Section 8 - Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events
On May 23, 2018, Exelon Corporation (Exelon) learned the results of the PJM capacity auction for the 2021-2022 planning year. Exelon Generation Company, LLC’s (Generation’s) Dresden and Three Mile Island nuclear plants in the PJM market did not clear in the auction and will not receive capacity revenue for that period, and all but a small portion of the Byron nuclear plant also failed to clear the auction. While Dresden and all but a small portion of the Byron nuclear plant did not clear in the auction, they are not at risk of early retirement at this time as they are committed to honoring their capacity obligations through May 2021 and 2022, respectively. Generation’s other nuclear plants in PJM cleared in the auction, except Oyster Creek, which is scheduled to retire by October 2018 and did not participate in the auction. The auction results take effect June 1, 2021.
The table set forth below lists Exelon’s cleared nuclear and fossil capacity volumes for the 2021-2022 capacity auction by zone.
