This segment also includes the transmission operations of JCP&L, Met-Ed, Penelec, WP, MP and PE and the regulated electric generation facilities in West Virginia and New Jersey, which MP and JCP&L, respectively, own or contractually control.

The Regulated Independent Transmission segment transmits electricity through transmission lines and its revenues are derived from a formulaic rate, which recovers costs and a return on investment for capital expenditures in connection with TrAIL, PATH and other projects, revenues from providing transmission services to electric energy providers and power marketers, and revenues from operating a portion of the FirstEnergy transmission system.
