NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
General
These combined notes accompany and form an integral part of the separate interim consolidated financial statements of each of the two separate registrants: Consolidated Edison, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Con Edison) and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. and its subsidiaries (CECONY). CECONY is a subsidiary of Con Edison and as such its financial condition and results of operations and cash flows, whichthat are presented separately in the CECONY consolidated financial statements, are also consolidated, along with those of Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Clean Energy Businesses) and Con Edison Transmission, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, Con Edison Transmission) in Con Edison’s consolidated financial statements. The term “Utilities” is used in these notes to refer to CECONY and O&R. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T.
As used in these notes, the term “Companies” refers to Con Edison and CECONY and, except as otherwise noted, the information in these combined notes relates to each of the Companies. However, CECONY makes no representation as to information relating to Con Edison or the subsidiaries of Con Edison other than itself.
The separate interim consolidated financial statements of each of the Companies are unaudited but, in the opinion of their respective managements, reflect all adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentationstatement of the results for the interim periods presented. The Companies’ separate interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with their separate audited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Item 8 of their combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and their separate unaudited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Part 1, Item 1 of their combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.2022.

Con Edison has two regulated utility subsidiaries: CECONY and O&R. CECONY provides electric service and gas service in New York City and Westchester County. The company also provides steam service in parts of Manhattan. O&R, along with its regulated utility subsidiary, provides electric service in southeastern New York, (NY), and northern New Jersey, (NJ), and gas service in southeastern New York. Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. has three subsidiaries: Consolidated Edison Development, Inc. (Con Edison Development), a company that develops, owns and operates renewable and energy infrastructure projects; Consolidated Edison Energy, Inc. (Con Edison Energy), a company that provides energy-related products and services to wholesale customers; and Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (Con Edison Solutions), a company that provides energy-related products and services to retail customers.NY. Con Edison Transmission Inc. invests in and seeks to develop electric transmission facilities through its subsidiary, Consolidated Edison Transmission, LLC (CET Electric),projects and investsmanages investments in gas pipeline and storage facilities through its subsidiary Con Edison Gas Pipeline and Storage, LLC (CET Gas).facilities. See “Investments” in Note A.


Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Matters
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of Con Edison and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). For the Utilities, these accounting principles include the accounting rules for regulated operations and the accounting requirements of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the state regulators having jurisdiction.

Investments
Con Edison's investments consist primarily of the investments of Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for under the equity method and the fair value of the Utilities' supplemental retirement income plan and deferred income plan assets.

Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP)
In January 2016, Con Edison Gas Pipeline and Storage, LLC (CET), an indirect subsidiary of Con Edison, acquired a 12.5 percent equity interest in MVP, a company developing a proposed 300-mile gas transmission project (the Project) in West Virginia and Virginia. During 2019, Con Edison exercised its right to limit, and did limit, its cash contributions to the joint venture to approximately $530 million, that reduced CET's interest in MVP to 11.3 percent and 10.2 percent as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 CET's interest in MVP is 9.5 percent and is expected to be reduced to 8.0 percent based on the Project's current cost estimate and CET's previous capping of its cash contributions. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the Project was approximately 94 percent complete.

In December 2021, Virginia and West Virginia issued water quality certification as required under Section 401 of the federal Clean Water Act, a prerequisite to the issuance of permits by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to complete open cut water crossings. In March 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld the certification issued by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and Water Control Board, thereby denying a challenge to the Virginia certificate. In April 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit vacated the certification issued by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. These developments did not impact Con Edison's assessment of the carrying value of its investment in MVP for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
19                             


There is risk that the fair value of Con Edison’s investment in MVP may be further or fully impaired in the future. There are ongoing legal and regulatory matters that must be resolved favorably before the Project can be completed. Assumptions and estimates used to test Con Edison’s investment in MVP for impairment may change if adverse or delayed resolutions to the Project’s pending legal and regulatory challenges were to occur, that could have a material adverse effect on the fair value of Con Edison’s investment in MVP.

Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified within the Companies' Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform with the current period presentation.

Earnings Per Common Share
Con Edison presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of its consolidated income statement. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings available to common shareholders (“Net income”income for common stock” on Con Edison’s consolidated income statement) by the weighted average number of Con Edison common shares outstanding during the period. In the calculation of diluted EPS, weighted average shares outstanding are increased for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive securities were converted to common stock.


Potentially dilutive securities for Con Edison consist of restricted stock units and deferred stock units and stock options for which the average market price of the common shares for the period was greater than the exercise price.estimated vesting price and its common shares that are subject to certain accelerated share repurchase agreements. See Note C.

Reconciliation of Cash, Temporary Cash Investments and Restricted Cash
Cash, temporary cash investments and restricted cash are presented on a combined basis in the Companies’ consolidated statements of cash flows. At March 31, 2023 and 2022, cash, temporary cash investments and restricted cash for Con Edison and CECONY were as follows:
At March 31,
Con EdisonCECONY
(Millions of Dollars)2023202220232022
Cash and temporary cash investments$771$108$36$49
Restricted cash (a)289— 4 
Total cash, temporary cash investments and restricted cash$773$197$36$53
(a)Con Edison's restricted cash for the 2022 period included cash of the Clean Energy Businesses' renewable electric project subsidiaries ($85 million at March 31, 2022) that, under the related project debt agreements, was restricted to being used for normal operating expenditures, debt service, and required reserves until the various maturity dates of the project debt. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S. Con Edison retained one deferred project, Broken Bow II, a 75MW nameplate capacity wind power project located in Nebraska. Con Edison's restricted cash for the 2023 period includes restricted cash of Broken Bow II that was classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2023. See Note T.


Assets Held for Sale
Generally, a long-lived asset or business to be sold is classified as held for sale in the period in which management, with approval from the Board of Directors, commits to a plan to sell, and a sale is expected to be completed within one year. During the first nine months of 2022, Con Edison considered strategic alternatives with respect to the Clean Energy Businesses. As described further in Note S, on October 1, 2022, Con Edison's management received authority to commit to a plan to sell the Clean Energy Businesses and entered into a purchase and sale agreement. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses with the exception of two tax equity interests and one deferred project, Broken Bow II, that was held for sale as of March 31, 2023. See Note S and Note T. Con Edison records assets and liabilities, once held for sale, at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value less cost to sell, and also stops recording depreciation on assets held for sale.

Fair value is the amount at which an asset, liability or business could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties and may be estimated using a number of techniques, or may be observable using quoted market prices. Con Edison used a market approach consisting of the contractual sales price adjusted for estimated working capital and other contractual purchase price adjustments to determine the fair value of the Clean Energy Businesses in October 2022, and subtracted estimated costs to sell from that calculated fair value. The resulting net fair value of the Clean Energy Businesses exceeded the carrying value of the Clean Energy Businesses, and accordingly no impairments were noted.

The sale of the Clean Energy Businesses did not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on Con Edison, and as such, did not qualify for treatment as a discontinued operation.

Note B —– Regulatory Matters
Rate Plans
In March and April of 2023, CECONY and O&R applied for federal grants of $177 million and $125 million, respectively, appropriated under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). In addition, seven states, including NY State, submitted a proposal for a Northeast Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (the Hydrogen Hub) to the U.S. Department of Energy for funding under the IIJA. CECONY is seeking up to $116 million of funding to use carbon-free hydrogen to produce steam at its East River steam generating station as part of the Hydrogen Hub proposal. Federal grants obtained pursuant to the IIJA are expected to be used to reduce customers’ costs for investments in CECONY’s electric and steam systems and O&R's electric system.

In April 2023, the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) approved CECONY’s December 2022 petition seeking cost recovery approval for a proposed clean energy hub in Brooklyn, NY (Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub) at an estimated cost of $810 million, that is in addition to the capital expenditures approved in the CECONY joint proposal discussed below. The Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub has an estimated in-service date of December 2027 and addresses a 2028 reliability need. The Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub provides the flexibility for offshore wind resources to interconnect during construction and after it commences operation.

CECONY - Electric and Gas
In February 2023, CECONY, the New York State Department of Public Service (NYSDPS) and other parties entered into a joint proposal for CECONY electric and gas rate plans for the three-year period January 2023 through December 2025 (Joint Proposal) reflecting a 9.25 percent return on common equity and a common equity ratio of 48 percent. The Joint Proposal is subject to the approval of the NYSPSC. The Joint Proposal provides for electric rate increases of $442 million, $518 million and $382 million, effective January 1, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The Joint Proposal provides for gas rate increases of $217 million, $173 million and $122 million, effective January 1, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The base rate increases will be implemented with increases of $457 million in each of the three rate years for electric and with increases of $187 million in each of the three rate years for gas in order to levelize the customer bill impact. The Joint Proposal provides for total capital expenditures over the three-year rate period of $8,500 million and $3,300 million for electric and gas, respectively. Pursuant to the Joint Proposal, new rates will be effective as of January 1, 2023. CECONY will begin billing customers at the new levelized rate once the Joint Proposal is approved by the NYSPSC. The shortfall in revenues due to the timing of billing to customers will be collected through a surcharge billed through 2024 for electric and through 2025 for gas, including a carrying charge on the outstanding balance. CECONY has reflected the provisions of the Joint Proposal in its financial statements beginning January 1, 2023, that includes the recording of revenues and expenses and making capital investments, based on CECONY's determination that NYSPSC approval is probable later in 2023. The ultimate outcome of this matter, including the impact on the Companies' financial statements, if any, cannot be fully determined until the NYSPSC issues its order on the Joint Proposal.

CECONY - Steam
In November 2022, CECONY filed a request with the NYSPSC for an increase in the rates it charges for steam service rendered in New York, effective November 2023, of $137 million. The filing reflects a return on common equity of 10 percent and a common equity ratio of 50 percent. CECONY requested a new mechanism for decoupling revenues from steam consumption and the continuation of provisions for recovery from customers of the cost of fuel and purchased steam and the reconciliation of actual expenses allocable to the steam business to the amounts for such expenses reflected in steam rates for pension and other postretirement benefits, environmental remediation expenses and uncollectible costs. In addition, CECONY requested full reconciliation of property taxes, municipal infrastructure support costs and long-term debt costs. The filing requested symmetrical reconciliation of inflation for labor and non-labor rates to the extent that the actual inflation rate deviates from what is assumed in the revenue requirement by 50 basis points up or down. The filing included supplemental information regarding steam rate plans for November 2024 through October 2025 and November 2025 through October 2026, which CECONY did not request but would consider through settlement discussions. For purposes of illustration, rate increases of $54 million and $49 million effective November 2024 and 2025, respectively, were calculated based upon an assumed return on common equity of 10 percent and a common equity ratio of 50 percent.

In February 2023, CECONY updated its November 2022 request to the NYSPSC for a steam rate increase effective November 2023. CECONY increased its requested November 2023 rate increase by $4 million to $141 million, increased its illustrated November 2024 rate increase by $1 million to $55 million and increased its illustrated November 2025 rate increase by $4 million to $53 million.

In March 2023, the NYSDPS submitted testimony in the NYSPSC proceeding in which CECONY requested a steam rate increase, effective November 2023. The NYSDPS testimony supports a steam rate increase of $94 million reflecting, among other things, a 9.0 percent return on common equity and a common equity ratio of 48 percent.

The NYSDPS testimony does not support CECONY’s request for a new mechanism for decoupling revenues from steam consumption.


Rockland Electric Company (RECO)
In February 2017, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) approvedJanuary 2022, RECO filed a stipulation of settlementrequest with FERC for a RECO electric rate plan commencing March 2017. The following table contains a summary of the electric rate plan.

(b)In January 2016, the NJBPU approved RECO’s plan to spend $15.7 million in capital over three years to harden its electric system against storms, the costs of which RECO, beginning in 2017, is collecting through a customer surcharge.

In September 2017, RECO, the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities entered into a settlement agreement, which is subject to FERC approval, that increases RECO's annual transmission revenue requirement from $11.8$16.9 million to $17.7 million, effective April 2017.$20.4 million. The revenue requirement reflects a return on common equity of 10.011.04 percent and a common equity ratio of 47 percent.



COVID-19 Regulatory Matters
Governors, public utility commissions and other regulatory agencies in the states in which the Utilities operate have issued orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic that impact the Utilities as described below.

NY Regulation
In March 2020, a former New York State governor declared a State Disaster Emergency for the State of NY due to the COVID-19 pandemic and signed the "New York State on PAUSE" executive order that temporarily closed all non-essential businesses statewide. The former governor then lifted these closures over time and ended the emergency declaration in June 2021. As a result of the emergency declaration, and due to economic conditions, the NYSPSC and the Utilities have worked to mitigate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Utilities, their customers and other stakeholders.

In March 2020, the Utilities began suspending service disconnections, certain collection notices, final bill collection agency activity, new late payment charges and certain other fees for all customers. The Utilities also began providing payment extensions for all customers that were scheduled to be disconnected prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2020, the state of NY enacted a law prohibiting NY utilities, including CECONY and O&R, from disconnecting residential customers, and starting in May 2021 small business customers, during the COVID-19 state of emergency, that ended in June 2021. In addition, such prohibitions were in effect until December 21, 2021 for residential and small business customers who experienced a change in financial circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In November 2021, the NYSPSC issued an order establishing a surcharge recovery mechanism for CECONY to collect, commencing December 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022, $43 million and $7 million for electric and gas, respectively, of late payment charges and fees that were not billed for the year ended December 31, 2020. The company recorded such amounts as revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, as permitted under the accounting rules for regulated utilities, and also accrued such amounts as a current asset at December 31, 2021. Pursuant to the November 2021 order, the company also established a recovery mechanism for CECONY to collect, commencing January 2023 through December 2023, $19 million and $4 million for electric and gas, respectively, of late payment charges and fees that were not billed for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the company recorded such amounts as revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, as permitted under the accounting rules for regulated utilities, and also accrued such amounts as a current asset at December 31, 2021. In addition, pursuant to the November 2021 order, CECONY established a reserve of $7 million toward addressing customer arrearages for the year ended December 31, 2021 that, pursuant to the June 2022 NYSPSC Phase 1 Order (as discussed below), was used to fund a portion of the COVID-19 arrears assistance program for low-income customers.The November 2021 order also established a surcharge or surcredit mechanism for any late payment charges and fee deferrals, subject to offsetting related savings resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, for 2022 starting in January 2024 over a twelve-month period. CECONY resumed late payment charges for commercial and residential customers who had not experienced a change in financial circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic on September 3, 2021 and October 1, 2021, respectively.
The Utilities’ NY rate plans allow them to defer costs resulting from a change in legislation, regulation and related actions that have taken effect during the term of the rate plans once the costs exceed a specified threshold. In addition, O&R’s current rate plans and CECONY’s Joint Proposal have deferral provisions related to uncollectible expenses. The total reserve increases to the allowance for uncollectible accounts from January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2023 reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for CECONY electric and gas operations and O&R electric and gas operations were $172 million and $2 million, respectively. The Utilities’ NY rate plans and CECONY's Joint Proposal also provide for an allowance for write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances. The above amounts were increased by the amount that the actual write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances were above the allowance reflected in rates which differences were $19 million and $1 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively, from March 1, 2020 through March 31, 2023.

23                             

In June 2020, the NYSPSC directed CECONY to implement a summer cooling credit program to help mitigate the cost of staying home and operating air conditioning for health-vulnerable low-income customers due to the limited availability of public cooling facilities as a result of the COVID-19 social distancing measures. The $63.4 million cost of the program is being recovered over a five-year period that began January 2021.

In April 2021, NY passed a law that created a program that allows eligible residential renters in NY who require assistance with rent and utility bills to have up to twelve months of electric and gas utility bill arrears forgiven, provided that such arrears were accrued on or after March 13, 2020. The program is administered by the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) in coordination with the NYSDPS (the OTDA Program). Under the OTDA Program, CECONY and O&R qualify for a refundable tax credit for NY gross-receipts tax equal to the amount of arrears waived by the Utilities in the year that the arrears are waived and certified by the NYSPSC. OTDA may also use the program funds to provide additional Home Energy Assistance Program payments to the Utilities on behalf of low-income customers.

In April 2022, NY approved the 2022-2023 state budget, that included $250 million for addressing statewide residential utility customers' arrears balances accrued from March 7, 2020 through March 1, 2022. In June 2022, the NYSPSC issued an order implementing a COVID-19 arrears assistance program that provides credits towards reducing the arrears balances of low-income electric and gas customers of CECONY and O&R (Phase 1 Order). Pursuant to the Phase 1 Order, CECONY and O&R agreed not to seek recovery of incremental financing costs incurred associated with low-income customers' arrears from March 2020 through March 2022 of $11 million, most of which is attributable to CECONY, in addition to the $7 million reserve established by CECONY for the year ended December 31, 2021, pursuant to the November 2021 order, described above.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, CECONY and O&R issued total credits of $359.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively, towards reducing customers’ accounts receivable balances. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the total credits for CECONY were comprised of: $164.5 million pursuant to the NY funding; $108.4 million pursuant to the Phase 1 Order, that will be recovered over a four-year period via a surcharge mechanism that began September 1, 2022; the $7 million reserve for CECONY described above; and $80.0 million in qualified tax credits and payments pursuant to the OTDA Program described above. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the total credits for O&R were comprised of: $1.6 million pursuant to the NY funding; $3.2 million pursuant to the Phase 1 Order, that will be recovered over a one-year period via a surcharge mechanism that began September 1, 2022; and $1.3 million in qualified tax credits and payments pursuant to the OTDA Program described above.

In January 2023, the NYSPSC issued an order implementing a COVID-19 arrears assistance program that provides credits towards reducing the arrears balances of residential and small commercial electric and gas customers of CECONY and O&R (Phase 2 Order). The Phase 2 Order authorizes a surcharge mechanism for recovery of the eligible credit amounts over a ten-year period commencing after credits are issued for CECONY and over a one-year period commencing after credits are issued for O&R. Pursuant to the Phase 2 Order, CECONY and O&R agreed not to seek recovery of incremental financing costs incurred associated with arrears from March 2020 through December 2022 estimated to be $46 million, most of which is attributable to CECONY. To facilitate implementation, CECONY and O&R agreed to suspend residential terminations for non-payment through March 1, 2023 or 30 days after credits have been applied, whichever is later.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, CECONY and O&R issued total credits of $343.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, towards reducing customers' account receivable balances. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the total credits for CECONY were comprised of: $13.2 million pursuant to the Phase 1 Order, $327.6 million pursuant to the Phase 2 Order, and $2.8 million in qualified tax credits and payments pursuant to the OTDA Program. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the total credits for O&R were comprised of: $0.1 million pursuant to the Phase 1 Order, $2.1 million pursuant to the Phase 2 Order, and an immaterial amount in qualified tax credits and payments pursuant to the OTDA Program.

The Utilities’ rate plans have revenue decoupling mechanisms in their NY electric and gas businesses that largely reconcile actual energy delivery revenues to the authorized delivery revenues approved by the NYSPSC per month and reconcile the deferred balances semi-annually under CECONY's electric rate plan (January through June and July through December, respectively) and annually under CECONY's gas rate plan and O&R's NY electric and gas rate plans (January through December). Differences are accrued with interest each month for CECONY's and O&R's NY electric customers and after the annual deferral period ends for CECONY's and O&R's NY gas customers for refund to, or recovery from customers, as applicable. Generally, the refund to or recovery from customers begins August and February of each year over an ensuing six-month period for CECONY's electric customers and February of each year over an ensuing twelve-month period for CECONY's gas and O&R's NY electric and gas customers.

NJ Regulation
In March 2020, NJ Governor Murphy declared a Public Health Emergency and State of Emergency for the State of NJ. In June 2021, the Governor ended the emergency declaration. As a result of the emergency declaration, and due to economic conditions, the NJBPU and RECO have worked to mitigate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on RECO, its customers and other stakeholders. In March 2020, RECO began suspending late payment charges, terminations for non-payment, and no access fees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The suspension of these fees continued through July 31, 2021 and were not material.

In July 2020, the NJBPU authorized RECO and other NJ utilities to create a COVID-19-related regulatory asset by deferring prudently incurred incremental costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic beginning on March 9, 2020, and extended such deferrals through December 31, 2022. In March 2023, RECO filed a petition with the NJBPU seeking to defer its net incremental COVID-19 related costs as a regulatory asset of $0.3 million for consideration in RECO's next base rate case.

Gas Safety
In April 2020, the NYSPSC issued an order that extended the deadlines to complete certain gas inspections by all NY gas utilities, including CECONY and O&R, from April 1, 2020 to August 1, 2020. The deadlines were subsequently extended to September 2, 2020 and June 1, 2022. CECONY and O&R have taken all reasonable measures to complete such inspections. As of June 1, 2022, O&R completed all of its required inspections. At June 1, 2022, CECONY substantially completed its required inspections and continues to make progress on completing such required inspections. CECONY is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss, if any, related to this matter. At March 31, 2023, CECONY had not accrued a liability related to this matter.

Other Regulatory Matters
On August 16, 2017,CECONY and O&R are in the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC)process of replacing their separate existing customer billing and information systems with a single new customer billing and information system. In April 2023, CECONY filed a petition with the NYSPSC for permission to capitalize incremental costs (estimated at $75 million) for the new system above a $421 million limit on capital expenditures included in CECONY’s 2020 – 2022 electric and gas rate plans, subject to NYSPSC review. O&R's 2022 - 2024 electric and gas rate plans do not include a limit on capitalization of new system costs.

In January 2018, the NYSPSC issued an order in its proceeding investigating an April 21, 2017 Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) subway power outage. The order indicated that the investigation determined that the outage was caused byinitiating a failure of CECONY’s electricity supply to a subway station, which led to a lossfocused operations audit of the subway signals, and that oneUtilities’ financial accounting for income taxes. The audit is investigating the Utilities’ inadvertent understatement of a portion, the secondary services to the MTA facility had been improperly rerouted andamount of which may be material, of their calculation of total federal income tax expense for ratemaking purposes. The understatement was not properly documented by the company. The order also indicated that the loss of power to the subway station affected multiple subway lines and caused widespread delays across the subway system. Pursuant to the order, the company is required to take certain actions, including performing inspections of electrical equipment that serves the MTA system, analyzing power supply and power quality events affecting the MTA’s signaling services, providing new monitoring and other equipment and filing monthly reports with the NYSPSC on all of the company's activities related to the MTA system. In July 2017,calculation of plant retirement-related cost of removal. As a result of such understatement, the ChairmanUtilities accumulated significant income tax regulatory assets that were not reflected in O&R’s rate plans prior to 2014, CECONY’s electric and gas rate plans prior to 2015 and 2016, respectively, and is currently not reflected in CECONY’s steam rate plan but a prospective correction was proposed in CECONY's November 2022 steam rate filing. This understatement of historical income tax expense materially reduced the amount of revenue collected from the Utilities' customers in the past. As part of the NYSPSC notifiedaudit, the companyUtilities plan to pursue a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that the April 21, 2017 subway power outage incident will likely resultis expected to confirm, among other things, that in order to comply with IRS normalization rules, such understatement may not be corrected through a prudence reviewwrite-down of a portion of the reasonablenessregulatory asset and must be corrected through an increase in future years’ revenue requirements. The regulatory asset ($1,138 million and $21 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively, as of CECONY's actionsMarch 31, 2023) and conduct.($1,150 million and $22 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 and which is not earning a return) is netted against the future income tax regulatory liability on the Companies’ consolidated balance sheet. The order did not commence a prudence review or address cost recovery. Under the New York State Administrative Procedure Act, the order could not remain in effect for more than 90 days without further action by the NYSPSC because it was adopted on an emergency basis. At its October 19, 2017 meeting, the NYSPSC approved another order in this proceeding. The NYSPSC has not yet issued this other order. The company isUtilities are unable to estimate the amount or range of itstheir possible costsloss, if any, related to this matter. At March 31, 2023, the Utilities had not accrued a liability related to this matter.

In general, the Utilities receive or are being credited with a return at the Other Customer-Provided Capital rate for regulatory assets that have not been included in rate base, and receive or are being credited with a return at the pre-tax weighted average cost of capital once the asset is included in rate base. Similarly, the Utilities pay to or credit customers with a return at the Other Customer-Provided Capital rate for regulatory liabilities that have not been included in rate base, and pay to or credit customers with a return at the pre-tax weighted average cost of capital once the liability is included in rate base. The Other Customer-Provided Capital rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 5.20 percent and 1.75 percent, respectively.


In general, the Utilities are receiving or being credited with a return on their regulatory assets for which a cash outflow has been made ($2,467 million and $2,304 million for Con Edison, and $2,268 million and $2,097 million for CECONY at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively). Regulatory assets of RECO for which a cash outflow has been made ($22 million and $21 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively) are not receiving or being credited with a return. RECO recovers regulatory assets over a period of up to four years or until they are addressed in its next base rate case in accordance with the rate provisions approved by the NJBPU. Regulatory liabilities are treated in a consistent manner.

Regulatory assets that represent future financial obligations and were deferred in accordance with the Utilities’ rate plans or orders issued by state regulators do not earn a return until such time as a cash outlay has been made. Regulatory liabilities are treated in a consistent manner. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, regulatory assets for Con Edison and CECONY that did not earn a return consisted of the following items:

The recovery periods for regulatory assets for which a cash outflow has not been made and that do not earn a return have not yet been determined, except as noted below, and are expected to be determined pursuant to the Utilities’ future rate plans to be filed or orders issued by the state regulators in connection therewith.
The Utilities recover unrecognized pension and other postretirement costs over 10 years, and the portion of investment gains or losses recognized in expense over 15 years, pursuant to NYSPSC policy.
The deferral for revenue taxes represents the New York State metropolitan transportation business tax surcharge on the cumulative temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities of the Utilities, as well as the difference between taxes collected and paid by the Utilities to fund mass transportation. The Utilities recover the majority of the revenue taxes over the remaining book lives of the electric and gas plant assets, as well as the steam plant assets for CECONY.
The Utilities recover deferred derivative losses – current within one year, and noncurrent generally within three years.

Note G —– Environmental Matters
Superfund Sites
Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or generated in the course of operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present at sites and in facilities and equipment they currently or previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or stored.
The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances for investigation and remediation costs (which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage, replacement, containment and monitoring) and natural resource damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred. The sites at which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under these laws, including their manufactured gas plant sites and any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are referred to herein as “Superfund Sites.”
For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible parties and the Utilities are not managing the site investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the amount the Utilities will need to pay to investigate and, where determinable, discharge their related obligations. For Superfund Sites (including the manufactured gas plant sites) for which one of the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the company’scompany's share of the undiscounted cost to investigate the sites and, for sites that have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate the sites, if remediation is necessary and if a reasonable estimate of such cost can be made. Remediation costs are estimated in light of the information available, applicable remediation standards and experience with similar sites.
The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20162022 were as follows:

Regulatory assets$803$823$690$711Regulatory assets$986$991$902$906

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. However, for some of the sites, the extent and associated cost of the required remediation has not yet been determined. As investigations progress and information pertaining to the required remediation becomes available, the Utilities expect that additional liability may be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. The Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) prudently incurred site investigation and remediation costs.
Environmental remediation costs incurred related to Superfund Sites for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 20162022 were as follows:

Insurance and other third-party recoveries received by Con Edison or CECONY were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Con EdisonMarch 31, 2023 and CECONY received $1 million in insurance recoveries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.2022.
In 2016,2022, Con Edison and CECONY estimated that for their manufactured gas plant sites (including CECONY’s Astoria site), the aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the investigation and remediation of coal tar and/or other environmental contaminants could range up to $2.8 billion$3,140 million and $2.6 billion,$2,990 million, respectively. These estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at all sites, including those that have not yet been fully investigated and additional assumptions about the extent of the contamination and the type and extent of the remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different.
Asbestos Proceedings
Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities and many other defendants, wherein a large number of plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of the Utilities. The suits that have been resolved, whichthat are many, have been resolved without any payment by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining thousands of suits total billions of dollars; however, the Utilities believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, based on the disposition of previous claims. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, Con Edison and CECONY have accrued their estimated aggregate undiscounted potential liabilities for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years as shown in the following table. These estimates were based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Courts have begun, and unless otherwise determined on appeal may continue, to apply different standards for determining liability in asbestos suits than the standard that applied historically. As a result, the Companies currently believe that there is a reasonable possibility of an exposure to loss in excess of the liability accrued for the suits. The Companies are unable to estimate the amount or range of such loss. In addition, certain current and former employees have claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos. CECONY is permitted to defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) costs incurred for its asbestos lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims.
The accrued liability for asbestos suits and workers’ compensation proceedings (including those related to asbestos exposure) and the amounts deferred as regulatory assets or liabilities for the Companies at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20162022 were as follows:

Manhattan Explosion and Fire
On March 12, 2014, two multi-use five-story tall buildings located on Park Avenue between 116th and 117th Streets in Manhattan were destroyed by an explosion and fire. CECONY had delivered gas to the buildings through service lines from a distribution main located below ground on Park Avenue. Eight people died and more than 50 people were injured. Additional buildings were also damaged. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigated. The parties to the investigation included the company,CECONY, the City of New York, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the NYSPSC. In June 2015, the NTSB issued a final report concerning the incident, its probable cause and safety recommendations. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the incident was (1) the failure of a defective fusion joint at a service tee (which joined a plastic service line to a plastic distribution main) installed by the companyCECONY that allowed gas to leak from the distribution main and migrate into a building where it ignited and (2) a breach in a Citycity sewer line that allowed groundwater and soil to flow into the sewer, resulting in a loss of support for the distribution main, whichthat caused it to sag and overstressed the defective fusion joint. The NTSB also made safety recommendations, including recommendations to the companyCECONY that addressed its procedures for the preparation and examination of plastic fusions, training of its staff on conditions for notifications to the City’scity’s Fire Department and extension of its gas main isolation valve installation program. In February 2017, the NYSPSC approved a settlement agreement with the companyCECONY related to the NYSPSC's investigations of the incident and the practices of qualifying persons to perform plastic fusions. Pursuant to the agreement, the company will not recover from customers $126 million of costs it incurred for gas emergency response activities in 2014, 2015 and 2016 in excess of the amounts reflected in its gas rate plan and will provideCECONY provided $27 million of future benefits to customers (for which it has accrued a regulatory liability, see Note B).

The company hasCECONY notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover the company’sCECONY’s costs, in excess of a required retention (the amount of which is not material), to satisfy any liability it may have for damages in connection with the incident. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range ofDuring 2020, CECONY accrued its possible loss for damages related to the incident.

Note J – Income Tax
Con Edison’s income tax expense increased to $243 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Con Edison's effective tax rateMarch 31, 2023 from $153 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 37 percent and 39 percent, respectively. March 31, 2022. The decreaseincrease in Con Edison's effectiveincome tax rateexpense is primarily due to lowerhigher income before income tax expense due to the gain on the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses ($202 million) and an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred state tax assets related to state NOLs ($10 million), offset in part by tax benefits from the recognition of deferred unamortized investment tax credits ($107 million) and changes in state apportionments, net of federal income taxes ($44 million), all related to the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses.

CECONY’s income tax expense increased to $154 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $117 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to

On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses, that was accounted for as a stock sale for GAAP purposes and a deemed sale of assets and liquidation for tax purposes. Con Edison's pretax gain on the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses was $855 million ($791 million, net of tax) for the three months ended September 30, 2016. CECONY's effectiveMarch 31, 2023. The sale included all assets, operations and projects of the Clean Energy Businesses with the exception of tax rateequity interests and a deferred project, that were treated as distributions to Con Edison. See Note S and Note T.

In April 2023, the IRS released Revenue Procedure 2023-15 which provides a safe harbor method of accounting that taxpayers may use to determine whether certain expenditures to maintain, repair, replace, or improve natural gas transmission and distribution property must be capitalized as improvements by the taxpayer or currently deducted for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 38 percent and 37 percent, respectively. The increase in CECONY's effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items and lower research and development credits, offset in part by lower state income taxes.

Con Edison’sfederal income tax expense decreasedpurposes. This revenue procedure also provides procedures for taxpayers to $599 million forobtain automatic consent to change their method of accounting to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $602 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Con Edison's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 37 percent. The effective tax rate remained unchanged as lower state income taxes were offsetsafe harbor method of accounting permitted by a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items.

CECONY’s income tax expense increased to $551 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $491 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. CECONY's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 38 percent and 36 percent, respectively. The increase in CECONY's effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in tax benefits for plant-related flow through items and lower research and development tax credits, offset in part by lower state income taxes.

Con Edison anticipates a federal consolidated net operating loss for 2017, primarily due to bonus depreciation.this revenue procedure. Con Edison expects to carrybackadopt the guidance in 2023, and is evaluating the cumulative impact of the change in accounting method for the Utilities.

In May 2023, New York State passed a portionlaw that extended the increase in the corporate franchise tax rate from 6.5% to 7.25% for another 3-year period, through tax year 2026, for taxpayers with taxable income greater than $5 million. The law also temporarily extended the business capital tax through tax year 2026, not to exceed an annual maximum tax liability of $5 million per taxpayer, with a corporation paying the higher of its 2017 net operating loss to recover $19 millionfranchise or income tax liability during the same period.

Uncertain Tax Positions
At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions for Con Edison was $41$26 million ($219 million for CECONY). During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Con Edison recognized $3 million of income tax expense mostly related to research and development credits on the Clean Energy Businesses. Con Edison reasonably expects to resolve approximately $35 million ($24 million, net of federal taxes) of its uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months including $21approximately $23 million ($15 million, net of various federal taxes),uncertainties due to the expected completion of ongoing tax examinations, of which the entire amount, if recognized, would reduce Con Edison’sEdison's effective tax rate. The amount related to CECONY is approximately $18$6 million, ($13 million, net of federal taxes), including $4 million, which,that, if recognized, would reduce CECONY’s effective tax rate. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would reduce Con Edison’s effective tax rate is $25$26 million, ($18with $9 million net of federal taxes).

(c) On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T.


Clean Energy Businesses' Use of the Percentage-of-Completion Method
Sales and profits on each percentage-of-completion contract were recorded each month based on the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred to the total estimated costs at completion of the contract, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenues recognized in prior periods (the ‘‘cost-to-cost’’ method). The impact of revisions of contract estimates, that may result from contract modifications, performance or other reasons, were recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are made. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S.

(a)Unbilled contract revenue represents accumulated incurred costs and earned profits on contracts (revenue arrangements), that have been recorded as revenue, but have not yet been billed to customers, and which represent contract assets as defined in Topic 606. Substantially all accrued unbilled contract revenue is expected to be collected within one year. Unbilled contract revenue arises from the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition. Unbilled contract revenue from fixed-price type contracts is converted to billed receivables when amounts are invoiced to customers according to contractual billing terms, that generally occur when deliveries or other performance milestones are completed.
(b)Unearned revenue represents a liability for billings to customers in excess of earned revenue, that are contract liabilities as defined in Topic 606.
(c)Additions for unbilled contract revenue and subtractions for unearned revenue represent additional revenue earned. Additions for unearned revenue and subtractions for unbilled contract revenue represent billings. Activity also includes appropriate balance sheet classification for the period. Of the subtractions in 2023, $21 million and $1 million relate to the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses for unbilled contract revenue and unearned revenue, respectively.
(d)Of the subtractions from unearned revenue, $3 million and $4 million were included in the balances as of January 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(e)Following the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses, Con Edison remains entitled to certain unbilled contract revenue for a battery storage project located in Imperial County, California. See Note S.

On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T.


Note L – Current Expected Credit Losses
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
The Utilities’ “Account receivable – customers” balance consists of utility bills due (bills are generally due the month following billing) from customers who have energy delivered, generated, or services provided by the Utilities. The balance also reflects the Utilities’ purchase of receivables from energy service companies to support the retail choice programs.
“Other receivables” balance generally reflects costs billed by the Utilities for goods and services provided to external parties, such as accommodation work for private parties and certain governmental entities, real estate rental and pole attachments.
The Companies develop expected loss estimates using past events data and consider current conditions and future reasonable and supportable forecasts. Changes to the Utilities’ reserve balances that result in write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances above existing rate allowances are not reflected in rates during the term of the current rate plans. For the Utilities’ customer accounts receivable allowance for uncollectible accounts, past events considered include write-offs relative to customer accounts receivable; current conditions include macro-and micro-economic conditions related to trends in the local economy, bankruptcy rates and aged customer accounts receivable balances, among other factors; and forecasts about the future include assumptions related to the level of write-offs and recoveries. Generally, the Utilities write off customer accounts receivable as uncollectible 90 days after the account is turned off for non-payment, or the account is closed during the collection process. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B.
Other receivables allowance for uncollectible accounts is calculated based on a historical average of collections relative to total other receivables, including current receivables. Current macro- and micro-economic conditions are also considered when calculating the current reserve. Probable outcomes of pending litigation, whether favorable or unfavorable to the Companies, are also included in the consideration.
Starting in 2020, the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was also considered in forward-looking projections related to write-off and recovery rates and resulted in increases to the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The allowance for customer uncollectible accounts for Con Edison and CECONY decreased by $78 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023. The decreases primarily resulted from the credits issued pursuant to the New York State COVID-19 arrears assistance programs. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B. The allowance for uncollectible accounts for Con Edison and CECONY increased by $19 million and $20 million, respectively, from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
37                             


Customer accounts receivable and the associated allowance for uncollectible accounts are included in the line “Accounts receivable – customers” on the Companies’ consolidated balance sheets. Other receivables and the associated allowance for uncollectible accounts are included in “Other receivables” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note K —N – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Con Edison’s subsidiaries hedge market price fluctuations associated with physical purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas, steam and, to a lesser extent, refined fuels by using derivative instruments including futures, forwards, basis swaps, options, transmission congestion contracts and financial transmission rights contracts. These are economic hedges, for which the Utilities do not elect hedge accounting. The Companies use economic hedges to manage commodity price risk in accordance with provisions set by state regulators. The volume of hedging activity at the Utilities is dependent upon the forecasted volume of physical commodity supply to meet customer needs, and program costs or benefits are recovered from or credited to full-service customers, respectively. See "Recoverable Energy Costs" in Note A. Derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value (see Note L)O), unless an exception is available under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging. Qualifying derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T.

(a)Derivative instruments and collateral were offset on the consolidated balance sheet as applicable under the accounting rules. The Companies enter into master agreements for their commodity derivatives. These agreements typically provide offset in the event of contract termination. In such case, generally the non-defaulting party’s payable will be offset by the defaulting party’s payable. The non-defaulting party will customarily notify the defaulting party within a specific time period and come to an agreement on the early termination amount.

The Utilities generally recover their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas costs, including hedging gains and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state utility regulators. In accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations, the Utilities record a regulatory asset or regulatory liability to defer recognition of unrealized gains and losses on their electric and gas derivatives. As gains and losses are realized in future periods, they will be recognized as purchased power, gas and fuel costs in the Companies’ consolidated income statements.

The Clean Energy Businesses recordrecorded realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in purchased power, gas purchased for resale and non-utility revenue in the reporting period in which they occur. The Clean Energy Businesses recorded changes in the fair value of their interest rate swaps in other interest expense at the end of each reporting period. Management believes that these derivative instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.prices and interest rates. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T.

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses.Utilities. Credit risk relates to the loss that may result from a counterparty’s nonperformance. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements, collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps. The Companies measure credit risk exposure as the replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative positions plus amounts owed from counterparties for settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized losses where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.
At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, Con Edison and CECONY had $80$66 million and $8$58 million of credit exposure in connection with open energy supply net receivables and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $23$36 million with investment-grade counterparties $23 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties, $19 million with independent system operators and $15 $30 million with commodity exchange brokers. CECONY’s net credit exposure consisted of $7$30 million with commodity exchange brokers and $1$28 million with investment-grade counterparties. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T.
The collateral requirements associated with, and settlement of, derivative transactions are included in net cash flows from operating activities in the Companies’ consolidated statement of cash flows. Most derivative instrument contracts contain provisions that may require a party to provide collateral on its derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative instruments and the party’s credit ratings.
 
The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Companies’ derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position, the collateral posted for such positions and the additional collateral that would have been required to be posted had the lowest applicable credit rating been reduced one level and to below investment grade at September 30, 2017:March 31, 2023:

(a)Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales, are excluded from the table. These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities are no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post $1 million of additional collateral at March 31, 2023. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity.

These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post additional collateral of $11 million at September 30, 2017. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity.
(b)(b)The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position plus amounts owed to counterparties for settled transactions and amounts required by counterparties for minimum financial security. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of any unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.
(c)Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At September 30, 2017, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $13 million.

Interest Rate Swap
In December 2016, the Clean Energy Businesses acquired Coram Wind project which holds an interest rate swap that terminates in June 2024, pursuant to which it pays a fixed-rate of 2.0855 percent and receives a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of this interest rate swap was immaterial asany unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.
(c)Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At March 31, 2023, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of September 30, 2017 and a liability of $1 million as of December 31, 2016 on Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet.$23 million.

Note L —O – Fair Value Measurements
The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on inputs, whichthat refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Companies often make certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. The Companies use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy, whichthat prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The rules require that assets and liabilities be classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and their placement within the fair value
41                             

hierarchy. The Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures as follows:
•Level 1 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. An active market is one in which transactions for assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. This category includes contracts traded on active exchange markets valued using unadjusted prices quoted directly from the exchange.
•Level 2 – Consists of assets or liabilities valued using industry standard models and based on prices, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. The industry standard models consider observable assumptions including time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying commodities, in addition to other economic measures. This category includes contracts traded on active exchanges or in over-the-counter markets priced with industry standard models.
•Level 3 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information and subject to cost benefit constraints. This category includes contracts priced using models that are internally developed and contracts placed in illiquid markets. It also includes contracts that expire after the period of time for which quoted prices are available and internal models are used to determine a significant portion of the value.

(a)The Companies’ policy is to review the fair value hierarchy and recognize transfers into and transfers out of the levels at the end of each reporting period. Con Edison and CECONY had $7 million of commodity derivative liabilities transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 because of availability of observable market data due to the decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond three years as of December 31, 2022 to less than three years as of March 31, 2023. Con Edison and CECONY had an immaterial amount of derivative liabilities and $10 million and $9 million of commodity derivative assets, respectively, transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2022 because of availability of observable market data due to the decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond three years as of September 30, 2022 to less than three years as of December 31, 2022.
(b)Level 2 assets and liabilities include investments held in the deferred compensation plan and/or non-qualified retirement plans, exchange-traded contracts where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1, and certain over-the-counter derivative instruments for electricity, refined products and natural gas.

Note M —P – Variable Interest Entities
Con Edison entersThe accounting rules for consolidation address the consolidation of a variable interest entity (VIE) by a business enterprise that is the primary beneficiary. A VIE is an entity that does not have a sufficient equity investment at risk to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the business enterprise that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and either absorbs a significant amount of the VIE’s losses or has the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.
The Companies enter into arrangements including leases, partnerships and electricity purchase agreements, with various entities. As a result of these arrangements, Con Edison retainsthe Companies retain or may retain a variable interest in these entities.
CECONY
CECONY has an ongoing long-term electricity purchase agreement with Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, LP, a potential variable interest entity (VIE).VIE. In April 2017, CECONY's long-term electricity purchase agreement with Cogen Technologies Linden Venture, LP, another potential VIE, expired. In 2016, requests were2022, a request was made of these counterpartiesthis counterparty for information necessary to determine whether the entity was a VIE and whether CECONY is the primary beneficiary; however, the information was not made available. The payments for these contractsthis contract constitute CECONY’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to the potential VIEs.VIE.

(a) With the exception of Texas Solar 4, Con Edison’s ownership interest is 50 percent and these projects are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. With the exception of Texas Solar 4, Con Edison is not the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the entities are shared equally between Con Edison Development and third parties. Con Edison’s ownership interest in Texas Solar 4 is 80 percent and is consolidated in the financial statements. Con Edison is the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of Texas Solar 4 is held by Con Edison Development.
(b) Represents Con Edison Development’s ownership interest in the project.
(c) For investments accounted for under the equity method, maximum exposure is equal to the carrying value of the investment on the consolidated balance sheet. For consolidated investments, such as Texas Solar 4, maximum exposure is equal to the net assets of the project on the consolidated balance sheet less any applicable noncontrolling interest ($7 million for Texas Solar 4). Con Edison did not provide any financial or other support during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 that was not previously contractually required.


Note N — New Financial Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued a revenue recognition standard that will supersede the revenue recognition requirements within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance under the Codification through Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The purpose of the new guidance is to create a consistent framework for revenue recognition. The guidance clarifies how to measure and recognize revenue arising from customer contracts to depict the transfer of goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive. Amendments were issued subsequently to clarify key areas including principal/agent considerations, performance obligations, licensing, sales taxes, noncash consideration, and contracts. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however, the Companies plan to adopt the new standard for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

Under the new standard, companies may use either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU

2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Companies anticipate using the modified retrospective approach.

The Companies have completed their analyses of the impact of the new standard on the majority of their various revenue streams.

The majority of the Companies’ sales are derived from tariffs to provide electric, gas, and steam service to customers. For such tariffs, the Companies expect that the revenue from contracts with customers under ASU 2014-09 will be equivalent to revenue from electricity, gas, or steam supplied in that period which is consistent with current practice. Consequently, the Companies do not anticipate that the new standard will materially impact the amount and/or timing of such revenues.

Con Edison has also completed its evaluation for the majority of the revenue at the Clean Energy Businesses, including revenue from the sale of energy-related products and services to retail customers, revenue from operating renewable and energy infrastructure projects, and revenue from the sale of renewable energy credits. For such revenues, Con Edison expects that the revenue from contracts with customers under ASU 2014-09 will not be materially different from revenue recorded consistent with current practice. Consequently, Con Edison does not anticipate that the new standard will materially impact the amount and/or timing of such revenues.

The Companies continue to review the potential impacts of the remaining revenue at the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses on the Companies' financial position, results of operations and liquidity as well as the additional disclosures and related controls required under the new standard, and anticipate completing such reviews during the fourth quarter of 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued amendments on financial reporting of leasing transactions through ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)." The amendments require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. For income statement purposes, the pattern of expense recognition will be dependent on whether transactions are designated as operating leases or finance leases. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and provide for certain practical expedients. Based on the existing portfolio of leases at implementation, for leases currently classified as operating leases, the Companies expect to recognize on the statements of financial position right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Companies’ results of operations and liquidity.

In January 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for Business Combinations through ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business and provide guidance on evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In January 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for the subsequent measurement of goodwill through ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The amendments in this update simplify goodwill impairment testing by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test wherein an entity has to compute the implied fair value of goodwill by performing procedures to determine the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In February 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for other income through ASU 2017-05, “Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.” The amendments in this update clarify the scope of assets within Subtopic 610-20 and add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The amendments are effective upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09, and therefore will be effective for reporting

periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for retirement benefits through ASU 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” The amendments in this update modify the presentation of net benefit cost, where the service component must be disaggregated from the other components of net benefit cost and be presented in the same line item as current employee compensation costs. The remaining components of the net benefit cost should be presented outside of income from operations. Additionally, the update allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for debt securities through ASU 2017-08, “Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” The amendments in this update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In May 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for stock compensation through ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” The amendments in this update specify that changes to value, vesting conditions, or classification of an existing share-based payment award require application of modification accounting in Topic 718. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In August 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for derivatives and hedging through ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The amendments in this update provide greater clarification on hedge accounting for risk components, presentation and disclosure of hedging instruments, and overall targeted improvements to simplify hedge accounting. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

CECONY
Electric
CECONY provides electric service to approximately 3.4 million customers in all of New York City (except a part of Queens) and most of Westchester County, an approximately 660 square mile service area with a population of more than nine million.

During the summer of 2017, electric peak demand in CECONY's service area was 12,321 MW (which occurred on July 20, 2017). At design conditions, electric peak demand in the company's service area would have been approximately 13,270 MW in 2017 compared to the company's forecast of 13,470 MW. The company's five-year forecast of average annual growth of the electric peak demand in its service area at design conditions is approximately 0.1 percent for 2018 to 2022 (as compared to approximately 0.2 percent for 2017 to 2021).
Gas
CECONY delivers gas to approximately 1.1 million customers in Manhattan, the Bronx, parts of Queens and most of Westchester County.

In May 2017, the company decreased its five-year forecast of average annual growth of the peak gas demand in its service area at design conditions from approximately 2.3 percent (for 2017 to 2021) to 1.6 percent (for 2018 to 2022). The decrease reflects, among other things, that in rolling the forecast forward a year, another year of oil-to-gas conversions has been completed and fewer opportunities to convert remain.

Steam
CECONY operates the largest steam distribution system in the United States by producing and delivering approximately 19,500 MMlb of steam annually to approximately 1,640 customers in parts of Manhattan.

O&R
Electric
O&R and its utility subsidiary, Rockland Electric Company (RECO) (together referred to herein as O&R) provide electric service to approximately 0.3 million customers in southeastern New York and northern New Jersey, an approximately 1,300 square mile service area.

During the summer of 2017, electric peak demand in O&R's service area was 1,410 MW (which occurred on June 13, 2017). At design conditions, electric peak demand in the company's service area would have been approximately 1,615 MW in 2017 compared to the company's forecast of 1,625 MW. The company’s five-year forecast of average annual growth of the electric peak demand in its service area at design conditions is flat for 2018 to 2022 (as compared to approximately (0.1) percent for 2017 to 2021).

Gas
O&R delivers gas to over 0.1 million customers in southeastern New York.

Clean Energy Businesses

Electric
CECONY’s results of electric operationssuch earnings were not material for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared withMarch 31, 2023. Con Edison is not the 2016 periodprimary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the renewable electric projects is not held by Con Edison.

In June 2021, a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses sold substantially all of its membership interest in the Crane solar project, and retained an equity interest of $11 million in the project that was $0 as follows:

CECONY’s electric salesof March 31, 2023 and deliveriesthat is accounted for as an equity method investment. See Note S. The earnings of the project are determined using the hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) method of accounting, and such earnings were not material for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared withMarch 31, 2023 or 2022. Con Edison is not the 2016primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the renewable electric project is not held by Con Edison.

HLBV Accounting
Con Edison has determined that the use of HLBV accounting is reasonable and appropriate to attribute income and loss to the tax equity investors. Using the HLBV method, the company's earnings from the projects are adjusted to reflect the income or loss allocable to the tax equity investors calculated based on how the project would allocate and distribute its cash if it were to sell all of its assets for their carrying amounts and liquidate at a particular point in time. Under the HLBV method, the company calculates the liquidation value allocable to the tax equity investors at the beginning and end of each period were:based on the contractual liquidation waterfall and adjusts its income for the period to reflect the change in the liquidation value allocable to the tax equity investors.

Note Q – Related Party Transactions
The NYSPSC generally requires that the Utilities and Con Edison’s other subsidiaries be operated as separate entities. The Utilities and the other subsidiaries are required to have separate operating employees and operating officers of the Utilities may not be operating officers of the other subsidiaries. The Utilities may provide administrative and other services to, and receive such services from, Con Edison and its other subsidiaries only pursuant to cost allocation procedures approved by the NYSPSC. Transfers of assets between the Utilities and Con Edison or its other subsidiaries may be made only as approved by the NYSPSC. The debt of the Utilities is to be raised directly by the Utilities and not derived from Con Edison. Without the prior permission of the NYSPSC, the Utilities may not make loans to, guarantee the obligations of, or pledge assets as security for the indebtedness of Con Edison or its other subsidiaries. The NYSPSC limits the dividends that the Utilities may pay Con Edison to not more than 100 percent of their respective income available for dividends calculated on a two–year rolling average basis. Excluded from the calculation of “income available for dividends” are non-cash charges to income resulting from accounting changes or charges to income resulting from significant unanticipated events. The restriction also does not apply to dividends paid in order to transfer to Con Edison proceeds from major transactions, such as asset sales, or to dividends reducing each utility subsidiary’s equity ratio to a level appropriate to its business risk. As a result, substantially all of the net assets of CECONY and O&R ($18,892 million and $1,036 million, respectively), at March 31, 2023, are considered restricted net assets. The NYSPSC may impose additional measures to separate, or “ring fence,” the Utilities from Con Edison and its other subsidiaries.

The costs of administrative and other services provided by CECONY to, and received by it from, Con Edison and its other subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
For the Three Months Ended March 31,
CECONY (a)
(Millions of Dollars)20232022
Cost of services provided$33 $33
Cost of services received$19 $17
(a) On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T.
In addition, CECONY and O&R have joint gas supply arrangements in connection with which CECONY sold to O&R, $33 million and $45 million of natural gas for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These amounts are net of the effect of related hedging transactions.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, CECONY's net receivable (payable) to Con Edison for income taxes was $69 million and $(89) million, respectively.

The Utilities perform work and incur expenses on behalf of NY Transco, a company in which Con Edison Transmission has a 45.7 percent equity interest. The Utilities bill NY Transco for such work and expenses in accordance with established policies. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the amounts billed by the Utilities to NY Transco were $4 million and a $1 million amount, respectively.

CECONY has a 20-year transportation contract with Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP) for 250,000 dekatherms per day of capacity. CET owns an equity interest in MVP. See "Investments - Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP)" in Note A. In October 2017, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Natural Resource Defense Council requested the NYSPSC to prohibit CECONY from recovering costs under its MVP contract unless CECONY can demonstrate that the contract is in the public interest. CECONY advised the NYSPSC that it would respond to the request if the NYSPSC opened a proceeding to consider this request. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, CECONY incurred no costs under the contract.





46                             

FERC has authorized CECONY to lend funds to O&R for a period of not more than 12 months, in an amount not to exceed $250 million, at prevailing market rates. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there were no outstanding loans to O&R.
The Clean Energy Businesses had financial electric supply business.

Other Income (Deductions)
Other income (deductions) decreasedcapacity contracts with CECONY and O&R. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Clean Energy Businesses realized an immaterial gain and $2 million ingain respectively, under these contracts. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared withsale of substantially all of the 2016 period due primarily to earnings from equity investments.

Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased $11 million inassets of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the 2016 period due primarily to increased debt on solar electric production projects.

Income Tax Expense
Income taxes decreased $68 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the 2016 period due primarily to lower income before income tax expense ($54 million), higher renewable energy tax credits ($1 million) and the increase to deferred state income taxes in 2016 asClean Energy Businesses. As a result of the sale, of the retail electric supply business that increased the Clean Energy Businesses’Businesses are no longer recognized as a related party. See Note S and Note T.

Note R – New Financial Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04). In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a benchmark interest rate referenced in a variety of agreements, after 2021. The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ceased publication of U.S. Dollar LIBOR after December 31, 2021 for one-week and two-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR tenors, and expects to cease publishing after June 30, 2023 for all other U.S. Dollar LIBOR tenors. ASU 2020-04 provides entities with optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance through ASU 2021-01 to include all contract modifications and hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, including those that do not directly reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued, and clarify which optional expedients may be applied to them. As the Companies continue to modify contracts that contain references to LIBOR to allow for the use of an alternative rate, they have applied the practical expedient to not assess each change for a contract modification. The guidance can be applied prospectively. The optional relief is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The Companies do not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on their financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In March 2023, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance on accounting for Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) through ASU 2023-02. The amendments would expand the use of the proportional amortization method of income recognition. The Companies do not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on their financial position, results of operations and liquidity.


Note S – Dispositions
During the first nine months of 2022, Con Edison considered strategic alternatives with respect to the Clean Energy Businesses. On October 1, 2022, following the conclusion of such review and to allow for continued focus on the Utilities and their clean energy transition, Con Edison entered into a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which Con Edison agreed to sell the Clean Energy Businesses to RWE Renewables Americas, LLC, a subsidiary of RWE for a total of $6,800 million, subject to closing adjustments. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses to RWE for $3,993 million. The preliminary purchase price at closing was adjusted (i) upward for certain cash and cash equivalents, (ii) downward for certain indebtedness and debt-like items, (iii) downward for certain transaction expenses, (iv) downward to the extent that the net working capital varied from a set target, (v) upward to the extent that capital expenditures incurred prior to the closing of the transaction varied from a set budget, and (vi) downward by the value allocated to Broken Bow II, a project that was not able to be conveyed to RWE upon closing of the transaction. The final purchase price is subject to customary adjustments for timing differences and a final valuation report, among other factors; the process to finalize the purchase price is ongoing. The transaction was completed at arm’s length and RWE was not, and will not be, considered a related party to Con Edison.

47                             

Con Edison's preliminary gain on the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses was $855 million ($791 million, after tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and is subject to true-up for the finalization adjustments described above. The portion of the gain attributable to the non-controlling interest retained in certain tax-equity projects was not material. The sale included all assets, operations and projects of the Clean Energy Businesses with the exception of tax equity interests in three projects, described below, and one deferred project, Broken Bow II, a 75MW nameplate capacity wind power project located in Nebraska. See Note T. Transfer of the project is dependent on one outstanding counterparty consent, and if and when such consent is obtained within two years of the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses, i.e., by February 28, 2025, the project will transfer. RWE Renewables Americas, LLC is operating the facility on behalf of Con Edison pursuant to certain service agreements, for which the fees are not material.

Con Edison retained the Clean Energy Businesses' tax equity investment interest in the Crane solar project and another tax equity investment interest in two solar projects located in Virginia. These tax equity partnerships produce renewable energy tax credits that can be used to reduce Con Edison’s federal income tax in the year in which the projects are placed in service. These tax credits would be subject to recapture, in whole or in part, if the assets were sold within a five-year period beginning on the date on which the assets are placed in service. Con Edison will continue to employ HLBV accounting for its interests in these tax equity partnerships. The combined carrying value of the retained tax equity interests is approximately $20 million.

Con Edison has also retained any post-sale deferred income taxes (federal and state apportionment factorincome taxes, including tax attributes), any valuation allowances associated with the deferred tax assets, all current federal taxes and New York state taxes and the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions. The unamortized deferred investment tax credits of the Clean Energy Businesses were recognized in full upon the completion of the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses.

Concurrent with entering into the purchase and sale agreement, Con Edison incurred costs in the normal course of the sale process. Transaction costs of $48 million ($35 million after-tax) were recorded in 2022, and $11 million ($8 million after-tax) were recorded in the first quarter of 2023. Also, depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $41 million ($28 million after-tax) were not recorded on its cumulative temporary differences ($13 million)the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses in the first quarter of 2023 through the closing of the transaction.

Following the sale, of the Clean Energy Businesses and pursuant to a reimbursement and indemnity agreement with RWE, Con Edison remains responsible for certain potential costs related to a battery storage project located in Imperial County, California. Con Edison's exposure under the agreement could range up to approximately $172 million. As of March 31, 2023, no amounts were recorded as liabilities on Con Edison's consolidated balance sheet related to this agreement. Con Edison is entitled to approximately $61 million of proceeds from this battery storage project, of which $49 million was recorded as unbilled contract revenue as of March 31, 2023. See Note K.

The following table shows the pre-tax operating income for the Clean Energy Businesses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The 2023 period shown is through the date of the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses.

Note T – Assets and Liabilities Held-for-Sale
On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S. The sale included all assets, operations and projects of the Clean Energy Businesses with the exception of tax equity interests in three projects and one deferred project, Broken Bow II, a 75 MW nameplate capacity wind power project located in Nebraska. Transfer of the project from Con Edison to RWE is dependent on one outstanding counterparty consent, and if and when such consent is obtained within two years of the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses, i.e., by February 28, 2025, the project will transfer. RWE Renewables Americas, LLC is operating the facility on behalf of Con Edison pursuant to certain service agreements for which the fees are not material.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This combined management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) relates to the consolidated financial statements (the First Quarter Financial Statements) included in this report of two separate registrants: Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison) and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (CECONY). As used in this report, the term the “Companies” refers to Con Edison and CECONY. CECONY is a subsidiary of Con Edison and, as such, information in this management’s discussion and analysis about CECONY applies to Con Edison.

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the First Quarter Financial Statements and the notes thereto and the
MD&A in Item 7 of the Companies’ combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022
(File Nos.1-14514 and 1-01217, the Form 10-K).


Information in any item of this report referred to in this discussion and analysis is incorporated by reference herein. The use of terms such as “see” or “refer to” shall be deemed to incorporate by reference into this discussion and analysis the information to which reference is made.

Con Edison, incorporated in New York State in 1997, is a holding company that owns all of the outstanding common stock of CECONY, Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) and Con Edison Transmission, Inc. As used in this report, the term the “Utilities” refers to CECONY and O&R.
Con Edison
CECONYO&RCon Edison Transmission
•RECO



Con Edison’s principal business operations are those of CECONY, O&R and Con Edison Transmission. CECONY’s principal business operations are its regulated electric, gas and steam delivery businesses. O&R’s principal business operations are its regulated electric and gas delivery businesses. Con Edison Transmission invests in electric transmission projects and manages both electric and gas assets while seeking to develop electric transmission projects. See "Investments" in Note A to the First Quarter Financial Statements. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison seeks to provide shareholder value through continued dividend growth, supported by earnings growth in regulated utilities and contracted electric and gas assets. The company invests to provide reliable, resilient, safe and clean energy critical for its NY customers. Con Edison is a responsible neighbor, helping the communities it serves become more sustainable.

In addition to the Companies’ material contingencies described in Notes B, G and H to the First Quarter Financial Statements, the Companies’ management considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be important to understanding the Companies’ current and future financial condition.

Clean Energy Goals
The success of the Companies’ efforts to meet federal, state and city clean energy policy goals and the impact of energy consumers' efforts to meet such goals on CECONY’s electric, gas and steam businesses and O&R’s electric and gas businesses may impact the Companies’ future financial condition. The Utilities expect electric demand to increase and gas and steam usage to decrease in their service territories as federal, state and local laws and




50                             

policies are enacted and implemented that aim to reduce the carbon intensity of the energy that is consumed. In particular, the long-term future of the Utilities’ gas businesses depends upon the role that natural gas or other gaseous fuels will play in facilitating New York State’s and New York City’s climate goals. In addition, the impact and costs of climate change on the Utilities’ systems and the success of the Utilities’ efforts to increase system reliability and manage service interruptions resulting from severe weather may impact the Companies’ future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

CECONY Steam Rate Plan
In November 2022, as updated in February 2023, CECONY filed a request with the NYSPSC for a steam rate increase of $141 million, effective November 2023. The filing reflects a return on common equity of 10 percent and a common equity ratio of 50 percent and requests a new mechanism for decoupling revenues from steam consumption. In March 2023, the NYSDPS submitted testimony in the NYSPSC proceeding that supports a steam rate increase of $94 million reflecting, among other things, a 9 percent return on common equity and a common equity ratio of 48 percent. The NYSDPS testimony does not support CECONY’s request for a new mechanism for decoupling revenues from steam consumption. CECONY’s future earnings will depend on the rates authorized in, and the other provisions of, its November 2023 steam rate plan and CECONY’s ability to operate its businesses in a manner consistent with such rate plan. Therefore, the outcome of CECONY’s rate request that requires approval by the NYSPSC will impact the Companies’ future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. See “Utility Regulation – State Utility Regulation – Rate Plans” and “Rate Plans” in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison Transmission
Con Edison Transmission has taken steps to realign its portfolio to focus on electric transmission rather than gas by completing the sale of its 50 percent interest in Stagecoach in 2021. During 2020 and 2021, Con Edison Transmission recorded impairments on its investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP). Any future impairments of Con Edison Transmission’s investment in MVP may impact Con Edison’s future financial condition and results of operations. Con Edison Transmission is pursuing opportunities and participating in competitive solicitations to develop electric transmission projects that will deliver offshore wind energy to high voltage electric grids in NY, through its NY Transco partnership, and in NJ. The success of Con Edison Transmission’s efforts in these competitive solicitations and to grow its electric transmission portfolio may impact Con Edison’s future capital requirements. See “Investments” in Note A to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

CECONY
Electric
CECONY provides electric service to approximately 3.6 million customers in all of New York City (except a part of Queens) and most of Westchester County, an approximately 660 square mile service area with a population of more than nine million.

Gas
CECONY delivers gas to approximately 1.1 million customers in Manhattan, the Bronx, parts of Queens and most of Westchester County.

Steam
CECONY operates the largest steam distribution system in the United States by producing and delivering approximately 16,408 MMlb of steam annually to approximately 1,527 customers in parts of Manhattan.

O&R
Electric
O&R and its utility subsidiary, Rockland Electric Company (RECO) (together referred to herein as O&R) provide electric service to approximately 0.3 million customers in southeastern New York, "NY", and northern New Jersey "NJ", an approximately 1,300 square mile service area.

Gas
O&R delivers gas to over 0.1 million customers in southeastern NY.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in changes in governmental and regulatory policy and contributed to an economic slowdown in the Companies’ service territories. The decline in business activity in
51                             

the Companies’ service territories resulted in a slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances, material increases in customer accounts receivable balances, increases to the allowance for uncollectible accounts, and may result in increases to write-offs and recoveries of customer accounts. The extent to which the Companies’ are able to recover cash for outstanding customer accounts receivable balances and the amount of write-offs of customer accounts, may impact Con Edison’s future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. See “Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts” below and “COVID-19 Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Net income for common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes $791 million (after-tax) for the gain on the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T to the First Quarter Financial Statements.


Inflation Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) was signed into law and included a new 15 percent Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT). Under the Act, a corporation will be subject to the CAMT if its average annual Adjusted Financial Statement Income (AFSI) for the three taxable year period ending prior to the taxable year exceeds $1,000 million, and will apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Based on management’s preliminary calculations, Con Edison and CECONY do not expect to be subject to the CAMT in 2023 and 2024 but are expected to be subject to the CAMT in subsequent years. However, the provisions of the CAMT are not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.


Accounting Considerations
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent New York State on PAUSE and related executive orders (that have since been lifted), decline in business, bankruptcies, layoffs and furloughs, among other factors, both commercial and residential customers have had and may continue to have increased difficulty paying their utility bills. In June 2020, the state of NY enacted a law prohibiting NY utilities, including CECONY and O&R, from disconnecting residential customers, and starting in May 2021 small business customers, during the COVID-19 state of emergency, that ended in June 2021. In addition, such prohibitions were in effect until December 21, 2021 for residential and small business customers who experienced a change in financial circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

CECONY and O&R have existing allowances for uncollectible accounts established against their customer accounts receivable balances that are reevaluated each quarter and updated accordingly. Changes to the Utilities’ reserve balances that result in write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances are not reflected in rates during the term of the current rate plans.





52                             

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, CECONY issued total credits of $343.6 million and O&R issued total credits of $2.2 million towards reducing customers’ accounts receivable balances pursuant to a Phase 2 COVID-19 arrears assistance programs. For the year ended December 31, 2022, CECONY and O&R issued total credits of $359.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively, towards reducing customers’ accounts receivable balances pursuant to COVID-19 arrears assistance programs. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

CECONY’s "accounts receivable – customers" balance (net of allowance for uncollectible accounts) decreased from $2,099 million at December 31, 2022 to $1,939 million at March 31, 2023. O&R’s "accounts receivable – customers" balance (net allowance for uncollectible accounts) increased from $93 million at December 31, 2022 to $101 million at March 31, 2023. The amount of the customer accounts receivable balances that are over 60 days in arrears for CECONY and O&R decreased from $1,308 million and $22 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 to $930 million and $16 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023. CECONY’s and O&R’s allowances for uncollectible customer accounts reserve decreased from $314 million and $8 million at December 31, 2022 to $236 million and $7 million at March 31, 2023 respectively. During the first three months of 2023, the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID-19 arrears assistance programs, were considered in forward-looking projections related to write-off and recovery rates, resulting in changes to the customer allowance for uncollectible accounts as detailed herein.

The Companies test goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever there is a triggering event, and test long-lived and intangible assets for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived or intangible assets may not be recoverable. The Companies identified no triggering events or changes in circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would indicate that the carrying value of goodwill, long-lived or intangible assets may not be recoverable at March 31, 2023.

NY Legislation
In April 2021, NY passed a law that increased the corporate franchise tax rate on business income from 6.5 percent to 7.25 percent, retroactive to January 1, 2021, for taxpayers with taxable income greater than $5 million. The law also reinstated the business capital tax at 0.1875 percent, not to exceed a maximum tax liability of $5 million per taxpayer. NY requires a corporate franchise taxpayer to calculate and pay the highest amount of tax under the three alternative methods: a tax on business income; a tax on business capital; or a fixed dollar minimum. The provisions to increase the corporate franchise tax rate and reinstate a capital tax were scheduled to expire after 2023. In May 2023, NY passed a law that extended the increase in the corporate franchise tax rate from 6.5% to 7.25% for another 3-year period, through tax year 2026 and extended the business capital tax through tax year 2026. NY also passed a law establishing a permanent rate of 30% for the metropolitan transportation business tax surcharge. As a result of the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses in 2023, Con Edison has NY State taxable income in excess of $5 million after using its entire NY state NOL carryforward, and therefore, the group is subject to the higher 7.25 percent rate (9.425 percent with the surcharge rate) on its taxable income for tax year 2023. The Companies are evaluating the impact of these provisions on their financial position, results of operations and liquidity for tax years after 2023.

In addition, the April 2021 law created a program that allows eligible residential renters in NY who require assistance with rent and utility bills to have up to twelve months of electric and gas utility bill arrears forgiven, provided that such arrears were accrued on or after March 13, 2020. The program will be administered by the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) in coordination with the NYSDPS and the NYSPSC (the OTDA Program). Under the OTDA Program, CECONY and O&R would qualify for a refundable tax credit for NY gross-receipts tax equal to the amount of arrears waived by the Utilities in the year that the arrears are waived and certified by the NYSPSC. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Financing
The Companies monitor the financial markets closely, including borrowing rates and daily cash collections. Inflationary pressure and higher interest rates have increased the amount of capital needed by the Utilities and the costs of such capital. See Note C and Note D to the First Quarter Financial Statements and "Interest Rate Risk," below.

The decline in business activity in the Utilities’ service territory due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent New York State on PAUSE and related executive orders (that have since been lifted) resulted in a slower recovery in cash of outstanding customer accounts receivable balances. Increases in electric and gas commodity prices during 2022 also contributed to a slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances. The Utilities use derivative instruments to hedge price fluctuations for the purchase of electricity and gas. Volatility in electric and gas commodity prices that lead to the posting of cash collateral with counterparties could negatively

impact the Utilities’ liquidity. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements and “Financial and Commodity Market Risks – Commodity Price Risk,” below.

In 2022 and 2023, New York State and the NYSPSC implemented COVID-19 arrears assistance programs that provided credits and established surcharge recovery mechanisms towards reducing the arrears balances of low-income electric and gas customers of CECONY and O&R. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B and Note L to the First Quarter Financial Statements and “Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts – Accounting Considerations,” above.

The Utilities’ rate plans have revenue decoupling mechanisms in their NY electric and gas businesses that largely reconcile actual energy delivery revenues to the authorized delivery revenues approved by the NYSPSC per month and reconcile the deferred balances semi-annually under CECONY's electric rate plan (January through June and July through December, respectively) and annually under CECONY's gas rate plan and O&R NY's electric and gas rate plans (January through December). Differences are accrued with interest each month for CECONY's and O&R NY’s electric customers and after the annual deferral period ends for CECONY's and O&R NY’s gas customers for refund to, or recovery from customers, as applicable. Generally, the refund to or recovery from customers begins August and February of each year over an ensuing six-month period for CECONY's electric customers and February of each year over an ensuing twelve-month period for CECONY's gas and O&R NY's electric and gas customers. Effective July 2021, the majority of O&R’s electric distribution revenues in NJ are subject to a conservation incentive program, as a result of which distribution revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Although these revenue decoupling mechanisms are in place, lower billed sales revenues and higher unpaid accounts have reduced and are expected to continue to reduce liquidity at the Utilities.

Con Edison and the Utilities have a $2,500 million revolving credit agreement in place under which banks are committed to provide loans on a revolving credit basis until March 2028, subject to certain conditions. CECONY has a $500 million 364-day revolving credit agreement in place under which banks are committed to provide loans on a revolving credit basis until March 2024, subject to certain conditions. Con Edison and the Utilities have not entered into any loans under the Credit Agreement and CECONY has not entered into any loans under the CECONY Credit Agreement. See Note D to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

(c)    Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $4.05 a share and $1.70 a share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022,
    respectively. In March 2023, Con Edison entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (ASR Contracts) with two dealers to repurchase $1,000 million in aggregate of Con Edison’s Common Shares ($.10 par value) (Common Shares). Pursuant to the ASR Contracts, Con Edison made payments of $1,000 million in aggregate to the dealers and received initial deliveries of 8,730,766 Common Shares in aggregate that were recorded in treasury stock at fair value based on the closing price on March 6, 2023 of $91.63 of $800 million. The remaining $200 million was recorded as additional paid-in-capital, representing the value of the forward contract to purchase additional shares. The final number of Common Shares to be received from the dealers will be based on the volume-weighted average share price of Common Shares during the term of the applicable transaction, less a discount. At settlement, under certain circumstances, the dealers may be required to deliver additional Common Shares to Con Edison or Con Edison may be required either to make a cash payment or deliver Common Shares to the dealers. The final settlement of the transactions under the ASR Contracts is expected to occur no later than the third quarter of 2023. The terms of the accelerated share repurchases under the ASR Contracts are subject to adjustment if Con Edison enters into or announces certain types of transactions or takes certain corporate actions. See Note C to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

(d)    On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note S and Note T to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

a.Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ NY electric and gas rate plans and the weather-normalization clause applicable to their gas businesses, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. In general, the Utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect Con Edison’s results of operations.
b. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities primarily reflect primarily their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is primarily affected primarily by factors external to the Utilities, such as growth of customer demand, weather, market prices for energy and economic conditions. Measures that promote distributed energy resources, such as distributed generation, demand reduction and energy efficiency, also affect the volume of energy sales and deliveries.

The decline in business activity in the Utilities’ service territory from 2020 through 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Utilities' suspension of service disconnections, bill collection activities and certain charges and fees resulted in a slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances, material increases in customer accounts receivable balances, increases to the allowance for uncollectible accounts, and may result in increases to write-offs of customer accounts, as compared to prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New YorkNY electric and gas rate plans, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved may affect the timing of cash flows, but generallylargely not net income. The prices at which the Utilities provide energy to their customers are determined in accordance with their rate plans. During 2022, increases in electric and gas commodity prices further contributed to a slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances, increases to the allowance for uncollectible accounts, and increases to write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances. In general, changes in the Utilities’ cost of purchased power, fuel and gas may affect the timing of cash flows, but not net income, because the costs are recovered in accordance with rate plans. See “Financial and Commodity Market Risks – Commodity Price Risk,” below.


Net income is the result of cash and non-cash (or accrual) transactions. Only cash transactions affect the Companies’ cash flows from operating activities. Principal non-cash charges or credits include depreciation, deferred income tax expense, and amortizations of certain regulatory assets and liabilities.liabilities and accrued unbilled revenue. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling and cost reconciliation mechanisms in the Utilities’ New YorkNY electric and gas rate plans.


Net cash flows from operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 for Con Edison and CECONY were $109$381 million lower and $227$432 million lower, respectively, than in the 20162022 period. The change in net cash flows for Con Edison primarily reflects lower net deferred credits, noncurrent liabilities and CECONY reflects primarilyother regulatory liabilities balances ($566 million), a decrease in accounts payable ($387 million), a decrease in accrued interest ($32 million) and lower recoveries of depreciation and amortization ($30 million), offset in part by a higher cash paid for income taxes in the 2017 period as compared with the 2016 perioddecrease of $110 million and $226 million, respectively,accounts receivable balances from customers net of refunds received. The income tax refund receivedallowance for uncollectible accounts ($374 million) (see “COVID-19 Regulatory Matters” in 2016 reflectedNote B to the extension of bonus depreciationFirst Quarter Financial Statements and “Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts", "Accounting Considerations” and “Liquidity and Financing,” above) and an increase in late 2015, resulting in a refund of the 2015 estimated federal tax payments.

The changeaccrued taxes ($279 million). For CECONY, changes in net cash flows alsoprimarily reflects the timinglower net deferred credits, noncurrent liabilities and other regulatory liabilities balances ($505 million), a decrease in accounts payable ($239 million), an increase in prepayments ($107 million) and a decrease in accrued taxes to affiliated companies ($88 million), offset in part by a higher decrease of payments for and recovery of energy costs. This timing is reflected within changes to accounts receivable –balances from customers recoverablenet of allowance for uncollectible accounts ($345 million) (see “COVID-19 Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements and refundable energy costs within other regulatory assets“Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts", "Accounting Considerations” and liabilities“Liquidity and accounts payable balances.Financing,” above) and higher deferred income taxes ($178 million).

The changes in regulatory assets primarily reflect changes in deferred pension costs in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits.


Cash Flows Used inFrom (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash flows from investing activities for Con Edison were $3,570 million higher for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the 2022 period.

The change for Con Edison primarily reflects primarily lower new investments in electricthe proceeds from substantially all of the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses, net of cash and gas transmission projectscash equivalents sold ($1,011 million) and renewable electric production projects ($240 million), and a decrease in non-utility construction expenditures ($1483,927 million), offset in part by lower proceeds from salean increase in utility construction expenditures ($213 million), an increase in non-utility construction expenditures ($115 million), higher investments ($15 million) and higher cost of assetsremoval less salvage ($21614 million). The change for CECONY primarily reflects absence of proceeds from the transfer of assets to NY Transcoan increase in 2016 ($122 million) and increased utility construction expenditures ($88191 million) and higher cost of removal less salvage ($13 million). Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities recover the cost of utility construction expenditures from customers, including an approved rate of return (before and after being placed in service and or AFUDC before being placed in service). Increases in the amount of utility construction expenditures may temporarily increase the amount of short-term debt issued by the Utilities prior to the long-term financing of such amounts.

UtilityRegulation
CyberRegulation
In March 2017,2023, the NYSPSC issued an order that changesNY State legislature amended the way distributed energy resources are compensated and begins to phase out net energy metering. In New York, net energy metering compensates kilowatt-hours exported to the electric distribution system at the full service rate (that is production plus delivery plus taxes and fees). To provide a gradual transition, the NYSPSC allowed all existing resources to keep their current rate treatment and will delay making significant changes to policies affecting new residential and small commercial rooftop solar until 2020. Larger installations, including new commercial and industrial projects and new community solar projects, will be paid for the value of their exports to the electricity distribution system. The new policy establishes a 2 percent limit on bill increases, reducing the shifting of avoided distribution costs to non-participating residential customers that would have occurred under net energy metering.

In October 2017, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Natural Resources Defense Council requestedNY State Public Service Law, directing the NYSPSC to prohibit CECONYdevelop rules to direct electric and gas utilities, among other things, to: (i) take necessary measures to monitor and protect customer privacy, including, but not limited to, customer electric and gas consumption data, from recovering costs underunauthorized disclosure or unconsented sharing, (ii) develop and implement tools to monitor operational control networks to detect unauthorized network behavior, including the company’s 20-year transportation contract for 250,000 dekatherms per day of capacity on the Mountain Valley Pipeline unless CECONY demonstrates compliance with a public interest standard.utilities' industrial control systems that support distribution, transmission and advanced metering infrastructure control centers and (iii) mandate that utilities’ emergency response plans include cyber-attack response plans. The law also states that customer electric and gas consumption data should be considered confidential.

Environmental Matters
Clean Energy Future
Clean Energy Goals
In March and April of 2023, CECONY and O&R applied for federal grants of $177 million and $125 million, respectively, appropriated under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). In addition, seven states, including NY State, submitted a proposal for a Northeast Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (the Hydrogen Hub) to the U.S. Department of Energy for funding under the IIJA. CECONY is seeking up to $116 million of funding to use carbon-free hydrogen to produce steam at its East River steam generating station as part of the Hydrogen Hub proposal. Federal grants obtained pursuant to the IIJA are expected to be used to reduce customers’ costs for investments in CECONY’s electric and steam systems and O&R's electric system.

In April 2023, the NYSPSC approved CECONY’s December 2022 petition seeking cost recovery approval for a proposed clean energy hub in Brooklyn, NY (Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub) at an estimated cost of $810 million, that is in addition to the capital expenditures approved in the CECONY joint proposal. See "Rate Plans" in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements. The Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub has an estimated in-service date of December 2027 and addresses a 2028 reliability need. The Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub provides the flexibility for offshore wind resources to interconnect during construction and after it commences operation.

In May 2023, NY approved the 2023-2024 state budget, that includes legislation that prohibits the installation of fossil-fuel equipment and building systems, including oil and natural gas, beginning in 2026 for affected new buildings with not more than seven stories and beginning in 2029 for all other new affected buildings. The law includes exemptions for, among other things, emergency backup generators, hospitals, laundromats and commercial kitchens.

Other Environmental Matters
In May 2017, a transformer failure atJuly 2021, a CECONY substation dischargedfeeder failure led to the discharge of thousands of gallons of transformer oil intodielectric fluid from a street manhole in New Rochelle, NY. Dielectric fluid reached nearby streets, properties and the soil. Some of the transformer oil, which contained small amounts of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), leaked into the East River. The company,New Rochelle Harbor. CECONY, the U.S. Coast Guard, the New York State Department of Environmental ConservationNYSDEC and other agencies responded to the incident. TheCECONY stopped the feeder leak on the same day the discharge occurred and has completed the spill recovery and associated cleanup operations. In addition, the company has replaced the transformer, and is continuing to remediate and monitor the site, thereceived third-party damage claims. The costs of whichassociated with this matter are not expected to have a material adverse effect on itsthe company’s financial condition, results of operations orand liquidity. In connection with the incident, the company may incur monetary sanctions of more than $0.1$0.3 million for violations of certain provisions regulating the discharge of materials into, and for the protection of, the environment.

In June 2017, CECONY received a notice of potential liability from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with respect to the Newtown Creek site that was listed in 2010 on the EPA’s National Priorities List of Superfund sites. The EPA has identified fourteen potentially responsible parties (PRPs) with respect to the site, including CECONY, and has indicated that it will notify the company as additional PRPs are identified and notified by the EPA. Newtown Creek and its tributaries (collectively, Newtown Creek) form a 3.8 mile border between Brooklyn and Queens, New York. Currently, the predominant land use around Newtown Creek includes industrial, petroleum, recycling, manufacturing and distribution facilities and warehouses. Other uses include trucking, concrete manufacture, transportation infrastructure and a wastewater treatment plant. Newtown Creek is near several residential neighborhoods. Six PRPs, not including CECONY, pursuant to an administrative settlement agreement and order on consent the EPA issued to them in 2011, have been performing a remedial investigation of the site. The EPA indicated that sampling events have shown the sediments in Newtown Creek to be contaminated with a wide variety of hazardous substances including PCBs, metals, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile organic contaminants. The EPA also indicated that it has reason to believe that hazardous substances have come to be released from CECONY facilities into Newtown Creek. The EPA’s current schedule anticipates completion of a feasibility study for the site by late 2018 and issuance of its record of decision selecting a remedy for the site by late 2020. CECONY is unable to estimate its exposure to liability for the Newtown Creek site.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, CECONY and another utility responded to a reported dielectric fluid leak at a New Jersey marina on the Hudson River associated with one or two underwater transmission lines, the New Jersey portion of which is owned and operated by the other utility and the New York portion of which is owned and operated by CECONY. During the third quarter of 2017, after the marina owner had cleared substantial debris from its collapsed pier, a dielectric fluid leak was found and repaired on one of the underwater transmission lines. In the fourth quarter of 2017, it is anticipated that sediment regrading will be completed in underwater areas of the marina that had been disturbed during the leak search and repair efforts. Monitoring also will be conducted to evaluate whether any further action is necessary. CECONY expects that, consistent with the cost allocation provisions of their prior arrangements for the transmission lines, the costs to respond to the incident and repair the line, net of any recovery from the marina owner, will be shared by CECONY and the other utility. At September 30, 2017, the response and repair costs amounted to approximately $27 million, including those costs incurred by CECONY and those costs which the company has been notified have been incurred by the other utility and the U.S. Coast Guard.

CECONY does not expect that its ultimate share of the costs to respond to the discharge and repair the transmission line will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks
The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk credit risk and investment risk.


Interest Rate Risk
The Companies’Companies' interest rate risk relates primarily to variable rate debt andrelates to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities.securities, and variable-rate debt. Con Edison and its businessessubsidiaries manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. Con Edison and CECONY estimate that at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $2$4 million. Under CECONY’s current electric, gas and steam rate plans, variations in actual variable rate tax-exempt debt interest expense, including costs associated with the refinancing of the variable rate tax-exempt debt, are reconciled to levels reflected in rates.


Inflationary pressure has prompted the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates. Higher interest rates have resulted in, and are expected to continue to result in, increased interest expense on commercial paper, variable-rate debt and long-term debt issuances.

Commodity Price Risk
Con Edison’s commodity price risk primarily relates primarily to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities apply, and the Clean Energy Businesses applyapplied risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note KN to the ThirdFirst Quarter Financial Statements.


Con Edison estimates that, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $66$159 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $60$149 million is for CECONY and $6$10 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased.

The Utilities do not make any margin or profit on the electricity or gas they sell. In accordance with provisions
approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from full-service customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for theirthose customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs.

The Clean Energy Businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market price risk of their portfolio of electricity However, increases in electric and gas commodity fixed-price purchaseprices may contribute to a slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances and sales commitments, physical forward contracts, generating assets and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of the portfolio due to changes in market prices, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their portfolio using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level and compare the measured VaR results against performance due to actual prices and stress test the portfolio each quarter using an assumed 30 percent price change from forecast. Since the VaR calculation involves complex methodologies and estimates and assumptions that are based on past experience, it is not necessarily indicative of future results. VaR for the portfolio, assuming a one-day holding period, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively, was as follows:

Credit Risk
The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses. See the discussion of credit exposure in Note Kincreases to the Third Quarter Financial Statements.allowance for uncollectible accounts, and may result in increases to write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances.


Investment Risk
The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans andplans. Con Edison's investment risk also relates to the investments of the Clean Energy Businesses and Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for under the equity method. See "Investments" in Note A to the First Quarter Financial Statements.


The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 5328 to 6338 percent equitiesequity securities, 42 to 60 percent debt securities and 3512 to 4922 percent fixed income and other securities.alternatives. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, the pension plan investments consisted of 5831.9 percent equity securities, 48.8 percent debt securities and 4219.3 percent fixed income and other securities.alternatives.






72                             

For the Utilities’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans, regulatory accounting treatment is generally applied in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations. In accordance with the Statement of Policy issued by the NYSPSC and its current electric, gas and steam rate plans, CECONY defers for payment to or recovery from customers the difference between the pension and other postretirement benefit expenses and the amounts for such expenses reflected in rates. Generally, O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its NY rate plans.

For information about the Companies’ primary market risks associated with activities in derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, see “Financial and Commodity Market Risks,” in Part I, Item 2 of this report, which informationthat is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 4: Controls and Procedures
The Companies maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that they submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. For each of the Companies, its management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and, based on such evaluation, has concluded that the controls and procedures are effective to provide such reasonable assurance. Reasonable assurance is not absolute assurance, however, and there can be no assurance that any design of controls or procedures would be effective under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
There was no change in the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companies’ most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A: Risk Factors
There were no material changes in the Companies’ risk factors compared to those disclosed in Item 1A of the Form 10-K.

Item 2: Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On February 16, 2023, Con Edison announced its intent to repurchase up to $1,000 million of its Common Shares ($.10 par value). In March 2023, Con Edison entered into ASR Contracts with two dealers to repurchase $1,000 million in aggregate of its Common Shares. Pursuant to the ASR Contracts, Con Edison made payments of $1,000 million in aggregate to the dealers and received initial deliveries of 8,730,766 Common Shares in aggregate, that were recorded in treasury stock at fair value based on the closing price on March 6, 2023 of $91.63, of $800 million. The remaining $200 million was recorded as additional paid-in-capital, representing the value of the forward contract to purchase additional shares. The final number of Common Shares to be received from the dealers will be based on the volume-weighted average share price of Common Shares during the term of the applicable transaction, less a discount. At settlement, under certain circumstances, the dealers may be required to deliver additional Common Shares to Con Edison or Con Edison may be required either to make a cash payment or deliver Common Shares to the dealers. The final settlement of the transactions under the ASR Contracts is expected to occur no later than the third quarter of 2023. The terms of the accelerated share repurchases under the ASR Contracts are subject to adjustment if Con Edison enters into or announces certain types of transactions or takes certain corporate actions.
