Item 1 - BUSINESS* DPL INC.
DPL Inc. was organized in 1985 under the laws of the State of Ohio to engage in the acquisition and holding of securities of corporations for investment purposes. The executive offices of DPL Inc. are located at Courthouse Plaza Southwest, Dayton, Ohio 45402 - telephone (513) 224-6000.
DPL Inc.'s principal subsidiary is The Dayton Power and Light Company ("DP&L"). DP&L is a public utility incorporated under the laws of Ohio in 1911. Located in West Central Ohio, it furnishes electric service to 464,000 retail customers in a 24 county service area of approximately 6,000 square miles and furnishes natural gas service to 286,000 customers in 16 counties. In addition, DP&L provides steam heating service in downtown Dayton, Ohio. DP&L serves an estimated population of 1.2 million. Principal industries served include electrical machinery, automotive and other transportation equipment, non-electrical machinery, agriculture, paper, rubber and plastic products. DP&L's sales reflect the general economic conditions and seasonal weather patterns of the area. The solid performance of the economy of West Central Ohio and seasonal summer and winter weather in 1993 contributed to increased energy sales for the year. Electric sales to business customers were up 4% for the year while total electric and natural gas sales increased 4% and 3%, respectively, as compared to 1992. During 1993, cooling degree days were 4% above the twenty year average and 35% above 1992. Heating degree days in 1993 were 3% above the thirty year average and 6% above 1992. Sales patterns will change in future years as weather and the economy fluctuate.
Subsidiaries of DP&L include MacGregor Park Inc., an owner and developer of real estate; and DP&L Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation, the owner of a downtown Dayton office building.
Other subsidiaries of DPL Inc. include Miami Valley CTC, Inc., which provides transportation services to DP&L and another unaffiliated Dayton-based company; Miami Valley Leasing, which leases vehicles and miscellaneous communications equipment, owns real estate and has a financial investment in an unaffiliated energy development company; Miami Valley Resources, Inc. ("MVR"), a natural gas supply management company; Miami Valley Lighting, Inc., a street lighting business; Miami Valley Insurance Company, an insurance company for DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries; and Miami Valley Development Company, which is engaged in the business of technology research and development.
* Unless otherwise indicated, the information given in "Item 1 - BUSINESS" is current as of March 11, 1994. No representation is made that there have not been subsequent changes to such information.
I-1
DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries are exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 because its utility business operates solely in the State of Ohio.
DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries employed 3,147 persons as of December 31, 1993, of which 2,653 are full-time employees and 494 are part-time employees.
Information relating to industry segments is contained in Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 26 of the registrant's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders ("1993 Annual Report"), which Note is incorporated herein by reference.
COMPETITION
DPL Inc. competes through its principal subsidiary, DP&L, with privately and municipally owned electric utilities and rural electric cooperatives, natural gas suppliers and other alternate fuel suppliers. DP&L competes on the basis of price and service.
Like other utilities, DP&L from time to time may have electric generating capacity available for sale to other utilities. DP&L competes with other utilities to sell electricity provided by such capacity. The ability of DP&L to sell this electricity will depend on how DP&L's price, terms and conditions compare to those of other utilities. In addition, from time to time, DP&L also makes power purchases from neighboring utilities.
In an increasingly competitive energy environment, cogenerated power may be used by customers to meet their own power needs. Cogeneration is the dual use of a form of energy, typically steam, for an industrial process and for the generation of electricity. The Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA") provides regulations covering when an electric utility is required to offer to purchase excess electric energy from cogeneration and small power production facilities that have obtained qualifying status under PURPA.
The National Energy Policy Act of 1992 which reformed the Public Utilities Holding Company Act of 1935 allows the federal government to mandate access by others to a utility's electric transmission system and may accelerate competition in the supply of electricity.
General deregulation of the natural gas industry has continued to prompt the influence of market competition as the driving force behind natural gas procurement. The maturation of the natural gas spot market in combination with open access
I-2
interstate transportation provided by pipelines has provided DP&L, as well as its end-use customers, with an array of procurement options. Customers with alternate fuel capability can continue to choose between natural gas and their alternate fuel based upon overall economics. Therefore, demand for natural gas purchased from DP&L or purchased elsewhere and transported to the end-use customer by DP&L could fluctuate based on the economics of each in comparison with changes in alternate fuel prices. For DP&L, price competition and reliability among both natural gas suppliers and interstate pipeline sources are major factors affecting procurement decisions.
In April 1992, FERC issued Order No. 636 ("Order 636") amending its regulations governing the service obligations, rate design and cost recovery of interstate pipelines. DP&L's interstate pipeline suppliers have received approval from FERC to implement their restructuring plans to comply with the regulations.
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio ("PUCO") has held roundtable discussions and meetings regarding the implications of Order 636 for local distribution companies, producers and consumers. The PUCO has issued interim guidelines allowing utilities to file revised natural gas transportation tariffs to comply with the Order, and is continuing efforts to examine the impact via roundtable discussions. DP&L's natural gas tariffs and operations comply with the PUCO's interim guidelines and the requirements of Order 636.
In January 1994, DP&L, the Staff of the PUCO and the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel (the "OCC") submitted to the PUCO an agreement which resolves issues relating to the recovery of Order 636 "transition costs" to be billed to DP&L by natural gas interstate pipeline companies. The agreement, which is subject to PUCO approval, provides for the full recovery of these transition costs from DP&L customers. The interstate pipelines will file with the FERC for authority to recover these transition costs, the exact magnitude of which has not been established.
MVR, established in 1986 as a subsidiary of DPL Inc., acts as a broker in arranging and managing natural gas supplies for business and industry. Deliveries of natural gas to MVR customers can be made through DP&L's transportation system, or another transportation system, on the same basis as deliveries to customers of other gas brokerage firms. Customers with alternate fuel capability can continue to choose between natural gas and their alternate fuel based upon overall economics.
I-3
DP&L provides service to 12 municipal customers which distribute electricity within their corporate limits. One municipality has signed a contract for DP&L to provide 95% of its requirements. In addition to these municipal customers, DP&L maintains an interconnection agreement with one municipality which can generate all or a portion of its energy requirements. Sales to municipalities represented 1.3% of total electricity sales in 1993. DP&L maintains discussions with these municipalities concerning potential energy agreements.
CONSTRUCTION AND FINANCING PROGRAM OF DPL INC.
1994-1998 Construction Program - ------------------------------
The estimated construction additions for the years 1994-1998 are set forth below: Estimated 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1994-1998 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- --------- millions Electric generation and transmission commonly owned with neighboring utilities................ $ 22 $ 28 $ 24 $ 41 $ 23 $138 Other electric generation and transmission facilities.. 43 33 34 18 13 141 Electric distribution...... 24 26 31 34 37 152 General.................... 3 3 2 1 1 10 Gas, steam and other facilities............... 17 16 14 15 15 77 --- --- --- --- --- --- Total construction..... $109 $106 $105 $109 $ 89 $518
Estimated construction costs over the next five years average $104 million annually which is approximately equal to the projected depreciation expense over the same period.
The construction additions for the period include plans to construct a series of 70 MW combustion turbine generating units scheduled to be completed at varying intervals dependent upon need. The first unit is scheduled for completion in June 1995.
I-4
Construction plans are subject to continuing review and are expected to be revised in light of changes in financial and economic conditions, load forecasts, legislative and regulatory developments and changing environmental standards, among other factors. DP&L's ability to complete its capital projects and the reliability of future service will be affected by its financial condition, the availability of external funds at reasonable cost and adequate and timely rate increases.
See ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS for a description of environmental control projects and regulatory proceedings which may change the level of future construction additions. The potential impact of these events on DP&L's operations cannot be estimated at this time.
1994-1998 Financing Program - --------------------------- DP&L will require a total of $106 million during the next five years for bond maturities and preferred stock and bond sinking funds in addition to any funds needed for the construction program. DPL Inc. will require an additional $5 million for mandatory redemptions.
At year-end 1993, DPL Inc. had a cash and temporary investment balance of $82 million. Proceeds from temporary cash investments, together with internally generated cash and future outside financings, will provide for the funding of the construction program, sinking funds and general corporate requirements.
In mid-March 1994, DPL Inc. plans to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance and sale of approximately three-and-a-half million common shares. The net proceeds from the planned sale of shares, estimated to equal approximately $65 million, would be contributed to DP&L which would use the funds, along with temporary cash investments and/or short-term borrowings, to redeem in May 1994 all of the outstanding shares of its Preferred Stock, Series D, E, F, H and I, which have an average dividend rate of 8.1%.
During late 1992 and early 1993, DP&L took advantage of favorable market conditions to reduce its cost of debt and extend maturities through early refundings. Three new series of First Mortgage Bonds were issued in 1992 in the aggregate principal amount of $320 million at an average interest rate of 7.8% to finance the redemption of a similar principal amount of debt securities. Additionally, in early 1993, DP&L issued two new series of First Mortgage Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $446 million at an average interest rate of 8.0% to finance the redemption of a similar principal amount of six series of First Mortgage Bonds. The amounts and timings of future financings will depend upon market and other conditions, rate increases, levels of sales and construction plans.
I-5
In November 1989, DPL Inc. entered into a revolving credit agreement ("the Credit Agreement") with a consortium of banks renewable through 1998 which allows total borrowings by DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries of $200 million. DP&L has authority from the PUCO to issue short term debt up to $200 million with a maximum debt limit of $300 million including loans from DPL Inc. under the terms of the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 1993, DPL Inc. had no outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement. At December 31, 1992, DPL Inc. had $90 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement which was used to fund share purchases for DPL Inc.'s Employee Stock Ownership Plan. These borrowings were repaid in January 1993 with the proceeds from the issuance of $90 million of DPL Inc.'s 7.83% Notes due 2007.
DP&L also has $97 million available in short term informal lines of credit At year-end, DP&L had $10 million outstanding from these lines of credit and $15 million in commercial paper outstanding.
Under DP&L's First and Refunding Mortgage, First Mortgage Bonds may be issued on the basis of (i) 60% of unfunded property additions, subject to net earnings, as defined, being at least two times interest on all First Mortgage Bonds outstanding and to be outstanding, and (ii) 100% of retired First Mortgage Bonds. DP&L anticipates that, during 1994-98, it will be able to issue sufficient First Mortgage Bonds to satisfy its long-term debt requirements in connection with the financing of its construction and refunding programs discussed above.
The maximum amount of First Mortgage Bonds which may be issued in the future will fluctuate depending upon interest rates, the amounts of bondable property additions, earnings and retired First Mortgage Bonds. There are no coverage tests for the issuance of preferred stock under DP&L's Amended Articles of Incorporation.
ELECTRIC OPERATIONS AND FUEL SUPPLY
DP&L's present winter generating capability is 3,053,000 KW. Of this capability, 2,843,000 KW (approximately 93%) is derived from coal-fired steam generating stations and the balance consists of combustion turbine and diesel-powered peaking units. Approximately 87% (2,472,000 KW) of the existing steam generating capability is provided by certain units owned as tenants in common with the Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company ("CG&E") or with CG&E and Columbus Southern Power Company ("CSP"). Under the agreements among the companies, each company owns a specified undivided share of each facility, is entitled to its share of capacity and energy output, and has a capital and operating cost responsibility proportionate to its ownership share.
I-6
A merger agreement between CG&E and PSI Resources is currently pending. DP&L has intervened in the merger proceeding currently pending at the FERC so that the operations of its commonly owned generating units will not be materially impacted by the merger.
The remaining steam generating capability (371,000 KW) is derived from a generating station owned solely by DP&L. DP&L's all time net peak load was 2,765,000 KW, which occurred in July 1993. The present summer generating capability is 3,017,000 KW.

In order to transmit energy to their respective systems from their commonly-owned generating units, the companies have constructed and own, as tenants in common, 847 circuit miles of 345,000-volt transmission lines. DP&L has several interconnections with other companies for the purchase, sale and interchange of electricity.
DP&L derived over 99% of its electric output from coal-fired units in 1993. The remainder was derived from units burning oil or natural gas which were used to meet peak demands.
DP&L estimates that approximately 65-85% of its coal requirements for the period 1994-1998 will be obtained through long term contracts, with the balance to be obtained by spot market purchases. DP&L has been informed by CG&E and CSP through the procurement plans for the commonly owned units operated by them that sufficient coal supplies will be available during the same planning horizon.
The prices to be paid by DP&L under its long term coal contracts are subject to adjustment in accordance with various indices. Each contract has features that will limit price escalations in any given year.
The total average price per million British Thermal Units ("MMBTU") of coal received in each of 1993 and 1992 was $1.46/MMBTU and $1.56/MMBTU in 1991.
The average fuel cost per kWh generated of all fuel burned for electric generation (coal, gas and oil) for the year was 1.43 cents which represents a decrease from 1.48 cents in 1992 and 1.60 cents in 1991. Through the operation of a fuel cost adjustment clause applicable to electric sales, the increases and decreases in fuel costs are reflected in customer rates on a timely basis. See RATE REGULATION AND GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION and ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS.
GAS OPERATIONS AND GAS SUPPLY
DP&L has long term firm pipeline transportation agreements with ANR Gas Pipeline Company ("ANR") through 1997 and Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation ("Columbia"), Columbia Gulf Transmission Corporation, Texas Gas Transmission Corporation ("Texas Gas") and Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company ("Panhandle") through 2004. Along with the firm transportation services DP&L has approximately 16 billion cubic feet of storage service with the various pipelines. DP&L also maintains and operates four propane-air plants with a daily rated capacity of approximately 67,500 thousand cubic feet ("MCF") of natural gas.
I-8
Coordinated with the pipeline service agreements, DP&L has 14 firm natural gas supply agreements with various natural gas producers. DP&L purchased approximately 90% of its 1993 supply under these producer agreements and the remaining supplies on the spot/short term market. DP&L purchased natural gas during 1993 at an average price of $3.65 per MCF, compared to $3.31 per MCF and $2.70 per MCF in 1992 and 1991, respectively. Through the operation of a natural gas cost adjustment clause applicable to gas sales, increases and decreases in DP&L's natural gas costs are reflected in customer rates on a timely basis. See RATE REGULATION AND GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION.
DP&L is also interconnected with CNG Transmission Corporation and Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation. Several interconnections with various interstate pipelines provide DP&L the opportunity to purchase competitively-priced natural gas supplies and pipeline services.
During 1993, DP&L implemented requirements of Order 636 with all of its natural gas interstate pipeline suppliers. As a result of FERC's mandate that pipelines no longer bundle the product of natural gas with pipeline transportation into one package, DP&L purchased the majority of its natural gas in 1993 under direct market purchases. Additionally, the implementation of Order 636 required DP&L to purchase certain volumes of natural gas from interstate pipelines to fill storage. In the future, DP&L will obtain all its natural gas from direct market purchases or pipelines based on cost and reliability. DP&L has natural gas agreements that meet 90% of its requirements. The remainder will be purchased to meet seasonal requirements under short term purchase agreements.
The PUCO continues to support open access, nondiscriminatory transportation of natural gas by the state's local distribution companies for end-use customers. The PUCO has guidelines to provide a standardized structure for end-use transportation programs which requires a tariff providing the prices, terms and conditions for such service. DP&L has filed a transportation tariff to comply with these guidelines and approval is pending. During 1993, DP&L provided transportation service to 185 end-use customers, delivering a total quantity of 13,401,229 MCF.
Columbia and Panhandle have obtained conditional approval from FERC to recover take-or-pay and contract reformation costs from DP&L through fixed demand surcharges pursuant to revised FERC rules. The validity of the revisions was reviewed and dismissed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Pursuant to a settlement approved by the PUCO, DP&L may recover take-or-pay costs from its retail and transportation customers.
I-9
On April 30, 1990, Columbia filed an application with FERC to implement a general rate increase in order to recover, among other things, costs associated with construction of certain "Global Settlement" facilities. The rates were accepted to become effective November 1, 1990. A partial offer of settlement was accepted on April 16, 1992, and an initial decision on the remaining issues was issued on November 13, 1992. On May 31, 1991, Columbia filed a second application with FERC to implement a general rate increase which was partially accepted effective December 1, 1991. On October 1, 1991, Columbia filed a third application to implement a general rate increase which was partially accepted to become effective April 1, 1992. The second and third applications were subsequently consolidated into one rate proceeding, and rate design, cost classification and cost allocations were further consolidated into Columbia's restructuring proceeding referenced in following paragraphs. A settlement dated November 9, 1992, regarding the remaining cost of service and throughput issues was approved by FERC April 2, 1993.
On April 27, 1990, Texas Gas filed an application with FERC to implement a general rate increase which was accepted to become effective November 1, 1990. This docket was consolidated into the Texas Gas restructuring proceeding which was made effective November 1, 1993. On May 1, 1992, Panhandle filed an application with FERC to implement a general rate increase which rates were accepted effective November 1, 1992. A hearing on this matter is set for May 17, 1994. On April 29, 1993 Texas Gas filed a second application with FERC to implement a rate increase which was accepted effective November 1, 1993. A hearing on this matter is set for June 28, 1994. On November 1, 1993, ANR filed an application with FERC to implement a rate increase which was accepted effective May 2, 1994. Through the operation of a natural gas cost adjustment clause applicable to gas sales, increases and decreases in DP&L's natural gas costs are reflected in customer rates on a timely basis.
On July 31, 1991, Columbia Gas System Inc. and Columbia, one of DP&L's major pipeline suppliers, filed separate Chapter 11 petitions in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The bankruptcy court permitted Columbia to break approximately 4,500 long term natural gas contracts with upstream suppliers on August 22, 1991, January 6, 1992, and January 8, 1992. The bankruptcy court issued an order on March 18, 1992, granting approval of an agreement between the customers and Columbia which assures the continuation of all firm service agreements (including storage) through the winter of 1993, with year-to-year continuation unless adequate notice is provided. On February 13, 1992, the bankruptcy court ruled on a motion by Columbia to flow through to its customers all appropriate refunds, including take-or-pay refunds which were received from its upstream suppliers and
I-10
excessive rate refunds except for approximately $18 million of pre-petition take-or-pay refunds. However, on July 6, 1992, the United States District Court for Delaware reversed the bankruptcy court. On July 8, 1993, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court for Delaware and reinstated the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's ruling that Columbia may flow through to its customers all post petition take-or-pay refunds which were received from its upstream suppliers. The U.S. Supreme Court denied an appeal on February 18, 1994 of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals'1decision. DP&L expects full recovery of all take-or-pay refunds received by Columbia post petition. The parties to the bankruptcy are currently evaluating Columbia's proposed plan of reorganization. Based upon a July 1993 FERC Order disallowing the recovery of natural gas producer contracts rejected in the bankruptcy case, DP&L does not expect the bankruptcy proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its earnings or competitive position.
In April 1992 FERC issued Order 636 which amended its regulations governing the service obligations of interstate pipelines. Some of the major changes enacted include unbundling of pipeline sales from transportation, the creation of a "no-notice" transportation service, pre-granted abandonment for all interruptible and short term firm transportation subject to a right-of-first refusal, capacity brokering, rate design and transition costs. All interstate pipeline filings were made effective by November 1, 1993.
In response to Order 636 issued by FERC, the PUCO has initiated roundtable discussions with natural gas utilities and other interested parties to discuss the impact of the Order and the state regulation of natural gas utilities. The PUCO has issued interim guidelines allowing utilities to file revised natural gas transportation tariffs to comply with Order 636, and is continuing to examine the impact via ongoing roundtable discussions that run concurrently with the interstate pipelines' restructuring proceedings. The interim guidelines also require each natural gas utility to file plans for peak day operations. DP&L's operations comply with all interim guidelines and DP&L expects full recovery of all Order 636 transition costs.
RATE REGULATION AND GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION
DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries are exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 because its utility business operates solely in the State of Ohio.
DP&L's sales of electricity, natural gas and steam to retail customers are subject to rate regulation by the PUCO and various municipalities. DP&L's wholesale electric rates to municipal corporations and other distributors of electric energy are subject to regulation by FERC under the Federal Power Act.
I-11
Ohio law establishes the process for determining rates charged by public utilities. Regulation of rates encompasses the timing of applications, the effective date of rate increases, the cost basis upon which the rates are based and other related matters. Ohio law also established the Office of the OCC, which is authorized to represent residential consumers in state and federal judicial and administrative rate proceedings.
DP&L's electric and natural gas rate schedules contain certain recovery and adjustment clauses subject to periodic audits by, and proceedings before, the PUCO. Electric fuel and gas costs are expensed as recovered through rates.
Ohio legislation extends the jurisdiction of the PUCO to the records and accounts of certain public utility holding company systems, including DPL Inc. The legislation extends the PUCO's supervisory powers to a holding company system's general condition and capitalization, among other matters, to the extent that they relate to the costs associated with the provision of public utility service. Additionally, the legislation requires PUCO approval of (i) certain transactions and transfers of assets between public utilities and entities within the same holding company system, and (ii) prohibits investments by a holding company in subsidiaries which are not public utilities in an amount in excess of 15% of the aggregate capitalization of the holding company on a consolidated basis at the time such investments are made.
In April 1991, DP&L filed an application with the PUCO to increase its electric rates to recover costs associated with the construction of the William H. Zimmer Generating Station ("Zimmer"), earn a return on DP&L's investment and recover the current costs of providing electric service to its customers. In November 1991, DP&L entered into a settlement agreement with various consumer groups resolving all issues in the case. The PUCO approved the agreement on January 22, 1992. Pursuant to that agreement, new electric rates took effect February 1, 1992, January 2, 1993 and January 3, 1994. The agreement also established a baseline return on equity of 13% (subject to upward adjustment) until DP&L's next electric rate case. In the event that DP&L's return exceeds the allowed return by between one and two percent, then one half of the excess return will be used to reduce the cost of demand-side management ("DSM") programs. Any return that exceeds the allowed return by more than two percent will be entirely credited to these programs. Amounts deferred during the phase-in period, including carrying charges, will be capitalized and recovered over seven years commencing in 1994. Deferrals were $58 million in 1992 and $28 million in 1993. The recovery expected in 1994, net of additional carrying cost deferrals, is $10 million. The phase-in plan meets the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 92.
I-12
In addition, DP&L agreed to undertake cost-effective DSM programs with an average annual cost of $15 million for four years commencing in 1992. The amount recovered in rates was $4.6 million in 1992. This amount increased to $7.8 million in 1993 and will remain at that level in subsequent years. The difference between expenditures and amounts recovered through rates is deferred and is eligible for recovery in future rates in accordance with existing PUCO rulings.
In March 1991, the PUCO granted DP&L the authority to defer interest charges, net of income tax, on its 28.1% ownership investment in Zimmer from the March 30, 1991, commercial in-service date through January 31, 1992. Deferred interest charges on the investment in Zimmer have been adjusted to a before tax basis in 1993 as a result of FASB Statement No. 109. Amounts deferred are being amortized over the life of the plant.
Regulatory deferrals on the balance sheet were:
Dec. 31 Dec. 31 1993 1992 -------- -------- --millions--
Phase-in $ 85.8 $ 57.7 DSM 23.3 2.2 Deferred interest - Zimmer 63.7 43.9 ------ ------ Total $172.8 $103.8 ====== ======
In 1989 the PUCO approved rules for the implementation of a comprehensive Integrated Resource Planning ("IRP") program for all investor-owned electric utilities in Ohio. Under this program, each utility is required to file an IRP as part of its Long Term Forecast Report ("LTFR"). The IRP requires each utility to evaluate available demand-side resource options in addition to supply-side options to determine the most cost-effective means for satisfying customer requirements. The rules currently allow a utility to apply for deferred recovery of DSM program expenditures and lost revenues between LTFR proceedings. Ultimate recovery of deferred expenditures is contingent on review and approval of such programs as cost-effective and consistent with the most recent IRP proceeding. The rules also allow utilities to submit alternative proposals for the recovery of DSM programs and related costs.
I-13
In 1991 the PUCO ruled that DP&L's 1991 LTFR be consolidated and reviewed in conjunction with DP&L's 1992 LTFR proceeding. DP&L filed its 1992 LTFR in June 1992. DP&L also filed its environmental compliance plan in June 1992, and asked the PUCO to consolidate the environmental compliance plan proceeding with the LTFR proceeding. The PUCO granted DP&L's request to consolidate the cases. The evidentiary hearing on DP&L's 1991/1992 LTFR and environmental compliance plan was held on February 17, 1993. The parties entered into a stipulation in settlement of all issues which continues DP&L's commitment to DSM programs. The stipulation was approved by the PUCO on May 6, 1993.
DP&L has in place a percentage of income payment plan ("PIPP") for eligible low-income households as required by the PUCO. This plan prohibits disconnections for nonpayment of customer bills if eligible low-income households pay a specified percentage of their household income toward their utility bill. The PUCO has approved a surcharge by way of a temporary base rate tariff rider which allows companies to recover arrearages accumulated under PIPP. In 1993 DP&L reached a settlement with the PUCO staff, the Office of the OCC and the Legal Aid Society to provide new and expanded programs for PIPP eligible customers. The expanded programs include greater arrears crediting, lower monthly payments, educational programs and information reports. In exchange, DP&L may accelerate recovery of PIPP and pre-PIPP arrearages and recover program costs. The settlement also established a four year moratorium on changes to the program. The PUCO approved the settlement on December 2, 1993. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, DP&L filed an application on January 21, 1994 to lower its PIPP rate. To date, the PUCO has not acted on DP&L's application.
In 1991 the PUCO issued a Finding and Order which encourages electric utilities to undertake the competitive bidding of new supply-side energy projects. The policy also encourages utilities to provide transmission grid access to those supply-side energy providers awarded bids by utilities. Electric utilities are permitted to bid on their own proposals. The PUCO has issued for comment proposed rules for competitive bidding but has not issued final rules at this time.
DP&L initiated a competitive bidding process in January 1993 for the construction of up to 140 MW of electric peaking capacity and energy by 1997. Through an Ohio Power Siting Board ("OPSB") investigative process, DP&L's self-built option was evaluated to be the least cost option. On March 7, 1994, the OPSB approved DP&L's applications for up to three 70 MW combustion turbines and two natural gas supply lines for the proposed site.
I-14
The OPSB issued rules on March 22, 1993 to provide electric and magnetic field information in applications for construction of major generating and transmission facilities. DP&L has addressed the topics covered by the new rules in all recent projects. One utility requested a rehearing on the rules which was denied by the OPSB on May 24, 1993. At this time DP&L cannot predict the ultimate impact associated with the siting of new transmission lines.
On March 25, 1993, the PUCO adopted guidelines for the treatment of emission allowances created by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Under the guidelines, DP&L's emission allowance trading plans, procedures, practices, activity and associated costs will be reviewed in its annual electric fuel component audit proceeding. The PUCO guidelines are being appealed by an industrial consumer group. In its Entry on emission allowances, the PUCO directed its Staff to develop proposed accounting guidelines for allowance trading programs in accordance with FERC rulemaking efforts. According to FERC Order No. 552 issued on March 23, 1993, DP&L will value allowances based on a weighted average cost methodology.
On May 26, 1993, the Senate of the State of Ohio approved the appointment of Mr. David W. Johnson as PUCO commissioner.
On January 12, 1994, the Ohio Consumers' Counsel Governing Board appointed Robert S. Tongren, a former assistant attorney general, to the position of Consumers' Counsel. Mr. Tongren replaced William A. Spratley, whose resignation from this position became effective September 30, 1993.
On February 22, 1994 a bill was introduced in the State of Ohio House of Representatives which, if approved, would give electric consumers the opportunity to obtain "retail" and "wholesale at retail" services from electric suppliers other than their current supplier at competitive rates. The ultimate disposition of the bill or its effect on DP&L cannot be determined at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The operations of DP&L, including the commonly owned facilities operated by DP&L, CG&E and CSP, are subject to federal, state, and local regulation as to air and water quality, disposal of solid waste and other environmental matters, including the location, construction and initial operation of new electric generating facilities and most electric transmission lines. DP&L expended $6 million for environmental control facilities during 1993. The possibility exists that current environmental regulations could be revised which could change the level of estimated 1994-1998 construction expenditures. See CONSTRUCTION AND FINANCING PROGRAM OF DPL INC.
I-15
Air Quality - -----------
In July 1985, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("U.S. EPA") adopted final stack height rules which could result in the lowering of emission limits for sulfur dioxide and particulate matter from affected units. DP&L operates one unit (Killen Station) potentially affected by these rules. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency ("Ohio EPA") has determined that Killen Station is not impacting air quality and, therefore, no further action is needed at this time. CSP has informed DP&L that Conesville Unit 4 is not affected by the rules. CG&E has informed DP&L that Miami Fort Unit 7 is "grandfathered" from regulation and that Miami Fort Unit 8 is not affected by the rules because Miami Fort Unit 5 is picking up the necessary emission reductions. On June 17 and July 12, 1988, DP&L and others filed with the U.S. Supreme Court two petitions for a Writ of Certiorari seeking a review of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that addressed the 1985 stack height rules. Those petitions were denied in October 1988 and, as a result, the U.S. EPA planned to begin a remand rulemaking to address issues arising from a lower Court's opinion. The U.S. EPA continues to work on a remand rulemaking.
In December 1988, the U.S. EPA notified the State of Ohio that the portion of its State Implementation Plan ("SIP") dealing with sulfur dioxide emission limitations for Hamilton County (in southwestern Ohio) was deficient and required the Ohio EPA to develop a new SIP within 18 months. The notice affects industrial and utility sources and could require significant reductions in sulfur dioxide emission limitations at CG&E's Miami Fort Units 7 and 8 which are jointly owned with DP&L. In February 1989, CG&E, together with other industrial sources affected by the notice, filed a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit of the U.S. EPA's issuance of the notice. In July 1989, the Court of Appeals dismissed the petition for review. In April 1990, the Ohio EPA published its proposed revised SIP for comment. In June 1990, CG&E submitted its comments challenging the revisions, arguing that the proposed SIP is based on a computer model which is unsuitable and invalid for the hilly terrain of Hamilton County, and that in the last ten years, no violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for SO2 has ever been monitored.
In order to support its position, CG&E is taking part in an air monitoring program designed to prove that the present SIP adequately protects the ambient air quality. In October 1991, the Ohio EPA adopted new SO2 regulations for Hamilton County. These regulations do not change the preexisting requirements for Miami Fort Units 7 and 8. The new regulations have been submitted to the U.S. EPA. On January 27, 1994, the
I-16
U.S. EPA provided notice in the Federal Register that the new regulations for the Ohio SIP for Hamilton County were conditionally approved.
Changing environmental regulations continue to increase the cost of providing service in the utility industry. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the "Act") will limit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions nationwide. The Act will restrict emissions in two phases with Phase I compliance completed by 1995 and Phase II completed by 2000. Final regulations were issued by the U.S. EPA on January 11, 1993. These regulations are consistent with earlier Act restrictions and do not change the expected costs of compliance of DP&L.
DP&L's preliminary compliance plan was filed with the PUCO in June 1992 and consolidated with the 1991/1992 LTFR proceeding. DP&L anticipates meeting the requirements of Phase I by switching to lower sulfur coal at several commonly owned electric generating facilities and increasing existing scrubber removal efficiency. Cost estimates to comply with Phase I of the Act are approximately $10 million in capital expenditures. Phase I compliance is expected to have a minimal 1% to 2% price impact. Phase II requirements can be met primarily by switching to lower sulfur coal at all non-scrubbed coal-fired electric generating units. The stipulation entered into on February 17, 1993 with regards to the LTFR, including the environmental compliance plan, was approved by the PUCO on May 6, 1993. DP&L anticipates that costs to comply with the Act will be eligible for recovery in future fuel hearings and other regulatory proceedings.
On March 16, 1993, DP&L received a Finding of Violation from the U.S. EPA regarding opacity standards at Killen Station and, on March 17, 1993, a Notice of Violation from the U.S. EPA regarding opacity standards at Stuart Station. DP&L has subsequently conducted conferences with the U.S. EPA to discuss the Finding and Notice. On October 11, 1993, DP&L entered into negotiated Consent Orders with the U.S. EPA for the alleged violations at Killen and Stuart Stations. The Consent Orders do not require payment of any penalty but require DP&L to formalize emissions control measures.
Land Use - --------
DP&L and numerous other parties have been notified by the U.S. EPA that it considers them Potentially Responsible Parties ("PRPs") for clean-up at three superfund sites in Ohio - the Sanitary Landfill Site on Cardington Road in Montgomery County Ohio, the United Scrap Lead Site in Miami County, Ohio, and the Powell Road Landfill in Huber Heights, Montgomery County, Ohio.
I-17
DP&L received notification from the U.S. EPA in July 1987, for the Cardington Road site. DP&L has not joined the PRP group formed at that site because of the absence of any known evidence that DP&L contributed hazardous substances to this site. The Record of Decision issued by the U.S. EPA identifies the chosen clean-up alternative at a cost estimate of $8.1 million.
DP&L received notification from the U.S. EPA in September 1987, for the United Scrap Lead Site. DP&L has joined a PRP group for this site, which is actively conferring with the U.S. EPA. The Record of Decision issued by the U.S. EPA estimates clean-up costs at $27.1 million. DP&L is one of over 200 parties to this site, and its estimated contribution to the site is less than .01%. Nearly 60 PRPs are actively working to settle the case. DP&L is participating in the sponsorship of a study to evaluate alternatives to the U.S. EPA's clean-up plan. The final resolution of these investigations will not have a material effect on DP&L's financial position or earnings.
DP&L and numerous other parties received notification from the U.S. EPA on May 21, 1993 that it considers them PRPs for clean-up of hazardous substances at the Powell Road Landfill Site in Huber Heights, Ohio. DP&L has joined the PRP group for the site. On October 1, 1993, the U.S. EPA issued its Record of Decision identifying a cost estimate of $20.5 million for the chosen remedy. DP&L is one of over 200 PRPs to this site, and its estimated contribution is less than 1%. The final resolution will not have a material effect on DP&L's financial position or earnings.
