Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On January 30, 2010, Exelon Corporation (Exelon) announced that Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation) intends to become a member of the FutureGen Alliance (FutureGen), which has been established to help fund a clean coal technology demonstration plant in Mattoon, Illinois. A copy of the Exelon press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The proposed arrangement between Generation and FutureGen is subject to a number of conditions, including the execution of definitive agreements for participation by Generation and other contributing members. The proposed arrangement contemplates that Generation would make phased contributions of up to $32.1 million over a period of up to six years, commencing with the execution of a Cooperative Agreement between FutureGen and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to provide partial funding for the project. Contributing members would have rights to withdraw from participation before a decision is made to start actual construction of the project or if there are insufficient funds to complete the project. Construction of the project is dependent on funding from contributing members, a grant of more than $1 billion from DOE, and financing from other sources.
