      January 31, 2007,
      FirstEnergy Corp. issued two public announcements, which are attached as
      Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference. FirstEnergy's
      Press
      Release and Letter to the Financial Community contain non-GAAP* financial
      measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, FirstEnergy has provided
      quantitative reconciliations within the Press Release and Letter to the
      Financial Community of the non-GAAP* financial measures to the most directly
      comparable GAAP financial measures. </font></div>

      Press Release
      and Letter to the Financial Community include normalized earnings per share,
      which is not calculated in accordance with GAAP because it excludes the impact
      of "unusual items." Unusual items reflect the impact on earnings of events
      that
      are not routine, may be related to discontinued businesses or may be the
      cumulative effect of an accounting change. Management believes presenting
      normalized earnings calculated in this manner provides useful information to
      investors in evaluating the ongoing results of FirstEnergy's businesses and
      assists investors in comparing the company's operating performance to the
      operating performance of other companies in the energy sector. This non-GAAP
      financial measure is also used by management as a budgetary control that in
      some
      cases may influence resource allocation.&#160; The Letter to the Financial
      Community also includes references to free cash flow and cash generation which
      are not defined under GAAP. Management believes presenting these non-GAAP*
      measures provides useful information to investors in assessing FirstEnergy's
      normalized operating performance from a cash perspective. FirstEnergy&#8217;s
      management frequently references these non-GAAP* financial measures in its
      decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance
      comparisons as well as comparisons to the performance of peer companies.

Item
      2.02
      Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On
      January 31, 2007,
      FirstEnergy Corp. issued two public announcements, which are attached as
      Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference. FirstEnergy's
      Press
      Release and Letter to the Financial Community contain non-GAAP* financial
      measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, FirstEnergy has provided
      quantitative reconciliations within the Press Release and Letter to the
      Financial Community of the non-GAAP* financial measures to the most directly
      comparable GAAP financial measures.
The
      Press Release
      and Letter to the Financial Community include normalized earnings per share,
      which is not calculated in accordance with GAAP because it excludes the impact
      of "unusual items." Unusual items reflect the impact on earnings of events
      that
      are not routine, may be related to discontinued businesses or may be the
      cumulative effect of an accounting change. Management believes presenting
      normalized earnings calculated in this manner provides useful information to
      investors in evaluating the ongoing results of FirstEnergy's businesses and
      assists investors in comparing the company's operating performance to the
      operating performance of other companies in the energy sector. This non-GAAP
      financial measure is also used by management as a budgetary control that in
      some
      cases may influence resource allocation.  The Letter to the Financial
      Community also includes references to free cash flow and cash generation which
      are not defined under GAAP. Management believes presenting these non-GAAP*
      measures provides useful information to investors in assessing FirstEnergy's
      normalized operating performance from a cash perspective. FirstEnergy's
      management frequently references these non-GAAP* financial measures in its
      decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance
      comparisons as well as comparisons to the performance of peer companies.
The
      non-GAAP*
      information presented in the Press Release and Letter to the Financial Community
      should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, their most
      directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Also,
      these non-GAAP* financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled
      measures used by other entities.

Description
99.1
Press
                Release
                issued by FirstEnergy Corp., dated January 31, 2007
99.2
Letter
                to the

                2007
*This
      Form 8-K
      contains non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure
      is
      a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance,
      financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts,
      or
      is subject to adjustment that have the effect of excluding or including amounts,
      that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable
      measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles
      generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

Forward-Looking
      Statements:
This Form 8-K
      includes
forward-looking
      statements based on information currently available to management. Such
      statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. These statements
      typically contain, but are not limited to, the terms "anticipate," "potential,"
"expect," "believe," "estimate" and similar words. Actual results may differ
      materially due to the speed and nature of increased competition and deregulation
      in the electric utility industry, economic or weather conditions affecting
      future sales and margins, changes in markets for energy services, changing
      energy and commodity market prices, replacement power costs being higher than
      anticipated or inadequately hedged, the continued ability of the registrant's
      regulated utilities to collect transition and other charges or to recover
      increased transmission costs, maintenance costs being higher than anticipated,
      legislative and regulatory changes (including revised environmental
      requirements), and the legal and regulatory changes resulting from the
      implementation of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (including, but not limited
      to,
      the repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935), the uncertainty
      of the timing and amounts of the capital expenditures needed to, among other
      things, implement the Air Quality Compliance Plan (including that such amounts
      could be higher than anticipated) or levels of emission reductions related
      to
      the Consent Decree resolving the New Source Review litigation, adverse
      regulatory or legal decisions and outcomes (including, but not limited to,
      the
      revocation of necessary licenses or operating permits, fines or other
      enforcement actions and remedies) of governmental investigations and oversight,
      including by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory
      Commission and the various state public utility commissions as disclosed in
      the
      registrant's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, generally, and
      heightened scrutiny at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in particular, the timing
      and outcome of various proceedings before the Public Utilities Commission of
      Ohio (including, but not limited to, the successful resolution of the issues
      remanded to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio by the Ohio Supreme Court
      regarding the Rate Stabilization Plan) and the Pennsylvania Public Utility
      Commission, including the transition rate plan filings for Met-Ed and Penelec,
      the continuing availability and operation of generating units, the ability
      of
      generating units to continue to operate at, or near full capacity, the inability
      to accomplish or realize anticipated benefits from strategic goals (including
      employee workforce initiatives), the anticipated benefits from voluntary pension
      plan contributions, the ability to improve electric commodity margins and to
      experience growth in the distribution business, the ability to access the public
      securities and other capital markets and the cost of such capital, the outcome,
      cost and other effects of present and potential legal and administrative
      proceedings and claims related to the August 14, 2003 regional power
      outage, the successful structuring and completion of a potential sale and
      leaseback transaction for the Bruce Mansfield Unit 1 currently under
      consideration by management, the successful implementation of the newly-approved
      share repurchase program announced January 31, 2007, the risks and other factors
      discussed from time to time in the registrant's Securities and Exchange
      Commission filings, including the registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for
      the year ended December 31, 2005, and other similar factors. The registrant
      expressly disclaims any current intention to update any forward-looking
      statements contained herein as a result of new information, future events,
      or
      otherwise.
