54--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CECONY Electric and Gas Rate Plans InJanuary 2022 , CECONY filed a request with the NYSPSC for electric and gas rate increases of$1,199 million and$503 million , respectively, effectiveJanuary 2023 . InApril 2022 , CECONY updated itsJanuary 2022 request and decreased its requestedJanuary 2023 increase for electric and gas rate increases to$1,038 million and$402 million , respectively. InMay 2022 , the NYSDPS submitted testimony in the NYSPSC proceeding in which CECONY requested electric and gas rate increases, effectiveJanuary 2023 . The NYSDPS testimony supports electric and gas rate increases of$278 million and$164 million , respectively. CECONY's future earnings will depend on the rates authorized in, and the other provisions of, itsJanuary 2023 rate plans and CECONY's ability to operate its businesses in a manner consistent with such rate plans. Therefore, the outcome of CECONY's rate request, which requires approval by the NYSPSC, will impact the Companies' future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. See "Rate Plans" in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements. Pursuant to its electric and gas rate plans, CECONY recorded$92 million of earnings for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 of earnings adjustment mechanisms and positive incentives, primarily reflecting the achievement of certain energy efficiency measures. For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , CECONY recorded a reduction in the amount of previously recorded earnings adjustment mechanisms of$4.5 million . The amount of earnings or losses CECONY records pursuant to the earnings adjustment mechanisms and positive incentives will also impact the Companies' future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. See "Rate Plans" in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements. Clean Energy Goals The success of the Companies' efforts to meet federal, state and city clean energy policy goals and the impact of 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 policies are enacted and implemented that continue to promote renewable electric energy. 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 facilitatingNew York State's andNew 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. Clean Energy Businesses The Clean Energy Businesses develop, own and operate renewable and sustainable energy infrastructure projects. The success of the Clean Energy Businesses' strategy to increase earnings is dependent upon the expansion of their renewable energy portfolio and successful execution of develop/transfer opportunities.Con Edison is considering strategic alternatives with respect to the Clean Energy Businesses. The outcome of such evaluation may impactCon Edison's future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. 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 inMountain Valley Pipeline, LLC and during 2021, Con Edison Transmission recorded impairments on its previously held interest in Stagecoach and its interest inHoneoye Storage Corporation (Honeoye). Any future impairments of Con Edison Transmission's investments may impactCon 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 NYTransco partnership, and in NJ, and to deliver renewable energy from northern ME to theNew England transmission system within southern ME. The success of Con Edison Transmission's efforts in these competitive solicitations and to grow its electric transmission portfolio may impactCon Edison's future capital requirements. See "Investments" in Note A to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.
COVID-19
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted, and continues to impact, countries, communities, supply chains and markets. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an economic slowdown in the Companies' service territories and changes in governmental and regulatory policy. The decline in business activity in the Companies' service territories has 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 COVID-19 will continue to impact the Companies, in particular, the Companies' ability to recover cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances and the amount of write-offs of customer accounts, may impactCon Edison's future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. See "Coronavirus 55 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts" below and "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.
CECONY
Electric
CECONY provides electric service to approximately 3.6 million customers in all ofNew York City (except a part ofQueens ) and most ofWestchester 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
InMay 2022 , CECONY decreased its five-year forecast of average annual growth of the firm peak gas demand in its service area at design conditions from approximately 1.3 percent (for 2022 to 2026) to approximately 1.0 percent (for 2023 to 2027). The decrease primarily reflects an expected increase in customers' energy efficiency measures and electrification of space heating. The decrease also reflects expected lower commercial building occupancy levels to continue in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. InMarch 2019 , due to gas supply constraints, CECONY established a temporary moratorium on new applications for firm gas service in most ofWestchester County . InJuly 2020 , CECONY filed a gas planning analysis with the NYSPSC that stated the moratorium could be lifted when increased pipeline capacity is achieved upon completion of theTennessee Gas Pipeline's East 300Update Project or peak demand is reduced through efficiency and other demand side reductions to a level that would enable CECONY to lift the moratorium. InApril 2022 ,FERC issued a certificate of public convenience and necessity that authorizesTennessee Gas Pipeline to construct and operate the East 300Upgrade Project . Certain state and local permits have not yet been obtained. TheTennessee Gas Pipeline's East 300Update Project is expected to be completed byNovember 2023 . CECONY's gas planning analysis also stated that the company is monitoring a gas supply constraint for theNew York City portion of its service territory. InMay 2022 , the NYSPSC issued orders on gas planning and moratorium management. The orders set forth a schedule for filing future gas planning analyses and the process for initiating, operating and lifting a natural gas moratorium.
Steam
CECONY operates the largest steam distribution system in
InMay 2022 , CECONY decreased its five-year forecast of average annual growth in the peak steam demand in its service area at design conditions from a 0.1 percent increase (for 2022 to 2026) to a 0.1 percent decrease (for 2023 to 2027). The decrease reflects expected lower commercial building occupancy levels in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 NY and northern NJ, an approximately 1,300 square mile service area. Gas
O&R delivers gas to over 0.1 million customers in southeastern NY.
InMay 2022 , O&R decreased its five-year forecast of average annual growth of the firm peak gas demand in its service area at design conditions from approximately a 0.1 percent increase (for 2022 to 2026) to approximately a 0.1 percent decrease (for 2023 to 2027). The decrease primarily reflects an expected increase in customers' energy efficiency measures and electrification of space heating. 56

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts
The Companies continue to respond to the COVID-19 global pandemic by working to
reduce the potential risks posed by its spread to employees, customers and other
stakeholders. The Companies continue to employ an incident command structure led
by a pandemic planning team. The Companies support employee health and facility
hygiene through regular cleaning and disinfecting of all work and common areas,
promoting social distancing and leveraging technology through hybrid
(combination of in-person and remote) meetings. Employees who test positive for
COVID-19 are directed to quarantine at home and are evaluated for close,
prolonged contact with other employees that would require those employees to
quarantine at home. Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
guidelines, sick or quarantined employees return to work when they can safely do
so. The Utilities continue to provide critical electric, gas and steam service
to customers during the pandemic. Additional safety protocols have been
implemented to protect employees, customers and the public, when work at
customer premises is required.
In October 2021 , in response to President Biden's Executive Order 14042, the
Companies announced that they are committed to complying with the mandate for
employees of federal contractors and subcontractors to be fully vaccinated
against COVID-19 by the federally-required deadline, unless employees are
legally entitled to an accommodation. In December 2021 , an injunction was issued
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia which
currently prevents the U.S. government from enforcing this federal contractor
vaccine mandate nationwide. The Eleventh Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals
heard oral arguments in April 2022 .
57
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InDecember 2021 ,New York City instituted a vaccination mandate that requires employees of private businesses located inNew York City who perform in-person work or interact with the public to be vaccinated against COVID-19. In furtherance of the mandate, inDecember 2021 , theNew York City Commissioner of Health and Mental Hygiene issued an order that requires workers entering workplaces withinNew York City to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination, except in cases of a medical or religious exemption. This order is applicable to the Companies' employees and contractors who report in-person to a company workplace located inNew York City and the Companies are complying with its requirements. The Companies are continuing to monitor the vaccination mandates closely and are implementing appropriate measures to mitigate any workforce and cost impacts that may occur. Below is additional information related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Companies' actions. Also, see "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements. Impact of CARES Act and 2021 Appropriations Act on Accounting for Income Taxes In response to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act became law onMarch 27, 2020 . The CARES Act has several key business tax relief measures that may present potential cash benefits and/or refund opportunities forCon Edison and its subsidiaries, including permitting a five-year carryback of a NOL for tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020, temporary removal of the 80 percent limitation of NOL carryforwards against taxable income for tax years before 2021, temporary relaxation of the limitations on interest deductions, employee retention tax credit and deferral of payments of employer payroll taxes. The CARES Act also allowed employers to defer payments of the employer share ofSocial Security payroll taxes that would have otherwise been owed fromMarch 27, 2020 throughDecember 31, 2020 . The Companies deferred the payment of employer payroll taxes for the periodApril 1, 2020 throughDecember 31, 2020 of approximately$71 million ($63 million of which is for CECONY). The Companies paid half of this liability during 2021 and will repay the other half byDecember 31, 2022 . Under the CARES Act, the Companies qualified for an employee retention tax credit for "eligible employers" related to governmental authorities imposing restrictions that partially suspended their operation for a portion of their workforce due to the COVID-19 pandemic. InDecember 2020 , the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the 2021 Appropriations Act) was signed into law. The 2021 Appropriations Act, among other things, extended the expiring employee retention tax credit to include qualified wages paid in the first two quarters of 2021, increased the qualified wages paid to an employee from 50 percent up to$10,000 annually in 2020 to 70 percent up to$10,000 per quarter in 2021 and increased the maximum employee retention tax credit amount an employer could take per employee from$5,000 in 2020 to$14,000 in the first two quarters of 2021. InMarch 2021 , the American Rescue Plan Act was signed into law that expanded the 2021 Appropriations Act to extend the period for eligible employers to receive the employer retention credit fromJune 30, 2021 toDecember 31, 2021 . InNovember 2021 , the Infrastructure and Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law and accelerated the end of the employee retention tax credit retroactive toOctober 1, 2021 , rather thanDecember 31, 2021 . This effectively reduced the maximum credit available from$28,000 to$21,000 per employee. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 ,Con Edison and CECONY recognized a tax benefit to Taxes, other than income taxes of$6 million and$3 million , respectively. 58
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accounting Considerations Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequentNew 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. InJune 2020 , the state of NY enacted a law prohibiting NY utilities, including CECONY and O&R, from disconnecting residential customers, and starting inMay 2021 small business customers, during the COVID-19 state of emergency, which ended inJune 2021 . In addition, such prohibitions were in effect untilDecember 21, 2021 for residential and small business customers who have 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. CECONY's and O&R's "accounts receivable - customers" balance (net allowance for uncollectible accounts) changed from$1,841 million and$91 million atDecember 31, 2021 to$1,932 million and$90 million atJune 30, 2022 , respectively. The amount of the customer accounts receivable balances that are over 60 days in arrears for CECONY and O&R are$1,345 million and$30 million , respectively, as ofJune 30, 2022 , and$1,272 million and$29 million , respectively, as ofDecember 31, 2021 . CECONY's and O&R's allowances for uncollectible customer accounts reserve changed from$304 million and$12.3 million atDecember 31, 2021 to$324 million and$12.1 million atJune 30, 2022 respectively. InJune 2022 , the NYSPSC issued an order implementing a COVID-19 arrears assistance program that provides credits and establishes surcharge recovery mechanisms towards reducing the arrears balances of low-income electric and gas customers of CECONY and O&R. The NYSPSC may consider additional programs to address utility arrearages as part of a utility arrearage program. CECONY and O&R expect to reduce customer accounts receivables balances commensurate with amounts authorized to be recovered under customer arrearage programs. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements and "Liquidity and Financing," below. During the first half of 2022, the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was also considered in forward-looking projections related to write-off and recovery rates, resulting in increases 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 atJune 30, 2022 . NY Legislation InApril 2021 , NY passed a law that increases the corporate franchise tax rate on business income from 6.5% to 7.25%, retroactive toJanuary 1, 2021 , for taxpayers with taxable income greater than$5 million . The law also reinstates the business capital tax at 0.1875%, 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 are scheduled to expire after 2023 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Companies' financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In addition, the new 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 afterMarch 13, 2020 . The program will be administered by theState 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 Second Quarter Financial Statements. Liquidity and Financing The Companies continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets closely, including borrowing rates and daily cash collections. The Companies have been able to access the capital markets as needed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic inMarch 2020 . See Note C and Note D to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.
59
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decline in business activity in the Utilities' service territory due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequentNew 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 in 2020 and 2021. During the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , increases in electric and gas commodity prices have contributed and may further contribute to a slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances. These trends will likely continue through the remainder of 2022. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements and "Financial and Commodity Market Risks - Commodity Price Risk," below. InJune 2022 , the NYSPSC issued an order implementing a COVID-19 arrears assistance program that provides credits and establishes 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 Second Quarter Financial Statements and "Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts - Accounting Considerations," above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Flows from Operating Activities The Utilities' cash flows from operating activities primarily reflect their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is primarily affected by factors external to the Utilities, such as 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. During 2020 and 2021, the decline in business activity in the Utilities' service territory 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' NY electric and gas rate plans, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved may affect the timing of cash flows, but largely not net income. The prices at which the Utilities provide energy to their customers are determined in accordance with their rate plans. During the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , increases in electric and gas commodity prices have contributed and may further contribute 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. 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. Increases to the allowance for uncollectible accounts related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been deferred pursuant to the legislative, regulatory and related actions provisions of their rate plans. InNovember 2021 , the NYSPSC issued an order establishing a surcharge recovery mechanism commencingDecember 1, 2021 throughDecember 31, 2022 for CECONY to collect late payment charges and fees that were not billed for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The order also established a surcharge recovery or surcredit mechanism for any fee deferrals for 2021 and 2022. InApril 2022 , the NYSPSC approved theOctober 2021 joint proposal for new electric and gas rates for O&R for the three-year periodJanuary 2022 throughDecember 2024 (the Joint Proposal) that includes certain COVID-19 provisions, such as: recovery of 2020 late payment charges over three years; reconciliation of late payment charges to amounts reflected in rates for years 2021 through 2024; and reconciliation of write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances to amounts reflected in rates fromJanuary 1, 2020 throughDecember 31, 2024 . InJune 2022 , the NYSPSC issued an order implementing a COVID-19 arrears assistance program that provides credits towards the arrears balances of low-income electric and gas customers of CECONY and O&R. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" and "Other Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements and "Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts - Liquidity and Financing," above. Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities have recovered from customers a portion of the tax liability they will pay in the future as a result of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. These temporary differences affect the timing of cash flows, but not net income, as the Companies are required to record deferred tax assets and liabilities at the current corporate tax rate for the temporary differences. For the Utilities, credits to their customers of the net benefits of the TCJA, including the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, decrease cash flows from operating activities. Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities also recover from customers the amount of property taxes they will pay. The payment of property taxes by the Utilities affects the timing of cash flows and increases the amount of short-term borrowings issued by the Utilities when property taxes are due and as property taxes increase, but generally does not impact net income. See "Rate Plans" in Note B, "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B, "Other Regulatory Matters" in Note B and Note J to the Second Quarter Financial Statements and "Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts - Liquidity and Financing," above. 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, amortizations of certain regulatory assets and 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' NY electric and gas rate plans. ForCon Edison , net income for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 included non-cash losses recognized with respect to a partial goodwill impairment of Con Edison Transmission's investment in Stagecoach. See "Investments" in Note A to the Second Quarter Financial Statements. 82
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net cash flows from operating activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 forCon Edison and CECONY were$564 million higher and$631 million higher, respectively, than in the 2021 period. The changes in net cash flows forCon Edison and CECONY primarily reflect net higher deferred credits and other regulatory liabilities balances ($257 million and$219 million , respectively), higher accounts payable balances ($189 million and$110 million , respectively), higher deferred income taxes ($120 million and$58 million , respectively), higher current and noncurrent liabilities balances ($84 million and$84 million , respectively) and higher recoveries of depreciation and amortization ($68 million and$62 million , respectively), offset in part by a higher increase of accounts receivables balances from customers, net of allowance for uncollectible accounts ($91 million and$76 million , respectively) (see "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements and "Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts", "Accounting Considerations" and "Liquidity and Financing," above) and higher prepayments ($47 million and$4 million , respectively). ForCon Edison , it is also offset in part by higher other receivables and other current asset balances ($58 million ). For CECONY, the higher net cash flows from operating activities also reflects lower pension and retiree benefit contributions ($71 million ), higher rate case amortization and accruals ($39 million ), lower other receivables and other current asset balances ($31 million ) and higher accrued taxes ($28 million ). The change in net cash flows also reflects the timing of payments for and recovery of energy costs. This timing is reflected within changes to accounts receivable - customers, recoverable and refundable energy costs within other regulatory assets and liabilities and accounts payable balances.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities forCon Edison and CECONY were$118 million higher and$42 million higher, respectively, for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 compared with the 2021 period. The change forCon Edison primarily reflects the proceeds from the divestiture of renewable electric projects at the Clean Energy Businesses in 2021 ($183 million ) and an increase in utility construction expenditures at CECONY ($48 million ), partially offset by a decrease in non-utility construction expenditures at the Clean Energy Businesses ($122 million ) due to construction of the CED Nevada Virginia projects being completed during the first half of 2021 and a decrease in utility construction expenditures at O&R ($1 million ).
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities for
In
InJune 2022 ,Con Edison entered into and borrowed$400 million under theJune 2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement under which a bank is committed, untilNovember 30, 2022 , to provide toCon Edison one or more tranches of incremental term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed$200 million in addition to the$400 million borrowed onJune 30, 2022 . See Note D to the Second Quarter Financial Statements. InJune 2021 ,Con Edison issued 10,100,000 shares of its common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately$775 million , after issuance expenses. The net proceeds from the sale of the common shares were invested byCon Edison in CECONY, for funding of its construction expenditures and for its other general corporate purposes.
In
During the first quarter of 2021,Con Edison optionally prepaid the remaining$675 million outstanding under aFebruary 2019 term loan prior to its maturity inJune 2021 .
In
InJune 2021 , CECONY issued$750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.40 percent debentures, due 2031, the net proceeds from the sale of which were used to redeem at maturity its$640 million floating rate three-year debentures and for other general corporate purposes. InJune 2021 CECONY also issued$750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.60 percent debentures, due 2061, the net proceeds from the sale of which will be used to pay or reimburse the payment of, in whole or in part, existing and new qualifying eligible green expenditures, such as energy efficiency and clean transportation expenditures, that include those funded on or afterJanuary 1, 2021 until 83 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the maturity date of the debentures. CECONY used the net proceeds for repayment of short-term debt and temporarily placed the remaining net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing instruments.
InFebruary 2021 , a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses borrowed$250 million at a variable rate, due 2028, secured by equity interests in four of the company's solar electric projects, the interest rate for which was swapped to a fixed rate of 3.39 percent. InFebruary 2021 , a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses entered into an agreement with a tax equity investor for the financing of a portfolio of three of the Clean Energy Businesses' solar electric projects (CED Nevada Virginia). Under the financing, the tax equity investor acquired a noncontrolling interest in the portfolio and will receive a percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows. InMarch 2021 ,May 2021 ,June 2021 ,July 2021 , andAugust 2021 , the tax equity investor funded$39 million ,$13 million ,$47 million ,$53 million and$111 million , respectively. The Clean Energy Businesses will continue to consolidate this entity and will report the noncontrolling tax equity investor's interest in the tax equity arrangement. See Note P to the Second Quarter Financial Statements. InMarch 2021 , a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses agreed to issue$229 million aggregate principal amount of 3.77 percent senior notes, due 2046. InJune 2021 ,July 2021 , andAugust 2021 CED Nevada Virginia issued$38 million ,$61 million and$130 million , respectively, of the$229 million senior notes, which are secured by equity interests in CED Nevada and the proceeds from the sale of which repaid a portion of the borrowings outstanding under a construction loan facility.Con Edison's cash flows from financing activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021 also reflect the proceeds, and reduction in cash used for reinvested dividends, resulting from the issuance of common shares under the company's dividend reinvestment, stock purchase and long-term incentive plans of$45 million and$54 million , respectively. Cash flows from financing activities of the Companies also reflect commercial paper issuances and repayments. The commercial paper amounts outstanding atJune 30, 2022 and 2021 and the average daily balances for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021 forCon Edison and CECONY were as follows: 2022 2021

Regulatory Matters Liability for Service Interruptions InDecember 2021 , theNew York State legislature amended theNew York State Public Service Law, effectiveApril 2022 , to require NY electric and gas utilities, including CECONY and O&R, to provide compensation to residential and small business customers that experience widespread prolonged outages lasting more than seventy-two consecutive hours, subject to certain exceptions, including: a bill credit of$25 for each twenty-four hour period of service outage beyond the first seventy-two consecutive hour outage; reimbursement to customers for food spoilage up to$540 ; and reimbursement of affected residential customers for prescription medicine spoilage losses without limitation. Any such costs incurred by utilities are not recoverable from customers. Utilities may petition the NYSPSC to request a waiver of the requirements of this section of theNew York State Public Service Law. InJuly 2022 , the NYSPSC issued an order that promulgated rules and definitions for the law's implementation and determined that while a utility could seek a waiver of the requirement to provide compensation, it could not seek a waiver of the requirement that the costs of outage credits not be recovered from customers if it provided compensation.
For additional information about the Utilities' regulatory matters, see Note B to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.
Environmental Matters InJuly 2021 , a CECONY feeder failure led to the discharge of thousands of gallons of dielectric fluid from a street manhole inNew Rochelle, NY . Dielectric fluid reached nearby streets, properties and theNew Rochelle Harbor . CECONY, theU.S. Coast Guard , the NYSDEC and other agencies responded to the incident. CECONY stopped the 87 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- feeder leak on the same day the discharge occurred and has completed the spill recovery and associated cleanup operations. In addition, the company has received third-party damage claims. The costs associated with this matter are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. In connection with the incident, the company may incur monetary sanctions of more than$0.3 million for violations of certain provisions regulating the discharge of materials into, and for the protection of, the environment. InAugust 2019 , following the enactment of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), the NYSPSC initiated a proceeding to "reconcile resource adequacy programs withNew York State's renewable energy and environmental emission reduction goals." InMay 2020 , the NYSPSC initiated a proceeding implementing the Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth and Community Benefit Act to alignNew York State's electric system with CLCPA goals. InNovember 2020 , NY's investor-owned utilities (including CECONY and O&R) and theLong Island Power Authority filed a comprehensive report in this proceeding, identifying proactive local transmission and distribution investments in their systems to facilitate achieving the goals of the CLCPA and setting out policy recommendations for how they will identify, prioritize and allocate costs of these and future such projects going forward. CECONY and O&R identified approximately$4,500 million and$400 million , respectively, in local transmission investment. InJanuary 2022 , the NYSPSC issued its order on power grid study recommendations that authorized CECONY to file a comprehensive petition addressing a proposed "Con Edison Hub" inBrooklyn, NY that could accommodate offshore wind generation. InApril 2022 , CECONY filed the petition, seeking cost recovery approval for the proposed Con Edison Hub at an estimated cost of$1,000 million and an estimated in-service date of 2027. The proposed Con Edison Hub would create interconnection points to connect up to 6,000 MW of offshore wind energy into theNew York City grid. InMay 2022 , the NYSPSC issued an order that initiates a proceeding to measure and track compliance with, and develop and consider proposals to implement, the provisions of the CLCPA. The order requires, among other things, that NY's investor-owned utilities (including CECONY and O&R) propose a methodology byDecember 1, 2022 to calculate total gas system-wide GHG emissions and develop a proposal byMarch 31, 2023 that analyzes the scale, timing, costs, risks, uncertainties and customer bill impacts of achieving significant and quantifiable reductions in carbon emissions from the use of delivered gas. The order further states that investments required to implement the CLCPA are becoming a significant driver of utility rate increases and instructs the NYSDPS to provide the NYSPSC and the public with specific cost-based information on the impact of these CLCPA investments on customers. InFebruary 2022 ,Governor Hochul signed into law an amendment to the Public Service Law that requires all NY utilities, including CECONY and O&R, to conduct a climate change vulnerability study bySeptember 2023 and develop and file for approval by the NYSPSC a climate vulnerability and resiliency plan byNovember 2023 that includes 10- and 20-year outlooks for resiliency. The law authorizes utilities to recover costs through a climate resiliency cost recovery surcharge for costs incurred outside of rate proceedings and include any unrecovered costs in base rates when base rates are reset. The NY utilities are required to file an updated climate vulnerability and resiliency plan with the NYSPSC for approval at least every five years. InJune 2022 , the NYSPSC initiated a proceeding to implement the requirements of the legislation. Federal and local municipal laws and agencies also regulate emissions levels and impact the CLCPA's decarbonization pathways. InJune 2022 , theU.S. Supreme Court issued a decision that restricts the authority of theUnited States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ) to establish greenhouse gas emission reduction measures under the federal Clean Air Act to technology that reduces greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion sources.Con Edison , as part of a coalition of public and private utilities, was a party in the case and had argued that theU.S. Supreme Court should not adopt this restrictive statutory reading of the Clean Air Act.The U.S. Supreme Court's decision could have potential cost implications for CECONY because it could limit its flexibility to use measures such as emissions trading and averaging to cost-effectively meet federal greenhouse gas emissions limits for its limited portfolio of steam and electric generating assets. The decision could also indirectly impact CECONY's, O&R's and the Clean Energy Businesses' initiatives to develop renewable energy sources. The Companies are unable to predict the impact on them as a result of the decision or any regulations that may be promulgated by theEPA in light of thisU.S. Supreme Court decision.

Renewable Electric Generation Renewable electric production volumes from utility scale assets for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 compared with the 2021 period were: Millions of kWh For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended Percent Percent Description June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 Variation Variation June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 Variation Variation Renewable electric projects Solar 2,202 1,855 347 18.7 % 3,705 3,066 639 20.8 % Wind 326 380 (54) (14.2) % 698 721 (23) (3.2 %) Total 2,528 2,235 293 13.1 % 4,403 3,787 616 16.3 % Con Edison Transmission CET Gas InMay 2022 , the operator of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which is being constructed by a joint venture in whichCET Gas owns a 9.9 percent interest (which is expected to be reduced to 8.0 percent based on the latest project cost estimate andCET Gas' previous capping of its cash contributions to the joint venture), indicated it plans to pursue new permits and is now targeting a full in-service date during the second half of 2023 at a total project cost of approximately$6,600 million , excluding allowance for funds used during construction. InJune 2022 , the Mountain Valley Pipeline joint venture filed a request with theFERC for an extension of time to complete the project, as the current permit expiresOctober 13, 2022 . AtJune 30, 2022, CET Gas' carrying value of its investment in MVP was$111 million andCET Gas' cash contributions to the joint venture amounted to$530 million . 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 and investment risk. Interest Rate Risk The Companies' interest rate risk primarily relates to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities, and variable-rate debt.Con Edison and its subsidiaries manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. The Clean Energy Businesses use interest rate swaps to exchange variable-rate project financed debt for a fixed interest rate. See Note N to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.Con Edison and CECONY estimate that atJune 30, 2022 , a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of$6 million and$4 million , respectively. 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.
Commodity Price Risk
Con Edison's commodity price risk primarily relates to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note N to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.Con Edison estimates that, as ofJune 30, 2022 , a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of$179 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which$164 million is for CECONY and$15 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 those customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs. However, increases in electric and gas commodity prices may contribute to a slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances and increases to the allowance for uncollectible accounts, and may result in increases to write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances. 90

InFebruary 2022 , the NYSPSC, in response to higher customer bills, requested that CECONY enhance its efforts to mitigate customer bill volatility due to commodity price increases by reassessing its power supply billing practices and improve communications to customers regarding forecasted significant bill increases resulting from commodity price increases. InMarch 2022 , CECONY filed with the NYSPSC a proposed amendment to its electric tariff, effectiveJune 1, 2022 , to change how CECONY recovers the cost of electricity supplied to its full-service electric customers to reduce the likelihood of customer bill volatility by more closely aligning supply prices with CECONY's electric supply hedging positions. CECONY also committed to provide notice to customers in cases where supply price increases could result in significantly higher bills. InMay 2022 , the NYSPSC approved the tariff on an emergency basis, effectiveJune 1, 2022 . The emergency approval is in effect untilAugust 9, 2022 . Final approval by the NYSPSC is pending. The Clean Energy Businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market price risk of their portfolio of electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase 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, 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 six months endedJune 30, 2022 and the year endedDecember 31, 2021 , respectively, was as follows: 95% Confidence Level, One-Day Holding Period June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (Millions of Dollars) Average for the period$1 $1 High 2 3 Low 1 - Investment Risk The Companies' investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans.Con Edison's investment risk also relates to the investments of Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for under the equity method. See "Investments" in Note A to the Second Quarter Financial Statements. The Companies' current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 45 to 55 percent equity securities, 33 to 43 percent debt securities and 10 to 14 percent real estate. AtJune 30, 2022 , the pension plan investments consisted of 48 percent equity securities, 36 percent debt securities and 16 percent real estate. 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. O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its NY rate plans. Material Contingencies For information concerning potential liabilities arising from the Companies' material contingencies, see "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" and "Other Regulatory Matters" in Note B and Notes G and H to the Second Quarter Financial Statements. 91 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
