Stark Deputy General Counsel Q767 Fax \\estark 'ii'pepcoholdings.com September 20, Ms. Brinda Westbrook-Sedgwick Commission Secretary Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia 1333 H Street, N.W. 2"d Floor, West Tower Washington, Re: Purchase of Receivables - Formal Case o Dear Ms. Westbrook-Sedgwick: The Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia ("Commission") directed Potomac Electric Power Company ("Pepco" or the "Company") to implement a Purchase of Receivables ("POR'') program in the District of Columbia within nine months from the date of Order No , dated January 18, In accordance with Order No , the Company is scheduled to implement POR as of October 7, Enclosed with this letter are six attachments detailing the Company's implementation. The Company separately met with intended third- party supplies by conference call on September 18, 2013 to discuss the details related to POR implementation. Attachment A to this filing provides additional language added to the Company's Electric Supplier Coordination Tariff, conforming the existing tariff language to allow for the introduction of POR and detailing the components and derivation of the POR Supplier Discount Rates including the proposed Discount Factors. This attachment is provided in clean and redlined versions and includes a new schedule 3. Attachment B to this filing describes the Company's transition plan to implement POR in the District of Columbia.

2 Ms. Brinda Westbrook-Sedgwick Page2 September 20, 2013 Attachments C through Attachment F describe how the Discount Rates are derived using Standard Offer Service ("SOS") data for the period June 2012 through May Attachment C summarizes by customer group the Write-Offs, the Program Development Cost, and the Discount Rates expressed as a percentage of SOS Procurement Revenues. Residential Service Customers arc served under Schedules R, AE, and R-TM, and separately under Riders RAD and RAD-AE. Non-Residential Customers for Small Commercial are served under Schedules GS L V NO, T, SL, TS and TN, and Large Commercial customers under Schedules OS-LV, GS 3A, GT LV, GT 3A, GT 3B and RT. Market Priced Service customers are served under Schedules GSLV-ND, GS-LV, GS 3A, GT LV, GT 3A, T, SL and TS. The Company will calculate the discount rate separately for each of the five Residential classes: Schedules R, AE, RAD, RAD AE and R - TM. Attachment D to this filing shows the detail, by month and by customer type, of the SOS Procurement Revenues, Write-Offs and the Program Development Costs, and each of the components expressed as a percentage of Procurement Revenues. The Company's policy for uncollectibles is to write off delinquent accounts after 120 days. There is a timing difference of about six months between billing the customer and writing off the account as uncollectible. The data used in the POR discount calculation include eight months actual write-offs, June 2012 through January 2013, and four months estimated write-offs, February through May The estimated write-offs are based on the actual write-offs from the prior period. Attachment E provides the detailed calculation for the estimated Program Development and Operation Costs by contractor labor hour and contractor rate per hour. Attachment F also demonstrates the three-year amortization for the Program Development Cost. The Company is proposing to apply a discount rate of % on the receivables associated with Residential customers, schedules R, AE, and R-TM; % on receivables associated with Residential customers, Rider RAD and RAD-AE; % on receivables associated with Small Commercial customers, Schedules GS-LV ND, T, SL, TS and TN, and % on the receivables associated with Large Commercial customers, Schedules GS-LV, OS 3A, GT LV, GT 3A, GT 3B and RT, and finally, % for Market Priced Customers, Schedules GSLV-ND, GS-LV, GS 3A, GT LV, GT 3A, T, SL, AND TS. The Company respectfully requests that the Commission accept these proposed POR Discount Rates with the effective date of October 7, As the Commission is aware from past Company filings in this proceeding, for technical reasons, the Company's billing system is unable to charge late fees related to POR. On September 20, 2012, in Order No the Commission approved for a Risk Component to be included in the Discount Rate. In the same Order the Commission allowed for a Cash Working Capital adjustment. The Commission directed that both components be set to zero and that they may not be changed without the Commission's written authorization. The Risk Factor and the Cash Working Capital component are therefore set to zero.

This rate is set to zero as the Company's current billing system cannot calculate Late Payment Revenue on Third Party Supplier balances. c) The Program Development and Operation Cost will be amortized over three years and earn interest at the Company's most recent authorized distribution system rate of return. d) The Risk and Cash Working Capital ("CWC") Component will be set at zero at this time. e) The initial Discount Rate is derived by adding the Uncollectible Expense Component (a); the Program Development Cost Component (c); and the Risk and CWC Component (d); and subtracting the Late Payment Revenue Component (b). 2) The Reconciliation Component is calculated on the Imbalance separately for residential and non-residential customers. Imbalances are recorded in a balancing segment regulatory asset or regulatory liability and represent the differences between cumulative costs eligible for recovery and discount amounts for purchased receivables. During its disposition, an Imbalance earns interest at the Company's most recent authorized distribution system rate of return. Such rate is adjusted for taxes, when the Imbalance represents an under-collection of costs to the Company. The Reconciliation Component rate is calculated by dividing the Imbalance separately for residential and non-residential customers by the estimated electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for those rate schedules. There will be no rebate/refund mechanism. 3) A separate Interest Factor is derived by dividing any interest earned or owed separately for residential and non-residential customers by the estimated electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for those rate schedules.

25 TRANSITION PLAN FOR PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES (POR) PEPCO - DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ATTACHMENT B In accordance with the Electricity Supplier Coordination Tariff, Pepco will implement the purchase of supplier receivables for consolidated billed customers in October Effective October 7, 2013 Pepco will purchase the cunent Accounts Receivables balance on each account at the appropriate discount rate as approved by the Commission. Suppliers will receive information on the current balance on October 7 1 \ All non-current balances as of the approved effective date will be bi lled by Pepco for ninety (90) days. Any amounts collected as a result of these billings will be submitted to Suppliers. After 90 days, all non-current balances that have not been collected will be retumed to Suppliers for collection. Effective with 810 charges received after October 4, 2013, Pepco will begin purchasing the current balance with each bill. Suppliers will receive the EDI 820 payment transaction and the accompanying ACH payment approximately 21 to 25 days after the bill is issued. Supplier payments are generated based on the due date of the bill and on the timing of the bill due date. Payment tiles are generated twice weekly on average. The EDI 820 payment transaction and accompanying ACH payment will be sent approximately twice per week. Pepco will be implementing a structural change to the 820 as part of the implementation on October 7, Pepco will include the original amount, the discount amount, and the discounted amount (payment amount). Pepco will be implementing an auto-cancel process as part of implementation. When usage is canceled for a period after conversion, Pepco will automatically cancel the associated Supplier charges. If the Supplier subsequently sends an 810 cancel transaction, it will be rejected. When usage is cancelled for a period pr.ior to conversion, Pepco will automatically cancel the Supplier charges for the amount that was paid to the Supplier. Inactive accounts where final usage was sent for more than 60 days prior to conversion and/or all charges were written off before conversion, if Pepco issues cancel/rebills after the effective date for these accounts, the charges will be canceled and money taken back. New rebill invoices will not be accepted. The Suppliers will need to bill the customers directly. These cancels will be set equal to the amount initially paid to the Supplier. Pepco will not accept EDl 810 transactions where the total amount is a credit. Suppliers should no longer send a late payment charge. Pepco will start to send proactive 824 transactions to Suppliers to notify them when bills are released; this will help the Suppliers know when to expect payment based on the bill due date Pagel
