Impact of Texas House Bill 4384 on Regulatory and Financial Strategy

The enactment of Texas House Bill 4384 supports recovery of system investments, potentially adding $4-5 million annually to pretax earnings through deferrals and accruals.
The bill extends existing deferral and accrual mechanisms to all capital expenditures in Texas, enhancing cash flow and earnings stability.
Management indicated that the bill's benefits are additive to their previous guidance, with no expected need to alter their capital or growth plans.
The procedural rules for implementing the bill are still being drafted by the Railroad Commission, with completion expected by next spring.
The bill's impact is reflected in the 2025 guidance update, which now includes these additional deferrals, supporting the company's growth outlook.
This legislative change exemplifies how regulatory environment shifts can materially influence financial performance and strategic planning.

Impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on Renewable Project Development and Safe Harbor Interpretation

The Act provides that wind and solar projects must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, with a safe harbor for projects beginning construction before July 4, 2026.
