Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Sale of Conectiv Energy Wholesale Power Generation Business

On July 1, 2010, Pepco Holdings, Inc. (PHI) completed the sale of its Conectiv Energy wholesale power generation business to New Development Holdings, LLC (the Purchaser), a wholly owned subsidiary of Calpine Corporation (Calpine). Under the Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2010, by and among PHI, Conectiv, LLC, Conectiv Energy Holding Company, LLC (CEHC) and the Purchaser, the Purchaser purchased all of the membership interests of CEHC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PHI. The $1.65 billion sale price specified by the Purchase Agreement was subject to several adjustments, including a $49 million payment for the estimated value of the fuel inventory at the time of closing and a $60 million reduction in the closing payment attributable to lower capital expenditures incurred by PHI than was anticipated at the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement for the Delta Project (referred to below) during the period from January 1, 2010 through the date of the closing. After giving effect to these and other adjustments, PHI received proceeds at the closing in the amount of approximately $1.63 billion (subject to possible post-closing adjustments).

CEHC’s assets at the time of the sale consisted of the wholesale power generation business of the Conectiv Energy segment, including the following generation facilities, which have an aggregate generating capacity of 3,860 megawatts and are located in the eastern PJM region:

 

   

the Deepwater steam plant in New Jersey, with a generating capacity of 158 megawatts;

 

   

the Edge Moor steam plant in Delaware, with a generating capacity of 710 megawatts;

 

   

2 combined cycle plants, one in each of Pennsylvania and Delaware, which have aggregate generating capacity of 2,260 megawatts;

 

   

30 peaking units – consisting of 20 combustion turbines and 10 diesels, located in Delaware (5), New Jersey (14), Virginia (7) and Maryland (4), which have an aggregate generating capacity of 728 megawatts; and

 

   

the 4 megawatt Vineland, New Jersey solar photovoltaic facility.

The assets of CEHC also included a 565 megawatt combined cycle generating plant that is being constructed in southern Pennsylvania, which is referred to as the Delta Project, and a six-year tolling agreement associated with the Delta Project.

The sale of the wholesale power generation business is part of a plan approved by the Board of Directors on April 20, 2010, for the disposition of PHI’s Conectiv Energy segment. The plan also includes the liquidation, within the succeeding twelve months, of all of Conectiv Energy’s load service supply contracts, energy hedging portfolio, certain tolling agreements and other assets not included in the sale to Calpine.

There is no material relationship between PHI or its affiliates and the Purchaser or its affiliates other than in respect of the transaction described above.
