Con Edison completed the sale of its Clean Energy Businesses on March 1, 2023, signaling a strategic shift towards its core regulated utility operations. This is evidenced by the reduction in renewable energy-related activities and a greater emphasis on regulated operations.

Con Edison Transmission continues to invest in electric transmission projects, particularly through its partnership in New York Transco and the New York Energy Solution project. This indicates a strategic focus on enhancing transmission infrastructure to support clean energy delivery.

The approval of utility-scale thermal energy network pilot projects by the NYSDPS signals exploration of new service offerings beyond traditional electricity, gas, and steam. This reflects a strategic effort to diversify and adapt to evolving energy needs.

Despite lower revenues, operating expenses remained relatively high, indicating potential challenges in cost management. This is particularly evident in the increase in other operations and maintenance expenses.

CECONY continues to investigate and remediate non-conforming gas and steam main welds, demonstrating proactive management of safety and regulatory compliance. While the financial impact is uncertain, the ongoing investigation and remediation efforts indicate a commitment to addressing the issue.

CECONY's incurred costs for the new customer billing and information system were $509 million, exceeding the $421 million limit in the rate plans. The company has filed a petition with the NYSPSC for permission to capitalize the incremental costs, but the outcome is uncertain.

CECONY is under investigation by the NYSDPS and law enforcement regarding non-conforming gas and steam main welds. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of possible loss, if any, related to this matter.

CECONY has incurred costs exceeding the limit on capital investments included in its rate plans for the new customer billing and information system. The NYSPSC may prohibit CECONY from capitalizing some or all of the costs above the limit.

There is risk that the fair value of Con Edison's investment in MVP may be further impaired in the future. Assumptions and estimates used to test Con Edison's investment in MVP for impairment may change if adverse developments impacting the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline were to occur.

Con Edison's strategic shift towards its core regulated utility operations provides a stable market position, as these operations are less susceptible to market fluctuations and competitive pressures compared to unregulated businesses.

The Utilities' rate plans and regulatory mechanisms, such as revenue decoupling and weather normalization clauses, provide some protection against market volatility and changes in customer demand.

Con Edison Transmission is participating in competitive solicitations to develop additional electric projects, indicating ongoing competition in the transmission sector.

The decrease in operating revenues and increase in operating expenses indicates a need for increased focus on cost management to improve operational efficiency.

CECONY's steam operations show a decrease in fuel expenses, indicating efforts to improve operational efficiency in steam generation.

The implementation of a new customer billing and information system is intended to improve operational efficiency and customer service, although the cost recovery is still uncertain.

The exploration of thermal energy networks through pilot projects indicates a forward-looking approach to energy delivery and a willingness to adopt new technologies.

Investments in transmission projects support the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid, demonstrating a focus on modernizing infrastructure to accommodate clean energy.

The implementation of a new customer billing and information system represents a significant technological upgrade, although the cost recovery is still uncertain.

The company continues to invest in utility infrastructure, as evidenced by the increase in utility construction expenditures.

Con Edison contributed $25 million to CECONY.

The company is actively managing its capital structure through debt issuances and repayments.

Con Edison's efforts to transition to clean, renewable energy are evident in its investments in transmission projects.

The exploration of thermal energy networks through pilot projects supports sustainability goals by exploring more efficient and environmentally friendly energy delivery methods.

The company is committed to environmental remediation at Superfund sites, as evidenced by its ongoing efforts to investigate and remediate contamination.

The NYSPSC's approval of the settlement agreement related to the Manhattan explosion and the NYSDPS's approval of thermal energy network pilot projects influence strategic decisions and capital allocation.

The company notes that after adjusting for variations, primarily weather and billing days, electric delivery volumes in CECONY's service area increased 1.1 percent.

The company discusses the impact of economic conditions and customer behavior on accounts receivable, indicating the influence of external factors on financial performance.
