Since the Board of I)irectors elected me Chairman of BGNE last summer. I have met h.f f'? face-to-face with hundreds of employees in virtually every department. I am very encouraged by ] M p %L ,,g their talents, enterprise, and energy. Indeed, I'm convinced that our employees are the wmpany's most important resource. l As your new Chairman, I wou1J like to share with you my plans and vision ihr Baltimore Gas and Electric for the decade of the '90s. It is undeniably true that the utility industry is facing more competition in power generation. more technological innovation and economic j i ,/. a volatility, and increased customer and gm ernment demands. o, r For this new era, we have launched a new way of doing business. More than two years ago, we initiated a proactive and forward-looking strategy called the Organizational Perfor- /s mance Improvement Process-OPIP fhr short-to prepare our company to meet the new chal-r. - r: lenges and emerging competition in aur industry and to identify opportunitics fbr growth and i renewal. With the cooperation and participation of employees at every level our entire organi-j t zation has evaluated its strengths. weaknesses, goals, and ideals. 4 n. y The OP]P strategy for continuous improvement has alTected virtually every aspect of our business, from management philosophy. staffing budgeting. and planning to employee wmpensation and attitude. We have defined our company's Vision to become a World Class energy company. estab- ~ j lished our company's Mi.oian to achieve complete customer 3"*# i-A. . satisfaction by providing superior energy products and 1 .'d. m_ servkes, and real[trmed critical compan.y l' /un as the ke.y to J our future success. BGNE is striving to become a premier energy c. r company to achieve better results and a higher level of performance for our key stakeholders. Our goal is ambi-to be rewgnized as one of a handitd of top utility \\ ' nous: W companies of distinctive investment quality and consistent earnings growth, and to be ranked among the best in customer sernce, value, and reliability.

Our Conserve 2000 initiative helps customers realize energy savings, boosts the competitive advantage of area industries, and protects the environment. It also serves shareholder interests by he! ping io contain power generation costs. Ccmservation means, however, that our company must develop all potential sources of revenue for future growth. I believe our gas business is a key area for fiiture growth, and I expect sales *. icrease as the public and government increasingly recognize the advantages of "BGdli is striving gas as a deamtiurning, abundant, and competitively priced fuel. We are making investments necessary to expand our gas service and promote natu: d-gas-powered vehides. to herome d premier Constellation I-loldings, our subsidiary, is also capitalizing on new energy opportunities. With seven years of esperience in developing, operating, and owning non-regulated power curlyy Company lo project % the Constellation Companies are positioned to benefit from the national trend toward competition in power generation. df/>ieve herrer results 1.asi October, the %tional Energy Act was adopted by Congress and signed into law by the President. This far-reaching Icgidation presents many opportunities and challenges. but 1 anda higher /ere/ of l believe it will have an overall positive impact on BG&E. The bill gives our company more flex-l ibility to purchase power from independent power producers and provides new freedom to our pnjormamc[or our Constellation subsidiary to develop economical power-generation proiccts in domestic markets. For 1992. Baltimore Gas and Electric earnings were $1.63 per share, down from S t.67 hey stahcholders." j per shue in 1991. The kiwcr per-share earnings resulted from an increase in the number of l shares outstanding and from the adverse efTect on utility operations of unfavorable weather and a duggish loc.d economy. Diversified business activities contributed Ile per share, up from 7e per share the previous year. The Board of Directors was able to increase the dividend to SI A4 ) I per share, a 2.9 percent pain over 1991, based on the company's long-term prospects for grov th in earnings. The mmpany has paid cash dividends every year since 1910, an 83-year rewrd of uninterrupt :d dividend payments. l 1 am pleased to lead our company in these changing and complex times. As inheritors of a proud tradition of excellence at BG&E, we strive to perform as World Class by balancing critic;d measures of succcss; achieving outstanding customer service, providing competitive rates for our services, offering a favorable return for our shareholders, providing a superior place for our employees to work. being a good steward of the environment, and demonstrating good corporate diizenship. These are the standards by w hich our company seeks to be judged. This is an exciting tirne for all of us at BG&E. We live in a world of perpetual change. I'm convinced that through OPIP and our other etTorts, our company has the power to capi-talize on change and achieve our vision of becoming a World Class energy company. b yi / C CmuSTIAN I1. l'OINist'X1rR Chairman ofthe Boardand ChiefEverurirr Officer February 15,1993 3 l
.I THE LEGACY 0F GEORGE V. McG0WAN d a .e, corge McGowan likes to describe himself as a born engineer. Maryland Governor 4 l j~ William Donald Schaefer prefers to think of him as a peerless civic leader. In reality, 7 gy George McGowan is both, and BGNE has been the greatest beneficiary of his enraordi-h nary qualities. The strong relationships he has built with government and civic leaders have j created for this company an unmatched fund of civic and political upital. i George rewgnized early the need to forge relationships among business, government, and the community. He was the driving force behind the creation of the Governor's Volunteer { Council, and, as the long-standing chairman of that W. $7ed group, he has involved the private sector in meeting S urgent civic needs. i W As diam and former Campaign Chairman of k% [lE. h '7 5 n000.k i_ 7 2. the United Way of Central Maryland and Chairman of w .y g e.;- s,g, ;

As Chairman of the University of Maryland Board of Regents, George hkGowan directed the creation of the University of Maryland System, a fascaching reorganization of higher education. Always an engineer at n i heart, he serves as Chairman of the Board of Overseers of his ow n alma mater, the Bahimore r 1 Polytechnic Institute, the city's specialized science and pre-engineering high school. 4 I lie has been an equally tireless leader within the utility industry. In 1987, when George was President of the company, BGNE won the Edison Medal, the utility industry's highest r honor, for its wiJe-ranging connihutions to the community and particularly for its long-term ) conunitment to education. Throughout his wmmunity and industrv involvement, George McGowan remained a i forucful, handron executive. As Chairman, he guided BGNE through the difiicuh challenge of modernizing the Calvert Chffs nuclear plant, steered the company through a recessionary economy, and initiated an organiational imptosement plan that has enabled him to leave an organization that, in the words oi his successor. Chris Poindexter, is " stronger than any I've seen j in nyvears here.' j 4 4 I
r i C0RP0 RATE PR0F1LE l i l f; fd' t altimore Gas and Electric Company, with assets over 57 billion and f more than 9,100 employees, combines a core utility business with p if.4 [ diversified, non-utility operations. As the nation's oldest gas utility and g gf y one of its first electric atilities, we have a tradition of superior, low- [ a @;.p cost service and reliability. That uadition is the key to our future he unlity strategy and to the achievement of our corporate vision: perfor-mance as a World Class energy company. Our 2.3004quare-mile Central Maryland service area is economically diverse and offers a broad business base.

UT1L1TY 0PERATIONS AND C D FJ S T E L L A T I O N C0MPANIES REVIEW h r wy a FW N T E R I N G A NEW ERA WITH OPIP J 3b. 9 ~ More than two years ago, we launched the Organizational Performance rP Improvement Prmess (OPIP) to establish 11GNE as Central Maryland's I energv tompany of choice. We believe that performing as a World Class n j energy company is not a fmal destination, but a lifelong journey of ^ ~~ continuous improvement and ever-higher standards of performance. 1 pg l Our company enjoys a strong foundation: customer satisfaction with l S ALES OF ELECTRICITY our (ompany is high and outpaces national utility averages. BGNE's latest residential customer favorability rating of Si percent is about six points higher than the national average for the utility industry. i l While these ratings are encouraging, the company continues to strive for improvement in all areas. An explanation of recent accomplishments and other company operations follows. I I 4 e i i I t I UTILITY O P E H A TIO N S l p p 1 l i, Dectric Sales j i l l Our electric sales are thnely tied to the growth of the Central Maryland economy and the I i weather. While milder summer weather than in 1991 and a slow-growing area economy caused l I l I total electricity sales to decrease less than 1 percent from 1991, electricity sales to residential customers decreased 3.6 percent. Commercial and industrial electric sales, ahhough adversely aticcted by the recession, increased at a moderate 1 percent rate. me Generation BGNE met generation needs in 1992 through a conunitment to environmentally sound, safe. SALES OF GAS rcliable, and competitively priced power production. Forty percent of our total power produc-tion was generated by nuclear units,54 percent by wal-burning facilities,3 pucent by hydro-clet nic plants. and 3 percent by oil, natural gas, and purchases. The company achicted substantial progress in safety and quality at its Calvert Cliffs l l Nuclear Power Plant as a result of an ongoing. comprehensive program ofimprovement and l l modernization. In February 1992, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) removed f ( f Calven Chffs from its list of plants requiring close monitoring. On June 24,1992, the NRC I l I announced the resuhs ofits most recent Systematic Assessment of1.icensee Perfbrmance-its l l repon taring Calven Cliffs' performante in sesen categories from April 1,1991, to March 28, 3 j i 1992. In that report, the NRC gave Calven Cliffs ihree superior ratings and four good ratings. We continued the wmpetitive positioning of our fossil plants through retirement of high-wst units and a division-wide OPIP cffbrt that is increasing the productivity of our peopic. I ossil energy plants reduced operating expenses by $6 million in 1992. a 6
Pourr Traminiuion and Distritnerion Florida's liurricane Andrew reminded us how vulnerable trammission and distribution systems (an be to violent storrm. While our state was spared such uvere weather, a 1)cccmber 1992 storm ripped through Ccntral Maryland, knocking out service to nearly 100,000 customers. More ihan 1.800 IK,&E oewmen and support staff worked through the nigla in int!cment weather to restore senice. At IMINE, we never forget that restoring service quickly in emergen- ) cies is a uitic4d part of out (ommitment to provide superior cmtomer seni(c. ELECTRIC PE AK LOAD The company's strategy for continuous improvement is aho demonstrated through osmpicL nsive plans for upgrading and improsing our trammission and disuibution 3ystent Signifhant transmission linc upgrades already have been completed in the nonhern and nonh-casicrn ponions of the servic e ictritory, at a total mst of about $50 million. The mmpany is r also exicnding and upgrading i 15-kV trammission lines fnim Waugh Chapel to Cedar Park, a l [ $12.5 million pmica that should be mmplcied by 1994. Protecting Our Ent ironment Operation of our power plants will not be significantly ahcted by the requirements of Phase i i of the Clean Air Act, uhich heunnes cifcctive in 1995. Regulations for Phase 11, effective in the L j l year 2000, are yet to be mmpleted. We are working hard to ensure that our power-generation plants are among the mou environmentally sound in the muntry. In the last five years, we have speni mcr SP)O milhon on enviromnental impnnements, and Phase I wmpliance plans are estimated to unt about $55 million. Planningfhr Furmr Enngy Needs We project that our servite area will require additional generating capacity in the '90s. Last year we obtained permission to build a lau-megawatt peaking plant at our Perryman site. We also filed a cornpctitise bidding plan for purchasing future generating capatity to ftdfill a pan of our COMMON STOCK MARKET PRICE AND BOOK VALUE longer-trim needs. Cost Containment At the begimung of 1992, we believed it was necessary to impicment several cowontainment measures ha ause of flat icsenue proiutium. After ctaluating all wst-coning opponunitics, the y < ompany did not grani a gencral wage int rew, cliininated ovenime pay for most salaried employees, and offried a one-time, volumary early ictirement program auepied by 335 cmplovces. These auions reduced 1992 operating expenses by apprmimatcly 520 million. Our employce mmplemeni was reJuted by about 500 with no layofTs. I I i i D005 TING OUR FINANCIAL STRfNGTH The wmpany completed tuo public unsk o& rings m 1992, which intaled 15 million new se a*mnlon *.barcs. 'I'hc 5% tics raised $3}0 nullion to belp rnect capital retjuirentcrits and for otlict general urihty pmposes. These sm(L issues improved the utility companfs equity ratio to 45 percent in 1992, up from 38 percent in 1991. Over the past year, the utility has refinanced 7
approximately $230 million of debt, resulting in interest savings of 59.5 million over the life of the refunded securities. Constellation Holdings refinanced $400 million in debt m lengthen maturities and take advantage oflower interest rates. During 1992, the utility's construction expenditures were approximately 5367 million, or about 5.8 percent of total utility assets. These construction outlays mainly funded improve-ments to BG&E's existing generating plants and expansion of transmission and distribution UTILITY facihties to new and existing customers. We estimate construction expenditures for 1993 will CONSTRUCTION EXPENDITURES be approximately 5500 mdlion. ~ RATF ADJUSTMENTS l-Ahhough the company has adopted rigorous wst-control measures, a rate increase has been B f requested in order to achieve a return on equiry closer to the authorized level of 12.87 percent. l g } BG&E filed with the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) for its first base-rate increase e in nearly two and a half years on September 25,1992. The 5169 million increase (8.6 percent t F (i for electric customers and 1.5 percent for gas) would be effective in April 1993. f L L This action is largely due to the wst of improvements and investments in generation, t-h I transmission and distribution facilities, and higher operating costs due to inflation and plant imprmement requirements. Throughout 1992, the PSC has appmved four fuel-rate decreases, saving tustomers approximately 5114 million annually and significantly offsetting the as requested base-rate increase. These fuel-rate reductions are due to efficient operations at our ) plants, especially Brandon Shores and Calvert ClitTs. C O N S E R VlN G OUR RESOURCES l$ SMART BUSINESS All of BGNE's customcrs and sharehoklers benefit from conservation and wise management of our energs resources. Conserve 2000 is BG&E's comprehensise demand-side management (Dul) program. h includes traditional wnservation initiatives, encouraging energv efliciency, as well as load management aimed at reducine peak electricity demand. Both programs help 1992 0PERATING EXPENSES BGNE supply energ at more competitive rates by allowing our wmpany to defer building a major generating plant. BG&E shareholders also benefit. Effective July 1,1992, the Public Service Commission authoriwd recovery of costs associated with BG&Es wnservation efforts, /jl y pp5 including lost revenues, through the wnservation surcharge added to electric rates. V During the 1992 summer peak period, Conserve 2000 pmgrams reduced electric demand k [ :, ' [ by mer 350 megawatts. enough power capacity to supply more than 87,000 homes. By the year p, % p% 2000, demand-side management is expected to reduce by approximately 16 percent the peak electric load that would have occurred in the absence of the program. Between 1992 and the year 2000, DSM programs are projected to cut in half the peal-load gmwth fin electricity. E! - Et, N HEIGHTENED INTEREST IN NATURAL GAS H Clean Air Act requirements, which mandate a phase-in of ahernative fuels for flects of 10 or more vehicles beginning in 1998, offer us an unparalleled opportunity to increase sales of natural gas while improving air quality.

NEW lDEAS F0R A NEW TIME -[ company's commitment to quality can be symbolized in many ways. . /# At our C. P. Crane power plant, that symixil comes in the form of a 3f g~ giant "Q" carmi in the industrial carpeting underfbot in the plant's [ conuol mom. When asktd "What's that ihr?" a chorus responds: b "Qualityr i The operators on this shift iake that "Q' seriously. 'M /* i l The shift is made up of 10 operators: Chuck Kranu, Charlic 1 1 otke, $ics c Landau, Niike l undsgaard, Patrick Pfarr, Dave M4 q t Pennington. Al liocks, Many Pokrpvka, Ken Brruchahki, and Itick i liransby. As a team, they believe they have something special. They have "The Firc." i "And we want to see it spread to the test of the company," savs shift supervisor, Charlic lake. lt all began when ihn had Quahty Work Group training in the fall of '92 as pan of Fossil Energis improvement program. "We all took it to hean," sap Itick. "We feh there was a need for change." Along with the 13 other work groups at the Crane plant, this shift took the opponunity pnnided by the training to improse teamwork. conununication quality, pride, and personal responsibility. "We knew we needed to improve, and we started discussing what we could do as a shift," says Mike. Par agrees: "You can get in a rut where you do everything the same wav all the 1 time. But we took thanses and said,1.ct's try this and see what happens.~ They found out u hat could happen with a little innovation and extra etTon. One night, for example, the plant wukin't produce full power because burning icst toal caused the fly ash collec-tion hags to Jog. Ily ash is a by-product of coal-burning plants. Steve asked the shift who would be willing to do some extra work, manually shaking the fly ash out of the bags. h wasn't an easy job. h was uncomfortable, gritty. diny bull work. "But escrybody on the shift was wilbng to do whatever in took to get the job Jone," says Steve. *The resuhs wne wonh it. Wahout ovenime expense, we gave ihe load dispatcher w har he wanted: ftdl load the next day." This is just one example of the resuhs obtained by this shift as well as others at Crane and our other plants. The teamwork has paid otT: In 1992, Unit 2 set records for the longesi run and highest electrical generation since nturning to coal-fhing in the early '80s. "The load dispatcher is our customer," have points out. "If the electricity is not available when he needs it, he has to go elsewhere to get it. We do w hat we have to to get it out on the Unc." Steve Parks, managet of 1:ossil Operations, is understandably proud of the operators. "The work on this shiti at Crane represents many of the resuhs from the division's quality improvement process," he sap. "They've taken initiathe and had excellent results. They sci a great example for l C - ,.h. the rest of our division." And !kiLk sums it up: "We love our jobs. Not all of us love shift work, but we can tolerate it eg a lot more because we really do love our jobs. These people are great to work with." V V V I 10 l

"I can make my decisions and take personal repinsibility fbr them, knowing they are justified by our corporate values." Greg's osprev nest ulocation project is one example of the 1.ind of creative thinking OPIP r entourages. What staned as an isolated nest on a utility pole has expanded to a project that will help the bhds, kerjuustomers in servitc prevent untly fires and damage anJ save the company money. Yp The project began in June '91, when an employee spied a our-foot diameter esprev nest on '[! some cicetrical feedcr lines in eastern llahimore County. The pt tential fbr fire was great, so the nest had to go. With a pennit, the law allows (br destruction of empty osprey nests, but Greg thought it would be a bctter iJea to move it. The osprey pmica was ourn. Ile nmved the nest to a ~ 4 specially designed extension on the mility pole. The bird family returned a few hours later and raised three young in their new home that summer. Sin <c that first nest relocation Greg has fbunJ nine rnore osprey nests on BGNE property.

But Greg's vision, along with the enthusiastic help of many other depanrnents and >:/ S 4 the backing of management, turned it into something more. Tluough publicity, he encourages employees as well as customers to report nest sightings on BG&l. property. "As the Chesapeake " J :/ c c, l'< 1/ n // : Bay gets heahhier, we're going to have more osprey and they're going to continue to nest on our r structures.

However, internally generated funds without retained earnings are well in excess of the maximum possible retrospective premiums. (2) Depreciation accruals are based on composite straight line rates of 3.26% for electric property other than nuclear and Brandon Shores Power Plant, 2.80% for nuclear property, 2.75% for'Brandon Shores, 3.12% for gas, and 4.02% for common utility property, other than vehicles. Vehicles are i depreciated based on their estimated useful lives. ~i (3) Estimates cf Federal income taxes and other tax expense are based upon 5 existing tax laws and any known changes thereto. (4) Accounting policies are consistent with those in effect June 30, 1993. f f L ? 6 t k I t t i r I

To insure-that retrospective premiums under the Price Anderson Act would be available during the aforementioned twelve month period without additional funds from external I sources, construction curtailments would affect all construction expenditures.rather than impacting a specific project. l 4 .i -A}}
