PHI Names Bob Jubic Project Manager for MAPP Power Line

New Manager has Extensive Environmental Experience
WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Pepco Holdings, Inc. today announced the appointment of Bob Jubic, an engineer
with more than 30 years of environmental experience, as the new project manager
for the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway (MAPP), a 150-mile high-voltage transmission
line that will provide a vital second power delivery route for customers on the
Delmarva Peninsula when completed in 2014. The 500-kilovolt line will resolve
regional reliability issues and also provide additional import capacity to the
Washington area and to Charles, Prince George`s and Calvert counties in southern
Maryland.

Currently PHI`s manager of environmental planning, Jubic, 52, has been
instrumental in the planning, licensing and environmental permitting for many of
the company`s transmission lines constructed in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey
and the District of Columbia since he joined the company in 1986. As MAPP
project manager, he succeeds Vincent Maione, whose promotion to President of the
Atlantic City Electric Region was announced earlier this month.

"Bob`s extensive experience and knowledge of the permitting process and
successful track record in working with stakeholders to resolve sensitive
environmental issues makes him the ideal candidate to complete the MAPP
project," said William M. Gausman, PHI Senior Vice President for Asset
Management and Planning.

MAPP will extend from Possum Point in northern Virginia, across Maryland and the
Chesapeake Bay and continue through the Delmarva Peninsula to Indian River near
Millsboro, Del. The line will provide needed backbone transmission to improve
reliability and enable the peninsula to access power from sources west and south
of the bay where numerous renewable power projects are planned. Electric
customers on the peninsula are currently dependent on a single point of
connection for power from the north and a steadily decreasing amount of locally
generated electricity to meet their needs despite population growth and
increasing demand for power.

"As with many of PHI`s past transmission line projects, the successful
completion of MAPP will require the appropriate balance of competing interests,"
Jubic said. "This will require careful consideration of the need to provide
adequate and reliable power supplies, environmental factors, community
interests, regulatory requirements and cost."

Jubic has been part of the MAPP project team since the line was proposed in 2007
and has participated in extensive community outreach. He has earned a bachelor
and Master of Science degree in chemical engineering from Widener University and
a bachelor`s degree in environmental resource management from Pennsylvania State
University. He is also a licensed professional engineer.
