Item 1.    BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

     Pepco Holdings, Inc. (PHI or Pepco Holdings) is a diversified energy company that, through its operating subsidiaries, is engaged primarily in two principal business operations:

·

electricity and natural gas delivery (Power Delivery), and

·

competitive energy generation, marketing and supply (Competitive Energy).

     PHI was incorporated in Delaware in 2001, for the purpose of effecting the acquisition of Conectiv by Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco). The acquisition was completed on August 1, 2002, at which time Pepco and Conectiv became wholly owned subsidiaries of PHI. Conectiv was formed in 1998 to be the holding company for Delmarva Power & Light Company (DPL) and Atlantic City Electric Company (ACE) in connection with the combination of DPL and ACE. The following chart shows, in simplified form, the corporate structure of PHI and its principal subsidiaries.

     In 2006, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA 1935) was repealed and was replaced by the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 (PUHCA 2005). As a result, PHI has ceased to be regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a public utility holding company and is now subject to the regulatory oversight of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). PHI has notified FERC that it will continue, until further notice, to operate pursuant to the financing order issued by the SEC under PUHCA 1935, which has an authorization period ending June 30, 2008 (the Financing Order), relating to the issuance of securities and guarantees, other financing transactions and the operation of the money pool by PHI and its subsidiaries that participate in the money pool. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- PUHCA 2005 Restrictions" for additional information.

____________________________________________________________________________________

     PHI Service Company, a subsidiary service company of PHI, provides a variety of support services, including legal, accounting, treasury, tax, purchasing and information technology services to PHI and its operating subsidiaries. These services are provided pursuant to a service agreement among PHI, PHI Service Company, and the participating operating subsidiaries. The expenses of the service company are charged to PHI and the participating operating subsidiaries in accordance with costing methodologies set forth in the service agreement

     For financial information relating to PHI's segments, see Note (3) Segment Information to the consolidated financial statements of PHI set forth in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Each of Pepco, DPL and ACE has one operating segment.

Investor Information

     Each of PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE files reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports, of each of the companies are made available free of charge on PHI's internet Web site as soon as reasonably practicable after such documents are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. These reports may be found at http://www.pepcoholdings.com/investors.

     The following is a description of each of PHI's two principal business operations.

Power Delivery

     The largest component of PHI's business is Power Delivery, which consists of the transmission and distribution of electricity and the distribution of natural gas. In 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, PHI's Power Delivery operations produced 61%, 58% and 61% of PHI's consolidated operating revenues (including revenue from intercompany transactions) and 67%, 74% and 70% of PHI's consolidated operating income (including income from intercompany transactions).

     PHI's Power Delivery business is conducted by its three regulated utility subsidiaries: Pepco, DPL and ACE. Each subsidiary is a regulated public utility in the jurisdictions that comprise its service territory. Pepco, DPL and ACE each owns and operates a network of wires, substations and other equipment that are classified either as transmission or distribution facilities. Transmission facilities are high-voltage systems that carry wholesale electricity into, or across, the utility's service territory. Distribution facilities are low-voltage systems that carry electricity to end-use customers in the utility's service territory.

Delivery of Electricity and Natural Gas and Default Electricity Supply

     Each company is responsible for the delivery of electricity and, in the case of DPL, natural gas in its service territory, for which it is paid tariff rates established by the local public service commission. Each company also supplies electricity at regulated rates to retail customers in its service territory who do not elect to purchase electricity from a competitive energy supplier. The regulatory term for this supply service varies by jurisdiction as follows:

Delaware

Provider of Last Resort service -- before May 1, 2006
Standard Offer Service (SOS) -- on and after May 1, 2006

District of Columbia

SOS

____________________________________________________________________________________

Maryland

SOS

New Jersey

Basic Generation Service (BGS)

Virginia

Default Service

     In this Form 10-K, these supply service obligations are referred to generally as Default Electricity Supply.

     In the aggregate, the Power Delivery business delivers electricity to more than 1.8 million customers in the mid-Atlantic region and distributes natural gas to approximately 121,000 customers in Delaware.

     Transmission of Electricity and Relationship with PJM

     The transmission facilities owned by Pepco, DPL and ACE are interconnected with the transmission facilities of contiguous utilities and as such are part of an interstate power transmission grid over which electricity is transmitted throughout the eastern United States. FERC has designated a number of regional transmission organizations to coordinate the operation and planning of portions of the interstate transmission grid. Pepco, DPL and ACE are members of the PJM Regional Transmission Organization. PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) provides transmission planning functions and acts as the independent system operator for the PJM Regional Transmission Organization. In this capacity, PJM coordinates the movement of electricity in all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. FERC has designated PJM as the sole provider of transmission service in the PJM region. Any entity that wishes to have electricity delivered at any point in the PJM region must obtain transmission services from PJM at rates approved by FERC. In accordance with FERC rules, Pepco, DPL, ACE and the other transmission-owning utilities in the region make their transmission facilities available to PJM and PJM directs and controls the operation of these transmission facilities. In return for the use of their transmission facilities, PJM pays the transmission owners fees approved by FERC.

     Distribution of Electricity and Deregulation

     Historically, electric utilities, including Pepco, DPL and ACE, were vertically integrated businesses that generated all or a substantial portion of the electric power supply that they delivered to customers in their service territories over their own distribution facilities. Customers were charged a bundled rate approved by the applicable regulatory authority that covered both the supply and delivery components of the retail electric service. However, legislative and regulatory actions in each of the service territories in which Pepco, DPL and ACE operate have resulted in the "unbundling" of the supply and delivery components of retail electric service and in the opening of the supply component to competition from non-regulated providers. Accordingly, while Pepco, DPL and ACE continue to be responsible for the distribution of electricity in their respective service territories, as the result of deregulation, customers in those service territories now are permitted to choose their electricity supplier from among a number of non-regulated, competitive suppliers. Customers who do not choose a competitive supplier receive Default Electricity Supply on terms that vary depending on the service territory, as described more fully below.

     In connection with the deregulation of electric power supply, Pepco, DPL and ACE have divested substantially all of their generation assets, either by selling them to third parties or

transferring them to the non-regulated affiliates of PHI that comprise PHI's Competitive Energy businesses. Accordingly, Pepco, DPL and ACE are no longer engaged in generation operations, except for the limited generation activities of ACE described below.

     Seasonality

     The Power Delivery business is seasonal and weather patterns can have a material impact on operating performance. In the region served by PHI, demand for electricity is generally higher in the summer months associated with cooling and demand for electricity and natural gas is generally higher in the winter months associated with heating, as compared to other times of the year. Historically, the Power Delivery operations of each of PHI's utility subsidiaries have generated less revenues and income when weather conditions are milder in the winter and cooler in the summer.

     Regulation

     The retail operations of PHI's utility subsidiaries, including the rates they are permitted to charge customers for the delivery of electricity and natural gas, are subject to regulation by governmental agencies in the jurisdictions in which they provide utility service. Pepco's electricity delivery operations are regulated in Maryland by the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) and in Washington, D.C. by the District of Columbia Public Service Commission (DCPSC). DPL's electricity delivery operations are regulated in Maryland by the MPSC, in Virginia by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (VSCC) and in Delaware by the Delaware Public Service Commission (DPSC). DPL's natural gas distribution operations in Delaware are regulated by the DPSC. ACE's electric delivery operations are regulated by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU). The wholesale and transmission operations for both electricity and natural gas of each of PHI's utility subsidiaries are regulated by FERC.

     Pepco

     Pepco is engaged in the transmission and distribution of electricity in Washington, D.C. and major portions of Prince George's and Montgomery Counties in suburban Maryland. Pepco was incorporated in Washington, D.C. in 1896 and became a domestic Virginia corporation in 1949. Pepco's service territory covers 640 square miles and has a population of 2.1 million. As of December 31, 2006, Pepco delivered electricity to 753,000 customers (of which 240,960 were located in the District of Columbia and 512,040 were located in Maryland), as compared to 747,000 customers as of December 31, 2005 (of which 239,040 were located in the District of Columbia and 507,960 were located in Maryland).

     In 2006, Pepco delivered a total of 26,488,000 megawatt hours of electricity, of which 29% was delivered to residential customers, 51% to commercial customers, and 20% to United States and District of Columbia government customers. In 2005, Pepco delivered 27,594,000 megawatt hours of electricity, of which 30% was delivered to residential customers, 51% to commercial customers, and 19% to United States and District of Columbia government customers.

     Pepco has been providing SOS in Maryland since July 2004. Pursuant to an order issued by the MPSC in November 2006, Pepco will continue to be obligated to provide SOS to residential and small commercial customers indefinitely, until further action of the Maryland General Assembly, and to medium-sized commercial customers through May 2009. Pepco also has an ongoing obligation to provide SOS service at hourly priced rates to the largest customers. Pepco

purchases the power supply required to satisfy its SOS obligation from wholesale suppliers under contracts entered into pursuant to competitive bid procedures approved and supervised by the MPSC. Pepco is entitled to recover from its SOS customers the cost of the SOS supply plus an average margin of $.002 per kilowatt hour (calculated at the time of the announcement of the contracts, based on total sales to residential and small and large commercial Maryland SOS customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003). Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period depends on the number of Maryland SOS customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over the time period. Pepco is paid tariff delivery rates for the delivery of electricity over its transmission and distribution facilities to both SOS customers and customers in Maryland who have selected another energy supplier. These delivery rates are capped through December 31, 2006 pursuant to the MPSC order issued in connection with the Pepco acquisition of Conectiv, but are subject to adjustment if FERC transmission rates increase by more than 10%.

     Pepco has been providing SOS in the District of Columbia since February 2005. Pursuant to orders issued by the DCPSC, Pepco will continue to be obligated to provide SOS for small commercial and residential customers through May 2011 and for large commercial customers through May 2009. Pepco purchases the power supply required to satisfy its SOS obligation from wholesale suppliers under contracts entered into pursuant to a competitive bid procedure approved by the DCPSC. Pepco is entitled to recover from its SOS customers the costs associated with the acquisition of the SOS supply plus administrative charges that are intended to allow Pepco to recover the administrative costs incurred to provide the SOS. These administrative charges include an average margin for Pepco of $.00248 per kilowatt hour (calculated at the time of the announcement of the contracts, based on total sales to residential and small and large commercial District of Columbia SOS customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003). Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period depends on the number of District of Columbia SOS customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over the time period. Pepco is paid tariff delivery rates for the delivery of electricity over its transmission and distribution facilities to both SOS customers and customers in the District of Columbia who have selected another energy supplier. Delivery rates in the District of Columbia generally are capped through July 2007, but are subject to adjustment if FERC transmission rates increase by more than 10%, except that for residential low-income customers, rates generally are capped through July 2009.

     For the year ended December 31, 2006, 60% of Pepco's Maryland sales (measured by megawatt hours) were to SOS customers, as compared to 62% in 2005 and in 2006 57% of its District of Columbia sales were to SOS customers, as compared to 41% in 2005.

     DPL

     DPL is engaged in the transmission and distribution of electricity in Delaware and portions of Maryland and Virginia and provides natural gas distribution service in northern Delaware. In Delaware, service is provided in three counties, Kent, New Castle, and Sussex; in Maryland, service is provided in ten counties, Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Harford, Kent, Queen Anne's, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worchester; and in Virginia, service is provided to two counties, Accomack and Northampton. DPL was incorporated in Delaware in 1909 and became a domestic Virginia corporation in 1979. DPL's electricity distribution service territory covers 6,000 square miles and has a population of 1.3 million. DPL's natural gas distribution service territory covers 275 square miles and has a population of 523,000. As of December 31, 2006, DPL delivered electricity to 513,000 customers (of which 295,000 were located in Delaware, 196,000 were located in Maryland, and 22,000 were located in Virginia) and delivered natural

gas to 121,000 customers (all of which were located in Delaware), as compared to 510,000 electricity customers as of December 31, 2005 (of which 292,000 were located in Delaware, 196,000 were located in Maryland, and 22,000 were located in Virginia) and 120,000 natural gas customers.

     In 2006, DPL delivered a total of 13,477,000 megawatt hours of electricity to its customers, of which 38% was delivered to residential customers, 40% to commercial customers and 22% to industrial customers. In 2005, DPL delivered a total of 14,101,000 megawatt hours of electricity, of which 40% was delivered to residential customers, 38% to commercial customers and 22% to industrial customers.

     In 2006, DPL delivered 18,300,000 Mcf (one thousand cubic feet) of natural gas to retail customers in its Delaware service territory, of which 36% of DPL's retail gas deliveries were sales to residential customers, 25% to commercial customers, 4% to industrial customers, and 35% to customers receiving a transportation-only service. In 2005, DPL delivered 20,700,000 Mcf of natural gas, of which 41% of DPL's retail gas deliveries were sales to residential customers, 27% were sales to commercial customers, 5% were to industrial customers, and 27% were sales to customers receiving a transportation-only service.

     DPL has been providing Default Electricity Supply in Delaware since May 2006. Pursuant to orders issued by the DPSC, DPL will continue to be obligated to provide fixed-price SOS to residential, small commercial and industrial customers through May 2009 and to medium, large and general service customers through May 2008. DPL purchases the power supply required to satisfy its fixed-price SOS obligation from wholesale suppliers under contracts entered into pursuant to competitive bid procedures approved by the DPSC. DPL also has an obligation to provide Hourly Priced Service (HPS) for the largest customers. Power to supply the HPS customers is acquired on next-day and other short-term PJM markets. DPL's rates for supplying fixed-price SOS and HPS reflect the associated capacity, energy, transmission, and ancillary services costs and a Reasonable Allowance for Retail Margin (RARM). Components of the RARM include a fixed annual margin of $2.75 million, plus estimated incremental expenses, a cash working capital allowance, and recovery with a return over five years of the capitalized costs of the billing system used for billing HPS customers. DPL is paid tariff delivery rates for the delivery of electricity over its transmission and distribution facilities to both SOS customers and customers in Delaware who have selected another energy supplier.

     In Delaware, DPL sales to Default Electricity Supply customers represented 69% of total sales (measured by megawatt hours) for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 90% in 2005.

      DPL has been providing SOS in Maryland since June 2004. Pursuant to an order issued by the MPSC in November 2006, DPL will continue to be obligated to provide SOS to residential and small commercial customers indefinitely, until further action of the Maryland General Assembly, and to medium-sized commercial customers through May 2009. DPL  purchases  the power supply required to satisfy its market rate  SOS obligation from  wholesale suppliers under contracts entered into pursuant to competitive bid procedures approved and supervised by the MPSC.   DPL  is entitled  to recover from its  SOS customers the costs  of the  SOS  supply  plus  an average margin of $.002 per kilowatt hour (calculated at the time of the announcement of the contracts, based on total sales to residential and small and large commercial Maryland SOS customers over the twelve months ended December 31, 2003).  Because margins vary by customer class, the actual average margin over any given time period depends on the number of Maryland SOS customers from each customer class and the load taken by such customers over

the time period. DPL is paid tariff delivery rates for the delivery of electricity over its transmission and distribution facilities to both SOS customers and customers in Maryland who have selected another energy supplier.

     In Maryland, DPL sales to SOS customers represented 75% of total sales (measured by megawatt hours) for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 78% in 2005.

     DPL has been providing Default Service in Virginia since March 2004, and under the terms of the Virginia Electric Utility Restructuring Act (the Virginia Restructuring Act), DPL is obligated to continue to offer Default Service to customers in Virginia until relieved of that obligation by the VSCC; however, amendments to the Virginia Restructuring Act that alter this obligation have been passed, as described below. DPL currently obtains all of the energy and capacity needed to fulfill its Default Service obligations in Virginia under a supply agreement with Conectiv Energy covering the period June 1, 2006, though May 31, 2007 (the 2006 Supply Agreement). The 2006 Supply Agreement was awarded to Conectiv Energy through a competitive bid procedure supervised by the VSCC in which Conectiv Energy was the low bidder. DPL's approved rates for Default Service allow it to recover costs related to the purchase of power in accordance with a proxy rate calculation, which is an approximation of what the cost of power would have been if DPL had not divested its generating units. The proxy rate calculation, which has the effect of operating as a cap on recoverable purchased power costs, is a component of a memorandum of agreement entered into by DPL, the staff of the VSCC and the Virginia Attorney General's office in the docket approving DPL's generating asset divestiture in 2000 (the MOA), and was a condition of that divestiture.

     On March 10, 2006, DPL filed for a rate increase with the VSCC for its Virginia Default Service customers to take effect on June 1, 2006, which was intended to allow DPL to recover its higher cost for energy established by the competitive bid procedure. On June 19, 2006, the VSCC issued an order that granted a rate increase for DPL of $11.5 million ($8.5 million less than requested by DPL in its March 2006 filing), to go into effect July 1, 2006. In determining the amount of the approved increase, the VSCC applied the proxy rate calculation to DPL's fuel factor, rather than allowing full recovery of the costs DPL incurred in procuring the supply necessary for its Default Service obligation. The estimated after-tax earnings and cash flow impacts of the decision are reductions of approximately $3.6 million in 2006 (including the loss of revenue in June 2006 associated with the Default Service rate increase being deferred from June 1 until July 1) and $2.0 million in 2007. The order also mandated that DPL file an application by March 1, 2007 (which has been delayed until April 2, 2007 by subsequent VSCC order) for Default Service rates to become effective June 1, 2007, which should include a calculation of the fuel factor that is consistent with the procedures set forth in the order.

     In February 2007, the Virginia General Assembly passed amendments to the Virginia Restructuring Act that modified the method by which investor-owned electric utilities in Virginia will be regulated by the VSCC. These amendments to the Virginia Restructuring Act, subject to further amendment or veto by the Virginia governor and subsequent action by the General Assembly, will be effective on July 1, 2007. The amendments provide that, as of December 31, 2008, the following will come to an end: (i) capped rates (the previous expiration date was December 31, 2010); (ii) DPL's Default Service obligation; and (iii) customer choice, except that customers with loads of 5 megawatts or greater will continue to be able to buy from competitive suppliers, as will smaller non-residential customers that aggregate their loads to reach the 5 megawatt threshold and obtain VSCC approval. Additionally, if an ex-customer of Default Service wants to return to DPL as its energy supplier, it must give 5 years notice or obtain approval of the VSCC that the return is in the public interest. In this event, the ex-

customer must take DPL's service at market based rates. DPL also believes that the amendments to the Virginia Restructuring Act will terminate, as of December 31, 2008, the ratemaking provisions within the MOA, including the application of the proxy rate calculation to DPL's fuel factor as discussed above; however, the VSCC's interpretation of these provisions is not known. It should be noted that in DPL's view, in the absence these amendments, the MOA and all of its provisions (including the proxy rate calculation) expire on July 1, 2007; the VSCC staff and the Virginia Attorney General disagree with DPL's position. Assuming the ratemaking provisions of the MOA end on December 31, 2008 pursuant to the amended Virginia Restructuring Act, the amendments provide that DPL shall file a rate case in 2009 and every 2 years thereafter. The ROE to be allowed by the VSCC will be set within a range, the lower of which is essentially the average of vertically integrated investor-owned electric utilities in the southeast with an upper point that is 300 basis points above that average. The VSCC has authority to set rates higher or lower to allow DPL to maintain the opportunity to earn the determined ROE and to credit back to customers, in whole or in part, earnings that were 50 basis points or more in excess of the determined ROE. The amended Virginia Restructuring Act includes various incentive ROEs for the construction of new generation and would allow the VSCC to penalize or reward DPL for efficient operations or, if DPL were to add new generation, for generating unit performance. There are also enhanced ratemaking features if DPL pursues conservation, demand management and energy efficiency programs or pursues renewable energy portfolios.

     DPL is paid tariff delivery rates for the delivery of electricity over its transmission and distribution facilities to both Default Service customers and customers in Virginia who have selected another energy supplier. These delivery rates generally are frozen until December 31, 2010, except that DPL can apply for two changes in delivery rates (one prior to July 1, 2007 and another between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2010).

     In Virginia, DPL sales to Default Service customers represented 94% of total sales (measured by megawatt hours) in 2006 and 100% of total sales in 2005.

     DPL also provides regulated natural gas supply and distribution service to customers in its Delaware natural gas service territory. Large and medium volume commercial and industrial natural gas customers may purchase natural gas either from DPL or from other suppliers. DPL uses its natural gas distribution facilities to transport natural gas for customers that choose to purchase natural gas from other suppliers. These customers pay DPL distribution service rates approved by the DPSC. DPL purchases natural gas supplies for resale to its sales service customers from marketers and producers through a combination of long-term agreements and next-day delivery arrangements. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, DPL supplied 66% of the natural gas that it delivered, compared to 73% in 2005.

     ACE

     ACE is primarily engaged in the transmission and distribution of electricity in a service territory consisting of Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Salem counties in southern New Jersey. ACE was incorporated in New Jersey in 1924. ACE's service territory covers 2,700 square miles and has a population of 1 million. As of December 31, 2006, ACE delivered electricity to 539,000 customers in its service territory, as compared to 532,000 customers as of December 31, 2005. In 2006, ACE delivered a total of  9,931,000 megawatt hours of electricity to its customers, of which 43% was delivered to residential customers, 44% to commercial customers and 13% to industrial customers. In 2005, ACE delivered  10,080,000 megawatt hours of electricity to its customers, of which  44 % was

delivered to residential customers,  43 % to commercial customers, and  13 % to industrial customers.

     Electric customers in New Jersey who do not choose another supplier receive BGS from their electric distribution company. New Jersey's electric distribution companies, including ACE, jointly procure the supply to meet their BGS obligations from competitive suppliers selected through auctions authorized by the NJBPU for New Jersey's total BGS requirements. The winning bidders in the auction are required to supply a specified portion of the BGS customer load with full requirements service, consisting of power supply and transmission service.

     ACE provides two types of BGS:

·

BGS-Fixed Price (BGS-FP), which is supplied to smaller commercial and residential customers at seasonally-adjusted fixed prices. BGS-FP rates change annually on June 1 and are based on the average BGS price obtained at auction in the current year and the two prior years. ACE's BGS-FP load is approximately 2,100 megawatts, which represents approximately 87% of ACE's total BGS load. Approximately one-third of this total load is auctioned off each year for a three-year term.

·

BGS-Commercial and Industrial Energy Price (BGS-CIEP), which is supplied to larger customers at hourly PJM real-time market prices for a term of 12 months. ACE's BGS-CIEP load is approximately 315 megawatts, which represents approximately 13% of ACE's BGS load. This total load is auctioned off each year for a one-year term.

     As of December 31, 2006, Conectiv Energy supplied one 100 megawatt block of ACE's BGS-FP load.

     ACE is paid tariff rates established by the NJBPU that compensate it for the cost of obtaining the BGS from competitive suppliers. ACE does not make any profit or incur any loss on the supply component of the BGS it provides to customers.

     ACE is paid tariff delivery rates for the delivery of electricity over its transmission and distribution facilities to both BGS customers and customers in its service territory who have selected another energy supplier.

     ACE sales to New Jersey BGS customers represented 78% of total sales (measured by megawatt hours) for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

     In addition to its electricity transmission and distribution operations, as of December 31, 2005, ACE owned a 2.47% undivided interest in the Keystone electric generating facility and a 3.83% undivided interest in the Conemaugh electric generating facility (with a combined generating capacity of 108 megawatts) and the B.L. England electric generating facility (with a generating capacity of 447 megawatts).

     On September 1, 2006, ACE sold its 2.4% undivided interest in the Keystone generating facility and its 3.83% undivided interest in the Conemaugh generating facility to Duquesne Light Holdings Inc. for approximately $177.0 million, which was subsequently decreased by $1.6 million based on a post-closing 60-day true-up for applicable items not known at the time of the closing. Approximately $81.3 million of the net gain from the sale has been used to offset the remaining regulatory asset balance, which ACE has been recovering in rates, and approximately $49.8 million of the net gain is being returned to ratepayers over a 33-month period as a credit

on their bills, which began during the October 2006 billing period. The balance to be repaid to customers is $48.4 million as of December 31, 2006.

     On February 8, 2007, ACE sold the B.L. England generating facility (with a generating capacity of 447 megawatts) to RC Cape May Holdings, LLC (RC Cape May), an affiliate of Rockland Capital Energy Investments, LLC, for a price of $9.0 million, after adjustment for, among other things, variances in the value of fuel and material inventories at the time of closing, certain capital expenditures, plant operating capacity, the value of certain benefits for transferred employees and the actual closing date. The purchase price will be further adjusted based on a post-closing 60-day true-up for applicable items not known at the time of the closing. In addition, RC Cape May and ACE have agreed to arbitration concerning whether RC Cape May must pay to ACE, as part of the purchase price, an additional $3.1 million remaining in dispute. The sale of B.L. England will not affect the stranded costs associated with the plant that already have been securitized. ACE anticipates that approximately $9 million to $10 million of additional assets related to B.L. England may, subject to NJBPU approval, be eligible for recovery as stranded costs. For the year ended December 31, 2006, B.L. England's operating revenue was $86.9 million.

     ACE also has several contracts with non-utility generators (NUGs) under which ACE purchased 3.8 million megawatt hours of power in 2006. ACE sells the electricity purchased under the contracts with NUGs into the wholesale market administered by PJM.

     During 2006, ACE's generation and wholesale electricity sales operations produced approximately 26% of ACE's operating revenue, of which approximately 32% was produced by the B.L. England, Keystone and Conemaugh facilities.

     In 2001, ACE established Atlantic City Electric Transition Funding LLC (ACE Funding) solely for the purpose of securitizing authorized portions of ACE's recoverable stranded costs through the issuance and sale of bonds (Transition Bonds). The proceeds of the sale of each series of Transition Bonds have been transferred to ACE in exchange for the transfer by ACE to ACE Funding of the right to collect a non-bypassable transition bond charge from ACE customers pursuant to bondable stranded costs rate orders issued by the NJBPU in an amount sufficient to fund the principal and interest payments on the Transition Bonds and related taxes, expenses and fees (Bondable Transition Property). The assets of ACE Funding, including the Bondable Transition Property, and the Transition Bond charges collected from ACE's customers, are not available to creditors of ACE. The holders of Transition Bonds have recourse only to the assets of ACE Funding.

Competitive Energy

     PHI's Competitive Energy business is engaged in the generation of electricity and the non-regulated marketing and supply of electricity and  natural  gas, and related energy management services, primarily in the mid-Atlantic region. In  2006, 2005 and 2004  PHI's Competitive Energy operations produced  46%,  51%  and 50 %, respectively, of PHI's consolidated operating revenues . In 2006, 2005 and 2004 PHI's Competitive Energy operations produced 20%, 16% and 19%, respectively, of PHI's consolidated operating income. PHI's Competitive Energy operations are conducted by Conectiv Energy and Pepco Energy Services. For financial reporting purposes Conectiv Energy and Pepco Energy Services each is treated as a separate segment.

     Conectiv Energy

     Conectiv Energy provides wholesale electric power, capacity, and ancillary services in the wholesale markets administered by PJM and also supplies electricity to other wholesale market participants under long and short-term bilateral contracts. Conectiv Energy also supplies electric power to satisfy a portion of ACE's New Jersey, DPL's Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia and Pepco's Maryland Default Electricity Supply load, as well as default electricity supply load shares of other utilities. PHI refers to these activities as Merchant Generation & Load Service. Other than its  default electricity supply  sales, Conectiv Energy does not  participate in the retail competitive power supply market. Conectiv Energy obtains the electricity required to meet its power supply obligations from its own  generating  plants, under  bilateral  contracts entered into with  other wholesale market participants  and from purchases in the wholesale market administered by PJM.

     Conectiv Energy's generation capacity is concentrated in mid-merit plants, which due to their operating flexibility and multi-fuel capability can quickly change their output level on an economic basis. Like "peak-load" plants, mid-merit plants generally operate during times when demand for electricity rises and prices are higher. However, mid-merit plants usually operate more frequently and for longer periods of time than peak-load plants because of better heat rates. As of December 31, 2006, Conectiv Energy owned and operated mid-merit plants with a combined 2,713 megawatts of capacity, peak-load plants with a combined 639 megawatts of capacity and base-load generating plants with a combined 340 megawatts of capacity. See Item 2 "Properties." Conectiv Energy also owns three uninstalled combustion turbines with a book value of $57.0 million. Conectiv Energy will determine whether to install these turbines as part of an existing or new generating facility or sell the turbines to a third party based upon market demand.

     Conectiv Energy also sells natural gas and fuel oil to very large end-users and to wholesale market participants under bilateral agreements and operates a real-time power desk, which generates margin by identifying and capturing price differences between power pools and locational and timing differences within a power pool. Conectiv Energy obtains the natural gas and fuel oil required to meet its supply obligations through market purchases for next day delivery and under long- and short-term bilateral contracts with other market participants.

     Conectiv Energy actively engages in commodity risk management activities to reduce its financial exposure to changes in the value of its assets and obligations due to commodity price fluctuations. A portion of these risk management activities is conducted using instruments classified as derivatives, such as forward contracts, futures, swaps, and exchange-traded and over-the-counter options. Conectiv Energy also manages commodity risk with contracts that are not classified as derivatives. Conectiv Energy has two primary risk management objectives: (1) to manage the spread between the cost of fuel used to operate its electric generation plants and the revenue received from the sale of the power produced by those plants; and (2) to manage the cost of fulfilling its contracts to supply load in order to ensure stable and known minimum cash flows and lock-in favorable prices and margins when they become available. To a lesser extent, Conectiv Energy also operates a real-time power desk, which generates margin by capturing price differences between power pools, and locational and timing differences within a power pool.

     Conectiv Energy's goal is to manage the risk associated with the expected power output of its generation facilities and their fuel requirements. The risk management goals are approved by PHI's Corporate Risk Management Committee and may change from time to time based on

market conditions. The actual level of coverage may vary depending on the extent to which Conectiv Energy is successful in implementing its risk management strategies. For additional discussion of Conectiv Energy's risk management activities, see Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."

     Pepco Energy Services

    Pepco Energy Services provides retail energy supply and energy services primarily to commercial, industrial, and government customers. Pepco Energy Services sells electricity, including electricity from renewable resources, to customers located in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern regions of the U.S. and the Chicago, Illinois area. As of December 31, 2006, Pepco Energy Services' estimated retail electricity backlog is 31.3 million MWH for delivery through 2011, an increase of 105% since December 31, 2005. Pepco Energy Services also sells natural gas to customers primarily located in the mid-Atlantic region.

     Pepco Energy Services owns and operates district energy systems in Atlantic City, New Jersey and Wilmington, Delaware and sells steam and chilled water to customers in those cities. Pepco Energy Services also provides energy savings performance contracting services principally to federal, state and local government customers, and designs, constructs, and operates combined heat and power plants and central energy plants.

     Pepco Energy Services provides high voltage construction and maintenance services to utilities throughout the United States and low voltage electric and telecommunication construction and maintenance services in the Washington, D.C. area.

     During 2006, Pepco Energy Services sold five businesses that served primarily commercial and industrial customers by providing heating, ventilation, air conditioning, electrical testing and maintenance, and building automation services. Net assets sold were approximately $20.7 million.

     Pepco Energy Services also owns and operates two oil-fired power plants. The power plants are located in Washington, D.C. and have a generating capacity rating of approximately 806 MW. Pepco Energy Services sells the output of these plants into the wholesale market administered by PJM. Pepco Energy Services intends to provide notice to PJM of its intention to deactivate these plants. It is expected that the plants would be deactivated no later than May 31, 2012. Deactivation is subject to approval by PJM and will not have a material impact on PHI's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Item 2 "Properties."

     Competition

     The unregulated energy generation, supply and marketing businesses primarily in the mid-Atlantic region are characterized by intense competition at both the wholesale and retail levels. At the wholesale level, Conectiv Energy and Pepco Energy Services compete with numerous non-utility generators, independent power producers, wholesale power marketers and brokers, and traditional utilities that continue to operate generation assets. In the retail energy supply market and in providing energy management services, Pepco Energy Services competes with numerous competitive energy marketers and other service providers. Competition in both the wholesale and retail markets for energy and energy management services is based primarily on price and, to a lesser extent, the range of services offered to customers and quality of service.

     Seasonality

     Like the Power Delivery business, the power generation, supply and marketing businesses are seasonal and weather patterns can have a material impact on operating performance. Demand for electricity generally is higher in the summer months associated with cooling and demand for electricity and natural gas generally is higher in the winter months associated with heating, as compared to other times of the year. Historically, the competitive energy operations of Conectiv Energy and Pepco Energy Services have produced less revenue when weather conditions are milder than normal. Milder weather can also negatively impact income from these operations. Energy management services generally are not seasonal.

Other Business Operations

     Over the last several years, PHI has discontinued its investments in non-energy related businesses, including the sale of its aircraft investments and the sale of its 50% interest in Starpower Communications LLC (Starpower). Through its subsidiary, Potomac Capital Investment Corporation (PCI), PHI continues to maintain a portfolio of cross-border energy sale-leaseback transactions, with a book value at December 31, 2006 of approximately $1.3 billion. For additional information concerning these cross-border lease transactions, see Note (12) "Commitments and Contingencies" to the consolidated financial statements of PHI included in Item 8 and Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Factors." This activity constitutes a separate operating segment for financial reporting purposes, which is designated "Other Non-Regulated."

EMPLOYEES

     At December 31, 2006, PHI had 5,156 employees, including 1,413 employed by Pepco, 907 employed by DPL, 588 employed by ACE and 1,756 employed by PHI Service Company. The balance was employed by PHI's competitive energy and other non-regulated businesses. Approximately 2,760 employees (including 1,084 employed by Pepco, 741 employed by DPL, 431 employed by ACE, 340 employed by PHI Service Company, and the balance employed by PHI's Competitive Energy businesses) are covered by collective bargaining agreements with various locals of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     PHI, through its subsidiaries, is subject to regulation by various federal, regional, state, and local authorities with respect to the environmental effects of its operations, including air and water quality control, solid and hazardous waste disposal, and limitations on land use. In addition, federal and state statutes authorize governmental agencies to compel responsible parties to clean up certain abandoned or unremediated hazardous waste sites. PHI's subsidiaries may incur costs to clean up currently or formerly owned facilities or sites found to be contaminated, as well as other facilities or sites that may have been contaminated due to past disposal practices.

     PHI's current capital expenditures plan for the replacement of existing or installation of new environmental control facilities by its subsidiaries is $16.9 million in 2007 and $21.8 million in 2008; however, this plan includes only a portion of the expenditures that may be needed to comply with air quality regulations recently adopted by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), as described below, if such regulations ultimately are upheld. The actual costs of environmental compliance may be materially different from this capital expenditures plan depending on the outcome of the matters addressed below or

as a result of the imposition of additional environmental requirements or new or different interpretations of existing environmental laws and regulations.

     Air Quality Regulation

     The generating facilities and operations of PHI's subsidiaries are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations, including the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), that limit emissions of air pollutants, require permits for operation of facilities and impose recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

     Among other things, the CAA regulates total sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions from affected generating units and allocates "allowances." The generating facilities of PHI's subsidiaries that require SO₂ allowances use allocated allowances or allowances acquired, as necessary, in the open market to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements. Also under current regulations implementing CAA standards, 22 eastern and mid-western states and the District of Columbia regulate nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from generating units and allocate NOx allowances. Most of the generating units operated by PHI subsidiaries are subject to NOx emission limits and are required to hold, either through allocations or purchases, NOx allowances as necessary to achieve compliance.

     The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) administers CAA programs in New Jersey as well as air quality requirements imposed by New Jersey laws and regulations. In February 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NJDEP requested information regarding ACE's B.L. England facility and Conectiv Energy's (formerly ACE's) Deepwater facility to determine whether they were in compliance with the New Source Review (NSR), Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and non-attainment NSR requirements of the CAA. Generally, these regulations require that operators of major sources of certain air pollutants obtain permits, install pollution control technology and obtain offsets in some circumstances when those sources undergo a "major modification," as defined in the regulations.

     On January 24, 2006, PHI, Conectiv and ACE entered into an administrative consent order (ACO) with NJDEP and the Attorney General of New Jersey resolving New Jersey's claim for alleged violations of the CAA and the NJDEP's concerns regarding ACE's compliance with NSR requirements and the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act (APCA) with respect to the B.L. England generating facility and various other environmental issues relating to ACE and Conectiv Energy facilities in New Jersey. Among other things, the ACO provides that:

·

Contingent upon the receipt of necessary approvals for the construction of substation and transmission facilities to compensate for the shut down of B.L. England, ACE would permanently cease operation of the B.L. England generating facility by December 15, 2007 if ACE did not sell the facility.

·

If B.L. England were shut down by December 15, 2007, ACE would surrender to NJDEP certain SO₂ and NOx allowances allocated to B.L. England Units 1 and 2, contingent upon approval by the NJBPU recognizing cost impacts of the surrender.

·

In the event that ACE were unable to shut down B.L. England Units 1 and 2 by December 15, 2007 through no fault of its own, ACE would surrender NOx and SO₂ allowances not needed to satisfy the operational needs of B.L. England Units 1 and 2, contingent upon approval by the NJBPU recognizing cost impacts of the surrender.

·

To resolve any possible civil liability (and without admitting liability) for violations of APCA and the PSD provisions of the CAA, ACE paid a $750,000 civil penalty to NJDEP in June 2004 and will undertake environmental projects that are beneficial to the state of New Jersey and approved by the NJDEP or donate property valued at $2 million.

·

To resolve any possible civil liability (and without admitting liability) for natural resource damages resulting from groundwater contamination at ACE's B.L. England facility and Conectiv Energy's Deepwater facility and ACE's operations center near Pleasantville, New Jersey, ACE and Conectiv Energy paid NJDEP $674,162 and agreed to remediate the groundwater contamination at all three sites

     As more fully described under "ACE Sale of Generating Assets," on February 8, 2007, ACE completed the sale of the B.L. England generating facility to RC Cape May. In anticipation of the sale, on October 31, 2006, ACE and NJDEP, along with RC Cape May, entered into an amendment to the ACO, pursuant to which RC Cape May, upon closing of the sale, assumed responsibility under the ACO for (i) compliance with the emission limits for B.L. England Units 1 and 2 that take effect December 15, 2012 and May 1, 2010, respectively, and for the payment of any civil penalties for the failure to do so and (ii) the remediation of the groundwater contamination and other resources at the B.L. England facility. In addition, in accordance with the purchase agreement, ACE transferred to RC Cape May NOx and SO₂ allowances sufficient to cover the pre-closing date operational needs of B.L. England to enable RC Cape May to satisfy compliance obligations applicable to pre-closing NOx and SO₂ emissions. On December 6, 2006, the NJBPU approved the sale of the B.L. England generating facility to RC Cape May, along with a stipulation as filed by NJBPU staff, the Ratepayer Advocate, ACE and RC Cape May that the balance of the NOx and SO₂ allowances allocated to B.L. England Units 1 and 2 need not be surrendered to NJDEP and EPA, respectively, but instead should be monetized for the benefit of ACE's ratepayers. The appropriate mechanism for monetizing the value of the NOx and SO₂ allowances for the benefit of ratepayers has been deferred to a Phase II proceeding. Refer to PHI Note (2) "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for a discussion of PHI's accounting treatment for emission allowances.

     The ACO does not resolve any federal claims for alleged environmental law violations at the B.L. England generating facility or any federal or state claims regarding alleged environmental law violations at Conectiv Energy's Deepwater generating facility or any other facilities. In accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement with RC Cape May, RC Cape May is responsible for the costs of correcting any alleged environmental law violations at B.L. England and ACE is responsible for any penalties arising out of any alleged environmental law violations. PHI does not believe that any of its subsidiaries has any liability with respect thereto, but cannot predict the consequences of the federal inquiry regarding B.L. England and federal and state inquiries regarding Deepwater.

     EPA finalized its Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) on May 18, 2005. CAMR establishes mercury emissions standards for new or modified sources and caps state-wide emissions of mercury beginning in 2010. States may implement CAMR by adopting EPA's trading program for coal-fired utility boilers or through regulations that at a minimum achieve the reductions that will be achieved through EPA's program. These regulations may require installation of pollution control devices and/or fuel modifications for generating units owned by Conectiv Energy.

     Closely related to CAMR is EPA's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), released on March 10, 2005, which imposes additional reductions of SO₂ and NOx emissions from electric generating units in 28 Eastern states and the District of Columbia with implementation commencing in

2009. CAIR caps state-wide emissions of SO₂ and NOx in two stages beginning in 2009 for NOx and 2010 for SO₂. As with CAMR, states may implement CAIR by adopting EPA's trading program or through regulations that at a minimum achieve the reductions through implementation of EPA's program. These regulations may require installation of pollution control devices and/or fuel modifications for generating units owned by Conectiv Energy and Pepco Energy Services.

     In a March 14, 2005 rulemaking, EPA removed coal- and oil-fired units from the list of source categories requiring Maximum Achievable Control Technology for hazardous air pollutants under CAA Section 112, thus, for the time being, eliminating the possibility that control devices would be required under this section of the CAA to reduce nickel emissions from one of the units at Conectiv Energy's Edge Moor generating facility.

     In December 2004, NJDEP published final rules regulating mercury emissions from power plants and industrial facilities in New Jersey that impose standards that are significantly stricter than EPA's federal CAMR for coal-fired plants. In lieu of meeting these standards for all New Jersey coal-fired units by December 15, 2007, NJDEP's final mercury rules allow an owner or operator of an affected unit to comply with the mercury limits by December 2012 if the owner or operator complies with the mercury limits for 50% of the company's total coal-fired capacity by the December 15, 2007 deadline and enters into an enforceable agreement to comply with the mercury standards, as well as with stringent standards regulating emissions of NOx, SO₂ and particulate matter by December 2012. Alternatively, if an owner or operator enters into an enforceable agreement with NJDEP by December 15, 2007 to shut down coal unit(s) by December 15, 2012, then the mercury limitations would not be applicable to that particular unit. Conectiv Energy is investigating what, if any, capital or operational improvements are needed at the Deepwater generating facility in order to comply with NJDEP's final mercury regulations and CAMR and at the Edge Moor generating facility to comply with the mercury provisions of Delaware's final multipollutant regulations, discussed below.

     In November 2005, NJDEP finalized regulations that classify carbon dioxide (CO₂) as an air contaminant and enable NJDEP potentially to regulate CO₂ emissions from power plants and other sources. Through its rulemaking and other public announcements, NJDEP has indicated that it will take action to limit or reduce emissions of CO₂ from electric utilities in New Jersey in the near future. New Jersey is one of seven states, including Delaware, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York, that has agreed to participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which is expected to cap and eventually reduce emissions of CO₂ from power plants within the participating states. In accordance with the terms of the April 2006 Maryland Healthy Air Act, Maryland is required to join RGGI and become a full participant no later than June 30, 2007.

     As RGGI signatories, it is anticipated that both New Jersey and Delaware (and eventually Maryland) will adopt implementing CO₂ regulations in 2007. These regulations are expected to require New Jersey and Delaware fossil fuel-fired electric generating units to hold CO₂ allowances equivalent to its historic baseline CO₂ emissions commencing in 2009 and to incrementally reduce CO₂ emissions beginning in 2015 to achieve an overall 10% reduction from baseline by 2019. Because each state has freedom to adopt its own regulations and can develop its own allowance allocation mechanisms, PHI cannot predict, at this time, if any allowance allocations by these states will fall below the level of CO₂ emissions predicted for the generating facilities operated by PHI's subsidiaries in the affected jurisdictions, or what the potential financial impact of the regulations may be on PHI and its subsidiaries.

     In addition, on February 13, 2007, the New Jersey Governor signed Executive Order 54, which requires New Jersey to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to 80 percent below 2006 levels by 2050. The Executive Order requires NJDEP to coordinate with NJBPU, New Jersey's Department of Transportation and Department of Community Affairs and stakeholders to evaluate policies and measures that will enable New Jersey to achieve the greenhouse gas emissions reduction levels set forth in the Executive Order. PHI cannot predict, at this time, the impact of the Executive Order on PHI and its subsidiaries.

     On November 15, 2006, DNREC adopted regulations to require control strategies to assure attainment of ambient air quality standards for ozone and fine particulate matter, address local scale fine particulate emission problems attributable to coal and residual oil fired electric generating facilities, address mercury emissions from coal fired electric generating facilities, satisfy the federal CAMR rule, improve visibility and help satisfy Delaware's regional haze obligations. For Conectiv Energy's Edge Moor coal fired units, these multipollutant regulations establish stringent short-term emission limits for emissions of NOx, SO₂ and mercury, and for Edge Moor's residual oil fired generating unit, impose more stringent sulfur in fuel limits and establish stringent short-term emission limits for NOx emissions. The regulations also cap annual emissions of NOx and SO₂ from Edge Moor's coal fired and residual oil fired units, and mercury from Edge Moor's coal fired units. Compliance with the regulations will require the installation of new pollution control equipment and/or the enhancement of existing equipment, and may require the imposition of restrictions on the operation of those units. Conectiv Energy is required to submit a compliance plan for its facilities to DNREC on or before July 1, 2007. If the regulations are ultimately upheld, Conectiv Energy estimates that it may cost up to $250 million (of which a total of $50 million is contemplated in PHI's 5-year capital expenditures plan, $31 million of which is included in the capital expenditures plan for 2007 and 2008) to install the control equipment necessary to comply with the regulations. These estimated costs do not include increased costs associated with operating control equipment. The costs associated with installing and operating the equipment necessary to comply with these regulations may impair the economic viability of the Edge Moor units. On December 5, 2006, Conectiv Energy filed an appeal of the final regulation with the Delaware Environmental Appeals Board and on December 8, 2006, filed a complaint seeking review of DNREC's adoption of the regulations in Delaware Superior Court.

     Water Quality Regulation

     Section 402(a) of the federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), establishes the basic legal structure for regulating the discharge of pollutants from point sources to surface waters of the United States. Among other things, CWA Section 402(a) requires that any person wishing to discharge pollutants from a point source (generally a confined, discrete conveyance such as a pipe) obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the EPA or by a state agency under a federally authorized state program. All of the steam generating facilities operated by PHI's subsidiaries have NPDES permits authorizing their pollutant discharges, which are subject to periodic renewal.

     In July 2004, the EPA issued final regulations under Section 316(b) of the CWA that are intended to minimize potential adverse environmental impacts from power plant cooling water intake structures on aquatic resources by establishing performance-based standards for the operation of these structures at large existing electric generating plants. These regulations may require changes to cooling water intake structures as part of the NPDES permit renewal process. However, on January 25, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the Second Circuit) issued a decision in Riverkeeper, Inc. v. United States Environmental

Protection Agency and other consolidated dockets (commonly known as the Riverkeeper II decision), that remanded substantial portions of EPA's Section 316(b) regulations. EPA has not yet responded to the Second Circuit's remand of the agency's Section 316(b) regulations or indicated whether it will seek to appeal the Riverkeeper II decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. The capital expenditures required at each facility, if any, likely will not be known until the requirements of the regulations are clarified by EPA on remand, or by the Supreme Court on further appeal of Riverkeeper II and until each facility completes the studies required by the regulations and related permit requirements.

     The EPA has delegated authority to administer the NPDES program to a number of state agencies including DNREC. The NPDES permit for Conectiv Energy's Edge Moor generating facility expired on October 30, 2003, but has been administratively extended until DNREC issues a renewal permit. Conectiv Energy submitted a renewal application to the DNREC in April 2003. Studies required under the existing permit to determine the impact on aquatic organisms of the plant's cooling water intake structures were completed in 2002. Site-specific alternative technologies and operational measures have been evaluated and discussed with DNREC. DNREC, however, has not announced how it intends to address Section 316(b) requirements in NPDES permits in light of Riverkeeper II and the remand of substantial portions of the Federal regulations. Expenditures to comply with EPA's CWA Section 316(b) performance-based standards are dependent upon DNREC's approval. PHI cannot predict the extent of these expenditures until DNREC and Conectiv Energy agree on a proposed strategy.

     Under the New Jersey Water Pollution Control Act, NJDEP implements regulations, administers the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) program with EPA oversight, and issues and enforces NJPDES permits. The current NJPDES permit for Conectiv Energy's Deepwater generating facility is effective through September 30, 2007, and Conectiv Energy will file an application to renew the permit on or before June 30, 2007. The current NJPDES permit for Deepwater required several studies to determine whether or not Deepwater's cooling water intake structures satisfy applicable requirements for protection of the environment. While those study requirements were consistent with requirements under EPA's regulations implementing CWA Section 316(b), the result of the Riverkeeper II decision and remand may involve reevaluation of the design and operational measures that Conectiv Energy anticipated using for future compliance with Section 316(b) at Deepwater. Although EPA (like NJDEP) is expected to announce plans for responding to Riverkeeper II, the timing of revised regulations and the level of expenditures required to meet future requirements for Section 316(b) compliance are unknown at this point. In addition, in view of the uncertainty associated with Riverkeeper II, Conectiv Energy expects to ask NJDEP to modify a cooling water intake structure design upgrade requirement in Deepwater's current NJPDES permit.

     Pepco and a subsidiary of Pepco Energy Services discharge water from a steam generating plant and service center located in the District of Columbia under a NPDES permit issued by EPA in November 2000. Pepco filed a petition with the EPA Environmental Appeals Board seeking review and reconsideration of certain provisions of EPA's permit determination. In May 2001, Pepco and EPA reached a settlement on Pepco's petition, under which EPA withdrew certain contested provisions and agreed to issue a revised draft permit for public comment. The EPA has not yet issued the revised draft permit. A timely renewal application was filed in May 2005 and the companies are operating under the November 2000 permit, excluding the withdrawn conditions, in accordance with the settlement agreement.

     In late October 2006, NJDEP proposed amendments to its regulations under the Flood Hazard Area Control Act that would impose a new and highly complex regulatory program on

electric utility functions that otherwise are comprehensively regulated under a number of other state and federal programs. ACE filed comments on the proposed amendments, urging NJDEP to continue to exempt utility lines, poles, and other utility property from the flood hazard regulations. ACE cannot predict the costs of complying with NJDEP's flood hazard regulations if the amendments are promulgated as proposed.

     Hazardous Substance Regulation

     The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), authorizes the EPA, and comparable state laws authorize state environmental authorities, to issue orders and bring enforcement actions to compel responsible parties to investigate and take remedial actions at any site that is determined to present an actual or potential threat to human health or the environment because of an actual or threatened release of one or more hazardous substances. Parties that generated or transported hazardous substances to such sites, as well as the owners and operators of such sites, may be deemed liable under CERCLA or comparable state laws. Pepco, DPL and ACE each has been named by the EPA or a state environmental agency as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at certain contaminated sites. See Item 3 "Legal Proceedings -- Environmental Litigation." In addition, DPL and ACE have undertaken efforts to remediate currently or formerly owned facilities found to be contaminated, including two former manufactured gas plant sites and other owned property. See Item 3 "Legal Proceedings -- Environmental Litigation" and Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Capital Resources and Liquidity -- Capital Requirements -- Environmental Remediation Obligations."

Item 1A.   RISK FACTORS

     The businesses of PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including the events or conditions identified below. The occurrence of one or more of these events or conditions could have an adverse effect on the business of any one or more of the companies, including, depending on the circumstances, its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Unless otherwise noted, each risk factor set forth below applies to each of PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE.

PHI and its subsidiaries are subject to substantial governmental regulation, and unfavorable regulatory treatment, could have a negative effect.

     PHI's Power Delivery businesses are subject to regulation by various federal, state and local regulatory agencies that significantly affects their operations. Each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is regulated by state public service commissions in its service territories, with respect to, among other things, the rates it can charge retail customers for the supply and distribution of electricity (and additionally for DPL the supply and distribution of natural gas). In addition, the rates that the companies can charge for electricity transmission are regulated by FERC, and DPL's natural gas transmission is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The companies cannot change supply, distribution, or transmission rates without approval by the applicable regulatory authority. While the approved distribution and transmission rates are intended to permit the companies to recover their costs of service and earn a reasonable rate of return, the profitability of the companies is affected by the rates they are able to charge. In addition, if the costs incurred by any of the companies in operating its transmission and distribution facilities exceed the allowed amounts for costs included in the approved rates, the financial results of that company, and correspondingly, PHI, will be adversely affected.

     PHI's subsidiaries also are required to have numerous permits, approvals and certificates from governmental agencies that regulate their businesses. PHI believes that each of its subsidiaries has, and each of Pepco, DPL and ACE believes it has, obtained or sought renewal of the material permits, approvals and certificates necessary for its existing operations and that its business is conducted in accordance with applicable laws; however, none of the companies is able to predict the impact of future regulatory activities of any of these agencies on its business. Changes in or reinterpretations of existing laws or regulations, or the imposition of new laws or regulations, may require any one or more of PHI's subsidiaries to incur additional expenses or to change the way it conducts its operations.

PHI and Pepco could be adversely affected by the Mirant bankruptcy. (PHI and Pepco only)

     In 2000, Pepco sold substantially all of its electricity generation assets to Mirant Corporation and its subsidiaries (together with its predecessors, Mirant). As part of the sale, Pepco entered into several ongoing contractual arrangements with Mirant. On July 14, 2003, Mirant filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the Bankruptcy Court). On May 30, 2006, Pepco, PHI and certain affiliated companies entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Mirant (the Settlement Agreement), which, subject to court approval, settles all outstanding issues among the parties arising from or related to the Mirant bankruptcy. On August 9, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Settlement Agreement, and on August 18, 2006, certain holders of Mirant bankruptcy claims, who had objected to approval of the Settlement Agreement before the Bankruptcy Court appealed the approval order to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the District Court). On December 26, 2006, the District Court issued an order affirming the Bankruptcy Court's order approving the Settlement Agreement. On January 25, 2007, the parties that had appealed the Bankruptcy Court's order filed a notice of appeal of the District Court's order with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (the Fifth Circuit). On February 12, 2007, the Fifth Circuit issued a briefing schedule. The brief of the appealing creditors is due on March 26, 2007, while Mirant's and Pepco's briefs are due on April 30, 2007. Depending on the outcome of these proceedings, the Mirant bankruptcy could have an adverse effect on PHI and Pepco. See Item 7 " PHI -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Relationship with Mirant Corporation" for additional information.

Pepco may be required to make additional divestiture proceeds gain-sharing payments to customers in the District of Columbia and Maryland. (PHI and Pepco only)

     Pepco currently is involved in regulatory proceedings in Maryland and the District of Columbia related to the sharing of the net proceeds from the sale of its generation-related assets. The principal issue in the proceedings is whether Pepco should be required to share with customers the excess deferred income taxes and accumulated deferred investment tax credits associated with the sold assets and, if so, whether such sharing would violate the normalization provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and its implementing regulations. Depending on the outcome of the proceedings, Pepco could be required to make additional gain-sharing payments to customers and payments to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the amount of the associated accumulated deferred investment tax credits, and Pepco might be unable to use accelerated depreciation on District of Columbia and Maryland allocated or assigned property.

See Item 7 "PHI -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Divestiture Cases" for additional information.

The operating results of the Power Delivery business and the Competitive Energy businesses fluctuate on a seasonal basis and can be adversely affected by changes in weather.

     The Power Delivery business is seasonal and weather patterns can have a material impact on their operating performance. Demand for electricity is generally higher in the summer months associated with cooling and demand for electricity and natural gas is generally higher in the winter months associated with heating as compared to other times of the year. Accordingly, each of PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE has generated less revenue and income when weather conditions are milder in the winter and cooler in the summer. Historically, the competitive energy operations of Conectiv Energy and Pepco Energy Services also have produced less revenue when weather conditions are milder than normal, which can negatively impact PHI's income from these operations. The Competitive Energy businesses' energy management services generally are not seasonal.

Facilities may not operate as planned or may require significant maintenance expenditures, which could decrease revenues or increase expenses.

     Operation of the Pepco, DPL and ACE transmission and distribution facilities and the Competitive Energy businesses' generation facilities involves many risks, including the breakdown or failure of equipment, accidents, labor disputes and performance below expected levels. Older facilities and equipment, even if maintained in accordance with sound engineering practices, may require significant capital expenditures for additions or upgrades to keep them operating at peak efficiency, to comply with changing environmental requirements, or to provide reliable operations. Natural disasters and weather-related incidents, including tornadoes, hurricanes and snow and ice storms, also can disrupt generation, transmission and distribution delivery systems. Operation of generation, transmission and distribution facilities below expected capacity levels can reduce revenues and result in the incurrence of additional expenses that may not be recoverable from customers or through insurance. Furthermore, if the company owning the facilities is unable to perform its contractual obligations for any of these reasons, that company, and correspondingly PHI, may incur penalties or damages.

The transmission facilities of the Power Delivery business are interconnected with the facilities of other transmission facility owners whose actions could have a negative impact on operations.

     The electricity transmission facilities of Pepco, DPL and ACE are directly interconnected with the transmission facilities of contiguous utilities and, as such, are part of an interstate power transmission grid. FERC has designated a number of regional transmission operators to coordinate the operation of portions of the interstate transmission grid. Each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is a member of PJM, which is the regional transmission operator that coordinates the movement of electricity in all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. Pepco, DPL and ACE operate their transmission facilities under the direction and control of PJM. PJM and the other regional transmission operators have established sophisticated systems that are designed to ensure the reliability of the operation of transmission facilities and prevent the operations of one utility from having an adverse impact on the operations of the other utilities. However, the systems put in place by PJM and the other

regional transmission operators may not always be adequate to prevent problems at other utilities from causing service interruptions in the transmission facilities of Pepco, DPL or ACE. If any of Pepco, DPL or ACE were to suffer such a service interruption, it could have a negative impact on it and on PHI.

The cost of compliance with environmental laws is significant and new environmental laws may increase expenses.

     The operations of PHI's subsidiaries, including Pepco, DPL and ACE, are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental statutes, rules and regulations relating to air quality, water quality, spill prevention, waste management, natural resources, site remediation, and health and safety. These laws and regulations can require significant capital and other expenditures to, among other things, meet emissions standards, conduct site remediation and perform environmental monitoring. If a company fails to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, even if caused by factors beyond its control, such failure could result in the assessment of civil or criminal penalties and liabilities and the need to expend significant sums to come into compliance.

     In addition, PHI's subsidiaries are required to obtain and comply with a variety of environmental permits, licenses, inspections and other approvals. If there is a delay in obtaining any required environmental regulatory approval, or if there is a failure to obtain, maintain or comply with any such approval, operations at affected facilities could be halted or subjected to additional costs.

     There is growing concern at the federal and state levels about CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, it is possible that state and federal regulations will be developed that will impose more stringent limitations on emissions than are currently in effect. Any of these factors could result in increased capital expenditures and/or operating costs for one or more generating plants operated by PHI's Conectiv Energy and Pepco Energy Services businesses. Until specific regulations are promulgated, PHI is unable to predict the ultimate effect of any new environmental regulations, voluntary compliance guidelines, enforcement initiatives, or legislation on PHI's results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

     PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE each continues to monitor federal and state activity related to environmental matters in order to analyze their potential operational and cost implications.

     New environmental laws and regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, could impose more stringent limitations on the operations of PHI's subsidiaries or require them to incur significant additional costs. Current compliance strategies may not successfully address the relevant standards and interpretations of the future.

Failure to retain and attract key skilled professional and technical employees could have an adverse effect on the operations.

     The ability of each of PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE to implement its business strategy is dependent on its ability to recruit, retain and motivate employees.  Competition for skilled employees in some areas is high and the inability to retain and attract these employees could adversely affect the company's business, operations, and financial condition.

PHI's Competitive Energy businesses are highly competitive. (PHI only)

     The unregulated energy generation, supply and marketing businesses primarily in the mid-Atlantic region are characterized by intense competition at both the wholesale and retail levels. PHI's Competitive Energy businesses compete with numerous non-utility generators, independent power producers, wholesale and retail energy marketers, and traditional utilities. This competition generally has the effect of reducing margins and requires a continual focus on controlling costs.

PHI's Competitive Energy businesses rely on some transmission, storage, and distribution assets that they do not own or control to deliver wholesale and retail electricity and natural gas and to obtain fuel for their generation facilities. (PHI only)

     PHI's Competitive Energy businesses depend upon electric transmission facilities, natural gas pipelines, and natural gas storage facilities owned and operated by others. The operation of their generation facilities also depends upon coal, natural gas or diesel fuel supplied by others. If electric transmission, natural gas pipelines, or natural gas storage are disrupted or capacity is inadequate or unavailable, the Competitive Energy businesses' ability to buy and receive and/or sell and deliver wholesale and retail power and natural gas, and therefore to fulfill their contractual obligations, could be adversely affected. Similarly, if the fuel supply to one or more of their generation plants is disrupted and storage or other alternative sources of supply are not available, the Competitive Energy businesses' ability to operate their generating facilities could be adversely affected.

Changes in technology may adversely affect the Power Delivery business and PHI's Competitive Energy businesses.

     Research and development activities are ongoing to improve alternative technologies to produce electricity, including fuel cells, micro turbines and photovoltaic (solar) cells. It is possible that advances in these or other alternative technologies will reduce the costs of electricity production from these technologies, thereby making the generating facilities of PHI's Competitive Energy businesses less competitive. In addition, increased conservation efforts and advances in technology could reduce demand for electricity supply and distribution, which could adversely affect the Power Delivery businesses of Pepco, DPL and ACE and PHI's Competitive Energy businesses. Changes in technology also could alter the channels through which retail electric customers buy electricity, which could adversely affect the Power Delivery businesses of Pepco, DPL and ACE.

PHI's risk management procedures may not prevent losses in the operation of its Competitive Energy businesses. (PHI only)

     The operations of PHI's Competitive Energy businesses are conducted in accordance with sophisticated risk management systems that are designed to quantify risk. However, actual results sometimes deviate from modeled expectations. In particular, risks in PHI's energy activities are measured and monitored utilizing value-at-risk models to determine the effects of potential one-day favorable or unfavorable price movements. These estimates are based on historical price volatility and assume a normal distribution of price changes and a 95% probability of occurrence. Consequently, if prices significantly deviate from historical prices, PHI's risk management systems, including assumptions supporting risk limits, may not protect PHI from significant losses. In addition, adverse changes in energy prices may result in

economic losses in PHI's earnings and cash flows and reductions in the value of assets on its balance sheet under applicable accounting rules.

The commodity hedging procedures used by PHI's Competitive Energy businesses may not protect them from significant losses caused by volatile commodity prices. (PHI only)

     To lower the financial exposure related to commodity price fluctuations, PHI's Competitive Energy businesses routinely enter into contracts to hedge the value of their assets and operations. As part of this strategy, PHI's Competitive Energy businesses utilize fixed-price, forward, physical purchase and sales contracts, tolling agreements, futures, financial swaps and option contracts traded in the over-the-counter markets or on exchanges. Each of these various hedge instruments can carry a unique set of risks in their application to PHI's energy assets. PHI must apply judgment in determining the application and effectiveness of each hedge instrument. Changes in accounting rules, or revised interpretations to existing rules, may cause hedges to be deemed ineffective as an accounting matter. This could have material earnings implications for the period or periods in question. Conectiv Energy's objective is to hedge a portion of the expected power output of its generation facilities and the costs of fuel used to operate those facilities so it is not completely exposed to spot energy price movements. Hedge targets are approved by PHI's Corporate Risk Management Committee and may change from time to time based on market conditions. Conectiv Energy generally establishes hedge targets annually for the next three succeeding 12-month periods. Within a given 12 month horizon, the actual hedged positioning in any month may be outside of the targeted range, even if the average for a 12 month period falls within the stated range. Management exercises judgment in determining which months present the most significant risk, or opportunity, and hedge levels are adjusted accordingly. Since energy markets can move significantly in a short period of time, hedge levels may also be adjusted to reflect revised assumptions. Such factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in projected plant output, revisions to fuel requirements, transmission constraints, prices of alternate fuels, and improving or deteriorating supply and demand conditions. In addition, short-term occurrences, such as abnormal weather, operational events, or intra-month commodity price volatility may also cause the actual level of hedging coverage to vary from the established hedge targets. These events can cause fluctuations in PHI's earnings from period to period. Due to the high heat rate of the Pepco Energy Services generating facilities, Pepco Energy Services generally does not enter into wholesale contracts to lock in the forward value of its plants. To the extent that PHI's Competitive Energy businesses have unhedged positions or their hedging procedures do not work as planned, fluctuating commodity prices could result in significant losses. Conversely, by engaging in hedging activities, PHI may not realize gains that otherwise could result from fluctuating commodity prices.

Business operations could be adversely affected by terrorism.

     The threat of, or actual acts of, terrorism may affect the operations of PHI or any of its subsidiaries in unpredictable ways and may cause changes in the insurance markets, force an increase in security measures and cause disruptions of fuel supplies and markets. If any of its infrastructure facilities, such as its electric generation, fuel storage, transmission or distribution facilities, were to be a direct target, or an indirect casualty, of an act of terrorism, the operations of PHI, Pepco, DPL or ACE could be adversely affected. Corresponding instability in the financial markets as a result of terrorism also could adversely affect the ability to raise needed capital.

Insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all casualty losses that the companies might incur.

     PHI. Pepco, DPL and ACE currently have insurance coverage for their facilities and operations in amounts and with deductibles that they consider appropriate. However, there is no assurance that such insurance coverage will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, some risks, such as weather related casualties, may not be insurable. In the case of loss or damage to property, plant or equipment, there is no assurance that the insurance proceeds, if any, received will be sufficient to cover the entire cost of replacement or repair.

Revenues, profits and cash flows may be adversely affected by economic conditions.

     Periods of slowed economic activity generally result in decreased demand for power, particularly by industrial and large commercial customers. As a consequence, recessions or other downturns in the economy may result in decreased revenues and cash flows for the Power Delivery businesses of Pepco, DPL and ACE and PHI's Competitive Energy businesses.

The IRS challenge to cross-border energy sale and lease-back transactions entered into by a PHI subsidiary could result in loss of prior and future tax benefits. (PHI only)

     PCI maintains a portfolio of cross-border energy sale-leaseback transactions, which as of December 31, 2006, had a book value of approximately $1.3 billion and from which PHI currently derives approximately $57 million per year in tax benefits in the form of interest and depreciation deductions. On February 11, 2005, the Treasury Department and IRS issued a notice informing taxpayers that the IRS intends to challenge the tax benefits claimed by taxpayers with respect to certain of these transactions.

     As part of the normal PHI tax audit for 2001 and 2002, the IRS disallowed the tax benefits claimed by PHI with respect to these leases for those years. The tax benefits claimed by PHI with respect to these leases from 2001 through December 31, 2006 were approximately $287 million. PHI has filed a protest against the IRS adjustments and the unresolved audit has been forwarded to the IRS Appeals Office. If the IRS prevails, PHI would be subject to additional taxes, along with interest and possibly penalties on the additional taxes, which could have a material adverse effect on PHI's results of operations and cash flows. See Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Federal Tax Treatment of Cross-Border Leases" for additional information.

Pending tax legislation could result in a loss of future tax benefits from cross-border energy sale and lease-back transactions entered into by a PHI subsidiary. (PHI only)

     On February 1, 2007 the U.S. Senate passed the Small Business and Work Opportunity Act of 2007. Included in this legislation is a provision which would apply passive loss limitation rules to leases with foreign tax indifferent parties effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006. On February 16, 2007 the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Small Business Relief Act of 2007. This bill does not include any provision that would modify the current treatment of leases with tax indifferent parties. Enactment into law of a bill that is similar to that passed by the U.S. Senate in its current form could result in a material delay of the income tax benefits that PCI would receive in connection with its cross-border energy leases. Furthermore, under Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position on Financial

Accounting Standards 13-2, PHI would be required to adjust the book values of its leases and record a charge to earnings equal to the repricing impact of the disallowed deductions which could result in a material adverse effect on PHI's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate are expected to hold a conference in the near future to reconcile the differences in the two bills to determine the final legislation. See Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Regulatory and Other Matters -- Federal Tax Treatment of Cross-Border Leases" for additional information.

IRS Revenue Ruling 2005-53 on Mixed Service Costs could require PHI to incur additional tax and interest payments in connection with the IRS audit of this issue for the tax years 2001 through 2004 (IRS Revenue Ruling 2005-53).

     During 2001, Pepco, DPL, and ACE changed their methods of accounting with respect to capitalizable construction costs for income tax purposes. The change allowed the companies to accelerate the deduction of certain expenses that were previously capitalized and depreciated. Through December 31, 2005, these accelerated deductions generated incremental tax cash flow benefits of approximately $205 million (consisting of $94 million for Pepco, $62 million for DPL, and $49 million for ACE) for the companies, primarily attributable to their 2001 tax returns.

     On August 2, 2005, the Treasury Department released regulations that, if adopted in their current form, would require Pepco, DPL, and ACE to change their method of accounting with respect to capitalizable construction costs for income tax purposes for future tax periods beginning in 2005. Based on those regulations, PHI in its 2005 federal tax return adopted an alternative method of accounting for capitalizable construction costs that management believes will be acceptable to the IRS.

     On the same day that the new regulations were released, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2005-53, which is intended to limit the ability of certain taxpayers to utilize the method of accounting for income tax purposes they utilized on their tax returns for 2004 and prior years with respect to capitalizable construction costs. In line with this Revenue Ruling, the IRS revenue agent's report for the 2001 and 2002 tax returns disallowed substantially all of the incremental tax benefits that Pepco, DPL and ACE had claimed on those returns by requiring the companies to capitalize and depreciate certain expenses rather than treat such expenses as current deductions. PHI has filed a protest against the IRS adjustments and the issue is among the unresolved audit matters relating to the 2001 and 2002 audits pending before the Appeals Office.

     In February 2006, PHI paid approximately $121 million of taxes to cover the amount of taxes that management estimated to be payable based on the method of tax accounting that PHI, pursuant to the proposed regulations, has adopted on its 2005 tax return. However, if the IRS is successful in requiring Pepco, DPL and ACE to capitalize and depreciate construction costs that result in a tax and interest assessment greater than management's estimate of $121 million, PHI will be required to pay additional taxes and interest only to the extent these adjustments exceed the $121 million payment made in February 2006.

PHI and its subsidiaries are dependent on their ability to successfully access capital markets. An inability to access capital may adversely affect their business.

     PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE each rely on access to both short-term money markets and longer-term capital markets as a source of liquidity and to satisfy their capital requirements not satisfied by the cash flow from their operations. Capital market disruptions, or a downgrade in credit ratings would increase the cost of borrowing or could adversely affect the ability to access one or more financial markets.  In addition, a reduction in PHI's credit ratings could require PHI or its subsidiaries to post additional collateral in connection with some of the Competitive Energy businesses' wholesale marketing and financing activities. Disruptions to the capital markets could include, but are not limited to:

·

recession or an economic slowdown;

·

the bankruptcy of one or more energy companies;

·

significant increases in the prices for oil or other fuel;

·

a terrorist attack or threatened attacks; or

·

a significant transmission failure.

     In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC rules thereunder, PHI's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting and is required to assess annually the effectiveness of these controls. The inability to certify the effectiveness of these controls due to the identification of one or more material weaknesses in these controls also could increase financing costs or could adversely affect the ability to access one or more financial markets.

Future defined benefit plan funding obligations are affected by assumptions regarding the valuation of its benefit obligations and the performance of plan assets; actual experience which varies from the assumptions could result in an obligation of PHI, Pepco, DPL or ACE to make significant unplanned cash contributions to the Retirement Plan.

     PHI follows the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" in accounting for pension benefits under the Retirement Plan, a non-contributory defined benefit plan. In accordance with these accounting standards, PHI makes assumptions regarding the valuation of benefit obligations and the performance of plan assets. Changes in assumptions, such as the use of a different discount rate or expected return on plan assets, affect the calculation of projected benefit obligations, accumulated benefit obligation (ABO), reported pension liability, regulated assets, or accumulated other comprehensive income on PHI's consolidated balance sheet and on the balance sheets of Pepco, DPL and ACE, and reported annual net periodic pension benefit cost on PHI's consolidated statement of earnings and on the statements of earnings of Pepco, DPL and ACE.

     Use of alternative assumptions could also impact the expected future cash funding requirements of PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE for the Retirement Plan if the plan did not meet the minimum funding requirements of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

PHI's cash flow, ability to pay dividends and ability to satisfy debt obligations depend on the performance of its operating subsidiaries. PHI's unsecured obligations are effectively subordinated to the liabilities and the outstanding preferred stock of its subsidiaries. (PHI only)

     PHI is a holding company that conducts its operations entirely through its subsidiaries, and all of PHI's consolidated operating assets are held by its subsidiaries. Accordingly, PHI's cash flow, its ability to satisfy its obligations to creditors and its ability to pay dividends on its common stock are dependent upon the earnings of the subsidiaries and the distribution of such earnings to PHI in the form of dividends. The subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to pay any amounts due on any debt or equity securities issued by PHI or to make any funds available for such payment. Because the claims of the creditors, PHI's subsidiaries and the preferred stockholders of ACE are superior to PHI's entitlement to dividends, the unsecured debt and obligations of PHI are effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of its subsidiaries and to the rights of the holders of ACE's preferred stock to receive dividend payments.

Energy companies are subject to adverse publicity which makes them vulnerable to negative regulatory and litigation outcomes.

     The energy sector has been among the sectors of the economy that have been the subject of highly publicized allegations of misconduct in recent years. In addition, many utility companies have been publicly criticized for their performance during natural disasters and weather related incidents. Adverse publicity of this nature may render legislatures, regulatory authorities, and other government officials less likely to view energy companies such as PHI and its subsidiaries in a favorable light, and may cause PHI and its subsidiaries to be susceptible to adverse outcomes with respect to decisions by such bodies.

Provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage an acquisition of PHI. (PHI only)

     As a Delaware corporation, PHI is subject to the business combination law set forth in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which could have the effect of delaying, discouraging or preventing an acquisition of PHI.

Because Pepco is a wholly owned subsidiary of PHI, and each of DPL and ACE are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of PHI, PHI can exercise substantial control over their dividend policies and businesses and operations. (Pepco, DPL and ACE only)

     All of the members of Pepco's board of directors are employees of an affiliate of PHI and all of the members of each of DPL's and ACE's board of directors, as well as many of Pepco's, DPL's and ACE's executive officers, are officers of PHI. Among other decisions, each of Pepco's, DPL's and ACE's board is responsible for decisions regarding payment of dividends, financing and capital raising activities, and acquisition and disposition of assets. Within the limitations of applicable law, and subject to the financial covenants under each company's respective outstanding debt instruments, each of Pepco's, DPL's and ACE's board of directors will base its decisions concerning the amount and timing of dividends, and other business decisions, on the company's respective earnings, cash flow and capital structure, but may also take into account the business plans and financial requirements of PHI and its other subsidiaries.

On February 8, 2007, ACE completed the sale of the B.L. England generating facility for a price of $9.0 million, subject to adjustment.

3

These facilities are owned by a subsidiary of Pepco Energy Services.

4

This facility is owned by Fauquier Landfill Gas, LLC, of which Pepco Energy Services holds a 75% membership interest.

5

This facility is owned by Eastern Landfill Gas, LLC, of which Pepco Energy Services holds a 75% membership interest.

     The preceding table sets forth the summer electric generating capacity of the electric generating plants owned by Pepco Holdings' subsidiaries. Although, due to thermoelectric factors, the generating capacity of these facilities may be higher during the winter months, the plants operated by PHI's subsidiaries are used to meet summer peak loads that are generally

higher than winter peak loads. Accordingly, the summer generating capacity more accurately reflects the operational capability of the plants.

     ACE's generation facilities are subject to the lien of the mortgage under which its First Mortgage Bonds are issued.

Transmission and Distribution Systems

     On a combined basis, the electric transmission and distribution systems owned by Pepco, DPL and ACE at December 31, 2006 consisted of approximately 3,600 transmission circuit miles of overhead lines, 160 transmission circuit miles of underground cables, 22,740 distribution circuit miles of overhead lines, and 19,030 distribution circuit miles of underground cables, primarily in their respective service territories. DPL and ACE own and operate distribution system control centers in New Castle, Delaware and Mays Landing, New Jersey, respectively. Pepco also operates a distribution system control center in Maryland. The computer equipment and systems contained in Pepco's control center are financed through a sale and leaseback transaction.

     DPL has a liquefied natural gas plant located in Wilmington, Delaware, with a storage capacity of 3.045 million gallons and an emergency sendout capability of 45,000 Mcf per day. DPL owns eight natural gas city gate stations at various locations in New Castle County, Delaware. These stations have a total sendout capacity of 225,000 Mcf per day. DPL also owns approximately 111 pipeline miles of natural gas transmission mains, 1,755 pipeline miles of natural gas distribution mains, and 1,281 natural gas pipeline miles of service lines. The natural gas transmission mains include 7.2 miles of pipeline of which DPL owns 10%, which is used for natural gas operations, and of which Conectiv Energy owns 90%, which is used for delivery of natural gas to electric generation facilities.

     Substantially all of the transmission and distribution property, plant and equipment owned by each of Pepco, DPL and ACE is subject to the liens of the respective mortgages under which the companies issue First Mortgage Bonds. See Note (7) "Debt" to the consolidated financial statements of PHI included in Item 8.

Item 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Pepco Holdings

     The legal proceedings for Pepco Holdings consist solely of those of its subsidiaries, as described below.

LITIGATION WITH MIRANT

     In 2000, Pepco sold substantially all of its electricity generation assets to Mirant (formerly Southern Energy, Inc.). In July 2003, Mirant filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. On December 9, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved Mirant's Plan of Reorganization, and the Mirant business emerged from bankruptcy on January 3, 2006, as a new corporation of the same name. On May 30, 2006, Pepco, PHI and certain affiliated companies entered into the Settlement Agreement, which, subject to court approval, settles all outstanding issues among the parties arising from or related to the Mirant bankruptcy. On August 9, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Settlement Agreement, and on August 18, 2006, certain holders of Mirant bankruptcy claims, who had

objected to approval of the Settlement Agreement before the Bankruptcy Court appealed the approval order to the District Court. On December 26, 2006, the District Court issued an order affirming the Bankruptcy Court's order approving the Settlement Agreement. On January 25, 2007, the parties that previously appealed the Bankruptcy Court's order filed a notice of appeal of the District Court's order with the Fifth Circuit. On February 12, 2007, the Fifth Circuit issued a briefing schedule. The brief of the appealing creditors is due on March 26, 2007, while Mirant's and Pepco's briefs are due on April 30, 2007.

     For further information concerning the litigation with Mirant and other litigation matters in addition to those described below, please refer to Note (12), "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Financial Statements of PHI included in Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" herein and to the section headed "Regulatory and Other Matters -- Relationship with Mirant Corporation" included in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" herein.

GENERAL LITIGATION

     During 1993, Pepco was served with Amended Complaints filed in the state Circuit Courts of Prince George's County, Baltimore City and Baltimore County, Maryland in separate ongoing, consolidated proceedings known as "In re: Personal Injury Asbestos Case." Pepco and other corporate entities were brought into these cases on a theory of premises liability. Under this theory, the plaintiffs argued that Pepco was negligent in not providing a safe work environment for employees or its contractors, who allegedly were exposed to asbestos while working on Pepco's property. Initially, a total of approximately 448 individual plaintiffs added Pepco to their complaints. While the pleadings are not entirely clear, it appears that each plaintiff sought $2 million in compensatory damages and $4 million in punitive damages from each defendant.

     Since the initial filings in 1993, additional individual suits have been filed against Pepco, and significant numbers of cases have been dismissed. As a result of two motions to dismiss, numerous hearings and meetings and one motion for summary judgment, Pepco has had approximately 400 of these cases successfully dismissed with prejudice, either voluntarily by the plaintiff or by the court. As of January 31, 2007, there are approximately 180 cases still pending against Pepco in the State Courts of Maryland; of which approximately 85 cases were filed after December 19, 2000, and have been tendered to Mirant for defense and indemnification pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement between Pepco and Mirant relating to the sale of Pepco's generation assets. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Mirant has agreed to assume this contractual obligation. For a description of the Settlement Agreement, see the discussion of the relationship with Mirant in Note (12), "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Financial Statements of PHI included in Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" herein and to the section headed "Regulatory and Other Matters -- Relationship with Mirant Corporation" included in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" herein.

     While the aggregate amount of monetary damages sought in the remaining suits (excluding those tendered to Mirant) exceeds $360 million, PHI and Pepco believe the amounts claimed by current plaintiffs are greatly exaggerated. The amount of total liability, if any, and any related insurance recovery cannot be determined at this time; however, based on information and relevant circumstances known at this time, neither PHI nor Pepco believes these suits will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, if an

unfavorable decision were rendered against Pepco, it could have a material adverse effect on Pepco's and PHI's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

CASH BALANCE PLAN LITIGATION

     In 1999, Conectiv established a cash balance retirement plan to replace defined benefit retirement plans then maintained by ACE and DPL. Following the acquisition by Pepco of Conectiv, this plan became the Conectiv Cash Balance Sub-Plan within the PHI Retirement Plan. On September 26, 2005, three management employees of PHI Service Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the Delaware District Court) against the PHI Retirement Plan, PHI and Conectiv (the PHI Parties), alleging violations of ERISA, on behalf of a class of management employees who did not have enough age and service when the Cash Balance Sub-Plan was implemented in 1999 to assure that their accrued benefits would be calculated pursuant to the terms of the predecessor plans sponsored by ACE and DPL. A fourth plaintiff was added to the case to represent DPL-heritage "grandfathered" employees who will not be eligible for early retirement at the end of the grandfathered period.

     The plaintiffs have challenged the design of the Cash Balance Sub-Plan and are seeking a declaratory judgment that the Cash Balance Sub-Plan is invalid and that the accrued benefits of each member of the class should be calculated pursuant to the terms of the predecessor plans. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the use of a variable rate to compute the plaintiffs' accrued benefit under the Cash Balance Sub-Plan results in reductions in the accrued benefits that violate ERISA. The complaint also alleges that the benefit accrual rates and the minimal accrual requirements of the Cash Balance Sub-Plan violate ERISA as did the notice that was given to plan participants upon implementation of the Cash Balance Sub-Plan.

     The PHI Parties filed a motion to dismiss the suit, which was denied by the court on July 11, 2006. The Delaware District Court stayed one count of the complaint regarding alleged age discrimination pending a decision in another case before the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the Third Circuit). On January 30, 2007, the Third Circuit issued a ruling in the other case that PHI's counsel believes should result in the favorable disposition of all of the claims (other than the claim of inadequate notice) against the PHI Parties in the Delaware District Court. The PHI Parties filed pleadings apprising the Delaware District Court of the Third Circuit's decision on February 16, 2007, at the same time they filed their opposition to plaintiffs' motion.

     While PHI believes it has an increasingly strong legal position in the case and that it is therefore unlikely that the plaintiffs will prevail, PHI estimates that, if the plaintiffs were to prevail, the ABO and projected benefit obligation (PBO), calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 87, each would increase by approximately $12 million, assuming no change in benefits for persons who have already retired or whose employment has been terminated and using actuarial valuation data as of the time the suit was filed. The ABO represents the present value that participants have earned as of the date of calculation. This means that only service already worked and compensation already earned and paid is considered. The PBO is similar to the ABO, except that the PBO includes recognition of the effect that estimated future pay increases would have on the pension plan obligation.

ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION

     PHI, through its subsidiaries, is subject to regulation by various federal, regional, state, and local authorities with respect to the environmental effects of its operations, including air and water quality control, solid and hazardous waste disposal, and limitations on land use. In addition, federal and state statutes authorize governmental agencies to compel responsible parties to clean up certain abandoned or unremediated hazardous waste sites. PHI's subsidiaries may incur costs to clean up currently or formerly owned facilities or sites found to be contaminated, as well as other facilities or sites that may have been contaminated due to past disposal practices. Although penalties assessed for violations of environmental laws and regulations are not recoverable from customers of the operating utilities, environmental clean-up costs incurred by Pepco, DPL and ACE would be included by each company in its respective cost of service for ratemaking purposes.

     In July 2004, DPL entered into an ACO with the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to further identify the extent of soil, sediment and ground and surface water contamination related to former manufactured gas plant (MGP) operations at a Cambridge, Maryland site on DPL-owned property and to investigate the extent of MGP contamination on adjacent property. The MDE has approved the RI and DPL submitted a final FS to MDE on February 15, 2007. The costs of cleanup (as determined by the RI/FS and subsequent negotiations with MDE) are anticipated to be approximately $2.7 million. The remedial action will include dredging activities within Cambridge Creek, which are expected to take place as early as October 2007, and soil excavation on DPL's and adjacent property as early as January 2008.

     In the early 1970s, both Pepco and DPL sold scrap transformers, some of which may have contained some level of PCBs, to a metal reclaimer operating at the Metal Bank/Cottman Avenue site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, owned by a nonaffiliated company. In December 1987, Pepco and DPL were notified by the EPA that they, along with a number of other utilities and non-utilities, were PRPs in connection with the PCB contamination at the site.

     In 1994, an RI/FS including a number of possible remedies was submitted to the EPA. In 1997, the EPA issued a Record of Decision that set forth a selected remedial action plan with estimated implementation costs of approximately $17 million. In 1998, the EPA issued a unilateral administrative order to Pepco and 12 other PRPs directing them to conduct the design and actions called for in its decision. In May 2003, two of the potentially liable owner/operator entities filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In October 2003, the bankruptcy court confirmed a reorganization plan that incorporates the terms of a settlement among the two debtor owner/operator entities, the United States and a group of utility PRPs including Pepco (the Utility PRPs). Under the bankruptcy settlement, the reorganized entity/site owner will pay a total of $13.25 million to remediate the site (the Bankruptcy Settlement).

     In March 2006, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania approved global consent decrees for the Metal Bank/Cottman Avenue site, entered into on August 23, 2005, involving the Utility PRPs, the U.S. Department of Justice, EPA, The City of Philadelphia and two owner/operators of the site. Under the terms of the settlement, the two owner/operators will make payments totaling $5.55 million to the U.S. Department of Justice and totaling $4.05 million to the Utility PRPs. The Utility PRPs will perform the remedy at the site and will be able to draw on the $13.25 million from the Bankruptcy Settlement to accomplish the remediation (the Bankruptcy Funds). The Utility PRPs will contribute funds to the extent remediation costs exceed the Bankruptcy Funds available. The Utility PRPs also will be liable

for EPA costs associated with overseeing the monitoring and operation of the site remedy after the remedy construction is certified to be complete and also the cost of performing the "5 year" review of site conditions required by CERCLA. Any Bankruptcy Funds not spent on the remedy may be used to cover the Utility PRPs' liabilities for future costs. No parties are released from potential liability for damages to natural resources.

     As of December 31, 2006, Pepco had accrued $1.7 million to meet its liability for a remedy at the Metal Bank/Cottman Avenue site. While final costs to Pepco of the settlement have not been determined, Pepco believes that its liability at this site will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In 1999, DPL entered into a de minimis settlement with EPA and paid approximately $107,000 to resolve its liability for cleanup costs at the Metal Bank/Cottman Avenue site. The de minimis settlement did not resolve DPL's responsibility for natural resource damages, if any, at the site. DPL believes that any liability for natural resource damages at this site will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In November 1991, the NJDEP identified ACE as a PRP at the Delilah Road Landfill site in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. In 1993, ACE, along with other PRPs, signed an ACO with NJDEP to remediate the site. The soil cap remedy for the site has been completed and the NJDEP conditionally approved the report submitted by the parties on the implementation of the remedy in January 2003. In March 2004, NJDEP approved a Ground Water Sampling and Analysis Plan. Positive results of groundwater monitoring events have resulted in a reduced level of groundwater monitoring. In August 2006, NJDEP issued a No Further Action Letter (NFA) and Covenant Not to Sue for the site. Among other things, the NFA requires the PRPs to monitor the effectiveness of institutional (deed restriction) and engineering (cap) controls at the site every two years and to continue groundwater monitoring. In March 2003, EPA demanded from the PRP group reimbursement for EPA's past costs at the site, totaling $168,789. The PRP group objected to the demand for certain costs, but agreed to reimburse EPA approximately $19,000. Based on information currently available, ACE anticipates that its share of additional cost associated with this site will be approximately $555,000 to $600,000. ACE believes that its liability for post-remedy operation and maintenance costs will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     On January 24, 2006, PHI, Conectiv and ACE entered into an ACO with NJDEP and the Attorney General of New Jersey resolving (i) New Jersey's claim for alleged violations of the CAA and (ii) the NJDEP's concerns regarding ACE's compliance with NSR requirements of the CAA and APCA requirements with respect to the B.L. England generating facility and various other environmental issues relating to ACE and Conectiv Energy facilities in New Jersey. See Item 1 "Business -- Environmental Matters -- Air Quality Regulation."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

PEPCO HOLDINGS, INC.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

     Pepco Holdings, Inc. (PHI or Pepco Holdings) is a diversified energy company that, through its operating subsidiaries, is engaged primarily in two principal business operations:

·

electricity and natural gas delivery (Power Delivery), and

·

competitive energy generation, marketing and supply (Competitive Energy).

     In 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively, PHI's Power Delivery operations produced 61%, 58% and 61% of PHI's consolidated operating revenues (including revenues from intercompany amounts) and 67%, 74% and 70% of PHI's consolidated operating income (including income from intercompany transactions).

     The Power Delivery business consists primarily of the transmission, distribution and default supply of electric power, which for 2006, 2005, and 2004, was responsible for 95%, 94% and 95%, respectively, of Power Delivery's operating revenues. The distribution of natural gas contributed 5%, 6% and 5% of Power Delivery's operating revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Power Delivery represents one operating segment for financial reporting purposes.

     The Power Delivery business is conducted by three utility subsidiaries: Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco), Delmarva Power & Light Company (DPL) and Atlantic City Electric Company (ACE). Each of these companies is a regulated public utility in the jurisdictions that comprise its service territory. Each company is responsible for the distribution of electricity and, in the case of DPL, natural gas in its service territory, for which it is paid tariff rates established by the applicable local public service commissions. Each company also supplies electricity at regulated rates to retail customers in its service territory who do not elect to purchase electricity from a competitive energy supplier. The regulatory term for this supply service varies by jurisdiction as follows:

Delaware

Provider of Last Resort service (POLR) -- before May 1, 2006
Standard Offer Service (SOS) -- on and after May 1, 2006

District of Columbia

SOS

Maryland

SOS

New Jersey

Basic Generation Service (BGS)

Virginia

Default Service

     In this Form 10-K, these supply service obligations are referred to generally as Default Electricity Supply.

     Pepco, DPL and ACE are also responsible for the transmission of wholesale electricity into and across their service territories. The rates each company is permitted to charge for the wholesale transmission of electricity are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC). Effective June 1, 2006, new FERC-approved transmission rates took effect for each of PHI's utility subsidiaries. These new rates incorporate true-ups for the formula rates that went into effect June 1, 2005, on a tentative basis, which reflected a requested 12.9% return on equity, as compared to the approved rates, which were based on a return on equity of 10.8% for existing facilities and 11.3% for facilities put into service on or after January 1, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2006, lower transmission revenues resulted in a $.06 decrease in PHI's earnings per share as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005, a portion of which was attributable to the lower rates combined with the operation of the true-up adjustment to compensate for the higher tentative rates. PHI expects the lower rates in effect and the true-up to have a similar proportionate impact on earnings through May 2007 as compared to 2005 earnings. However, because the magnitude of the true-up for this first twelve-month period, June 2006 through May 2007, was attributable in part to the transition to the new formula rate process, PHI expects that the impact of the annual true-up adjustment will be less significant in future years.

     The profitability of the Power Delivery business depends on its ability to recover costs and earn a reasonable return on its capital investments through the rates it is permitted to charge. Power Delivery's operating revenue and income are seasonal, and weather patterns may have a material impact on operating results. In addition, customer usage may be affected by economic conditions, energy prices, and energy efficiency measures.

     The Competitive Energy business provides competitive generation, marketing and supply of electricity and gas, and related energy management services primarily in the mid-Atlantic region. These operations are conducted through subsidiaries of Conectiv Energy Holding Company (collectively, Conectiv Energy) and Pepco Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Pepco Energy Services), each of which is treated as a separate operating segment for financial reporting purposes. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the operating revenues of the Competitive Energy business (including revenue from intercompany transactions) were equal to 46%, 51% and 50%, respectively, of PHI's consolidated operating revenues, and the operating income of the Competitive Energy business (including operating income from intercompany transactions) was 20%, 16% and 19% of PHI's consolidated operating income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, amounts equal to 12%, 14% and 16% respectively, of the operating revenues of the Competitive Energy business were attributable to electric energy and capacity, and natural gas sold to the Power Delivery segment.

·

Conectiv Energy provides wholesale electric power, capacity and ancillary services in the wholesale markets administered by PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) and also supplies electricity to other wholesale market participants under long- and short-term bilateral contracts. Conectiv Energy also supplies electric power to satisfy a portion of ACE's New Jersey, Pepco's Maryland and DPL's Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia Default Electricity Supply load, as well as default electricity supply load shares of other utilities. PHI refers to these activities as Merchant Generation & Load Service. Conectiv Energy obtains the electricity required to meet its Merchant Generation & Load Service power supply obligations from its own generation plants, bilateral contract purchases from other wholesale market participants, and purchases in the PJM wholesale market. Conectiv Energy also sells natural gas and fuel oil to very large end-users and to wholesale market participants under bilateral agreements. PHI refers to these sales operations as Energy Marketing.

·

Pepco Energy Services provides retail energy supply and energy services primarily to commercial, industrial, and government customers. Pepco Energy Services sells electricity and natural gas to customers primarily in the mid-Atlantic region. Pepco Energy Services owns and operates two district energy systems, provides energy savings performance contracting services, and designs, constructs and operates combined heat and power and central energy plants. Pepco Energy Services provides high voltage construction and maintenance services to customers throughout the U.S. and low voltage construction and maintenance services in the Washington, D.C. area and owns and operates electric generating plants in Washington, D.C.

     Conectiv Energy's primary objective is to maximize the value of its generation fleet by leveraging its operational and fuel flexibilities. Pepco Energy Services' primary objective is to capture retail energy supply and service opportunities primarily in the mid-Atlantic region. The financial results of the Competitive Energy business can be significantly affected by wholesale and retail energy prices, the cost of fuel to operate the Conectiv Energy plants, and the cost of purchased energy necessary to meet its power supply obligations.

     The Competitive Energy business, like the Power Delivery business, is seasonal, and therefore weather patterns can have a material impact on operating results.

     Over the last several years, PHI has discontinued its investments in non-energy related businesses, and has sold its aircraft investments and its 50% interest in Starpower Communications, LLC (Starpower). Through its subsidiary, Potomac Capital Investment Corporation (PCI), PHI continues to maintain a portfolio of cross-border energy sale-leaseback transactions with a book value at December 31, 2006 of approximately $1.3 billion. This activity constitutes a fourth operating segment, which is designated as "Other Non-Regulated," for financial reporting purposes. For a discussion of PHI's cross-border leasing transactions, see "Regulatory and Other Matters -- Federal Income Tax Treatment of Cross-Border Leases" below.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

     PHI's business strategy is to remain a regional diversified energy delivery utility and competitive energy services company focused on value creation and operational excellence. This strategy has three primary components:

·

Achieving earnings growth in the Power Delivery business by focusing on infrastructure investments and constructive regulatory outcomes, while maintaining a high level of operational excellence.

·

Supplementing PHI's utility earnings through competitive energy businesses that focus on serving the competitive wholesale and retail markets primarily in PJM.

·

Maintaining PHI's investment grade credit ratings.

EARNINGS OVERVIEW

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2005

     PHI's net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $248.3 million, or $1.30 per share, compared to $371.2 million, or $1.96 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Discussion of Operating Segment Net Income Variances:

     Power Delivery's earnings were $110.8 million lower in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to the following:

·

$42.2 million decrease in earnings due to the gain on settlement of Pepco TPA Claim and Pepco asbestos claim against Mirant bankruptcy estate in 2005.

·

$40.7 million decrease in earnings due to the gain on sale of assets (specifically, non-utility land) in 2005.

·

$33.9 million decrease in earnings due to lower regulated distribution sales, primarily the impact of milder weather.

·
