         July 28, 2006
Forward-looking Statements Disclaimer
Certain statements made in this presentation are forward-looking statements and may contain words such as “believes,”
“anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” and other similar words. We also disclose non-historical information that
represents management’s expectations, which are based on numerous assumptions. These statements are not guarantees
of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be materially different
from projected results. These risks include, but are not limited to: the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices
for energy including coal, natural gas, oil, electricity, nuclear fuel, and emissions allowances; the timing and extent of
deregulation of, and competition in, the energy markets, and the rules and regulations adopted on a transitional basis in
those markets; the conditions of the capital markets, interest rates, availability of credit, liquidity and general economic
conditions, as well as Constellation Energy’s and BGE’s ability to maintain their current credit ratings; the ability to attract
and retain customers in our competitive supply activities and to adequately forecast their energy usage; the effectiveness
of Constellation Energy’s and BGE’s risk management policies and procedures and the ability and willingness of our
counterparties to satisfy their financial and other commitments; the liquidity and competitiveness of wholesale markets for
energy commodities; uncertainties associated with estimating natural gas reserves, developing properties and extracting
gas; operational factors affecting the operations of our generating facilities (including nuclear facilities) and BGE’s
transmission and distribution facilities, including catastrophic weather-related damages, unscheduled outages or repairs,
unanticipated changes in fuel costs or availability, unavailability of coal or gas transportation or electric transmission
services, workforce issues, terrorism, liabilities associated with catastrophic events, and other events beyond our control;
the inability of BGE to recover all its costs associated with providing electric residential customers service; the effect of
weather and general economic and business conditions on energy s        upply, demand, and prices; regulatory or legislative
developments that affect deregulation, transmission or distribution rates, demand for energy, or that would increase costs,
including costs related to nuclear power plants, safety, or environmental compliance; the actual outcome of uncertainties
associated with assumptions and estimates using judgment when applying critical accounting policies and preparing
financial statements, including factors that are estimated in applying mark-to-market accounting, such as the ability to
obtain market prices and in the absence of verifiable market prices, the appropriateness of models and model impacts
(including, but not limited to, extreme contractual load obligations, unit availability, forward commodity prices, interest
rates, correlation and volatility factors); changes in accounting principles or practices; losses on the sale or write-down of
assets due to impairment events or changes in management intent with regard to either holding or selling certain assets;
cost and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings that may not be covered by insurance, including
environmental liabilities; and the inability to complete the proposed merger with FPL Group, Inc., to successfully integrate
the businesses of Constellation Energy and FPL Group after the merger or to achieve anticipated synergies. Given these
uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forw ard-looking statements. Please see our periodic reports
filed with the SEC for more information on these factors. These forward-looking statements represent estimates and
assumptions only as of the date of this presentation, and no duty is undertaken to update them to reflect new information,
                                                                                                                                 2
events or circumstances.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Constellation Energy presents adjusted earnings per share (adjusted EPS) in addition to its reported earnings per share in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (reported GAAP EPS). Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial
measure that differs from reported GAAP EPS because it excludes the cumulative effects of changes in accounting
principles, discontinued operations, special items (which we define as significant items that are not related to our ongoing,
underlying business or which distort comparability of results) included in operations, the impact of certain economic, non-
qualifying hedges, and synfuel earnings. Constellation Energy has excluded from adjusted earnings two categories of non-
qualifying hedges: hedges against the Commodities Group New England fuel adjustment clauses and hedges on gas
transportation and storage contracts. The mark-to-market impact of these hedges is significant to reported results, but
economically neutral to the company in that offsetting gains on underlying accrual positions will be recognized in the
future. We present adjusted EPS because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these
items in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We believe such measures provide a picture of our results that is
comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items such as workforce reduction costs or gains and losses on
the sale of a business, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby distorting comparisons
between periods. However, investors should note that these non-GAAP measures involve judgments by management (in
particular, judgments as to what is classified as a special item or an economic, non-qualifying hedge to be excluded from
adjusted earnings). These non-GAAP measures are also used to evaluate management's performance and for compensation
purposes. Constellation Energy also provides its earnings guidance in terms of adjusted EPS. Constellation Energy is unable
to reconcile its guidance to GAAP earnings per share because we do not predict the future impact of special items,
economic, non-qualifying hedges or synfuel earnings due to the difficulty of doing so. The impact of special items,
economic, non-qualifying hedges, or synfuel earnings could be material to our operating results computed in accordance
with GAAP. We note that such information is not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to
GAAP information. A reconciliation of pro-forma information to GAAP information is included either on the slide where the
information appears or on one of the slides in the Non-GAAP Measures section provided at the end of the presentation.
Please see the Summary of Non-GAAP Measures included to find the appropriate GAAP reconciliation and its related
slide(s). These slides are only intended to be reviewed in conjunction with the oral presentation to which they relate.

Proposed Merger Rationale
• Merger creates new FORTUNE 100 company and the U.S. market leader in
  competitive energy markets
• Well-matched, complementary contributions from two strong companies create
  a balanced footprint
              Constellation Energy                                 FPL Group
    –   Highest load serving market share          –   Generation assets in NEPOOL and ERCOT
    –   Leading risk management expertise          –   Strong wind position
    –   Strong nuclear capability                  –   Strong nuclear capability
    –   Focus on cost and operational efficiency   –   Focus on cost and operational efficiency

• Multiple channels of growth, balanced by solid base of stable, growing earnings
  and cash flow
• Combined company will have the strongest balance sheet in the industry
• Remain confident that pre-tax synergies of at least $200 - $250 million per year
  by year 3 retained for shareholders is attainable
• Significant increase in dividend for Constellation’s current shareholders
                                                                                                  9
Merger Update
• Merger approval process continues forward
    –   Merger proxy filed with SEC on June 23, 2006; comments received on July 21, 2006
    –   FERC extended date by which they must issue an order to February 2, 2007
    –   Expect Maryland approval process to be critical path to closing the merger
• Implementation of rate stabilization plan clears one obstacle for Maryland
  PSC to consider merger
    –   Filed new merger application with the Maryland PSC on July 21, 2006 to address
        new statutory standards of Senate Bill 1
    –   PSC scheduled prehearing conference for August 9, 2006, to rule on interveners
        and set a procedural schedule for merger review
    –   Requested a November 2006 decision, but depending on procedural schedule
        published by the PSC, closing could be delayed
• Uncertainty surrounding closing of the merger remains
    –   Integration activity remains on hold until companies have more clarity on timing
        and economics
    –   If risks to closing the merger or economics become unacceptable, Constellation
        Energy and FPL Group could agree to terminate the merger
• Constellation Energy remains committed to the merger with FPL, but not at
  the expense of shareholder value

                                                                                           10

Adjusted EPS Q206 and Q205
We exclude special items and certain economic, non-qualifying fuel adjustment clause and gas transportation hedges because we believe that it is
appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items, in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We have also adjusted earnings to
exclude synfuel results due to the potential volatility and phase-out of the tax credits. We believe such a measure provides a picture of our results that is
comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing and magnitude, thereby
distorting comparisons between periods. However, investors should note that this non-GAAP measures involve judgment by management (in particular,
judgments as to what is or is not classified as a special item). We also use these measures to evaluate performance and for comp ensation purposes.

                 EARNINGS GUIDANCE
                 Constellation Energy is unable to reconcile its earnings guidance excluding special items, Non-qualifying hedges, and Synfuel results to GAAP
                 earnings per share because we do not predict the future impact of special items such as the cumulative effect of changes in accounting
                 principles, the disposition of assets, economic, nonqualifying hedges or synfuel results.                                                                                 39

Adjusted EPS 3Q05
We exclude special items and certain economic, non-qualifying fuel adjustment clause and gas transportation hedges because we believe
that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items, in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We have
also adjusted earnings to exclude synfuel results due to the potential volatility and phase-out of the tax credits. We believe such a
measure provides a picture of our results that is comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items, which may recur
occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing and magnitude, thereby distorting comparisons between periods. However, investors
should note that this non-GAAP measures involve judgment by management (in particular, judgments as to what is or is not classified as a
special item). We also use these measures to evaluate performance and for compensation purposes.

Q206 Merchant Gross Margin and Below Gross Margin
We utilize the non-GAAP financial measure of Gross Margin to highlight the relationship between the costs of and prices for energy in our Merchant Energy
business categories (i.e., Mid-Atlantic Fleet, Plants with PPAs, Wholesale Competitive Supply, NewEnergy, and QFs/Other). We believe this non-GAAP measure
helps investors to better understand the changes in the level of our Merchant Energy operating results for these categories from period to period.

Q205 Merchant Gross Margin and Below Gross Margin
We utilize the non-GAAP financial measure of Gross Margin to highlight the relationship between the costs of and prices for energy in our Merchant Energy
business categories (i.e., Mid-Atlantic Fleet, Plants with PPAs, Wholesale Competitive Supply, NewEnergy, and QFs/Other). We believe this non-GAAP measure
helps investors to better understand the changes in the level of our Merchant Energy operating results for these categories from period to period.

        PROJECTED CASH FLOWS:
       Constellation Energy is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures for Projected 2006 because it does not prepare a
       forecasted statement of cash flows on a GAAP basis.                                                                                           44
Debt to Total Capital
    Debt to Total Capital is a non-GAAP ratio that excludes unamortized discounts and premiums, reduces debt by our cash balance, and
    includes minority interests in equity. In addition, we reflect a 50 percent equity credit for our trust preferred securities, similar to the
    evaluation performed by major credit rating agencies. Management believes this non-GAAP measures provide investors useful information on
    our leverage because it is consistent with the evaluation performed by rating agencies, takes into account minority equity interests in our
    consolidated affiliates and cash available to reduce debt, and facilitates comparability between periods.

constellation energy Q2 2006 Earnings Presentation

  • 1. Constellation Energy Q2 2006 Earnings Presentation July 28, 2006
  • 2. Forward-looking Statements Disclaimer Certain statements made in this presentation are forward-looking statements and may contain words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” and other similar words. We also disclose non-historical information that represents management’s expectations, which are based on numerous assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be materially different from projected results. These risks include, but are not limited to: the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for energy including coal, natural gas, oil, electricity, nuclear fuel, and emissions allowances; the timing and extent of deregulation of, and competition in, the energy markets, and the rules and regulations adopted on a transitional basis in those markets; the conditions of the capital markets, interest rates, availability of credit, liquidity and general economic conditions, as well as Constellation Energy’s and BGE’s ability to maintain their current credit ratings; the ability to attract and retain customers in our competitive supply activities and to adequately forecast their energy usage; the effectiveness of Constellation Energy’s and BGE’s risk management policies and procedures and the ability and willingness of our counterparties to satisfy their financial and other commitments; the liquidity and competitiveness of wholesale markets for energy commodities; uncertainties associated with estimating natural gas reserves, developing properties and extracting gas; operational factors affecting the operations of our generating facilities (including nuclear facilities) and BGE’s transmission and distribution facilities, including catastrophic weather-related damages, unscheduled outages or repairs, unanticipated changes in fuel costs or availability, unavailability of coal or gas transportation or electric transmission services, workforce issues, terrorism, liabilities associated with catastrophic events, and other events beyond our control; the inability of BGE to recover all its costs associated with providing electric residential customers service; the effect of weather and general economic and business conditions on energy s upply, demand, and prices; regulatory or legislative developments that affect deregulation, transmission or distribution rates, demand for energy, or that would increase costs, including costs related to nuclear power plants, safety, or environmental compliance; the actual outcome of uncertainties associated with assumptions and estimates using judgment when applying critical accounting policies and preparing financial statements, including factors that are estimated in applying mark-to-market accounting, such as the ability to obtain market prices and in the absence of verifiable market prices, the appropriateness of models and model impacts (including, but not limited to, extreme contractual load obligations, unit availability, forward commodity prices, interest rates, correlation and volatility factors); changes in accounting principles or practices; losses on the sale or write-down of assets due to impairment events or changes in management intent with regard to either holding or selling certain assets; cost and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings that may not be covered by insurance, including environmental liabilities; and the inability to complete the proposed merger with FPL Group, Inc., to successfully integrate the businesses of Constellation Energy and FPL Group after the merger or to achieve anticipated synergies. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forw ard-looking statements. Please see our periodic reports filed with the SEC for more information on these factors. These forward-looking statements represent estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this presentation, and no duty is undertaken to update them to reflect new information, 2 events or circumstances.
  • 3. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Constellation Energy presents adjusted earnings per share (adjusted EPS) in addition to its reported earnings per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (reported GAAP EPS). Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that differs from reported GAAP EPS because it excludes the cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles, discontinued operations, special items (which we define as significant items that are not related to our ongoing, underlying business or which distort comparability of results) included in operations, the impact of certain economic, non- qualifying hedges, and synfuel earnings. Constellation Energy has excluded from adjusted earnings two categories of non- qualifying hedges: hedges against the Commodities Group New England fuel adjustment clauses and hedges on gas transportation and storage contracts. The mark-to-market impact of these hedges is significant to reported results, but economically neutral to the company in that offsetting gains on underlying accrual positions will be recognized in the future. We present adjusted EPS because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We believe such measures provide a picture of our results that is comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items such as workforce reduction costs or gains and losses on the sale of a business, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby distorting comparisons between periods. However, investors should note that these non-GAAP measures involve judgments by management (in particular, judgments as to what is classified as a special item or an economic, non-qualifying hedge to be excluded from adjusted earnings). These non-GAAP measures are also used to evaluate management's performance and for compensation purposes. Constellation Energy also provides its earnings guidance in terms of adjusted EPS. Constellation Energy is unable to reconcile its guidance to GAAP earnings per share because we do not predict the future impact of special items, economic, non-qualifying hedges or synfuel earnings due to the difficulty of doing so. The impact of special items, economic, non-qualifying hedges, or synfuel earnings could be material to our operating results computed in accordance with GAAP. We note that such information is not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP information. A reconciliation of pro-forma information to GAAP information is included either on the slide where the information appears or on one of the slides in the Non-GAAP Measures section provided at the end of the presentation. Please see the Summary of Non-GAAP Measures included to find the appropriate GAAP reconciliation and its related slide(s). These slides are only intended to be reviewed in conjunction with the oral presentation to which they relate. 3

  • 6. Q2 2006 Operating Highlights • Implemented rate stabilization plan for BGE residential customers • Business leaders and employees focused on delivering results amid political and regulatory activity – Growing wholesale power, gas and coal businesses in line with expectations – Generated strong portfolio management and trading earnings – Leveraging NewEnergy’s scale and national platform to drive higher returns § Realized electric gross margin in Q2 of $3.95 per MWh – Year-to-date, achieved 70% of full-year productivity objective; on track to reach 2006 productivity target of $40 million 6
  • 7. Potential Sale of Gas-fired Merchant Plants • Gas-fired merchant fleet – High Desert (California) – Holland (Illinois) – Rio Nogales (Texas) – Wolf Hills (Virginia) – University Park (Illinois) – Big Sandy (West Virginia) • Generation asset valuations have increased substantially • Gas-fired merchant fleet less strategically connected – Focus on baseload coal and nuclear fleet in the Mid-Atlantic and other competitive markets • Expect proceeds will be applied to pay down debt – Should allow us to be at our target leverage ratios – Free cash flow in 2007 would be available for reinvestment in the business or for stock repurchases • If completed, transaction could close in 2006 and be modestly dilutive in 2007 and accretive in 2008 7
  • 8. Rate Stabilization Plan (Senate Bill 1) • Period 1 (July 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007) - 15% increase in total residential electric rate • Period 2 (June 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007) - Customers either pay full market rate or opt into a rate at an “intermediate level” to be determined by the PSC • Period 3 (After December 31, 2007) - Full market rates • Deferred costs, including carrying costs, may be securitized and recovered through a non-bypassable, usage-based charge over 10 years beginning January 1, 2007 • BGE to provide rate mitigation credits of $38.7 million per year for 10 years starting on January 1, 2007 – Suspend collection residential SOS return ($20 million per year) – Collect and credit back to residential customers nuclear decommissioning revenue ($18.7 million) • Other provisions of Senate Bill 1 – Matter of replacing PSC remains before the Maryland Court of Appeals – Instructed PSC to review stranded costs, property tax on generating assets, electric restructuring and Standard Offer Service 8
  • 9. Proposed Merger Rationale • Merger creates new FORTUNE 100 company and the U.S. market leader in competitive energy markets • Well-matched, complementary contributions from two strong companies create a balanced footprint Constellation Energy FPL Group – Highest load serving market share – Generation assets in NEPOOL and ERCOT – Leading risk management expertise – Strong wind position – Strong nuclear capability – Strong nuclear capability – Focus on cost and operational efficiency – Focus on cost and operational efficiency • Multiple channels of growth, balanced by solid base of stable, growing earnings and cash flow • Combined company will have the strongest balance sheet in the industry • Remain confident that pre-tax synergies of at least $200 - $250 million per year by year 3 retained for shareholders is attainable • Significant increase in dividend for Constellation’s current shareholders 9
  • 10. Merger Update • Merger approval process continues forward – Merger proxy filed with SEC on June 23, 2006; comments received on July 21, 2006 – FERC extended date by which they must issue an order to February 2, 2007 – Expect Maryland approval process to be critical path to closing the merger • Implementation of rate stabilization plan clears one obstacle for Maryland PSC to consider merger – Filed new merger application with the Maryland PSC on July 21, 2006 to address new statutory standards of Senate Bill 1 – PSC scheduled prehearing conference for August 9, 2006, to rule on interveners and set a procedural schedule for merger review – Requested a November 2006 decision, but depending on procedural schedule published by the PSC, closing could be delayed • Uncertainty surrounding closing of the merger remains – Integration activity remains on hold until companies have more clarity on timing and economics – If risks to closing the merger or economics become unacceptable, Constellation Energy and FPL Group could agree to terminate the merger • Constellation Energy remains committed to the merger with FPL, but not at the expense of shareholder value 10

  • 39. Adjusted EPS Q206 and Q205 We exclude special items and certain economic, non-qualifying fuel adjustment clause and gas transportation hedges because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items, in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We have also adjusted earnings to exclude synfuel results due to the potential volatility and phase-out of the tax credits. We believe such a measure provides a picture of our results that is comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing and magnitude, thereby distorting comparisons between periods.
