Regulation FD Disclosure.

MARYLAND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT - CASE NO. 8908
STANDARD OFFER SERVICE

On several recent occasions, PHI management indicated that the proposed Maryland Settlement Agreement would provide the Company a Standard Offer Service margin, beginning in July 2004, of approximately the same level as is being provided by the current customer sharing formula in the Generation Procurement Credit. While the gross margins in the proposed settlement range from 4.0 to 6.5 mils, varying by customer class, the net margin expected to be retained by the Company is approximately 2.0 to 2.2 mils or two-thirds of the current margin. Final results will depend on the Maryland Commission's acceptance of the proposed settlement and the level of migration by customer class. The Company plans to propose a similar arrangement in the District of Columbia.
