ANNUAL REPORT OF GPU GENERATION, INC.
METHODS OF ALLOCATION
Expenses directly attributable to a particular generating station are billed
to the owner(s) of that station in direct proportion to the ownership
percentage in the station. Expenses that can be specifically attributed to a
particular owner are fully allocated to that owner. The expenses attributed to
the five generating stations that are jointly owned between associated and
nonassociated companies (i.e., Keystone, Conemaugh, Homer City, Seneca, and
Yards Creek) are allocated to the owners in direct proportion to their
ownership interest in the station, unless the cost is attributed solely to the
associated companies as a group or the nonassociated companies as a group, in
which case the expenses are allocated only among the station owners in that
group. Expenses attributed to a generating station owned solely by an
associated company are allocated to that associated company.
The allocation of expenses not directly attributable to a particular
generating station are in proportion to the direct expenses attributable to
the station.
