 $240.00 $220.00 $200.00 22

The final version of the Transport Rule is not expected to be released until June 2011 with implementation likely taking place in January 2012. The proposed rule provides some guidance, however with changes likely being made for the final rule and Congress still capable of acting, market participants are largely forced to sit on the sidelines until some certainty is restored. The proposed Transport Rule would create a substantially more complicated trading system than that of the existing system under CAIR. Required to remain within the confines of the DC Circuit decision striking down CAIR, the Transport Rule would severely limit interstate trading. Under the Transport Rule, the SO2 market would be divided into two groups: 15 states in Group 1 would have caps set at 2012 and then further lowered in 2014. The 13 states in group 2 would have their caps set in 2012 and remain at those levels for the balance of the program. Delaware resides in what would be Group 2. For the NOX markets there would only be one class of allowances for seasonal and annual respectively. There is less clarity regarding how existing NOX allowances would be treated under the Transport Rule. Under the Transport Rule, allowances would be issued to individual units based on either their 2009 emission levels or EPA’s projected 2012 emissions for that unit – whichever is less. Thus, 23

Page 92

units that have control technologies installed or planned could potentially receive fewer allowances through allocations. The same could be said for units that ran infrequently in 2009. Of course, all of the focus on the proposed Transport Rule could all be for naught if Congress chooses to step in. At this point it appears that congressional action on these markets could come in two forms. The less likely form would be a restriction of EPA’s budget to implement and enforce new rules. There have been rumblings amongst the new members of Congress that they will push to siphon EPA’s regulatory budget, however those efforts are more likely to be directed at CO2 regulation than SO2 and NOX. The more likely congressional action will come in the form of legislation, specifically designed to establish SO2 and NOX trading programs. The major challenge EPA currently has establishing rules for these programs, is they are crafting rules based on legislation that was originally intended for different environmental programs and pollutants. New legislation would grant EPA direct authority to regulate these markets. Senator Carper remains a champion for a 3 pollutant bill that would provide a smoother transition from the current rules under CAIR, allowing current allowances to retain some value for future compliance. Earlier in 2010, Carper was joined by Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) in introducing the Clean Air Act Amendments. While the bill was tabled due to an already full legislative docket, past bipartisan support on this bill, and bills like it, leaves the potential of movement in 2011 a real possibility. 24

Page 93

RGGI and Federal Carbon Outlook RGGI allowance prices continue to flounder around the statutory floor price of $1.86/ton. RGGI is substantially over supplied and as a result allowances prices have remained extremely low (see Figure 4 – RGGI Allowance Prices). Figure 4 – RGGI Allowance Prices RGGI Prices (Nov / Dec) $1.91 $1.90 $1.89 $1.88 $1.87 The conversion potential of RGGI allowances into federal allowance volume in a national carbon market remains the main support for RGGI pricing. However, with major uncertainty surrounding the ultimate ability to pass legislation in the near-term, RGGI allowance prices continue to remain very low. Based on projected generation and emissions, Dover is projected to have an excess of 150,000 allowances through 2013 with a market value at current prices of $283,500. Despite the high level of uncertainty surrounding carbon legislation, Pace Global continues to anticipate an eventual price on carbon at a national level, although the timing, method, and scope of coverage are all substantially unknown at this time. Pace Global expects carbon regulation to evolve through three main drivers: 1. Legislation; 2. EPA regulation under their existing authority; and 3. Linkage of regional and state initiatives. The third peg of these drivers, regional and state initiatives, got a major boost on December 16, 2010, as the California Air Resource Board approved rules for a cap-and-trade program that will begin in 2012. The carbon pricing three drivers will likely develop in parallel and, at times, in concert with one another. Through the three drivers, Pace Global anticipates a national price on carbon emissions via a market based system, or combination of systems, beginning sometime between 2014 and 2017. 25

The facility has now gone 47 days without an OSHA recordable accident and 47 consecutive days without a lost time reportable accident. One Near Miss occurred when filling Unit 1 Hot Well to check the condenser tubes and expansion joint for leaks. It was determined that the written procedure did not identify the need to isolate the air ejector during the leak check process. The procedure has been modified to incorporate the isolation of the air ejector valves. The plant received no Notice of Violations (NOVs). There were no environmental deviations or other permit deviations during the month.

The actual expenses for November were $447,254 for an unfavorable variance of $62,952 or approximately 16.38%. The variance was due to the following: PERSONNEL EXPENSES – Lower labor, overtime, and burdens due primarily to an open position accounted for a total favorable variance of $6,800. The extension of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement by the company and by the union provided for a wage increase retroactive to July 1, 2010. This increase will be expensed in December 2010. MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES EXPENSES – A favorable variance of $5,724 was realized due to not spending the funds allocated for the Man-Down System. The Man-Down System is currently being investigated and is expected to be expensed in the April 2011 time frame. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Higher than budgeted expenses in Electric, Environmental Expenses, Boiler Systems, Turbine Generator, Auxiliary Systems and Continuous Emission Monitors, Heating Oil/Gas contributed to an unfavorable variance of $75,476. The variance in the Electricity account is due to the increased run time in July, which due to plant equipment configuration change (running auxiliaries off the Unit 3 Start-up Transformer) caused a significant increase in the monthly ratcheting demand charge. Boiler Systems incurred an unfavorable variance due to unexpected costs associated with Unit 3 Boiler tube leak repairs. The budget is currently forecast to finish this fiscal year at $6,121,491 expensed versus $5,689,315 budgeted thereby realizing a 107.6% expenditure rate. The high expenditure rate is due primarily to increased unit operation time which to a large scale directly led to an increase in electric and water costs over the original budget. In addition, operational limits created a need for 32

alternate auxiliary power sources that resulted in a higher demand charge for electricity which will continue throughout the rest of the fiscal year and into the next fiscal year. 3.0 Operations Unit Operations / Outages / Trips No units were dispatched by PJM for the month of November.

The PJM Generation Systems Operator exam study groups continue to meet during the month with different study topics. The study group focuses on subjects that are covered on the exam. This month’s topics were Reserves, Capacity Shortage, Supplementary Status Report, Transmission and Voltage Emergencies. Operations put the Hot Water System back in service for winter space heating by starting up one of the package boilers. Operations has also prepared the Units #1 & #2 boilers for the winter by checking for leaks on the valves and boiler so a nitrogen blanket can be put on the boilers for lay-up until the units are called upon to operate. All three steam boilers are drained for the winter although they remain available to operate if dispatched. 35

This was a recommendation from the Nalco Inspection Report. The Nalco Service representative inspected the condenser boxes and recommended installing the zinc blocks to aid in fighting metal corrosion. Nalco is the plant’s water treatment vendor. 2) IC&E staff installed forty-five new arc flash breakers. This started the final phase of the Arc Flash project. Breaker upgrades were needed to comply with the NFPA 70 Regulation for Arc Flash Protection. 3) Mechanical staff removed and replaced forty linear feet of steam piping on the Unit 3 air heater soot blower line. New condensate traps, valves and piping were installed and each line will receive new MI heat tracing, insulation and lagging to complete this project. 36

4) Maintenance staff investigated a caustic leak at the VanSant station. A leak was found on the caustic storage tank within the tank containment. The tank was isolated; fittings were repaired and the tank was returned to service. 5) Maintenance staff supported the City of Dover utility crew by cutting out the metal grating on the small pit just north of Units 1 and 2 boilers. The City of Dover utility crew assisted on this project by installing crusher run material in the vacated area. This work had been necessitated by the pit no longer being used and the metal grating had deteriorated and become a tripping hazard. 6) IC&E staff installed new wiring for the Unit 3 Generator Bearing Protection Alarm System. New wires were landed in the control room annunciation panel and connected to an alarm. Generator fire protection will monitor and alarm if excess heat or fire is detected. Once the alarm has been acknowledged, operations staff can investigate the nature of the cause and take appropriate action. 7) Plant staff installed Christmas lights on the Unit 3 Stack for City of Dover residents viewing pleasure. Season’s Greetings to All. 37

6.0 General Plant Information Training: During the month of November, the entire plant staff had training on the SPCC, NPDES Permit, ARPP and the Storm Water Plan. 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. Plant employees continue with their 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 also reviews the Safety Manual and Procedures (SMP) for the same topic, when applicable. Topics discussed during the monthly safety committee meeting were reviewed by the entire staff. This month’s safety topic was “Back Injury Prevention Tips”. Other Events: The Fall Outage was cleared for all three units at McKee Run on November 21, 2010. The units were made available for dispatch after all final testing was completed on the work completed during the outage. Work is being finalized on the FY2011-2012 Budget. The final budget will be supplied to Pace Global for review in early December. The final FY11-12 budget must be entered into HTE no later than 1/3/10. Due to the amount of information needed to be inputted into the COD financial software, a time schedule has been developed to ensure enough time is allocated for the data entry process. 40

III. GLOSSARY Energy Only Unit Cost ("EOU") 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 capacity 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. 44
