Joint Ventures CENG On November 6, 2009, we completed the sale of a 49.99% membership interest in CENG, our nuclear generation and operation business, to EDF. As a result of this transaction, we deconsolidated CENG and began to record our 50.01% investment in CENG under the equity method of accounting. Because the transaction occurred on November 6, 2009, we recorded $4.3 million of equity investment earnings in CENG, which represents our share of earnings from CENG from November 6, 2009 through December 31, 2009, net of the amortization of the basis difference in CENG. The basis difference is the difference between the fair value of our investment in CENG at closing and our share of the underlying equity in CENG, because the underlying assets and liabilities of CENG were retained at their carrying value. See Note 2 for a more detailed discussion.        Summarized balance sheet information for CENG is as follows: <div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 10%;

Such amounts are being capitalized based on UNE's assessment that construction of new nuclear projects is probable. Should that expectation change, previously capitalized costs would be written-off by UNE and we would be required to recognize our proportionate share of such charges. In the event that our portion of any losses incurred by UNE exceed our investment, we will continue to record those losses in earnings unless it is determined that UNE will cease operations and subsequently be dissolved.         We also believe that UNE's construction of new nuclear projects is probable. Should that assessment change, we would be required to evaluate our investment in UNE for potential impairment. Shipping JV In December 2006, we formed a shipping joint venture in which our merchant energy business had a 50% ownership interest. We sold our interest in this joint venture during 2009 for negligible proceeds. Qualifying Facilities and Power Projects Our merchant energy business holds up to a 50% voting interest in 18 operating domestic energy projects that consist of electric generation, fuel processing, or fuel handling facilities. Of these 18 projects, 16 are "qualifying facilities" that receive certain exemptions and pricing under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 based on the facilities' energy source or the use of a cogeneration process. CEP In November 2006, CEP, a limited liability company formed by our merchant energy business, completed an initial public offering. As of December 31, 2006, we owned approximately 54% of CEP and consolidated CEP. During the second quarter of 2007, CEP issued additional equity to the public and our ownership percentage fell below 50%. Therefore, we deconsolidated CEP and began accounting for our investment using the equity method. As of December 31, 2009, we hold a 28.5% voting interest in CEP. Investments Classified as Available-for-Sale We classify the following investments as available-for-sale: <ul> <li style="list-style: none"> <dl compact="compact"> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"></dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">nuclear decommissioning trust funds (through November 6, 2009), and </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"></dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">trust assets securing certain executive benefits. </dd></dl></li></ul>         This means we do not expect to hold these investments to maturity, and we do not consider them trading securities. We record these investments at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.         We show the fair values, gross unrealized gains and losses, and adjusted cost basis for all of our available-for-sale securities in the following tables. We use specific identification to determine cost in computing realized gains and losses. <div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 10%; WIDTH: 80%; PADDING-TOP: 0pt;

Prior to November 6, 2009, the investments in our nuclear decommissioning trust funds were managed by third parties who have independent discretion over the purchases and sales of securities. We recognized impairments for any of these investments for which the fair value declines below our book value. We recognized $62.6 million and $165.0 million in pre-tax impairment losses on our nuclear decommissioning trust investments during 2009 and 2008, respectively.

See Note 1 for estimated impacts of new accounting requirements for VIEs in 2010. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities In 2007, BGE formed RSB BondCo LLC (BondCo), a special purpose bankruptcy-remote limited liability company, to acquire and hold rate stabilization property and to issue and service bonds secured by the rate stabilization property. In June 2007, BondCo purchased rate stabilization property from BGE, including the right to assess, collect, and receive non-bypassable rate stabilization charges payable by all residential electric customers of BGE. These charges are being assessed in order to recover previously incurred power purchase costs that BGE deferred pursuant to Senate Bill 1.         BGE determined that BondCo is a VIE for which it is the primary beneficiary. As a result, BGE, and we, consolidated BondCo.         The BondCo assets are restricted and can only be used to settle the obligations of BondCo. Further, BGE is required to remit all payments it receives from customers for rate stabilization charges to BondCo. During 2009, 2008, and 2007, BGE remitted $85.8 million, $87.2 million, and $38.4 million, respectively, to BondCo.         BGE did not provide any additional financial support to BondCo during 2009. Further, BGE does not have any contractual commitments or obligations to provide additional financial support to BondCo unless additional rate stabilization bonds are issued. The BondCo creditors do not have any recourse to the general credit of BGE in the event the rate stabilization charges are not sufficient to cover the bond principal and interest payments of BondCo.         During the second quarter of 2009, our retail gas customer supply operation formed two new entities and combined them with our existing retail gas customer supply operation into a retail gas entity group for the purpose of entering into a collateralized gas supply agreement with a third party gas supplier. While we own 100% of these entities, we determined that the retail gas entity group is a VIE because there is not sufficient equity to fund the group's activities without the additional credit support we provide in the form of a letter of credit and a parental guarantee. We are the primary beneficiary of the retail gas entity group; accordingly, we consolidate the retail gas entity group as a VIE, including the existing retail gas customer supply operation, which we formerly consolidated as a voting interest entity.         The gas supply arrangement is collateralized as follows: <ul> <li style="list-style: none"> <dl compact="compact"> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"></dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">The assets of the retail gas entity group must be used to settle obligations under the third party gas supply agreement before it can make any distributions to us, </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"></dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">The third party gas supplier has a collateral interest in all of the assets and equity of the retail gas entity group, and </dd> <dt style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: -11pt; FONT-FAMILY: times"></dt> <dd style="FONT-FAMILY: times">We provided a $100 million parental guarantee and a $65 million letter of credit to the third party gas supplier in support of the retail gas entity group. </dd></dl></li></ul>         Other than credit support provided by the parental guarantee and the letter of credit, we do not have any contractual or other obligations to provide additional financial support to the retail gas entity group. The retail gas entity group creditors do not have any recourse to our general credit. Finally, we did not provide any financial support to the retail gas entity group during 2009, other than the equity contributions, parental guarantee and the letter of credit.         We also consolidate a retail power supply VIE for which we became the primary beneficiary in 2008 as a result of a modification to its contractual arrangements that changed the allocation of the economic risks and rewards of the VIE among the variable interest holders. The consolidation of this VIE did not have a material impact on our financial results or financial condition.         The carrying amounts and classification of the above consolidated VIEs' assets and liabilities included in our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2009 are as follows: <div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 10%; WIDTH: 80%; PADDING-TOP: 0pt; POSITION: relative">   <div align="center"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="left"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="right" width="6"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" width="59"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" width="12"></td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="bottom"> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="left">  </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times"> </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="center" colspan="2">(In millions) </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times"> </th></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="bottom"> <th style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: times" align="center" colspan="4"> </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times"> </th></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> Current assets</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">$</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">608.9</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top" bgcolor="white"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> Noncurrent assets</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">67.7</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" colspan="4"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> Total Assets</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">$</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">676.6</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 2.25pt double; FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" colspan="4"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top" bgcolor="white"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> Current liabilities</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right"> $</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right"> 509.9</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> Noncurrent liabilities</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">420.3</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" colspan="4"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top" bgcolor="white"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> Total Liabilities</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">$</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">930.2</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 2.25pt double; FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" colspan="4"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td></tr></table></div> </div>         All of the assets in the table above are restricted for settlement of the VIE obligations and all of the liabilities in the preceding table can only be settled using VIE resources.         During 2010, as part of the 2009 order from the Maryland PSC approving our transaction with EDF, we created RF HoldCo, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary to hold all of the common equity interests in BGE. This subsidiary is not a VIE. However, due to our ownership structure, we will consolidate this subsidiary as a voting interest entity.         BGE and RF HoldCo are separate legal entities and are not liable for the debts of Constellation Energy. Accordingly, creditors of Constellation Energy may not satisfy their debts from the assets of BGE and RF HoldCo except as required by applicable law or regulation. Similarly, Constellation Energy is not liable for the debts of BGE or RF HoldCo. Accordingly, creditors of BGE and RF HoldCo may not satisfy their debts from the assets of Constellation Energy except as required by applicable law or regulation. Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities As of December 31, 2009, we had significant interests in six VIEs for which we were not the primary beneficiary.

In addition, there are no agreements with, or commitments by, third parties that would affect the fair value or risk of our variable interests in these variable interest entities. Power Contract Monetization VIEs In March 2005, our merchant energy business closed a transaction in which we assumed from a counterparty two power sales contracts with previously existing VIEs. The VIEs previously were created by the counterparty to issue debt in order to monetize the value of the original contracts to purchase and sell power. Under the power sales contracts, we sell power to the VIEs which, in turn, sell that power to an electric distribution utility through 2013. In connection with this transaction, a third party acquired the equity of the VIEs and we loaned that party a portion of the purchase price.
