This business operates mainly in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas area and, to a smaller degree, in the PJM and Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator transmission regions in our eastern footprint. Ongoing net income declined $11 million to $14 million in 2011, primarily because of reduced generating unit availability, lower power prices and trading. GAAP net income was $14 million in 2011, down from $25 million in 2010.
