Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

           On April 30, 2003, FirstEnergy Corp. issued a press release that
included an update relating to Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, which is
jointly owned by The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company and The Toledo
Edison Company, wholly owned subsidiaries of FirstEnergy Corp. With respect to
the schedule for Davis-Besse's return to service, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating
Company now expects the plant to be ready for restart in the first half of the
summer, rather than this spring. The revised timeline reflects work associated
with the reactor vessel pressure test, as well as other physical work required
for restart. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will make the final determination
of when the plant can return to service.
