The Chairman's \\s iNeTeeN eiGsTwsix was e very good veer for Beitimore Gas and Electric and for our Central Maryland service Letter to Our territory. Unemployment in the state remained well below Shareholders the nati n I vm ge with nrength in the commadal and governmental sectors offsetting losses in heavy industry. The good economy and favorable weather combined to produce higher elec-tric sales in a ' customer classes. These factors. combined with a major increase in earnings from our Constellation sub-sidiaries. brought 1986's total Company earnings to a record high of $3.15 per share. an increase of 12.5% over 1985 earn- ~ ings. The Board of Directors voted to increase quarterly com-mon stock dividends to 45 cents per share effective with the July 1.1986 dividend. This represents a lO-cents-pei share anriual increase to the new yearly rate of $1.80 per share. E + BGGE customers continued to beneut in 1986 as well. Our E unit cost for both electricity and natural gas were less than in the previous year, and we fully expect rates t, drop further 4 ~ ' s. in 1987. The immediate savings to our electre customers 8 resulted from a new one-year record for electricity generated t. by our Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant complemented by new high achievement levels from our base load coal-fired o' units. Natural gas costs continued to reflect savings from our successful purchasing policies in both the traditional and spot gas markets. We now believe that natural gas prices have fallen to a level where it is prudent to freeze them for our -i customers by acquiring gas reserves for future use. and we p' k;j g have begun a gas reserve acquisition program to seek out C such opportunities. + Our customers will experience a sub-2 g]% Jf-I stantial decrease in the price of natural gas in 1987. The Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation, our primary pipeline l W ?' supplier. has filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Com-J l j. f L R. L .l mission for lower rates. As Foon as the new rates are approved. we will immediately begin passing on the expected $30 million annual savings to customers. + Fuel cost reductions produce dramatic savings. especially in the short run. but they in no way mitigate the need for the long-term economies that result from greater productivity. Therefore, we diligently maintained our pur-suit of efficiency in all expense area 3. We focused on budgetary practices that encourage productivity in our operating forces and welcomed again a capital market environment which permitted us to further lower our average cost of capital. + Last year we reported that, although utility operations would continue to be at the core of BG6E activities we would need to look elsewhere for sufficient earnings growth to meet the expectations of our share-holders. We have conducted that search under the auspices of our Constellation subsidiaries, and I am pleased to report to you now that the Constellation companies have been both active and successful. Through new seed capital and the reinvestment of Con-stellation earnings. we have been able to increase the amount 2
of equity invested in non-utility activities to $192 million. This invested equity is presently supporting Constellation's assets of $410 million, which produced $25 million, equivalent to 32 cents per share, of our total Company earnings. We are satisfied with this progress and are optimistic about future endeavos. + At the present time, the Conste!!ation subsidiaries are concentrating their efforts in three areas: financial investments, project financings and real estate. Major activities include: investment la the newly-formed Capital Guaranty Corporation, as well as in three small "We have alwaJt 5 power stations in California; the development of Piney Orchard in Maryland: and the construction of The Exchange at Church Street 50Hgbf f0 e,Hpr0y the Station in downtown Orlando. Florida. The Constellation com-Dest at f5GSE* IbeJte panies section on the following pages will outline these and other projects for you in more detail. + The Tax Reform Act of 1986 is hdPe hr0Ifght MS now law. If it is permitted to play out as intended, ths new law will yggtgg gggcggg jg ggg result in significant savings for our customers. It was for this reasc>n that we supported the tax reform movement and were willing to pg5f,OHd We heffgyd accept reasonable reductions in capital recovery provisions to Ih00 WIll IINO NS make the lower tax rates possible. Unfortunately, however, certain members of the new Congress are now suggesting that federal dHe#HdlPHedSHTe deficits necessitate the delay or elimination of the tax rate reduc-IN kb8 LUbNI8.,, p tions. The extraordinary effort needed to achieve tax reform should not be nullified without comparable efforts to control the deficits by reducing expenditures. + Recently there has been increasing attention given to the likelihood of mergers and acquisi-tions in the utility industry. We have followed this topic carefully and are confident that we are in a position to act in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Change is inevitable, and we must be prepared to deal with it. Our past achievements have derived from our commitment to planning and flexibility along with quality and service. We believe these attributes will continue to serve us well in the future, but the root of success is the dedicated effort of good people. We have always sought to employ the best at BGSE: they have brought us much success in the past, and we believe they will bring us an equal measure in the future. M l l Bernard C. Trueschler Chairman of the Board February 12, 1987 3
The President's r, HiS PAST vEAR. i986. was an important one for the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company. We were able to Report on achieve much that we had planned and much that we Opelations had hoped for. Continued growth in our service area and revo,abic weather boosted eiect,,c seics by 7.8s with ei, custome, categories contributing to the increase. This growth combined with warmer-than-normal temperatures, produced a new summer one-hour peak demand of 4.618 MW. just slightly less than we had 7 ' g.c forecasted. Since this new peak was compatible with our fore-Qi casted peak. we remain confident that our construction pro-l gram is proceeding at a proper pace. The 190 MW addition h ,,, l. ~ to the capacity of the Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation z 7( . f was completed in 1986 when the final two units of the five-c ) unit expansion project went into service. The 49 MW up-grading of Unit No. 3 at our H. A. Wagner Power Plant is ~ nearly finished, and the 640 MW Brandon Shores Unit No. 2 4 ' remains targeted for a spring 1992 commercial service date. 1 + The Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant generated 12.8 million 1 MWH of electricity in 1986. equal to 56% of all the electricity used by our customers throughout the year. This record breaking amount of generation was 10% more than produced 1-X ~ f' by Calvert Cliffs in any previcus calendar year. This perform-x ance is especially gratifying since it was achieved during a i'. year when Unit No. I was undergoing its required ten-year in-service inspection in addition to the normal refueling and maintenance requirements. During the in-service inspection. [/.. all essential plant components were examined. and all of the fuel bundles were rereved to allow inspection of the reactor l vessel. Despite the complexity involved. we were able to com-r i plete the ten-year inspection, routine maintenance and refuel-F. l ing in well under the average industry time for such outages. .1 _ Calvert Cliffs Unit No 2 begins a similar ten-year inspection, refueling and maintenance outage in March of this year. This outage will also be significant because it will initiate a cost saving 24-month refueling cycle for this Unit. Calvert Cliffs will have the first pressurized water reactor in the United States to adopt a 24-month cycle. + This change. as with all others at Calvert Cliffs is being undertaken only after exhaustive studies to assure that our highest safety standards will not be breached. We assured Marylanders in the early days of the Calvert Cliffs project that nuclear generation could be safe. clean and economical. We have kept that promise forimore than ten years. and we intend to do whatever is necessary to ensure that we keep it for many decades to come. To that end. BGGE has volunteered to host the first United States nuclear plant evaluation by the international Atomic Energy Agency. The inspection. which will be conducted by the Agency's Operational Safety Review Team, may take place in 1987. We have always advocated the sharing of ideas and experiences as one of the industry s most important ways to enhance sa'ety. In volunteering for this inspection, we hope that other utilities here and abroad will follow our lead so that we may all learn from each other's experiences. + The performance of our fossil generating units was equally notable in 1986. Our base load coal-fired units. 4
i Brandon Shores Unit No. I and H. A. Wagner Unit No. 3. set all-time individual highs. Our system equivalent availability reached its j highest level since 1978. We were able to complement the produc-l tivity of our plants with purchases of coal on the spot market that resulted in significant fuel cost savings for our customers last year. Brandon Shores continued to demonstrate its pivotal role in our system. In addition to setting an equivalent availability record, the plant produced a record burn of approximately 1.4 million tons of coal and a record 3.5 million MWH of net generation. This level of "We assured efficiency allowed Brandon Shores to account for approximately 47% of the energy generated by our fossil department plants last Marylanders in the year. Clearly, our fossil plants benefited as n.uch as our nuclear gggglgg)gggfpgg facility from the mcreased attention accorded them unde our reorganized Fossil and Nuclear Divisions. + Total gas sales for the CalPert Cli[f5 project year remained essentially unchanged from 1985. Weatter-induced N NNI NINONOIO~ sales increases to residential customers were offset by lower sales to certain industrial customers with the ability to take advantage fign con [d be safe, i of the dramatic slump in oil prices. To respond, we are focusing on (leaH and c(OHolHICal. 2 an aggressive Gas Acquisition Program to make natural gas more attractive to our industrial users and to our residential and com-We have kept that mercial customers. Production from ary reserves acquired will be used to supplement gas from our pipeline tariff suppliers and both pr01Hise...,, i long-term and spot-direct purchases. Our goal is to assemble a natural gas " portfolio" of proven reserves and long-term contracts to provide flexibility while assuring our customers competitively priced gas. + 1986 was a year of achievement for cost contain-i ment efforts as well. I am pleased to report we were able to meet six of the seven performance goals we had set for 1986: electric and gas prices billed to our customers actually declined: we decreased employees on roli by 175. or 2%; and we surpassed targets in terms of reducing motor vehide accidents and time lost due to w ark-related accidents and sickness. All of our employees contributed to these achievements. and under our employee incentive program, their performance earned them an award of Company stock equivalent to 1%% of their base pay. + As we i begin 1987, we have set even stricter targets, and we are confident j that innovative ways will be developed to meet them. We will con-l tinue to streamline, upgrade and fine-tune our operations because j we intend to repeat and improve upon the successes of 1986. We j know we can count on the creativity. loyalty and dedication of our people. They are at the heart of our achievements. With their help and your support. we look forward to an exciting future. 1 1 / ,/, - W w i George V. McGowan President February 12, 1987 5 j
Financial earnings-Continues Growin Review Earnings per share of common stock increased to $3.15 in 1986 from $2.80 in i985, an increase of 12.5%.

The m se veAn 1986 was one of extremeiy repia growth for the C. constellation Constellation family of companies. Constellation Holdings contributed s2s million of after-tax earnings, which is COrnpanieS 32 cents per share or 10E to the corporate total. We believe we are well on our way to our 1995 goal to have approximately one-third of total BGGE profits coming from the Constellation companies. + Constellation's near-term strategy is to concentrate O^.: :. on three major areas-financial investments, project financings and real estate. There are numerous opportunities in the marketplace in each of these areas, all of which will enable us to capitalize on corporate strengths. In the longer term, we expect to expand operations principally by joint ventures and acquisitions. FinancialInvestments In order to keep our assets fully deployed while we are searching for attractive longer term investments, we embarked on a program designed to provide a high level of current income while pre-serving our capital base and retaining moderate liquidity of our assets. At year end, we had invested $273 million of assets in investment securities, leveraged leases and limited partnerships. + Constellation Investments has purchased 25.2% of the stock of the newly-formed Capital Guaranty Corporation.

. Real Estate. Constellation's activity in the real estate market has been steadily ' . growing. We finished 1986 with $19 million invested in 17 different - real estate projects, representing over $235 million in total con-struction costs. Our growth has been primarily through joint venture arrangements. In April 1986, we announced our relation- . ship with The KMS Group, Inc. of Columbia, Maryland. A new . company, 20% of which is owned by Constellation Properties, was formed to provide the development, marketing and property management services. + Currently included are two shopping centers in Maryland and one in Delaware. We also have three office building projects in Maryland and an industrialloffice park in Anne Arundel County,- Maryland. By far, the largest project is Piney Orchard near Crofton, Maryland. This 1,500-acre mixed-use project willinclude over 5,000 residential units and a 350-acre industrial area.
