Creating the nation's premier energy company |
In December 2005, FPL Group and Constellation Energy, two of the strongest, fastest-growing and most successful energy companies in America, announced that they have signed a definitive agreement to create the nation's largest competitive energy supplier and its second-largest electric utility portfolio.
|
This special edition of FYIPlus provides an overview of the transaction and the company's new management team, as well as highlights about Constellation Energy. For the latest merger developments, watch for bi-weekly special merger editions of FYINews, INFPL and other communications for updates. |
Why FPL Group and Constellation Energy are merging |
The merger of FPL Group and Constellation Energy will create a combined enterprise nearly double the size of FPL Group. Growth potential for the combined enterprise exceeds what the two companies could have achieved separately. We believe the cultures of our two companies are highly compatible and that this combination will be good for our employees, customers, communities and shareholders.
|
Extending the lead in competitive energy markets
With this transaction, the two companies are building an entity that will be uniquely positioned for success in competitive energy markets. Constellation Energy is the established leader in wholesale and retail competitive power supply, serving a combined customer peak load of more than 35,000 megawatts. FPL Energy brings an industry-leading and rapidly growing renewable energy platform and a diversified, high-performing portfolio of nearly 12,500 megawatts of capacity that more than doubles Constellation Energy's equally diversified and high-performing generation fleet, which totals nearly 12,000 megawatts. |
The combination creates a more balanced footprint in major competitive regions -
particularly in New England and Texas. This presents an important competitive advantage. Much of the power Constellation Energy sells today comes from plants it does not own, requiring it to buy and hedge supply in the open market. By combining our respective generation fleets, the combined company can lower operating costs and be even more successful in growing earnings.

|
Merger to provide growth potential, significant benefits
|
The nation's premier regulated utility business
Pairing Florida Power & Light (FPL) and Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) will create a stronger and more diversified regulated utility business. This business will contribute approximately half of the combined company's earnings, providing a strong, balanced base on which to build. |
FPL serves one of the fastest-growing areas in the nation. It is one of the most cost-efficient utilities in the country, also ranking high in service reliability. BGE, the nation's oldest utility, also has a strong reputation and customer service track record. The two utilities will continue to operate independently, and each will retain its respective company name.
|
By capitalizing on the scale of the two operations and leveraging best practices of both companies, FPL and BGE will have added opportunity to better serve customers and assist each other in the event of natural disasters. In addition, FPL can tap into Constellation Energy's coal technology and experience as it evaluates alternatives to meet the rapidly rising electric demand in Florida and the need to further diversity its fuel mix.
|
Enhanced nuclear expertise
Each company has established itself as a leading nuclear operator and combining the fleets offers significant potential for increased savings and efficiencies. FPL Group operates six nuclear power units in Florida, New Hampshire and the recently acquired Duane Arnold nuclear power unit in Iowa. Constellation Energy operates five nuclear power units in Maryland and New York. Both companies have a stated growth and consolidation strategy in the nuclear arena. Reflecting that strategy, five of the seven nuclear units sold in the U.S. since 2001 were acquired by FPL Group or Constellation Energy. The combined nuclear fleet brings an increased depth of resources and talent. |
Significant synergies
The combination is expected to generate at least $200 million to $250 million pre-tax of annual synergies available to shareholders before integration-related costs by the end of the third post-merger year. These synergies are expected to result principally from consolidation of nonregulated business unit operations, sharing of best practices, improved procurement strategies, and consolidation of systems and support activities. |
Improved operating efficiency can mean the elimination of redundant job functions. Because of strong growth prospects, however, significant job losses are not expected. More importantly, added growth potential means high-performing employees should have added career opportunities.

Frequently asked questions and answers about the merger |
While many questions have been received concerning plans to merge FPL Group and Constellation Energy, some questions simply cannot be answered until the process is further along. Every effort will be made to provide you with timely information on the status of the merger process. Watch for updates in special bi-weekly merger editions of FYINews, INFPL and other communications..
|
EMPLOYMENT |
When will I know whether, and how, the transaction will affect me, my job, my responsibilities, etc.? In areas where jobs are eliminated, how will it be decided who goes and who stays? Will it be based on seniority? Job performance? Some other criteria?
|
In the short term, it should be business as usual for virtually all FPL Group employees. It is important for you to remain focused on the day-to-day business and on meeting our customers' needs. Our industry becomes more competitive and complex each day, and we cannot afford any distraction from our business priorities while the merger process moves forward.
|
Longer term, there will be some changes for our employees and those at Constellation Energy. One of the key benefits of a merger of this kind is improved operating efficiency and that can mean elimination of redundant job functions. However, a portion of any job losses will be offset by anticipated retirements and normal attrition. More importantly, we expect to have added growth potential, which means high-performing employees should have added career opportunities. At this early stage, we have not yet done a thorough analysis of where the two organizations have roles that overlap -
that will take time and will include input from all relevant areas of each company. Be assured that anyone who does become displaced will be handled with great care. We will make concerted efforts to find affected employees suitable replacement jobs or outplacement support or severance if we cannot offer comparable jobs.
|
Will any FPL Energy employees be relocated to Baltimore?
|
Operational decisions of that sort will be made by the integration team, on which both companies will be represented and which will make such decisions based on what is best for the company, its customers and communities, and its shareholders. For the present -
that is, prior to completion of the merger -
it will be business as usual.
|
How will the merger affect FPL Group's pension and 401(k) plan?
|
The merger will have no impact on benefits already accrued under the FPL Group retirement plans. It is too early in the process to be able to provide information with regard to the exact nature of the specific benefit programs after the merger is consummated. Those decisions will be made as part of the transition and integration process. That said, the company is committed to a competitive total rewards program for our employees, including the retirement programs.
|
TRANSACTION DETAILS |
What did we announce about the merger?
|
We announced that FPL Group, Inc. and Constellation Energy, two of the strongest, fastest-growing and most successful energy companies in America, have agreed to merge, creating the nation's largest competitive energy supplier and the second-largest electric utility.
|
The combined company, which will maintain dual headquarters in Juno Beach and Baltimore and have approximately 21,750 employees, will serve more than 5.5 million electric customers in Florida and Maryland and 625,000 gas customers in Maryland. Its generation portfolio will be the nation's second-largest, exceeding 45,000 megawatts of capacity.
|
Why are we doing this?
|
The merger will create a combined enterprise with significantly more growth potential and earnings potential than what either of the two companies could achieve on a stand-alone basis.
|
It will bring together two strong, successful industry leaders whose assets and skill sets fit very well together. In fact, they combine the best of the utility and competitive energy sectors. Its competitive wholesale and retail businesses will serve thousands of commercial, industrial and utility customers. Importantly, the merger will also help us achieve a key corporate objective: building value for our shareholders.
|
What are some specific benefits of the merger?
|
The main benefit is that it should enable us to achieve a higher level of profitable growth by becoming a larger, more efficient company. FPL Group and Constellation Energy, and our respective assets and geographies, fit very well together. FPL Energy has assets in key markets, such as Texas and New England, where Constellation Energy serves considerable load beyond its owned generation supply. The merger will enable us to realize cost synergies through a fleet management approach in our expanded nuclear portfolio, which will roughly double in size to 11 units.
|
We believe that customers and shareholders will also benefit from the combining of our two respected and experienced utilities. These utilities will contribute nearly half of the new company's revenues. By capitalizing on the scale of the two operations and leveraging best practices of both companies, FPL and BGE will have added opportunity to better serve customers and can assist each other in the event of natural disasters. Both organizations have highly performance-driven cultures. Although there will be some redundancy in job functions, which will be addressed through normal attrition wherever possible, the new company will have multiple, tangible growth opportunities for employees.
|
What can FPL Group and Constellation Energy do better together than they could do separately?
|
Many things. For example, the combination creates a more balanced footprint in major competitive regions -
particularly in New England and Texas -
where FPL Energy's portfolio of nearly 12,500 megawatts of competitive generation assets will add to the capabilities and supply options of Constellation Energy as the nation's leading supplier of energy in competitive regions. By more closely matching its power sales with the output of its own larger power plant fleet, the combined company can lower operating costs and be even more successful in growing earnings. The transaction also creates growth potential for the combined enterprise that exceeds what the two companies could have achieved separately.
|
Who will be on the combined company's senior management team? How were those decisions made, or how will they be made?
|
The two companies have announced a few senior management positions. Follin Smith, currently chief financial officer and chief administrative officer for Constellation Energy, will serve in a similar role for the combined entity. After the merger, Moray Dewhurst, FPL Group's CFO, will lead the transition and integration effort. Tom Brooks of Constellation Energy will chair the Commodities Group. Jim Robo, president of FPL Energy, will oversee the generation operations and the utilities. Armando Olivera, president of FPL, and Ken DeFontes, president of BGE, will continue in their current roles.
|
Further announcements on the leadership team and other operational decisions will be made in due course by the integration team, on which both companies will be represented.
|
Will this transaction trigger a change in control and will FPL Group management receive payouts?
|
It is not anticipated that the transaction will constitute a change in control under the FPL Group Long Term Incentive Plan. While the transaction may constitute a change of control under certain individual agreements with members of senior management, all FPL Group senior officers have waived payments that could be triggered upon such a change in control, generally so long as they retain positions with comparable responsibilities within the company.
|
OPERATIONS |
As an FPL Group employee, should I contact my counterparts at Constellation Energy to discuss transition plans?
|
Not unless you are explicitly authorized to do so. It's important to remember at all times that until the merger transaction is completed, FPL Group and Constellation Energy are legally and operationally separate companies. Until the transaction is completed, both companies must and will continue to pursue their respective business activities as separate, stand-alone enterprises, exactly as before.
|
What changes can FPL Group's and Constellation Energy's customers expect as a result of the transaction? Will our ways of doing business change?
|
FPL Group and Constellation Energy will be developing plans to ensure that once the merger receives the necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals and the transaction is completed, the integration process that will then begin will be smooth and seamless. For now, the two companies will go about their business on a stand-alone basis exactly as before.
|
Both now and going forward, our respective customers can expect business as usual, with the same commitment to outstanding customer service. Over the long-term, customers should benefit through the sharing of best practices and other synergies.
|
Why will the combined company have dual headquarters?
|
Because it makes good business sense: the combined company will have a major business presence in both cities.
|
Will Florida Power & Light and Baltimore Gas and Electric retain their names?
|
Yes, both organizations have solid brand equity in their respective service areas so they will retain their names, and will continue to operate as separate, stand-alone units within Constellation Energy. They will continue to be headquartered in their respective cities.
